Fun_JelloKnight

I want to be able to draw a character with that jello armor stuff, but it never really comes out right.

Fun_TwereWolfUnlimited

And the last couple of Tokyo Werewolf sketches from the I wanna say 2013? session.

I don't really get how turntables work. But this I can get behind.

Looks like I skipped a week, so posting the progress for one of my first fudepen pieces, loosely inspired by Avatar characters, I'd say. Trying and failing, yet ever falling for, that Eric Canete monochromatic Copic look.

Hey! That used to be my backyard in Tokyo.

Making up for accidentally skipping this week with the Copics to one of my very first Fudepen efforts, not live-inked, though. You can still see some pencils underneath.

Fun_Channel_L

Ah. I musta skipped the week of April 20, 2015. Making up for it with some old inks.

Vaguely inspired by Korra or Katara here, pretty sure.

This was one of my first fudepen pieces!

Hare_KuniConcepts

A trio of concepts we didn't use for the Kuniyoshi piece.

I really liked the kinda stereotypical shonen anime arrangement on the left. It was to have Mario Bros.-style clouds, even.

The middle was neat, but it would have been grueling to get everything lined up perfectly, so I'm actually happy they didn't go with that one!

The last one was just pure goofy shonen; made so many sketches for this, just wanted to mess around.

Fun_TwereWolfBeta

While we're posting old Tokyo Werewolf sketches, inspired by Chopper, obviously, how about some of my favorite DJ clips?

One of the best clips ever is Welcome to the Show by J Dilla. There's a bittersweet backstory behind this, the ironically titled final track of the final work of the late luminary, as I later found out.

Fun_TwereWolfAlpha

Another oldie from the sketchbook, did some sketches for my old classmate, nicknamed the Tokyo Werewolf. He's really into music, DJs even, so I drew some werewolves (I presume) doing DJ-like things. I also don't really draw "cute" things too much, so thought it'd be a good chance to give it a go.

This is that famous "crate digging" thing I've heard so much about.
Say, want to cry a little? Check out this J Dilla mini-doc, especially here. Oh, man.

Fun_PartyInTheUSJ

Pretty sure they weren't at USJ when this happened, but it just sounds funnier, ok?

Anyway, there's a personality in Japan named Ike who's from the US who snapped a neat photo during a meeting, and I thought I'd try the fudepen on a "live ink" portrait, no pencils, in my little pocket sketchbook.

International people in Japan are fascinating...it's somewhat complicated the longer you stay here. Tourists don't see all of Japan. You have to live here for a bit to really get it. To see it. To feel it. I hope he's happy. I hope they aren't forcing him to do anything he doesn't want to. I dunno.

Party.

Fun_ChikaSmiles

My gosh, can't believe I've never posted this.

Flipping through my old sketchbook, spotted a model of Chika, the hero from HonPonBon, the first comic I wrote in Japan.

Miffed to see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu do the giant toothbrush shtick later on...

Hare_Sunshine_Ponder

One of the rejected sketches for Sunshine.

I liked it. Contemplative. Quiet. Slightly intimidating.

Fun_StayCool

Picture me, like, "Keep cool, kid,"

"Stay straight a stray spool, Sid,"

"Eat full, up and down watch me pool-skid."

Diary of a mad Balkan Veemon,

It's all free, mon,

Pass it, pwn the left hand side, tool lid.

Just grab a maru pen and ad lib,

And ad rock, etcetera,

Just don't forget to rule, kid.

Fun_TonkaToka

It always bums me out when artists post "boring" stuff...like cars.

Like, who cares?

Woo, it's bouncing off the ground as if that gives it any life.

But that Fudepen Black can handle straight lines and improvised details quite well.

So there's that.

Also, Tonka is a truck company, right?

Who cares.

Fools.
