Costume drama and morality play.
It’s Ellington Velvetface, greasy English dandy. I believe he’s recently arrived in America to have his life redeemed by the true love of a common jazz-singing woman from Harlem.
Did this piece in illustrator, so, of course, there’s a high-res pdf, if you want to put it on your cat’s birthday invitations.

Give that guy a hand.
Yeah. I want to set this up for you. In my Tuesday improv class, a couple of class-mates went up to do a “Star-Trekky” scene. One of the pair decided to be an alien, and to achieve the illusion, he put his hand up over his face. Soon, much wacky business was involved, and we in the class enjoyed the scene. So here’s that goofy hand-face-alien, just recently promoted to blue-shirt.

Walk! Don’t Walk! This will be on the final!
The sinister Professor Stoplight has some nefarious schemes up his leather-patched sleeves.

It ain’t no daisy walk through the cake factory.
Photoshop painting is a little tough. I think my main problem is I blew it with the underpainting. That’s probably the key to the operation.

Even a dragonman’s gotta eat.
There ya go, a little Draco. I think he’s about to eat his pipe. And yes, I drew him without reference again.

Still not a meerkat.
California ring-tailed cats. Actually cousins to the ubiquitous raccoon, these critters are cooler than the banner-bearing California grizzly bear. If you ask me.
This one’s wrong, not realistic, and not cartoony. Troublesome all around.

Depthless perception.
Look it’s Cy Clops! Play it cool, maybe we can get an autograph.
Also weather-beaten private detective. Made out of Illustrator.

Perhaps he’s not-a-civet?
Speaking of things that aren’t what they are: Here’s not not-a-meerkat. I know he’s not-a-meerkat, even though he’s got that stripey tail, mainly due to the smart suit that I think he’s wearing to private school.

Officially incorrect.
Look, it’s not N-Girl (formerly not known as ‘G-Girl‘)
Yeah, this is way off-model. Even the coloring is wrong. It should be a black and orange racing jacket and silver earrings and her skin should have a more olive cast. But the really derailing aspect is the nose, it should be longer and more aquiline.

Soviet dogstar.
Here’s doodle of doomed cosmo-dog Laika. Which always reminds me of Phenomenauts.
This is a vaguely prettied-up version of this pencil sketch.

Productivity death.
Interesting thing. I’ve been fighting a bit of medial epicondylitis, and one of the suggested methods to minimize the stress on my mousing arm, is to switch over to a Wacom tablet for all of my pointing needs. It’s a bit of an adjustment, as the tablet’s not much for making text selections. But I do find myslelf doodling in Illustrator and Photoshop. And you know what? I’m going to post my aimless doodles.
