Updated Drawing

Skylark · September 11th, 2006, 11:05 PM

Here's an updated version of a quick sketch I posted here some time back. I added colors to what was once only an ink Sketch. I still wanted to keep the 'sketchy-ness' of the original look, so I only slightly cleaned up a few of the rough lines. I had great fun playing with the forms and shapes to make her hair.

Enjoy.

Lines are cool

I think your drawing just needs a little cleanup.

Skylark · September 13th, 2006, 06:51 PM

Understood, my good man.

How about this one?

Malchiel · September 13th, 2006, 07:39 PM

saying that it looks a lot like veronica in Archie's digest would be an understatement.

Skylark · September 14th, 2006, 01:08 PM

Hey Malchiel, you are probably right. Well, it's a good thing there isn't a Betty around or this thread could turn into some real serious trouble between the two girls and--

Uh oh...

Looks cool to me XD

SAB-CA · September 14th, 2006, 07:48 PM

WOW Archie, WHAT DID YOU EVER SEE IN BETTY!?!?! XD

Always good to see ya here, Sky. Works are quite comic-y in tone, I like

i like sketchiness in drawings;
even tho some call it incomplete...nice ones

Skylark · October 12th, 2006, 09:34 PM

I've updated and overhauled everything in the gallery. Now both of the works that Sab-ca and I did are on display. The small girl is Keysa (I'm thinking of making the spelling Keesa -- or Kisa -- because I'm trying to get the long 'e' sound in there). She is tiny because I made the character Brakko look so large in size. But that's the idea, which is to have contrast in size in order for the characters to 'read' or stand out better.

The character expressions are a combination of Anime, Hanna & Barbera, and (like Sam Lee writes about in his own works) people I have known or met.

For some reason this unfinished drawing (below) looks better than the completed one I have posted online elsewhere. Might as well leave it here for final viewing.

Bye.

That'll be fun to see colored! Keysa's so tiny! XD Nice diversity with the cast you have there. All you're missing is the obvious old man. lol.

Good to see your gallery comin' together. Your charas sure are showing alot of personality there!

Here's one I updated:

Galactic Officer Joyce:

Another version of the character. Here she is at the Galaxy Agent's Base of Operations:

Btw, hope people are enjoying this stuff. Thank you for the look.

Bye.

This is another person whose drawings I really like (and she has just returned to writing again - hurrah!). Her name is Tara Tallan.

Her early 'Galaxion' SF comic is partly anime inspired. I admired her efforts because her comic really focused on story and character. Her passion and efforts to achieve the kind independence most anime fans try to achieve with their own art and webcomics is the kind of qualities that I look for and try to support.

Her comic book temporarily ceased in '98. However, she has returned and is online now trying to re-sharpen her storytelling skills with new Galaxion stories.

You can examine and read her webcomic here:
