Description Another big sketchdump D: This time not OCs, but random people and fan art sketches Again, the time between them is 3/4 year at most, with the first ones made in April and the latest made a couple of days ago. Scans come from two sketchbooks: the yellow one I use for my character drawings and random people, and the white one, which is mostly for fan art and experiments, hence the different colours. I put some numbers in it to make this description a bit easier, so here goes:

1. A lot of random people whom I did not (usually) reference or base off of an existing person/character. A couple of girls/women with knots and ponytails, an old lady, a kid with a cap and an attempt to draw an exaggerated expression... Not sure if I like it much xD Many of the random grey-ish faces were drawn while in the car or train, public transport often gives me time to think and draw and I develop a steady hand while doing so
2. A girl grooming Maloki (remember this plushie? [link] )
3. Oh, it seems I forgot some Sibiricas in my previous dump, ah well, these are pretty old. Disgusted/surprised, neutral and full-body Sibi sketches.
4. These are the oldest of the bunch: some Hunger Games fanart: three times Katniss and one Rue (the way I imagined them while reading the books). I can tell I improved since then, but they look good enough to be posted
5. Supernatural doodles! Left to right: Gabriel/the Trickster, Castiel, Dean and Castiel again. I had drawn Sam too, but it looks ugly so I did not include him, sorry Sam! I like the way the rightmost Castiel came out. All of them were referenced from screenshots and the first three were speed-portraits of no more than 10 minutes each. I took more time for the other Castiel
6. Fullmetal Alchemist fanart! Inevitable of course, since I have now watched both animes and am reading the manga I just had to doodle some of them. All of them were drawn from memory as they are all travel-doodles, and it shows on some xD So, left to right: Lust, Envy (I really really like this one xD ), another Envy (I gave him/her dreadlocks 'cause I really don't know what else to make of his/her (?) hair haha, such a weird character but I really do like him), Ling Yao (who doesn't look too much like the real one, hmm), then under Lust is Edward Elric and the first Greed.
7. More fanart, haha, this time of a childhood book I dearly love and recently read again after so many years. It's called 'Dragonrider' in English and is written by Cornelia Funke. That book, along with the Harry Potter series and the Inkheart trilogy (also by Funke) was my favourite and I read these books over and over again: I didn't own many books back then, but I read an awful lot haha! Anyway, these are two human(oid) characters from that book: the boy is called Thomas (though the English translation seems to have changed his name into 'Ben'? Dunno why) and the other guy is Twigleg and he is a homunculus, though very different from the FMA ones. Basically a tiny human created with alchemy and a very nervous guy, he was always my favourite.

Those sin-named characters and little Twigleg are homunculi, which explains the title, haha, there were enough of them to put it in xD

Well, that's about it as far as human drawings go, it's become very clear to me that I should draw more full-body poses 'cause about 90% are portraits I'm just bad at making up poses, faces are less hard

Dreadlocks are cool I really love the first Greed, his smile was so awesome when he saw Lust. You did all of them justice! Totally awesome scetches.

And I really like your characters up there, they're awesome ^^ Your style shows through, it's soft and natural, works very well with animals and humans too.

They are, though they confuse me too, how do they work? xD It was the only way to make sense of that hair xD Ah yes me too! I was so sad he got such little time, and then what they did to him... *shudders* I was shocked when I saw that first time. Thanks a lot! I had no references at hand when I drew them so it's more of a free interpretation, I always like to imagine what characters would look like in real life or my style! It's what makes fan art so much fun.

Thank you Soft and natural, I like that

I see Envy has indeed strange hair so the dreadlocks make the most sense.
Poor guy, I liked him.

You're welcome! I agree and you're welcome again!

Haha indeed, just like I was confused about whether Envy was a guy or a girl, I personally though he was pretty girly (and had a female voice in the anime) but everyone referred to him as "he", so, okay then xD
Yeah, some of the deaths in the series are pretty gruesome, and as I myself get really scared of burning things and big fires and stuff, some parts were not okay for me D: Haha, but the guy was nice, not too clever, but pretty cool nonetheless. This part made me laugh: [link] they kidnap Al and threaten to take him apart if he doesn't speak, but when they think he implies Ed is dead, Greed is suddenly afraid he was being rude riiiight.

Duzloo In reply to Avanii [2012-11-22 16:26:07 +0000 UTC]

Oh god that part I always love the parts where Al always looks like this --> 3:
Envy was always a "he" for me because I haven't really dug into the anime yet ^^ I just know the online manga.

That's another reason why I got addicted to the series, you have funny parts and very serious parts, I think I already mentioned that some time earlier ^^

Haha yes I love the expressions, it really shows their personalities well (I think the art for this series was good in general, very enjoyable) Haven't regretted buying the manga at all! I see, that makes sense, I got confused at first in the anime because of his voice and the clothes too (and in the first scene I thought he had small breasts haha, which didn't turn out to be true xD ). It was the only character I got confused over though, so that's good. Unlike some other manga/anime that I've seen (I do not want to insult anyone who likes this, but apparently, these are all guys [link] and the anime is even worse with that, I laughed really hard about this guy [link] 0:16 and 0:44 seconds xD I mean how is that a guy? ).

Yup! That's what I love about it too! And the dry humour that sometimes pops up, I love dry humour xD

I'm glad you enjoy your manga

Bwahaha, oh damn, it's all about the eyes

Did you know there's an internet meme going around with that page here: [link] ?
It's a manga called Devilman which came out in 1972, so it's pretty old but still very loveable.
Anyways, people are redrawing that page.

I got reminded of this page because Ryo who is being dramatic here reveals later as a hermaphrodite... and as the fallen angel, Satan. [link] Another weird story

Avanii In reply to Duzloo [2012-11-24 09:34:37 +0000 UTC]

Haha no I didn't know? I must admit I've never seen that page before, why is everyone redrawing it? xD Oh, sounds... interesting?

Duzloo In reply to Avanii [2012-11-24 09:53:43 +0000 UTC]

It's mainly because of panel #2 in the original. Ryo being dramatic is a fail in the original

Here's the original story: [link]
And it's animated too. You need to be logged in onto youtube before you can see it though because it's definitely not the stuff which you want to show kids. Especially the last one is very gory.... you can take a look if you want

Glad to hear! Are there particular ones that are good? There's quite a lot of time between several of these doodles so I know some of them are not good, but I don't mind showing that too, I'm only learning after all and want to get better!

Haha yesss Sorrel is my other favourite! I didn't include her here since she isn't human looking but she's cool indeed I liked the rats as well. First time meeting someone other than my brother who even knows of this book, yes!

Yeah, I like Rosa! *totally not because we share a name*

My little sister who I share this account with likes Firedrake the best.

Lola was my favourite rat (not sure if she has the same name in English? The one with the tiny plane), her way of speaking made me laugh Yeah they are all likeable characters, a very sweet book (well, except for the golden dragon, but one needs a villain I suppose xD )

kalliat In reply to Avanii [2012-11-21 08:46:35 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, yeah.
Her name is Lola in English ^^

I actually pity the golden one, because he was created solely for that.

Avanii In reply to kalliat [2012-11-21 12:42:36 +0000 UTC]

Ah good, some names are so different in various languages (I read the Dutch version) that I'm not always sure people will know who I'm talking about xD

Hmm, yes you have a point, but still, he wanted to eat my favourite characters (or actually all of them) so I don't like him any way xD
