Works from 2000

Here are some pictures from the year 2000. The collection is already quite large, but there are still many pictures missing. In time I plan to add more pictures to this archive.

Regular Joe
Just some guy I sketched in communications class one day. It's a messy sketch, but I like the cut of his jib. I wish I could capture experession like this in all of my drawings.

Pyslocke Poses
One of my Psylocke series of illustrations, based on a Superheroes trading card. The colours are a bit washed-out on this, but I still think it's quite nice!

Scary Fields
Something I did during class in my third year of University. Too bad it's so messy, I think it's a very nice picture. Watch out for the little girl, she's got razor-sharp teeth!

Cyclops
I got a book called Drawing and Cartooning Monsters by Tony Tallarico a while back, and I spent a good chunk of 2000 going through it and doing quick sketches from its pages. This is the only one I inked, I really like the shading.

Castle Guard
A gigantic dragon rests atop a castle turret...this is another sketch from Tony's book. I love the character and the sense of size in this one. Just pencils.

The Summoning
A witch I drew based on Tony Tallarico's monster book. Again, I really like the shading, it was one of the most valuable things I got from the book. Done with pencils.

Playing With Fire
One of my ongoing (and painfully slow) series of Pyslocke drawings. Looking back, the quality of my circles isn't very good, but the picture is quite nice overall. Based on a 1993 trading card.

Alarum
In case you haven't guessed, I did an entire series of these song-based images. This one isn't quite as polished as the other two, but I liked it. The lyrics are from Alarum by the Tea Party, and they are not guaranteed to be accurate!

Sleep to Dream
Based on the song by Fiona Apple. This line is very cool - lots of conviction. I always imagined it as a girl standing defiant against some degenerate (likely male) force.

I don't want knowledge, I want certainty!

Law (Earthlings on Fire)
Based on a song by David Bowie. If you listen closely, it has a subtle lyric hidden under the layers of noise, which is where this image comes from. Incidentally, the smudged lines were a mistake, but they looked neat, so I ran with it.

Hard at Work
Based on art from Harvest Moon 64 - this is NOT an original piece. But I did draw it, and it's cute, so I decided to post it in the venerable scribbles area.

Big Nose
Often, spontaneous sketches turn out really well, because one isn't as tense while working on them. This is a good example.

Anime
An anime-style girl I drew in class back in 2000, must have been thinking about Pokemon. Kind of grubby, but it gives it a neat "weathered" look.
