Sketchbook dump!

[shichahn]

Hey everyone, I'm back from Tinian (I know, I know, you didn't even know I was gone). Today, I bring you lots of sketches, done over the past three years but mostly weighted toward things done more recently. This is by no means the entire contents of my sketchbook, obviously, but just a few highlights I thought people might be interested in seeing. As will not surprise you, the majority of my sketchbook, academic exercises aside, consists of drawings of birds and various bits of fanart. Shocking, I know.

Aplomado falcon on yucca
Weird made-up birds
Ducks
Pied currawongs
Hedgehog
Crows
Ibis sketches
Glossy Ibis
Tex
Collared kingfisher
Misc. Harem AU stuff
Rufous fantail
More AU stuff
Gamma
Delta
More Tex

Edit: Obviously not out of my sketchbook, but I thought I'd just tack it on to the end here: Omega

Really excellent stuff, Lauren! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH YOU'RE SO TALENTED! TT_TT

D'aww, thank you! Hehe. I know people are always curious about my sketchbook but it's usually so full of crappy blind contours and other useless school-related things that it's awkward when people look through and see that nonsense. So, yeah, this is the stuff that's actually interesting to look at.

OH HEY. This is unrelated but if you have an hour or so, the LFTO group did an interview with Burnie in which we grilled him on some hard questions, and got some pretty excellent answers. So if you want to listen you can download it here (http://lfto.podomatic.com/). Some good stuff in there. Otherwise I can give you the highlights in some other more spoiler-safe place (like over email I suppose).

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Fffff, you should probably just send me the highlights, if you'd be so kind. I'll probably get around to listening to it at some point, but I can't see myself prioritizing it anytime soon.

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Kinda figured. ;D Oh, and I've decided I'd be happy to attempt joining the hero party as Church and Caboose. Mostly because I love the idea of some competent protagonist getting stuck with Caboose, bwahaha.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaay!! :DD

...The thought had occurred to me. I kind of want Caboose to end up with Batman. Because I'm a horrible person. XD

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Yep. That was pretty much my exact same thought. SUPER ROOMMATE TWIN POWERS...

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

...ACTIVATE!! :DDDD

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Mr. Marx there is almost attempting to do the thing! Except his hand needs to be in a slightly different configuration, and on top of his lampshade.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Ha! I hadn't noticed. XD

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Also, you now have a lengthy email. And I just remembered something else that should have been on it. Argh.

[shinyget.livejournal.com]

Those are some awesome pictures, omg. All your Harem AU drawings make me quite happy. ;D

[martienne17.livejournal.com]

You make me want to start drawing again. XP

[regonym.livejournal.com]

Pretty pretty pictures! And wait, does this mean you're back in Arrrrr-gon now?

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

The little portrait on top of "more AU stuff" is actually supposed to be Church from later on in Past AU, like, some point we haven't gotten to yet. So there is a mix. But drawing from Harem AU always entertains me. XD

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

Do it!

[shichahn.livejournal.com]

No, I'm back on Saipan now. I took a side-trip to Tinian for a couple days.

[shinyget.livejournal.com]

Aww, daddy Church is hidden up there. <3 We need to do more of Past AU sometime, but I like what's going on in Harem AU right now.

Actually I have been working on a piece. It's reminding how out of practice I am (I probably haven't done anything but little still-life doodles since 2000). Hopefully I'll remember my skills again quickly as it is meant to be a birthday present for someone on Monday. I'll let you see it if it ends up being decent.
