Was practicing drawing fabric the other day, and I couldn’t think of a more potentially schizophrenic use of different materials than a big floofy dress, so here’s Shift in her fancy clothes.
She’s got the moves like Molag Bal.
I’m not a huge A:TLA fan, but I was practicing drawing liquids and somehow the drawing turned into a lemur waterbender. >n>
“Rubber Maid’s got the ability to change the denseness of her bones. If you ask me, it’s the denseness of her head you gotta watch out for.”
It physically hurt me a little to draw this.
Inspired by the female superheroes regularly featured on Escher Girls. After seeing all the horrible anatomy that goes into comic books and somehow manages to get published time and again, I had to make at least one character that was a parody of the whole “show the sexy” schtick.
Her nemesis is The Chiropractor.
Also check out Escher Girls if you need a good larf at the expense of comic book illustrators that don’t seem to know how womens’ bodies work.
“Name’s Oil. Oil Slick. This is my town – not a very good one, but I lost the receipt, so I’m stuck with it.”
Nicholas “Oil” Slick, Cat’s character in our project (which has been nicknamed Project Gumshoe for future reference). I couldn’t fit any info on the picture due to space constraints, so here’s the skinny —
-
His special ability is narrating the comic and introducing characters through internal dialogue.
-
Doesn’t realize that everyone can hear said internal dialogue.
- Pretty much embodies the word “gumshoe.”
- Has been known to punch people who call him “Nick Slick”.
- Partners-in-crime-solving with Ace Parkingjob.
I’ve recently taken up knitting. This is about how long I estimate my scarf will be after I’m done with it.
To continue along the vein of female trolls hugging things, here’s little Terezi and Pyralspite.
Squeak!
“That’s my partner, Ace. She once fit a limousine into a compact parking space. Hurt the eye to look at it.”
Avril “Ace” Parkingjob again, this time in her original context: a detective!
My bro, Cat, and I are currently working on a project that might eventually be a webcomic, but probably not considering our record for actually working on projects.
It’s set in a modern-era detective agency in a world filled with wannabe superheroes. Ace and Cat’s character, Nicholas “Oil” Slick, don’t go one day without investigating some superpower-induced accident or in more interesting cases, murder most foul.
As well as the information on the picture itself, I’ve got a couple more that I couldn’t fit in there —
-
She was once kicked out of New York for stealing all the air conditioners in Chinatown and stacking them up in an alley. This is how she got her nickname, “Ace.”
-
Her special ability is being able to fit things in spaces they physically shouldn’t be able to.
-
Her record for card houses is 37 tiers. It is rumored that she actually killed a man for knocking over one of her card houses just as she was about to break that record.
- Partners with Oil Slick, a mysterious fellow that likes to narrate his actions.
-
Owns a cat named Pidge (short for Pigeon) that can alter its own mass at will. This makes dragging Pidge off the furniture a problem because she suddenly weighs 2 tons if picked up. Nicknamed “Couchbane” by Oil Slick, several of the agency’s couches have fallen prey to this horrid feline.
EDIT: Decided to color the picture because the blue gradient over the thing looked dumb.
More Skipjack! I’ve been drawing way too much of this lemur lately.
Uhhh I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I have no idea how to draw a crossbow. I’ll fix that before I have to draw them in the comic, really. >n>
Fun fact: a person who uses a crossbow is called an Arbalist. The things you learn while browsing the internet after midnight!
