VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: Last of the OLD CON SKETCHES folder?
🕑 Added 2021-04-16 14:00:08 +0000 UTCSpent half a g-d hour writing up an extensive commentary for this post, then lost it when I tried to schedule the g-d thing and my g-d DSL glitched out. (Serves me right for not copying the text before posting, of course.)
Will I have the patience to revisit said commentary before this post goes up on Friday? (I'm typing this on Wednesday morning, BTW.) Let's find out together!
UPDATE 1: Ehh, screw it. I strongly suspect that I've already posted at least a few of the pieces above, but don't have the energy for a lengthy commentary breakdown as I type this on Thursday morning.
UPDATE 2: Trying again on Friday morning. A few words:
Above, a sketch accompanying the eBaying of a sadly broken toy from my youth.
Next up, a commission of OC with a field-hockey stick, drawn without reference b/c I was up in Toronto with no cellphone service:
As most of my nieces played and/or coached field hockey, good thing none of 'em will ever see this image and give me crap about the wonky stick! Whew!
An OC commission from, I think, Motor City Comic-Con. Pretty good, in large part because it's partially a life drawing from photoreference. (Er, the torso, not the costume.)
The piece above was based on a 2013 (B&W) commission of an artist's OC, painted over quite nicely by said artist. (Strongly suspect I already posted this, but what the heck.)
Next up is a sketch I did for a friend's pitch for, IIRC, a multimedia project:
No idea as to the present status of said pitch, so let's just refer to it as "UNNAMED PROJECT," okay?
Finally, a set of 2016 shadow-focused studies from photoreference that were the precursor to my extensive life-drawing kick that began in earnest in December 2017:
No idea what this set was doing in a CON SKETCH folder, but what the heck.
Still have three or four pieces left in the OLD CON SKETCHES folder, but I need to check into old Patreon posts to figure out if I used 'em already. After this, I'll be moving on to posting scanned sketches hiding in my various Dirty Pair and Empowered folders.
UPDATE 3: As I did last month, I'm taking off the third week of April from Patreon art posting in order to A) restock my ever-dwindling buffer of posts; B) attempt to make some g-d progress on Empowered vol.12; and C) maybe get in an art-req sketch set or two.
Howeva, I'm very likely going to post a lil' something on the interactive, poll-based front over the week off; stay tuned, needless to say.
MONDAY AFTER NEXT ON THIS HERE PATREON: More life drawings, as usual!

Problem is—or was, as I sold it—that the carapace had somehow become warped, and wouldn’t stay on the Xenomorph’s head. Oh, well.

I have the exact same Alien figure. Don't worry, the skull cap is supposed to be detachable. Mine's missing an arm.

I feel that, I'd be rich now if I had taken better care of my toys from back in the day

All of these images look new to me. Re: un-named project... perhaps it was called "We Are Going to Hell in a Handbag" ??

Enjoy your break again!

Don't recognize any of these, so feel confident on that! I empathize with the Alien figure. I used to have enough original vintage Star Wars toys to have put my kids through college on, but I played with them all to death instead of squirreling them away for the future. Silver Wolf looks like she hangs out with Conan. By which I mean it looks like it could have been on the cover of one of the Conan books without being at all out of place. Very nice color job on that OC, and it blends perfectly into your inks. Looks cover-illo quality! The hair and overall body of the life drawing reminds me of Mindf**k, somehow.

Glad you're taking the week off. You'll be missed, but absence makes the heart grow blah blah blah. ;-)
