Space key, as always! Decided not to call it an "art dump" this time - it's more a "desperate offering of what can be construed as art due to the ill-defined and highly personal meaning of what art is." 1) Penny from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. (I am currently bitter about Felicia Day FORCING me to watch My Little Pony until I see the episode she's in, but I guess I'll get over it.) 2, 3) For some reason I wanted to draw my OCs as screencaps from Parks and Recreation. #2 looks better, but #3 is a more iconic scene. I'll probably do more of these because I enjoy them. 4) Here's a random side character from my book admiring some fabric. In hindsight, it's probably because I think about old episodes of Project Runway too much, but how am I not meant to have an extreme reaction to Anya losing her money in Mood, honestly! 5) This character hasn't changed much in the five/six years since I've created her, but BAM now she has an eye patch. Why not? 6) Another of my characters. I!! love!! him!! so!! much!! 7) My beautiful semi-cliché sassy dragon daughter And now for some pictures from sketchbooks and homework margins. I apologize for the poor quality! 8) Listening to the finale of A Chorus Line on repeat for prolonged periods of time can have abysmal effects, as evidenced here. 9) A character of mine. The one on the left is where she looks good and majestic and her hair is all ethereal and flowy for some reason, the one on the right is where she is a cute dork. (The "NAH" is a really ugly unfinished drawing that I couldn't crop out.) 10) Another duality of girls from my book, on the left she is a disgruntled scientist wearing sweatpants and ugh boots (plot twist: I have no idea how to spell) and on the right she's got a really great outfit and a sassy attitude and a good-looking hand that got blurred out by the camera 11) Another girl from my book. She's an explorer and her name can be shortened to Dora, so I'll either have to lampshade things or change something next time a fresh draft demands to be written. 12) On the left is the girl from #9 and on the right is the girl from (pre-eye patch.) These drawings aren't meant to coincide in the same scene, but it wouldn't be out of character at all if it was! 13) This is cropped terribly because I forgot I'm vain about my hands, but here's some cute business ladies - look at that clipboard! That headset! Those kitten heels! (That's an index finger...) 14) Doodling is a disaster and I am bad at it. There's a rad starship glove-wearing muscular OC woman, a scroll, a kid sitting in a very strange position, a lady whose hair is dramatically blowing in the wind (lower in the picture she has a SWORD ooo) and -- well, I have no idea what the thing in the center is; I think it involves fingerguns. 15) Every so often I try to design characters with very distinct and unrealistic body shapes but it never goes well. Here's two of them. The characters' designs have changed so much since I drew this! 16) And here's the other half of that page. It's drawn upside-down on one of the notebooks I had when I was really little, so I have no idea what the words on the bottom mean. 17) The three pillars of humanity: Eliza Schuyler, Mercutio I think???, and the top of a very unremarkable Hamlet's head. (tbh my favorite headcanon in all of everything is that Hamlet starts the play with his hair dyed black and then his blond roots keep cropping up further as it progresses, only propelling the tragedy further) (this is on my geography homework so it's all crammed together) 18) A Beatrice inspired by the 2011 production with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, and on the right a Miranda I think??? 19) This is supposed to be Maria from Twelfth Night, probably one of my favorite Shakespeare characters. I was supposed to play either her or Andrew Aguecheek, but then complications happened. (The one on the left is the Miranda pictured earlier.)
