Lorilai

Hey guys! I just wanted to post something real quick to show you all I'm not dead. I got some time to sketch again (with my tablet having been separated from me for about a week) and it felts super good!

This is Lorilai, a tonfa-wielding martial artist who fights all things supernatural! A character I made for an Anima Campaign my friends have started. We're looking to move in with them, so we'll be doing this campaign quite a bit.

The hunt for the apartment has been less successful than we would have liked... not everyone wants multiple families living in their 3 bedroom homes I guess. blahhhh

BUT THAT CHANGES TODAY I WILL FIND VICTORY

*runs off to make phone calls*

Comics!

So I was laying on my sisters air mattress a few days ago, thoroughly enjoying the crisp, spring Arizona air, thinking to myself how lovely April is in the desert...

April... right? Yeah. April.

But April is almost over, isn't it? That's right, wow I almost forgot. Where does the time go? I can't believe April is almost over.

wait
...
APRIL IS ALMOST OVER???

I am two comics, and two portraits behind on commissions, and I promised I would finish those before May. And that's... *checks calendar* ...tomorrow...

First rule as an artist: 1. DON'T PROCRASTINATE JUST DON'T DO IT GUYS

I went to AkwardZombie for inspiration in these comics. I just adore her style and humor and someday I will be like her... sigh

In other news, I taught a class at the AHA charter school on Wednesday. It was an Art Day, and I taught Comics and Paneling. I feel like after teaching that class my comics have improved... Like, from not drawing them anymore to drawing them all the time now. IMPROVEMENT!

Dragon Age is a fun game but I can't afford to take up another addiction, so there's that

D&D Fun times! As seen in my last post, Orianna got a new outfit. And I suppose so did Gwar...Cat-Like reflexes, that one!

COMMISSIONS

Recently found myself with good friends who role play and love to see their characters drawn. So, I thought I would help ;)

A Dragonborn Paladin of Bahamut, Nixolas! Ever the defender

In contrast to the Paladin, enter Gwar the half-orc barbarian. They disagree on some fronts.

Gwar's favorite thing to do is intimidate and threaten people

Kathleen, the Fighter. She has a noble mission, if not a bit... jaded

Cursed Cleric, named Mask. Living a life to redeem his past sins

The Rogue, Braiten. 'Nuff said

Like I said earlier-- It's his favorite thing to do.

Kathleen's counterpart-- Vengence

Had a lot of fun with this one-- the last thing people see when Gwar is raging towards them

Orianna, the tiefling sorceress. Heavily influenced by Michelle Czajkowski's character, Wrathia!

I think my favorite part about all of these commissions is I'm feeling myself get better and better with each sketch and painting.

I'm beginning to think that this blog will become my progressive journal in my journey to becoming a graphic novelist!
