Warning: Big Pic. I usually bring things down in size a bit before posting, but because I’m sort of showing off a new program I thought I’d toss it up as is. Plus I want y’all to be able to make out what’s in it and shrinking it to 500-600 px probably wouldn’t do the trick.

Productive day today, in spite of some really annoying lingering pain in my arm. To cap it off, I decided to try out a free drawing program, MyPaint. It was mentioned by Sycra in one of his Youtube videos and I was pretty satisfied with how it handles sketching and doodling, though I like the coloring tools a bit less. So if anyone wants to try it out, you can get it from here.

2015-03-24a 2015-03-24b 2015-03-24cHave I ever mentioned how much I love drawing in sharpie markers? I like to practice with them since there’s no guidelines, erasing, or even really build-up of tones. It’s just INK or NOT INK, and I feel like it kind of forces me to think a little more before I commit to a stroke, and when I do it’s so smooth and slidey and mmmm…

no this has nothing to do with the fumes seriously

Gatty, Beretta, “Speed”, Derringer and Daisy, along with some more details of the thing on Gatty’s arm. The upper ipod looking thing is kind of a combination health monitor and communicator usually hidden up the sleeve, and the lower gauntlet portion contains a drum-style container for vials of spare blood, along with a memory alloy plate to protect the thing or be shaped easily into different stuff. I need to mess with more technical drawing to really nail this kind of stuff, but the idea is two half-circle clips connect around the forearm and are rotated/chambered by the gauntlet for use. (Since her powers use her blood as a medium it becomes quickly apparent that jabbing a knife into herself isn’t a very practical way to win a longer battle.)

Also, been toying with a logo. I like the basic idea of the ‘magic’ star being there and split off for both the A and D. Not really married to a particular type style just yet.

Anyway, these are just warm-up sketches. I think I’m going to either mess with comic stuff or begin a Slayers Sunday drawing since that’s a thing now.
