Wonder Woman vs. the Patriarchy

Happy Saturday, friends!
Here's a Wonder Woman I had in my sketchbook for a while. I actually painted it with gouache but am a dummy and forgot to scan it before shipping if off to a show. So here's a digitally colored version for your viewing pleasure!

(Also, damn you Casey for taking Blue and Gold!! lol)

throwback to good days

this is a throwback from my sketchbook around September of 2 years ago. It was one of many rarer good days and we spent it eating crepes, sipping pumpkin lattes and makin' a sketch for a friend. The cafe is La Petite Triangle.





Weekly Challenge SPECIAL: Remembering Armanda McCafferty 11/30/84-11/05/14

Hey folks, this is your fellow scribble nerd Ashley here taking over for Dee this week to bring you a very special challenge: my best friend Armanda.
Armanda has been my best friend for a little over 10 years and after fighting a very miserable and painful illness for the last 5 she finally let go and passed away Wednesday morning.




It's difficult for me to find things to say about her that don't sound like some cliche Hallmark card.
She was one of the truest, goodest, most kind hearted people I've ever met. She valued every single person she ever knew. Even through some of her darkest times she still put on a smile and tried to make the day brighter for the people who cared for her both in and out of the hospital. Her good nature was infectious even to a hardened asshole like me.
We used to joke often about how conflicting our natures were and how by all means we shouldn't be friends, but ended up with a bond closer than most sisters.  Not a day went by when I visited, despite the pain she was in, where she didn't inquire about my well-being or what new things I had going with my art projects.

Well babe, now you're one of 'em.
It's not much, but I hope I can at least honor the memory of you and all you've done for me.

Thank you Scribble Nerds, my friends, for putting pencil to paper and helping out a nerd in need.

(All challenges will be put up on display during Friday's wake)

The Slacker Zombie of all time!

When it came to zombies, "Shaun of the Dead" was the first thing that popped into my head. Mainly because it gave me an excuse to make some movie posters!

This movie has been out awhile, so I hope this isn't going to be a spoiler! :D



I decided to illustrate the lovable Zombie Ed!
I also created one with a background. Don't know how much I like this one.

Here's the original sketch. 

I can't wait for my first ever art event with the group! Don't forget to check out Oddmall this weekend! It's going to be great!

Sunday Catch-up: Kaiju

Few weeks ago, we had a kaiju challenge that I was really excited for. I'd been playing around with Godzilla ideas for awhile and thought the challenge was perfect. Too bad I took on more than I could and didn't finish on time. But you are in luck! I finished the illustration and it came out better than the original idea.



Here's the version without the gradient on the buildings.



Taking the extra time to flesh this out really made a difference. I'm trying to find a style of my own and this is one piece that really shows how far I'm coming along in terms of digital art. I'm nowhere near where I'd like to be, but I'm getting there, so I'm pretty satisfied with that!

Kaiju + Drax got back

Hey citizens! Ashley here playing catch up from last week so you get two goodies today!

last week was Guardians of the Galaxy and I scribbled a bootylicious Drax for ya during Drink N Draw:
jury's still out though on whether that crack is whack




this week is "Kaiju" or monster and my original sketch is a throw back now updated digitally with some bangin' color! I remember watching a documentary on PBS one time about the human brain and how it interprets images. What was really interesting is how the brain can't stand or is deeply unnerved by even the slightest discrepancy in normal facial features.

I think about that a lot sometimes

so here's a funny drawing about that!
name me ONE good taco joint in France

as always swing by my blarrrgh for more weird stuff!

Best Part of the Movie!

Before I saw Guardians of the Galaxy wednesday, I was going to draw a full team action illustration, but then I saw the movie and fell in love with:


The whole movie was great and all, but you can't beat a baby tree dancing to Jackson 5. Nope. No way. 

Be prepared for some more GOTG fan art coming soon!

Gunnm.



The first manga I ever read was "Battle Angel Alita" (Gunnm).  I was still pretty into western superhero comics when I was 15/16 but that all changed when I started hanging out at the library. Around that time Manga was just really starting to pop up more in the US and the library that I frequent had  a pretty good collection. Since I was already into Cowboy Bebop and Akira animes, I went hunting for  mangas and I wasn't let down.
Battle Angel  was full of sci-fi, violence and chaos, all lead by a sweet faced cyborg. It was glorious.
So here are a few sketches of Alita. I'm going to put these through illustrator but couldn't in time for this challenge! In time though!
