COMMISSIONS! Information here!

I am starting commissions!!!!

Why? I need an excuse to draw as much as possible...and seeing as how I'm not terribly confident about my ability to get a job before I go back to school...well, what better way to make some dough than to sell my art?

Even if I get a job before school starts again, I need another source of some form of income that I can turn to in the next 2 years. (When I sign up for this masters' program, I won't even be permitted to have a job...)

May I be good enough to warrant your patronage!

Anyways....

My Canvas So Far....

Alright, so here is all of the art that I've done in May (and also some of this month). I've also got some 3D models I've been working on. I really have to catch up on stuff...\

Most of these were done with Prismacolor Pencils.

1.) SomecallmeJohnny Amiibo

There is a meme of sorts among this YouTube reviewer's fanbase. He posted a photo on Twitter with the caption "Amiibo Hunt Successful" and made a deliberately stupid face.

Amiibo Hunt successful! pic.twitter.com/EZndD4ld1D

— SomecallmeJohnny (@Somecallmejon) March 8, 2015

It has now become a meme amongst the fanbase to not only make edits of that photo, but also of other photos that he would post on Twitter later on. I decided to make his actual face an amiibo. I thought it was funny. I exaggerated the original face for added humor.

2.) Dr.Finitevus for Fini

One of the people I follow on Tumblr goes by the user name of Fini-Mun. Yeah, he's kind of a fan of Dr.Finitevus from the Sonic the Hedgehog Pre-Reboot Archie Comics. He's an artist who does amazing Sonic work as well as amazing work period.

He offered his assistance so that I might start commissions online, and this was a thank you gift to him. I don't know...I feel the pose is stiff.....

3.) For Robotnik-Mun

Robotnik-Mun is another person I follow on Tumblr. He's most famous for the hastag Ken Penders is a Douche, where he rightfully riffs on the antics of the infamous Sonic Archie writer/artist Ken Penders.

He has a personal history with Penders' work so the man affects him quite a bit...either way it was fun to read RM for so long, do I drew his favorite Sonic character, SatAM Robotnik. I even put in a caption. "Sir, Ken Penders is at it again!"

4.) For RobotnikHolmes

RobotnikHolmes is another user in my circle of Tumblr blogs that I follow. His blog, RobotnikHolmesComicBlog, saw him reviewing all of the major Sonic Archie comics all the way from the first issue.

After finishing up the dreaded Penders era, he reviewed the first few issues of the Flynn era. He's on break now, but his reviews were very entertaining for me so I felt he deserved something nice. Penders is a slice of pizza here because comedy.

Fun Fact: I actually reference a photo of the Angry Video Game Nerd to draw RH's face.

In the artwork for this OC of his, he delivers pizza so....yeah. I feel like I drew his left eye too low...

5.) Skyline Sonic for DrawLoverLala

DrawloverLaLa is a Chilean artist on Tumblr who primarily draws Sonic art. She draws Sonic style stuff perfectly and her work has a lot of energy and color to it.

Her re-designs of the Archie comic characters and others from Sonic spin-off media are amazing. I just love how she draws.

This is her version of Sonic from what she calls the Skyline Alternate Universe. I tried to put more energy into this...but I don't really feel it.

6.) Classic Bunnie

Now this is part of a series I did where I drew the Freedom Fighters from the Sonic Archie comics "classic" style. I had been wanting to do it for a long time before this, so these were fun.

The first one was Bunnie. Pretty much all of my Classic redesigns are combinations of the SatAM designs, the pre reboot comics, and the reboot comics.

Bunnie has short hair like her SatAM design, but I kept the reboot design in tact. The shoes are simplified and I made sure the leotard looked like a leotard and not part of her body.

7.) Classic Antoine

It seemed appropriate to draw Bunnie's lover boy Antoine next.

I combined the pre-reboot design with the reboot design. I wanted to keep the coat because I felt like that was an important part of the character, but I simplified it and put the band and belt that he wears on top of it.

Plus I gave him the sword. In this picture it's a little crooked...and it sure is big compared to his body.

8.) Classic Rotor

Meh...Rotor's probably my least favorite of the Freedom Fighters, but he's good in his own ways. I love how they gave him a dad in the reboot and made his dad an Egg Boss (One of Eggman's right hand men).

So since he's an inventor or something I gave him a screwdriver. This is primarily his reboot design but I gave him the Classic hat. Also some hair.

9.) Bob's Burgers' Revolver

I love Bob's Burgers (but I haven't seen Seasons 6 or 7...why did Netflix remove this show?) and in recent years I've become a huge fan of the Beatles.

Revolver is one of my favorite albums ever, so just because I wanted to do a humorous parody, which there are plenty of, I drew this.

Since the album cover is black and white, I didn't have to color this. I did however add shading where it existed in the original album cover.

Fans of the show will recognize the little things I put in there. Also I'm sorry about that bottom of the picture...I don't really know what happened there.

10.) Classic Nicole

Oh boy! I've always been a fan of AI characters like Nicole. She's so cute and so cool. Y'know Ian Flynn has said that if he could make her and Sally a couple, he'd do it, and I would totally love to see that.

For this one she has all the accessories of her reboot design, but I gave her the pre-reboot dress. I also decided to add the pixel effects for this one, similar to how she's projected in the comics.

I guess it is a little weird that I went with this face...but I know the original face I did where she had one eye half-closed looked pretty dumb.

This is my favorite out of all of the Classic drawings I did.

11.) Classic Sally

Sally has always been pretty cool when she's written right now that I think about it....

So this design actually has minor alterations since she already has a kid look from the flashbacks in the reboot comics. I wanted to give her a sort of battle-ready, confident pose. I think this pose got a little wonky...mostly because of the limbs...I don't think I stretched them well enough, but I don't hate this. I do think I did well with that simple ethereal effect on the blade.

12.) Zelda 1 Link

Now...THIS. This is the one piece out of all of these that I have sunk the most time into. I gave it a background and shading and everything!

So I've finally properly gotten into the Zelda franchise, and I feel like a fool for not doing it sooner, because I loved Link to the Past and I'm loving Ocarina of Time. I kind of suck at the games, but they're still really fun. So I made a decision to do a series of illustrations of the Links from the multiple games that I am playing as I play them.

I initially played Zelda 1 and 2, but I could not beat either. Still, I decided to include those two in this series. This is the Legend of Zelda 1 Link.

I make sure to reference official art as closely as possible. I like how the magical sword and logo turned out. I'm keeping the first few simple to reflect the simple nature of 8 bit games....I'd better get used to picking a color palette for each piece, because that's the effect that I wish to achieve. I also need to practice texture stuff with Prismacolor pencils... I'm moderately proud of this piece.

I can't wait to get better and do the others!!


So yeah, those are the highlights of my 2d art from this past month.

I have to do much more drawing to do better pieces, especially because I eventually want to do graphic novels.

Once I open up commissions, I hope that helps me improve.
