Scanned a bunch of stuff from old sketchbooks today.


First we have a thing. A lightly penciled thing in the first page of an otherwise-unused blank book that has remained a blank book since its production and purchase in, we estimate, the 1920s. (My grandmother never threw anything away in her life.)



I don't remember drawing this. At all. But it has to have been me. ... Right?

(please tell me I'm not the only one freaked the hell out oh god..)

In happier news, I sketched a bit in Oz.



The sunset, from Sydney Tower.



A rose from the Botanical Gardens (shoulda drawn a bat.)



And a jazz quartet, in front of a church the name of which I forget.




A free, open-air concert in Launceston.



Aaaand at Ez's request, a poorly-rendered concept sketch of one Kir Hannon. Yes she is named after a drink. 8|

Finally have a quick dump of 90-second ink sketches set in Rivelata.



It seems I rarely have the patience for long projects nowadays. But these were fun. I'm pretty fond of Jan in particular, the creepy little bastard.

..... You don't even remember drawing that first one? ... Yeah just a bit creepy.

Although the paper itself looks cool. 8D;;; /geek.

Well, one of the things that regularly appears on the page when I don't know what to draw* is the triple-taloned foot of some predatory beast. So it must be mine. But no, I honestly have no memory of this particular beast, and I look at it now and think Pan's Labyrinth meets Silent Hill. Yeah. Just a bit.

*Also on this list: fire, bat-wings of improbable color, Rydia.

Bat-wings and three-toed predators. Put it all together, and you may eventually get a Cthulhu.

Nice sketches, though.

[arks.livejournal.com]

Of course! ♥ I'll have to make a better.

Heh perhaps someone drew it in the store and left it in the sketchbook before you bought it... I have the sudden urge to do something similar now.

[arks.livejournal.com]

No, dude. Empty book. And not bought in any store I've been in.

1920's. Seriously.
