Act-together-gettening

So, for a while now I guess I have thought of myself as an aspiring illustrator, with some vague notion of someday becoming an actual illustrator. But that would require getting my act together and actually accomplishing things, something I am notoriously bad at.

Recently, however, Jonathan Woodward of the blog Zero2Illo also decided to work towards becoming a full-time illustrator and put together a 12-week challenge designed to help him achieve this goal. He also invited others to take part, and already there is an impressive number of talented people joining him.

It's a little intimidating, but I am hoping to follow along.

(Thanks to Mr. Woodward for organizing this!)

Happy Little Puffin

He really is.

Lizard with a Hand Grenade

Lizard with a hand grenade!

So easy...

...even a caveman could draw it.

Ahem. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, this is another drawing using Artrage, which I am slowly getting the hang of.

The Valhaltese Falcon

I think I heard that Viking Detectives was going to be the next zombies or vampires or vampires that were bitten by steampunk werewolves so they turn into zombie vampires or whatever, so I thought I'd jump on that bandwagon while I still had the chance.


(Update: Hi Illustration Friday! I figured this fit the week's theme of "detective" pretty well.)

Frog with umbrella

Here is a picture of a frog with an umbrella because hey, why not.

Hey there

Did you know I still have a blog? I don't blame you, I had kind of forgotten about it myself. But I am going to try and be better about posting more frequently. To start off, here is a little scribble I just did.
