Adding some G-Pen inks to our punky pumpkin munchkin.
Thing with the G-Pen is you don't want to waste ink, so any extra invariably ends up in rando designs in the background or wutev.

Wanted to draw something vaguely horror-based for Inktober '15.

Taking a break from strolling down memory lane to whip out one of my very first paint-marker alters, complete with 5 cent ivy.
Can you guess the card? I'll give you a hint.
Too hard, huh? Didn't win? Admit it.

Ah! From the old file--long lost, unaired ZLMs! There they are! Just like that!

Ah, man, the old file had this old folded up envelope inside! Wonder what could be inside this!

Quick peak into the file I found with some classic jamz.

Wowwwww just found this old file with a ton of old art I did from the early days in Japan, man.
Wonder what could be inside...

Moleskine live-ink drawing at Immigration. Awful.

Pizzagyaru. Please come and save the day.
Pizzagyaru. Just let my pizza stay.

It's Pizzagyaru, the hero pizza needs and deserves. But she's too busy for all that...
...nonsense.

One of my very first paint-marker card alters. Not tournament legal, aww yeahhh.

Realized I haven't been posting Moleskine sketches--last one was posted in 2012?!.,;
Anyway, here's Zero and Nyao from my trip to the Japanese DMV.
She was always supposed to be more alien in her outfits for obvious reasons, while he inexplicably has all this custom clothing, despite apparently not having much money, though we never really got into that, actually.

Testing Didi and pencils on actual comic paper. Like butter.

Drew this for Inktober '15. I like the idea of a hero rendered tiny yet powerful by some huge giant threat.
I love the feeling of the hero vs. the world.
Doth it pass?

Sketching during Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar, I believe. It was Inktober '15.

Leafing through some old files and found the pencils to Mad Hilda.

And our Eldrazi Scion is complete.
I drew him just riffing off of the tear I made in the token.
Coloring was just a matter of making sure chunko here stands out over the heap of visual variety.

Next on the docket is a full-color Eldrazi Scion.
Oddly sentimental about this shot of color getting in his belly.

And Elfie is now complete.
This is a torn alter, which means we tore the paper right off the token and then went to it with ballpoints and Copics. The costuming is a nod to Deedlet from Lodoss, dudelette.

Elfie beegee.

A piece for Inktober '14, G-Pen boot camp. I really wanted to cut loose with the costuming, but then didn't take enough care with the posing.
I've been trying to draw those shorts for years, and we're kinda getting there.
Overall, vaguely inspired by Misty from Pokemon, of course.

Lines from an old piece for Inktober '14.

Another little splash pitch. The idea is Sundoof is hanging with a Jeskai-ish monk monkey, but not really taking it seriously or getting easily distracted or whatevz.

Here's the gussied-up version of our ink-bleeding experiment. I can see this working great for skin, like how soft the collar bone area came out.
Starting to get the hang of brushing in the white-out, too, so doubly not a loss here.

Here is a fateful experiment to see how inks interact with Copics. This brand, while great for its delicate four-color ability, melts out like watercolor pencils under Copics. Possibly usable, since we can then draw fresh "strict" lines on top of "melted" lines for neat effects, but kinda too risky to use on a real piece at the moment.

So this is our Eldrazi Scion torn alter token. I wanted to go with something loosey-goosey since I was testing out my fudepens with Copics.
This handled cakes of Copics just famously, so I'd say it's a pretty reliable ink going forward.
