Second Star to the Right

Second star to the right, and straight on 'till morning.

Annataz si Emosewa!

One of the most kick-ass magic users in the DCU, and I always love trying to pronounce her backwards spells.

Mermaid Cutie

I had a lot of fun working on this piece.  I was originally going to create it digitally, but I was in the mood to get my hands messy.  This piece is a mix of Prismacolor Markers, colored pencils, bleach, and brown micron pens.

Also, boobs.  Because if I lived under the sea and had a rockin' mermaid body (all that swimming is an excellent work out) there is no way in hell I'd put on a seashell bra.  Word. Oh, and she's a goldfish mermaid.

Big Barda!

When this challenge came up, the first character to pop into my head was Big Barda. Here's some info on this lovely buff lady.
Barda was born of the race of New Gods about 250 years ago, on Apokolips. She is a product of Granny Goodness' Home for Orphaned Youth. Granny's motto is "Die for Darkseid" (the planet's evil ruler). Granny grooms Barda to one day lead the Female Fury Battalion, a ferocious pack of women warriors. However, during a raid Barda meets Scott Free, Darkseid's adopted son, and, sensing a peace about him, falls in love.

So here's my (crappy non scanned) version of Big Barda, I've added some tattoos of course!

I'm going to clean it up and make it nice and purdy for the Buff Babe Zine!

Ruby Rhod

A little doodle of the radio host with the most awesome fashion sense in all the galaxy!!

The Bride of Fankenstein

I had so much trouble deciding who to draw for this challenge, but the bride has such a beautiful design that I couldn't help myself.  Now I need to find an excuse to draw my runner up, AudreyII.

Random Dwarfness

I draw the dwarfs from The Hobbit...a lot.  Probably way more than is considered healthy. But anyway, here's a Dwalin piece I'm rather fond of. Enjoy

Disney-Marvel Mashup: Sweetly

For my mash-up I combined Vanellope Von Schweetz with Jubilee to create Vanellope Lee - aka Sweetly (or Sweet-Lee).  She creates saccharinly sweet explosions that burst from her fingertips! Enjoy!

Valus the Colossus

Godzilla and the Kaiju from Pacific Rim are super awesome, but my kind of Kaiju are of the video game variety.  One of my favorite games is Shadow of the Colossus and The First Colossus, Valus is a favorite of mine.  Enjoy!

Rocket Raccoon

Enjoy some Rocket.  He's a total bad-ass and I love 'em to bits!

I will become a bat.

This piece was made for a gallery show happening this coming weekend at Carol and John's Comics in Cleveland Ohio.  If you're in the area drop on by and check it out!

Weekly Challenge: Alice in Wonderland

As promised, here's the full version of my Alice in Wonderland Piece.  Enjoy!

NerDee Hobbit Art

Like any good nerd I have my favorite fandoms and obsessions and my current obsession is The Hobbit movies. I'm constantly drawing all the members of Thorin's Company, but one week I decided to devote myself to The Line of Durin.  The below drawings are of Thorin, Thorin's brother and sister Frerin & Dis, and Thorin's nephews Fili and Kili.  Enjoy.

I'm thinking I might have a print of this at Oddmall ^_^

Alice Sneak Peek

I started working on my Alice in Wonderland drawing and realized that it would be perfect for an upcoming gallery show I'm submitting work for.  I promise to post the full piece as soon as the gallery show opens in a couple weeks, but today I hope you will enjoy this small morsel of a much larger piece.

Shawny's back in action with the Rocketeer! (WIP)

Hello! It's Shawny. I know, I have been missing on the blog for a couple of weeks thanks to my summer job and computer woes. But I'm back and I come with goodies!

For this weeks challenge I did a sketchbook illustration that will eventually go into Illustrator. I wanted to show the rough sketch before cleaning it up and turning it into vector. Since I'm trying to draw more dudes, drawing the Rocketeer was perfect. But of course I had to add a pretty lady!

Close up!

This weekend I'll probably finish it completely and share it with next week's challenge!

Also, just to play catch up, I'll  be posting some of the other challenges I missed, right after the most recent weekly challenge till I'm all caught up!

Rocketeer!

Before Iron Man flew, The Rocketeer did! 

I wonder if Cliff's family can sue Stark over copyrights? No? 

Ah well...extremly quick sketch...about 1hour. Pen, Ink, Prisma Markers. 

Shadow Sirens

I'm going a bit obscure on this one...but I usually do.  I love the Paper Mario games (mostly because of the RPG feel) and I instantly liked the Shadow Sirens/Trio from Thousand-Year Door.  They're purple ghost witches...which are 3 of the coolest things you could possibly be in the history of cool things. Vivian is my fav but that's because he/she is so adorable!

Anyway, enjoy some "sisterly" interaction.

Fan Art Friday!

As I mentioned on Monday, we're now excepting submissions from other artists who are interested in drawing our weekly challenges.  Any one who is interested please check out Monday's post at http://scribblenerds.blogspot.com/2014/06/weekly-challenge-robots.html

For our first Fan Art Friday we have a great piece by David Balan of Iron Woman for our rule 63 challenge.  You can check out more of David's work at www.davidbalan.com

Robot Monster

OK, maybe he’s more monster than Robot, but in my defense Robot is the first word in the title of this 1953 classic monster movie. Ro-Man’s ridiculous design is basically a space helmet slapped on a gorilla suit, but somehow it just works and was a lot of fun to draw.

The Bravest Little Hobbit of Them All

I’m a little obsessed with The Hobbit movies, so I’m not surprised that I gravitated towards drawing a female Bilbo for the Rule 63 challenge. He’s a favorite character of mine but also female hobbits embody everything I love about drawing women…lots of soft curvy lines and expressive faces.

I feel that Bilbo is full of sass and a deep love for the simple things in life, so I hope these drawings do their job in representing these two sides of the female Bilbo I envision.
