I indeed actually progressed on that doodle!!
The same image from my post a couple hours ago — now with a few inked lines and an outfit added. The same image as the one before: now with some inked lines.

Brewery doodle which happens to be a legitimate WIP that I’ll be doing over the next couple days maybe.
#art #myart #WIPWednesdayonMonday #wip
A sketch of a long-legged and long-haired woman. The lines are messy, but a few elements re: body type and proportion are visible. The tip of a graphite pencil pokes up into the bottom of the frame.

A vampire that looks vaguely like David Bowie. He has a pet barn owl on his shoulder. Three beetles cling onto each other and onto a plant stalk.

Brewery doodles:
I might do this one digitally later — my wife tells me it could make a killer tattoo design.

#doodles #myart #sketches #coffee
A sketch of a topless woman from the chin down to her mid-torso. A coffee bean breaches her chest, the cracks forming something vaguely shaped (minus the elemental symbols) like a caffeine molecule. The background has abstract patterns behind a cocoa plant fern.

Brewery Doodles

Gonna stop numbering these.
#art #myart #doodles
A sketch of a stack of discs or pucks of various diameters. The fourth pick down has a pair of bloodshot eyes, one of which lazily swivels up. The first through fifth picks have EKG patterns for a stroke, a heart attack, tetrichardia, and anxiety respectively. The seventh puck has ‘Hanoi no To’ written in alleged Japanese — for which the eighth puck has a disclaimer: “Google AI . . . trust token value = (null)”

New avatar dropped.
A cartoony sea bass sits abreast a two-dimensional Cintiq tablet. It wears a bishop-like hat bearing an ichthys fish with stick figure legs.

Brewery doodles 2/???
A sketchpad with an impressionistic ballpoint sketch of a woman. She’s reaching her hand high, while her body is tree rootesque.

Brewery doodles pt. 1/??
A photo of a ballpoint pen sketch — the subject of which is a gorilla head in the center of an Amarillo Flower, titled ‘Amarilla…Gorilla!’ The sketchpad sits next to half-full glass of beer. As the sketch is a reference to a name of a beer, the sketch helpfully has a caption reading ‘This is not Amarilla Gorilla, but Smog Czech.’

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

… I’m thankful it’s someone who lives kind of in an AM world instead of an FM world*

*Pantheon is actually kind of an FM world.
Maddie from AMC’s Pantheon Id’ve included a shot of her and Caspian but it’s surprisingly hard to find a screencap of them both that doesn’t have spoilers.

“What charcoal does to a mf’er.”

Charcoal on Paper, balsa wood(?) + kneaded eraser + photography, 2025
The artists holds a piece of blackened kneaded eraser in his left hand. A work in progress of a hooded, robed woman is in front of him. The whole right side is bathed in compressed charcoal.

Merry Christmas everyone!

An intern escaped a scuffle while carrying an order of at least three caffeinated beverages (one a frappe of some sort, one coffee proper, and one with a teabag string ranging from it. She’s on the phone with a coworker and her boss… “Omfg SOME people! AMR” “Just bruised. Got coffee.” “GJ. M Did you remember … George’s order…? Caramel Frappe?”

So technically these two aren't a WIP for WIP-Wednesday-on-Thursday, but...
Office Siren Assassins series 2/6
I wasn't happy with the lighting situation with the first one, but slightly less happy with the composition of the second.

A secretary poses on top of her desk. Her computer has an email window open. An M24 sits propped up against a series of closed filing cabinets. Her PC comes is a Hewlet-Packard, except the logo reads 'FU' The same secretary sits on the opposite side of her desk. Two posters in the background are propped on the back wall. The text on the poster on the left reads 'Always Lookin' Out For You, ~Sugar~[sic]' with a note from her boss -- 'As long as you keep meeting quota. ... PS: this poster stays in the office.' The poster on the right depicts a nonplussed cat of indeterminant breeding hanging from a dying treebranch. It has the text: "Hand in there, Pussycat [heart]"

A work in progress piece: an office worker in a pinup pose and holding an M24 high, rolls on a flimsy office chair. As this is a work in progress, all these layers are in multicolor brushes.

A figure rendered entirely in monochrome - Blue - sits on a table. She has a glock drawn in a stunning lack of gun safety. The office lady from the last picture draws a katana. Her whole office is on fire. Oh my god it's all on fire!!

"make sure your lines are clean all the time."

Nah I'm feral for my sketching layers I'm gonna spend like six layers alone in the technicolor puke of sketching from Rough-Composition-Construction-Anatomy-Outfit-Background-Maybe BEFORE cleaning up.

My WIPS folder is probably very large for a reason
WIP sketch of a character in purple lines -- she has her hair done up in a bun, a grimace on her face. She draws a sword of indeterminate (currently) shape from its scabbard, her left hand off-frame. The signs of maybe having to tilt the whole drawing a degree or two counterclockwise are rampant.

A Uquiz result about which Ao3 Tag sums up the user’s personality. This one says ‘fix-it: you don’t have have time for this ‘making your barbies kiss’ bullshit; the world is fucked, and you’re here to do something about it! (the thing you’re doing about is making your barbies kiss)
