"Vyvyan Vyvyan Vyvyan!"

"...Honestly! Any time something blows up in this house, it's always blame Vyvyan!"

It was getting all too weekly (illustrationy) in here, so I'll post some Vyv sketches to break the monotony.




Yeah, you can't believe how much exactly I love The Young Ones.

I've been watching my DVDs over and over and racking my brain over which pose I want for the maquette. Out of impatience I might settle for this one (except for the face, please ignore the face)



...Because then I can make him hold different objects in his fist -- such as the knife in the above picture, or a cricket bat, or SPG (OBVIOUSLY I'm making a tiny, orange SPG doll as well! Wouldn't be right without him!)

Like I said I'm making a caricature, not a realistic maquette, but this face was just so awesome that I had to draw it.

WI: Your phobia


I was stumped when it came to explaining it in a single image, so I cheated a bit and did one more comic.

If you can't make out what my fear is (and I really don't blame you), it is being run over by an invisible car.

WI: Pervert (pretty wordy for an illustration...)

Watch out for a hefty file -- and don't look for anyone's likeness. You'd recognise these guys anyway without me knowing how to draw them.



Yeah, do you MIND, Emperor Pervertine?!

(A couple of WIP versions of this that I found fun:)

I shamelessly use kids! ...As a segue to one of my favourite SW-related quotes:

RABID STAR WARS FANS LIKE MYSELF
Ugh! This is the worst film in the series! These Ewoks! They’re so childish and ridiculous and cutesy!

GEORGE LUCAS
Uh.. folks.. these ARE children’s movies, you know.

RABID STAR WARS FANS LIKE MYSELF
Quiet! They are mature space sagas! Some of the greatest fantasy films ever made!

MARK HAMILL
I’d just like to mention that twenty minutes ago I had a deep conversation about the meaning of life with a green puppet.

--Rod Hilton (...whom I prefer to m15m, actually regardless of the fact his site predates it.)


(Sorry about that pretentious sentence above. :( Pretentia runs in my family.)

"Weekly Illustration": Computer nerd


(So it makes no sense at all. What exactly did you expect from me?)

A little layout



It's pretty cute, which is what I was going for. I don't set my sights too high at this point in my layout endeavours.
It's an igloo in a (rather Finnish-looking) winter forest, for a character that I'm trying to create.

I'm amused by inverted colours. :] God...

Independent troll ;)

I was supposed to be animating when I drew this. Good thing I didn't make like a new year's resolution about that or anything.



[Go see Valkyrie! Yeah!
Ok, so it has its few minor flaws. And sure, everybody knows the end result of the plot -- but it will still have you sweating the whole two hours. I could talk your ear off, ok? Just accept it's worth your while.]
