After a Bath

Avert your eyes if artistic nude bothers you.

So this is Abby (Gail) again. I was failing miserably at drawing just a headshot with a happy face, got a little frustrated, left, and did this instead.
Sweet!

(Before you think I'm in any way pro: this awesome thing was a big ref. REF, though. Not traced or anything! So that's still cool)

Abigail lost her legs in an accident when she was about seven, and has since built herself two pairs of mechanical prosthetics. But, wearing them causes a fair amount of constant pain, so whenever she can take them off, she does. And while they are water resistant/proof, it's just better to keep them away from the bath.

Time: About 2 hours

Medium: #2 0.7 Mechanical Pencil on sketchbook paper

Gail and Mathios

From the Vast Struggle story:

The girl is Gail (I think she's listed as Abby on my blog) and Mathios. SO PLEASED WITH HOW GAIL TURNED OUT <3 Mathios is tolerable, but I see the flaws.

GLaDOS

In honor of Portal 2's release:

This is a Human form Glados, as I imagine her. Actually, a lot of the imagination is in the face, but I can't draw faces.

But you get the point!
The 4 cores go as such:
Cakemix right, Morality left, Curiosity neck, Anger centre.
I combined the concept with a turret-esque base, with trailing clothing to act as wires. All joining parts would be colored red like turret eyes. The trailing cloth on her arms is connected by a bracelet of tiny companion cubes. There should be lines on her arms as well for symmetry.
Please, if you like Portal, I would love to see this design better with other modifications!
Also, with eyes XD

Abigail (VS)

I wish I could say this was a quick thing. But it took like, two hours.
And I realize this really could be either Gail, but the toolbelt makes it more VS Gail. Plus, that's who I had in mind while drawing.

Base from link. I'm definitely not that good at hands rofl.
Ugh I hate eyes...

The Gray Family

Oh my god so terrible.
Really, only Sypher (far right) wears sunglasses (cause he's blind), but I couldn't draw eyes for the life of me today, so they all get sunglasses.

Everything done on Paintshop Pro with tablet.
Please, draw them better <3
Aaaaaaaah everything is so bad rofl. BUT THAT'S OKAY. I'll do it better later.
Left to right: Bandit, Ryder, Sypher.
PS: Any suggestions on how to draw Metal magic? Doesn't lend itself well to that kind of form like fire or water does.

Morty and his Team

For Radio:

Morty and his rematch team (+ Drifloon!) from HG/SS.

For a while know, I've been on a self-improvement rampage. I'm trying to be less stressed out and freak out less (at myself and other people). Perhaps, in the summertime, I will get off my lazy ass and exercise just a bit!
Psh. Well, maybe.
But a major part of my life I'm deeming to change is my attitude towards my art. Now, I try very hard not to be the 'everything I put out sucks' whiner. It's not true: most of my dragons turn out excellent, which helps with the confidence boost. But people...well. I've been practicing fairly regularly for 6 years and showed that I'm generally getting worse somehow at structure, proportions, and just everything. I pull out stuff from '03 and it's better than something I've spent hours on in the past year.

So, here's to trying! I'm requesting anyone and everyone who reads this and wants to help me out give me any sketches/structures (like the circles you do before anatomy and the rough outlines) of any past works they still have. Any style is fine, though I want to cartoonify a bit more. Architecture, animals, anime, nature, any unfinished WIPs. Seriously. I need all the resource material I can get my hands on. With the help of very supportive friends willing to meet with me to coach, and majorly Bechnokid's inspiring style and livestreams that show step by step how to be amazing, I've already improved noticeably in my opinion. It could just be a good spell, but you know, I'll take what I can get!

Secondly, it's hard to practice when you don't know what to draw. OR WRITE: I'm very confident in my writing style, but I have nothing to write about. I've exhausted my creative challenge game and can't focus on anything long term right now for lack of arc structure. But practice is good, and working with foreign ideas will also help my versatility.

So a call to anyone who reads this, even in passing, CAPSLOCK FOR EMPHASIS:

PLEASE:
SEND ME SKETCHES AND ANATOMY;
SEND ME DRAWING IDEAS;
and SEND ME WRITING IDEAS!

Aaaaanything. Really. Nothing, NOTHING, is off limits, but realize I'm not great.

Thanks for anyone who reads this,

M."R.T."C.

Also want tradeback legendaries like Kyogre, Darkrai, Deoxys for data. You'll get em right back! (even an Entei I have the other two)
I have lots in return!
I'm also a big time battler, so feel free to challenge! I run legal hacks (3 max Ivs, the rest hovering in the 20's).
