I do fancy this version of the infamous hook-limbed pirate.

The Fairest of them all


I recently got into the Once Upon a Time series, and while the effects and lines are sometimes cheesy, I was really drawn to the re-written stories of the classic tales we all know. The crazy twists of plot and character complexities are good enough to allow me to overlook the cheesy effects. Really like this show!
Here is the Evil Queen, who is probably one of my favourite characters in all of Storybrooke, second only to Rumpelstiltskin.
Great great character! =D

SCOUT POWER!

My SUPER late submission to the wtfartfriday group blog.
Last friday's theme was TOONAMI. 

I had to google this, since we don't really get Cartoon Network here in Canada (until recently).

I saw that Sailor Moon was one of the first shows on the original show rosters in the Toonami lineup and I just HAD to make a doodle of them "transforming".  This was actually a pencil doodle from a long time ago that I never finished, and since I was so short on time this week, I thought I'd pull from old archives and actually finish this one.

These ladies were probably one of the first sparks that began my interest in animation. 

SCOUT POWER!! :)

Caption for Batman

My good buddies and I started a tumblr of fanart where the subject changes every friday, and we post as much as we can regarding the subject. 
This week's topic is none other than my favourite, Batman! 

Sadly, I was staring at my screen for like 20 minutes trying to come up with a caption, but I really suck at putting captions on my own drawings, so I thought I'd open it out to you guys to put some witty caption along with this doodle. 

Enjoy! :D
 
(EDIT)
A friend told me that the pose looked like Despicable Me dude, and suggested I add in the bat fam as the 3 girls (unicorn too!).
 
Cookies to those who know who that is in the background. :)

Rugged grace

I think Korra is one of my all-time favourite characters to draw. She has a very rugged grace to her movements, its very dynamic, and always poetic. Any time I want to warm up in sketching, I always do a few scibbles of Korra.

I was studying some old block print paintings of Hokusai’s work, and I really like the faded print look, so I decided to try it out on a quick 15 min sketch of Korra.

Epiphanies and Junk


Two weeks ago, my friend and I had gotten into a pretty serious car accident.
Thankfully, no one was really hurt, and the pain we're going through now is miniscule compared to if we had lost our lives.

I know people have really lame epiphanies about life being short and junk... but there is clear truth in the cliche phrase. Life is a breath. Fast and short, and leaves you wondering how it went by so quickly. So I encourage you to live it meaningfully. Do the things you always say you're gonna do, follow through with plans you've always made, dwell on the things that matter, forget the things that don't, and search for the Truth your innate curiosity has always wondered about. Live Life Meaningfully. (I was never a fan of the YOLO saying). 

That being said, I've always had this one particular storyline in the back burner of my head, since I can remember first learning how to draw. Its evolved over time, changing as I learn more about the delicate art of story-telling while continuously searching for my style. 

Anyway, I've always kept it in notebooks, or the back of my mind... but now, I think its time I start really exploring, and get it off the ground somehow. Its always been a distant dream of mine to do a graphic novel, so I thought why not start?

This piece is just a snippet of what I've been working on since forever.
It doesn't say much about the story or character, and it'll prolly change over the years, but I figure life's too short to leave everything as a "one day...".
I'll start with "today." 

*lame epiphany music*
lol!

1st Character Card.
Her name is Zia.

She's a quick-witted runner from the eastern mountains who enjoys a good race here and there for good sport... and to show off a little when people overlook her strength because of her totem animal.

Her Totem is a Rabbit.
