Winters in Saskatchewan (part 1)

For those of you unfamiliar with driving in Saskatchewan, in summer the roads tend to be riddled with sneaky pot holes waiting to take a bite out of your tires and sometimes the car itself. In winter they fill up with snow (because they don't all get fixed in the summer) and can have a different effect, as I realised when I hit some ice (again, Boo roads. Boooooo) and managed to regain some friction after hitting a snow covered pot hole. 'Course they can still be very evil and sneaky if they melt and fill up with ice, or it only stops the one tire and the rest of your car goes spinning. That could also suck, but I personally haven't' encountered such pot holes and I really really really reaalllllly hope I never do.

So, upon cleaning out my shelving unit that currently holds my loose paper drawings, I found a WHOLE bunch of drawings from high school, University and even some elementary school stuff. I chucked a whole bunch, and saved a couple if they had a great deal of value to me. Some of them I kept to re-draw. Here is one such example. Or.. two such examples.

Then (high school) these were designs for my friends 'super hero' characters

Now 2012. I think there has been some improvement.

She has the relaxed thing down to an art.

Yep, when Olie sleeps she's either a mass of ooze that is taking full advantage of what gravity has to offer, or she is sleeping on her back with her legs sticking up in the air. Once you call her though, she pulls herself together to go properly nuts about whatever.

Tabatha Dragonclaw

So, I had second thoughts of posting this up on the Blog. I was really happy with how the pencil drawing and the colored drawing turned out, I was just hesitant of sharing this character to the world. She is a small part of an on-going story i've had running though my head since early childhood. Although this particular character has not really developed a specific story unlike the rest of her family. I have, however, always had a specific idea of her mannerism, design and her limits and strengths. But her story hasn't really been developed. Usually I don't draw her this serious looking either, so it was fun to do, I also tweaked her usual hair style as well. I blame anime.

John's Squid Dragon

So here is John's Squid Dragon. He had a dream about this dragon and asked me to draw it for him.

Good Boy Rufus.

Rufus was awesome like that. As he got older, his eyes began to cross and he would pant a lot. At one point my sisters taught him to go sit by Erin when they said "Rufus, go find your girlfriend."  And he would trot on over to Erin, sit down and stare at her cross eyed and drooling. He was pretty awesome.

As a kid, I really liked the Luck Dragon from Neverending Story, I even had one of those Wrinkies dog puppets and named him Dragondoggy. So here is my drawing of a DragonDoggy. Quite a bit inspired by how my own dog often sleeps.
