Amelia Bedelia and so many mermaids!

OH HEY
So, to start this week off here's a throwback featuring a character I've loved since 2nd grade, when I'd spend my indoor recess time reading books under the big tables in class.

Drop the beat

and for last weeks challenge, a slew of mer-folk!

Rule 63: just a stupid sexy Ice Queen

your old pal Ribbs is back with a Rule 63 so good, it became canon.

Adventure Time's Ice Queen!
Who knew she was hiding such a svelte figure under those robes?

Hi! I'm Ashley. Ms. Ribblett if yer nasty.

the damn artist herself

So! Let's keep this short and sweet and so we can get to the weird pictures I draw.

I'm Ashley, a 29yr old illustrator living in Lakewood. I sling coffee by day and do my dirty drawings at night.
I've done lots of different kinds of illustrations over the years (most recently illustrating my first ever comic for Graham Cracker Comics in Chicago!)  but as of late I've found a comfortable niche drawing pinups.

If I'm drawing traditionally my weapons of choice are pencil, ink, marker or watercolor. I don't do much vector work so most of my digital illustration is done by way of tablet in my favorite program Paint Tool Sai and edited in Photoshop.

I also co-run the Cleveland Chapter of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, an alternative style (think cabaret) life drawing group that meets once a month. If you're in the Cleveland area and are in the need to draw some curvy swervy dames, look us up!

Monster Challenge - Final Fantasy Kaiju

Or challenge this week was to draw Japanese Kaiju!  I love Godzilla and Mothra a whole bunch, but I'm not that into the giant monster scene. I've been a Final Fantasy fan for a long time, so I decided to draw some of my favorite recurring monsters, the Cactuar, Tonberry, Flan and Ahirman. 

My computer is sort of dead at the moment, so I did this the old school way. Used watercolor, prisma color markers and pens of various colors (think there may even be a touch of colored pencil).  I haven't done a finished piece by hand in about 2 years, so it was definitely a challenge. Also, I remembered how much fun it is to get my hands dirty!
