After seeing what all you digital artists are capable of, I've been trying to come up with a few cartoony doodles of my own this past week.

My previous efforts were more along the line of bad MS Paint scribbles, in terms of digitally coloring anything. Virmir's ustream videos showing his drawing process really helped though. Layers - they are wonderful things.

While I will probably never be an artist, at least now my pencil is obeying my imagination, and I can color the images halfway respectably. These were done with GIMP (open source image editor) and a cheap graphics tablet (default Windows drivers, no pressure sensitivity or anything fancy).

Anyway, here are two that sort of fit with the theme of the website:


This guy is some random grey fox wizard, doing what I imagine wizards spend most of their time doing. Trying to take over the world! Reading up on how to do it.



This is a black cat black mage casting something burny. (Also, it looks like his hat is about to fly off or something. I'll have to fix that in later versions).

So yesterday, I was thinking:

Assuming you've joined a steampunk airship navy at war, but you're bored and you need more excitement, what would be the next "logical" progression in crazy-awesome? How about a death-defying boarding action in midair with gunpowder-rocket assisted hang-gliders?

Thank you all for your kind comments and attention.

So far the characters I have sketched are rather generic. (I do need to work on making them more individualized - expressions, faces, hair, ect) I notice many of you have some rather well developed characters of your own. With your permission, may I attempt to draw them sometime?

(With school picking up pace soon, I might not have much time for art, but I might be able to spare an hour or two on the weekends or so).

I don't mind either.

And the artwork is just amazing.

(Finally got time to see the great artwork, been a hectic month.)
