Robots are more fun to draw when they're round. :3

I've been trying to get myself to doodle and sketch at least a little bit most days lately, but it's a lot of rough stuff I haven't felt like posting.

Rabbit Women and Talking Dresses

Nemo and Rae portrait.

Rough sketch.

Nemo using String Magic.

Rough sketch.

Creeping and Crawling

Rae bein' a li'l scamp.

Nemo and Rae are an interesting pair with a needlessly convoluted backstory I'm in the process of trying to decide whether or not to rework. Nemo was a video game character, a rabbit-woman librarian NPC, brought to life "accidentally" by a hedonistic trickster goddess during a "real life roleplay session". Rather than erase Nemo when her task in the physical world was done, the goddess allowed her to keep on living in the miniature multiverse which she, and several other goddesses, had recently created. She also granted Nemo the unique ability to learn the native Magics of any World she visited, and be able to still use those Magics in other Worlds where they normally wouldn't function. Rae (short for "raiment"), is her living dress, accidentally brought to life by Nemo while the latter was studying the power of String Magic. The two have been stalwart interdimensional travel companions ever since!

Initially, they were going to be the main characters of an adventure series that was intended to be a sort of "tour guide" of the setting they had been incarnated in. That series, like so many others before it, never happened, of course. I have made a couple little things involving the duo, and they are fun to draw, but I've come to feel that the initial setting I made them for has severely hamstrung what I can actually do with them. I've recently been thinking about what I can do to "reincarnate" them into something else, although it would be extremely difficult to do that without compromising a lot of the metafictional details that make them who they are. Also, let's be real, whatever I come up with probably isn't getting made either anyway.

Clawsthetic

 

Trying some scribble-fill with this one. Also trying out more textured pens and brushes with these last sketches.

Wut U Lookin At

Some of these sketches lately just start off as a scribbling I intend to breeze through in five minutes, only to end up putting more time and effort then I initially intended. But it still ends up just being a sketch. Thats okay, though. Good practice.

I feel like for once, I actually nailed the expression, but I apparently completely forgot how to draw a braid and had to try like a dozen times to figure out the weave.

Red Lines

 

I dunno, man, I just work here.

Rabbits, Monsters, and Ladies on Walls

I wasn't trying to make some kinda Usagi Yojimbo fan art, but after coloring his shirt blue, I had a "wait a minute" moment. I like how the red shirt looks, though.

 

I spent like an extra hour trying to figure out how to color the Lady on the Wall. Initially supposed to be a solid black suit, but then I got lost in the weeds of how to detail it. Whatever.

More Doodling

More doodling, trying out different art programs, different brushes, and just trying out some cartooning again.
