I’m a fidgeter, and have been since childhood. While I can attribute my adolescent uneasiness to things like boredom and sugar, my adult fits are due to a harsh condition of reality. Time is money, and the more time I do nothing, the less I make. So, if I’m standing in line, riding on a bus, or just have down time at work, I’m compelled to fill that void with something.
So drawing is actually a form of pacifier for me. I’ve realized that when I do my next commission, I’m starting at a size like 9×12 or 8.5×11 so I can carry the commission with me much easier and get more done. While I was on the way to the comic show at the Shrine last weekend, I needed to draw something in the crowded bus, so instead of pulling out dirty pictures in progress, I started working on new sketches of Tammy.
I’ve been experimenting with ideas for her laser pistol and wanted a couple of basic poses to play with.
Meanwhile, Tony Batman‘s piece is coming together. I got a really good sketch going, and posted it to his facebook page. The co-hosts chimed in that they had bigger and perkier boobies. So that was easy enough to fix.
Not everything on this is gonna be inked in. Once I’ve got the basics inked, I’ll scan it in and start adding colors. Sherry and I are in agreement, it may not look exactly like Tony, but I’ve captured the personality we wanted. While his expressions in the photos are shocking and funny, they become creepy when translated onto the page. This is more comfortable. We’ve got his chin, his Italian nose, and more of that energy that Tony has plenty of.
As for the bondage babe commission. Ink is going down and progress is being made, but I want to do more. I think a couple more sketches are in order.
