PT Steampunk Genderflip

This one has a story behind it, and I decided to go ahead and post it here. I don't think too many people look here, so the joke won't be spoiled.

My friend Becky and I are admins for a fan community on DeviantArt for the series Princess Tutu, Club-Tutu. We decided to include the members in deciding the theme for the next contest. Almost as soon as we came up with some prompts, we also came up with a "joke" prompt to see if it could possibly win. This prompt was a combo of Steampunk and Genderflip. We decided to use the loser of the poll as an April Fool's day posting, and it quickly turned out to be this one. So, yeah.

Initial pen sketch for a possible Gargoyles anthology project. Bit late this time.

Entertain myself

I went out with my mom last night to go hear a lecture on African-American fashion designers prior to the 1960s. Unfortunately, the lecture itself, with a pleasant surprise at the end, was not what I was expected, and was pretty dull. It was painful at one point for mom. At least I got a few good doodles at dinner and at the lecture itself.


This should hopefully lead to something.


The day's daily drawing.

March DD #3

Still going, if not always going strong. This one fell back onto so many bad habits, I am ashamed

watercolor exercise 1

I don't do all that much with watercolors. I'm working on that. So today's finished drawing is actually a painting. It's a simple exercise from a how-to paint book, but it got me started. That pleases me.

eyes and pastoral

First, some eye studies based on Kosuke Fujishima.


A pastoral scene with that faun-nymph pair from a while back.

further eye studies

Another page of eye studies. This page is after Yukiru Sugisaki's DNAngel.

Eye studies day 2 and crap

Continuing the eye studies/copies from artists I enjoy. This time, they're from CLAMP's xxxHolic.


A quick and poorly drawn page of stuff. Need to get to drawing figures and faces. Bleh.

fauns, nymphs, and eyes

This is actually a rather older sketch, done at the beginning of the month. I was in part inspired by the work of this one artist, Arnold Bocklin, namely his fauns/satyrs and nymphs. I hope to embellish these two.



I've noticed that my eyes are all starting to look alike and losing some of their expressiveness. Okay, all parts of my faces start to look alike, and poorly so. I'm working on improving it, and part of that is doing studies. Studies can include doing copies of artists you admire, so long as it's to learn how the artist did it. Right now, I'm doing eyes (I like doing eyes). Below are studies from a Bargue plate, Joseph Sheppard, and Sailor Moon studies from Naoko Takeuchi. Expect more over the next few days, moving back to real eyes.
