A Birthday Card

This is the birthday card that I made for my friend Andrea. She loves rainbows, stars, and flowers. I have a book of charlie chaplain stills, and a few bags full of scraps, stickers and doo-dads. The little bar by our kitchen (I don't have a desk at home) is covered with paint, glue, tape, scraps, etc.
The main picture on this card is a combination of a picture of the Tramp and and an upside down photo of trees in the winter. Add some paint and stickers, and ta-da! I love it! I hope she likes it too.

Fanart is Not Dead

I just want you guys to know...this is totally relevant. And good cartooning practice. A lot of research and studies went into its production, and I had a whole lot of fun doing it.
Since you most likely won't recognize them (although since it's me, you can probably guess), they're the Power Rangers from this season. Yes, I am watching it.
p.s.--love you all! <3

which one!?

I ended up not abiding my own goal to keep today as a work free day, I was too excited about a new character that instead of going off of the previously shown Nun character I decided to just go ahead and do a ton of new silhouette sketches, and I picked 3 that I liked and refined them!

And I'm sure you're asking yourself now: "3 Silhouettes you say?! but there are FOUR Silhouettes in the image above!"

And to THAT I answer:

The 4th silhouette is a joke character, I just want to see if someone recognizes who it is, (my guess is Ricardo will laugh ones he realizes who the 4th character is) I don't think I will model character number 4 but if enough of you like her over the other three characters... I might consider it...

ANYWHO! Just tell me which one you think will create the most interesting character!

ANY suggestions are welcome

Just looking for some input since I'm away from school it's hard to get a good discussion started (that and It gives me something to entertain myself with...) but I'm going to try my darnedest!

Done! Yayayay!

steam-punk WIP 4

I'm just posting for progress, This is what I have done with my re-concepted furnace/boiler/generator... in my earlier "concept" I did wasn't sufficient... let alone interesting enough to follow through with... I really just rushed to build the thing without thinking too much about it... so I put a lot of research into it and now it's supposed to be a scavenged steam-engine modified to generate electricity.... A lot of the bits and pieces are missing (a lot of the parts that actually make it a 2-way valve system for instance) but this is the over-all look of the thing, all I need to do is add some magnets around the generator and all of the smaller parts of the 2-way valve system ... ya that's a long description... This isn't the whole scene because I haven't worked on the other parts recently, this is just for the engine.
