Studying a documentary I found of Pierce the Veil, drawing out the neat poses I saw.
This was Vic and his guitar.
And we're officially caught up on 2015!!

A little concept sketch for a mystery/puzzle themed project based on Innistrad and Zendikar.
Plus the extended edition hyper remix HD turbo ultra.

And a Merry Christmas it is--our little Wraith just got her wings.
Again the throat armor took inspiration from Algenpfleger's Solider token, but other than that, just hardcore riffin', especially on the bg. I chose to make the armor designs vaguely based on the letter M, for Markov.
I couldn't have this token fully colored for the SOI prerelease since I needed to pull this peculiarly rare token from one of my packs in the first place. Once I ripped one, I kept it BW for the event since I didn't want to present a half-colored, not-yet-ready-for-prime-time token, especially when the others were all fully colored up or BW themselves.

I decided to color our little experimental letter sketch, from when I randomly bought ice cream for everybody in the share house, all of whom I didn't know.
I used to do stuff like that in college all the time, just randomly leave people snacks and stuff because I'd often win contests in my residential college for free food at the student dive or I'd have spare grub stored up from Commons or the Law School.
I don't like talking to people, so I express my humanity and affection in nonverbal ways, typically through art but also frequently through gifts.
I like art.
I got to eat all that ice cream myself.

I found a draft of an old letter I wrote to my neighbors at my old place when I randomly decided to buy everyone ice cream.
I thought it would look funny to draw right over it because I used to be so precious with paper and stuff--never draw on lined paper, keep everything nice and neat, etc.--but meh, just cut to the chase!
I'm in a letter-writing mindset lately.

And then the base colors for our little wraith, as I've been calling her.
I had to call it a night when I was coloring this so I just roughed in the bg there, and hoped I would be able to remember what I was going for later on. We'll see how that goes soon enough.

Hum! Found the lines from ye olde Ichabod Fae piece.
I remember the shape of the overshirt was one of the funner parts, including those scarecrow-like frayed parts.

Another ad thingie I made, with the JP swapped out for some neato lyrics by TV on the Radio. Originally it was about a little viewing station you could watch old Pro Tours and stuff at.
And no, I'm not a Breaking Bad fan, I just like this song, and later found out it had some kind of BrBa tie-in.
I tried watching it, and it was so boring! I was like, this is what all the hype is about? It was like Hal sitting in a living room while a lady was talking incessantly or something and he was miserable having to listen to her(?)...I remember he had a briefcase or something that he was preoccupied with.
It was a while ago. Man, was it back in the US? I can't imagine I've had any opportunity to watch Western shows in JP...don't even have a TV.
Anyway, cards we used were--last call for guesses--as follows:
See Beyond
Propaganda
Evermind
Unblinking Bleb
Easy, wasn't it?

Studying Algen's soldier token's armor a bit for this Vampire Knight token.
I loved these guys at the SOI prerelease, but couldn't prep any before the event since this was a brand new token type!
Oh, I'd torn up some vampires from KTK, but only before realizing SOI's weren't 2/2s, and they didn't fly.
I ended up drawing this while waiting for day 2 to start.
Colors coming right up, just wait your wraiths.

This guy won a Pro Tour! But he's just another dude.
Dude, everybody is just another dude.
You? You're just another dude.
Me? I dunno.

Ah, man, one night on the train I saw two people just knocked out together on the train.
Melted my cold, unfeeling heart.
Or so my programmers tell me.
