"Self" portrait and other people's characters!

Okay, so I figure I'll start with the crappiest doodle first; for my character design class, Dabbs told us to draw a cartoon version of ourselves on the first day. It was supposed to reflect personality as well as the physical appearance. I was stumped on how to represent myself, and I didn't want to go the boring route of "I'm shy." (Even though it's true.)

My friend Alicia always calls me a creep, since I'll hit on her basically . . . everyday. So I went with that, and got a little silly with it.

Below that (the one with me in the hat and my arms crossed), is a much more accurate representation of me. I try to be friendly, but sadly, I'm not that outgoing, and tend to hide behind my hat. So, I'm shy, but instead of being cute about it, I think I come off as mean/aloof/unapproachable.

I'm not sure what the cookie thing is about.



And here we have Emily Morrison's (known as Zazzypaws on deviantart) Sean from her comic, Carmine. And the little fuzzy guy at the top is supposed to be one of her characters too, but I don't know his name. I tried coloring Sean last week, and haven't finished it yet, so here ya go. Him in all his unfinished glory.

I was at Invadercon when I drew this (and actually purchased Carmine), hence the cruddy Zim doodle next to Sean. I almost wish I were back in the fanart thing, because I could actually draw Zim well back in the day.



Lastly, also drawn at Invadercon is Cassie Thomas' (ToUseBothSyllables, also deviantArt) Kila! I've been ridiculously interested in drawing Kila for awhile now, and actually got around to it at the con (because I bought prints, and prints equals REFERENCE! Wonderful, wonderful reference that I was too lazy to print up otherwise).

Anyway, Kila is a really fun character, and I want to do an actual good drawing of her. One day. Maybe it'll have color. Or not. She also vaguely reminds me of my character Raquel, or maybe it's just the way I drew her (the bottom left doodle anyway). Not that they're similar, or anything. Idk.



I get more excited drawing other people's characters these days.

I've been pretty unmotivated for anything, and school is the only thing keeping me drawing now (Invadercon was a fluke!). Hat Hair is on a sort-of hiatus. The school quarter just started, and I'm already anxious for summer. I miss Jersey.

I have this idea for a mini-comic but I'm not sure if I'll get to it. And I have two commissions to work on. Yeesh.

Love,
Pinky L.
