Flashbacks

Still awake but my wrist hurt less so I drew while I could. Don’t remember much about the show, but I do remember the episode where he had the evil twin who loved everything opposite of him, especially drinking orange juice after brushing his teeth. I also loved the original game too!

This is what my quick sketch looked liked before I went in with super lazy shading.

About 20 minutes total?

One of my favorite things about an artists portfolio is looking at their gesture and warm up sketches. I don’t post these to brag and sound like “oo just a quick sketch” but I genuinely enjoy the energy of them and most of the time think they look better and more dynamic before I ruined them with the final version ha. Just wanted that out there as to why I post sketches of sketches. 

Contemplation

A sad Serge from Chrono Cross, my favorite video game. Chrono Trigger is also amazing and truthfully a better game, but the love I have for the story, characters and the fighting system will forever make Chrono Cross #1 in my heart.

Seriously though, Serge had a good, happy life until his universe glitched and he was suddenly erased from everything.

Remembering when his life was easy.

Number Five

The Umbrella Corp wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. A few actors kept me watching. The kid playing Five was great, Klaus is awesome in every scene, and Mary J. Blige is just fab to me. Here’s a sketch of one of my favorite scenes that I started, but quickly lost steam for finishing.

To be fair, everybody in the show was angry and scowling.

Those margs looked neon

Finished Li

Got around to finishing it and overall I’m pretty proud for a rather quick painting. He actually looks somewhat juvenile, but I don’t think 10 heh. At some point I’ll add a background and touch up the colors where they don’t line up and when I do I’ll just swap old with new. I always forget how much I love using pen nibs and ink, until it splatters or it’s not flowing right. Speedball super black India ink the best; Higgins is too watered down and always seems too grey.

Onto the next thing.

I took a guess when first painting the sword

Syaoran Li 2

Here’s where I stopped last night. Not too shabby. Unfortunately today drawing hand is totally so swollen I can feel my heartbeat through it with it hanging at my side, and I’m in extreme pain from that. I had hoped to finish tonight, but we’ll see if/when the pain meds kick in.

 

I have a type if you couldn’t tell. I love me a surly, curmudgeon character.

Not too shabby

Syaoran Li

I’ve been in a lot of pain lately; my wrists and fingers hurting so badly I cant even pull covers over myself without crying out in pain, and the weight of even a sheet making them throb. Drawing hasn’t really been an option lately, but I wanted to paint and wanted to do something pretty simple. In case it takes forever to finish here is my start. I made such a cute sketch, then had to erase it all to start painting…ORZ

These were all done sometime from August to December 2018 More or less in order of what I think I drew first to the end of the year. I’ll tag what I can.
