Doodle A Day - 15

Two weeks down, fifty to go, right? xD Only had time for a quick doodle since belly dancing starts up again tonight and I need to do some chores and I want to get some writing done.

The third horseman, War the Red Rider, as portrayed by Hope. When she wasn't out maiming people in the name of Lord Apocalypse her favourite hobby was brushing her hair in front of her mirror, vain creature.

... Why, oh why did I think drawing a reflection would be a good idea ><

Doodle A Day - 13 & 14

And we're back up to date ... at least I think we are. Well, it doesn't matter in the long run 'cos I finished the damn Famine picture! This was such a pain in the ass, seriously, shading all the black, and then it turned out I'd shaded it wrong on some levels and then once everything was shaded having to go back at re-colour all the bits I'd missed.

I have to admit though, the end result is quite awesome. I'm quite pleased with how the mane turned out for one, and the horse's body, but that's mostly down to my beloved DF taking this as an opportunity to show me how to make something appear gaunt, he teaches better by demonstration after all. After finishing this though my hand was cramping so badly I just saved and went to bed.

Today I took a break from the horsemen and finished that silly little scene from the X-Men RP I'd started the blue lines for the other day. For my character's birthday there were drunk party games and after playing musical chairs there were only the two speedsters Jean-Paul (Northstar) and Noriko (Surge) left in the game (yes, there was a lot of cheating xD).

When the music stopped they both grabbed the chair at the same time, and Jean-Paul tried to run off with it while Noriko was clinging onto it for dear life, which resulted in this picture. A few moments later Jean-Paul decided to jump into the pool to get her off, and thus won the bottle of raspberry flavoured vodka that was the prize.

My character had an awesome birthday ^-^

Doodle A Day - 11 & 12

Well, that head-cold thing kicked my ass for a day or too, but I still managed to get some arty-ness done.

Day eleven was spent mostly asleep, but I got the pony's mane done and broke up the black with some gold ... well, at the moment it just looks like yellow but HOPEFULLY it'll look gold when it's done.

Day twelve I just did the blue rough lines for a cutie-fied scene from the Nightscrawearth RP that I said I'd draw.

I've also started to watermark my pictures on the advice of DF, just in case I ever get good enough for people to try stealing my work >.>

Now, off to get some more art done before I get sleepy again!

Doodle A Day - 10

Look! I did something! Only flat colour since I'e been feeling a bit ill the past couple of days and I think I need a nap but I really wanted to get something up.

Traditionally it's Famine who's the black rider of the apocalypse, not Death, so I foresee this picture going 'Fifty Shades of Black' on me unless I can think of a different colour for the details on the uniform ... maybe gold? I dunno, I'll sleep on it.

But yay! Drawing again!

Doodle A Day - 8

Well this is going well, two days behind now ><

Lessee, well, firstly this is the sketch work for the second Horseman, Famine, who when he appeared in game was riding an evil, flaming pony (as you do). In case you were wondering, yes this is a trace from a stock photo I've found since I've never drawn a horse in my life (well ... I probably drew some when I was five but that probably doesn't count).

I seriously could not be arsed to spend weeks and months researching horse anatomy, how people sit on horses and how the reigns would work just for a doodle of an RP character, drawing for me is just a hobby after all.

So yes, pony!

In non-arty news, I had my job interview for Ladbrokes today, so fingers crossed I'll hear back form them, yeah?

Though of course the downside of having a job would be that I would probably miss more drawings days >< oh well ...

Doodle A Day - 7

Annnnd finished. Meet Reed Richards, AKA Marvel's Mr. Fantastic, AKA Nightscrawlearth's Pestilence, the White Rider of Apocalypse.

Nightscrawearth is a long-running, chat based RP that I'm a member of. It's X-Men based in a 'mutants only' universe, so we have characters like Reed to the left here, Thor, Warlock, Spider-Man, only they're all mutants with an X-gene, not gods and aliens and results of weird science experiments, it's a lot of fun.

We've not long finished an 'Apocalypse' plot, where wealthy business man and megalomaniac En Sabah Nur arranged the kidnapping of a handful of X-Men and had Dr. Essex (who you might know better as Mr. Sinister) alter them into his Horsemen, due to his brilliant intellect and rubber body which the judged would be a good host to any variety of diseases he could create with his twisted genius, Reed was transformed into Pestilence.

Don't worry, he's better now, but ol' Poccy is still out there somewhere ...

If you're interested in our RP, you can check it out here.

Next for my daily challenge, I might start working on one of the other Horsemen.
