pencil drawing/mixed media

In response to the sensory overload brought on by the imagery depicting a favorite fantasy of mine, I defer to the power of the non-verbal smiley.

Wow those are sooo cool!
You're very talented.

Whoa, it's spooky in here with all the broken links. My website was taken down many, many moons ago, along with my graphics files. I draw primarily, but also collect toys. Here are some custom toys pics I saved or recently uploaded to Photobucket.

My 12" action figures - Sideshow Toys used to have the 12" action figure license for Buffy and Angel. Think Barbie-sized. Unfortunately, their Willow from Dopplegangland was horrible - no likeness to Alyson Hannigan. What's worse, they never made a Tara figure. So, I sculpted my own. Right now I am putting together some complete figures with outfits. But for now, here are the heads:







I am also a huge fan of LEGO, have been since I was a kid. Here are the couple in ABS:





I have the drawings somewhere in my computer, still. I'll see if I can find them and repost some.

I have to admit, even though dolls tend to creep me out a bit, that this is really, really awesome. I would love to see the other stuff you posted here, since I could only read the reviews and am really curious now. I wanna see them tooooo!

[binky]

Thank you kindly.

Most of the other stuff were drawings. Unfortunately, I really didn't do a good job keeping copies of the web-edited versions. I found some of the masters that came from my comic/graphic short story, but will need to resize 'em. Here are a few quickies:







That last one is the cd I actually found the masters on. Wow, brings back memories...

Hi Binky!
I have trying to fix up the Kitten and restore lost content. You were on my list to track down but you beat me to it!
Please post all you can. I have trolled deviant art looking for some lost kittens

[Legolise]

Wow, that's really very great. I especially like the first one, the colours really stand out against the mostly whiteness of the skin. And the hair's texture is really well done, it's hard to describe, but when I look at it, it constantly swings back and forth from looking real to looking sort of comic style. I hope that you get what I mean...

Anyway, I really like your style so far and hope to see more soon!

Ugh. I absolutely hate how DeviantArt is set up. So effin hard to use.

These are trials for inking/coloring, so yeah, they are just different versions of the same image. The little formal technical "training" I had was in a couple years of art making courses in university several (several) years ago, i.e., when you used paper, canvas, pencil, ink, and paint. I am just not wired for computer art, I think. So about 70% of this is still by hand, and strictly by what "looks good" or "feels right" to me aesthetically. Kind of like how I write, too, though I've had a hella lot more technical/classical training in writing.

Anyway, I am in the process of re-doing my long-lost graphic short story/comic. It's a bit slow going, but should start posting sometime in May. If you are a "real" inker/colorist and would be interested in collaborating, hit me up! I would love to give a team project a shot, and it would save me from the most tedious part of this (I am really just a penciller at heart).

Those are really amazing! Well done!

[binky]

Thank you, Laragh! That means a lot coming from one of my favorite writers. :-)
