Sketchy Sketch 15

This time I didn't bother to adjust the color of the scans. I've decided the paper and ink color look fine as is.

I was on a long weekend and this is what I did instead of socialising. I made up some buildings that were inspired by some minecraft buildings I made, which were inspired by Byzantine architecture images I researched (looked at on google images)months ago.

The second image is the tired joke about a big frame on a tiny image. I draw images like this with the same joke sometimes because I find it endlessly funny but can see how it is unbearable to others.

Also, screw minimalism and screw Hanna Barbera aesthetics. They suck. Why does my generation love it so much? Anyhow. Soldier on.

Cat Luthier (or Cathier)

This is a painting I did by request. It's a cat luthier with lots of different (mostly) string instruments hanging up. This cat is painted hopefully to look like their cat. See if you can guess all of the types of instruments!

This is the next image of the book. I'm not sure if my paintings hold up by themselves without a fancy border. Maybe I should branch out from my standard style. I'll try it for the next book. This time I'll keep at it. I like having thin black lines for my illustrations, even though I know solid Chuck-Jones flat tones are popular now. I'll soldier on and maybe my type of illustration will come to fashion.

I was on an airplane again.

A new book has been started! This time I'm painting them two pages with the same face. So you're looking at two separate pages left and right.

East of the Bear West of the Girl (Softcover)

So my book is available to purchase. It's very expensive because it is print on demand. I set the profit margin for me to only 3 usd minus fees because the books are expensive enough. The shipping fees are crazy too. But it represents a starting point in a journey.

Inky-Ink 1

I'm testing out brushed ink on Asian paper. It came in a book form so I haven't really mounted the paper on a surface to prevent wrinkling. So they are wrinkly.

More Sketches while I was travelling. The second image is a detail from the first image. The third image is some planning for an upcoming book.
