PencilCat

Pictures I draw and things I find

Burdens, the ebook I drew the cover for, is now for sale on Amazon!

In the long years after the world ends, elder empires struggle toward an uncertain rebirth under the shadow of the relentless demiurge Pantherion. A horse-headed man, a wizard always in need of a drink and a cast of other strange, unlikely souls struggle against the growing darkness, the machinations of a foe that can twist beasts into monsters in service of a scourge that could end all humanity.
Join Burroughs Viklund, a morose man-monster who’d rather be tending his watermelons instead of saving the world, Shaw, a somewhat-shifty magus reluctantly willing to die (and die again) for his Art, and Viday, a truly deer friend, on their journey through the spindled Island of Caiphon in an adventure laden with action, wonder, pathos, talking dogs and surprisingly effective (though certainly off-label) uses of canned goods. Lose hope for the future of humanity, while having a blast doing it!
BURDENS is Peter Trinidad’s first novel in the UGLINESS MEN series. He wishes for you to learn to suffer as he has.

I saw this up on Boom’s website so I figured it’s ok for me to show it now.
This is the variant cover I drew for Bravest Warriors #11! :D
I was allowed to draw pretty much whatever I wanted. Somehow I ended up with the team fishing for giant space axolotls (with Danny as the bait)
I’ll post the non-logo version later (currently sitting in my other computer)

Random fanart Friday doodle. 
Fun fact: I was a huuuuuge fan of Digimon as a kid. I loved Pokemon, but then Digimon came out and I was hooked. I think it was because there was that blend of both cartoony and “bad-ass” designs. Something there for everyone to like.
It was even the first show I created cliche fan-characters for. Good times.

quick (ugly) doodle of Sylveon. Partway through it I got to thinking, what are the ribbons made of? Flesh?
New headcanon is that the ribbons are actually prehensile tentacles that it uses to strangle its victims. Remember, never trust the cute ones. Especially if they are pink. 
I’ll probably draw this again, because I like the idea but not the picture.

Morning warm-up doodle (it’s so nice to finally have the time/energy to do these again).
Mew…three? (whatever the new Mew is called). Since I’m drawing all the other pokemon in order, it will be eons before I get to the very end, so I don’t feel bad about skipping ahead to doodle the new ones. 
I actually don’t mind the new design. Different and weird, but not bad. His head’s so large. I imagine him speaking in his high-pitched kid voice.

My late-night doodle. Pythos showed me some naga statues (of the non-snake/people kind) and I used them for basic inspiration for this…thing. His head’s a bit warped but whatevs. I got livestream to work on my new computer, so you can watch me draw it here

Quick warm-up sketch using last night’s list. Someone said ‘tapir’ which led me to looking up the mythos of the Baku spirit. Kind of a realistic interpretation? Added Malayan tapir colors (because they look like the pig version of pandas), with some stripes to emphasis the tiger feet.

First ones that inspired me were ‘something with horns’, ‘unicorn’, and ‘markhor’ (I’ll admit I had to look that one up. Instant hell yes). And because I’m just that predictable, I added teeth and spikes. Because why not. 
Thanks for all the suggestions! I’ll keep the others in mind for future reference!

Free from midterms! (well…mostly….)
After working in InDesign for so long I needed to draw something weird and with teeth before I went mad. 
I think some of my madness leaked through.

Fixed up some things from last night. Redrew the characters, because somehow proportions just flew out the window during the initial process.
Ffffffff so close to being done with this one. I’ll have more info about the project it’s for soon.

I’m going to sit on this tonight and tweak it in the morning (with fresh eyes) before sending it off for opinions. 
I took a bit of a dramatic change from previously, but I think I like it better? I was fighting with the foreground too much in the previous version, so I went with a much more clear approach.

Got drivers and programs installed on the new computer today. Doodled a few things while I adjusted my tablet’s sensitivity settings. 
I feel like a genius because I actually figured out how to program my tablet’s shortcut keys so that one of them is undo in PS.
