I just bought a new sketchbook. Usually when I have a sketchbook, I just fill it with poorly drawn filth to disturb my friends and myself. But not this time, so I'll post what I draw.

![]() Practicing drawing a hand here. Dunno what made me decide to draw all that stuff around it. I think it's kinda creepy. |

These next two are pretty nerdy. I was replaying Symphony of the Night earlier and started thinking about how it would've been cool if all of the unique equipment Alucard could get actually showed up on his sprite. After that I decided to make it into a little drawing assignment for myself.
This is a drawing of this equipment combo: Short Sword Leather Shield Hide Cuirass Sunglasses Cloth Cape Gauntlet Throwing knife (Subweapon) Mostly stuff from early in the game. I think he looks like John Lennon a bit. ![]() My scanner didn't treat this drawing very well.

And this is my usual equipment set up for the end of the game:
Moon Rod Basilard Mojo Mail Wizard Hat Joseph's Cloak Mystic Pendant Ring of Varda I usually take the lightning gun as my subweapon but I wasn't able to work it into my drawing. ![]() This is all very hypocritical of me because I make fun of legitimate fan-art on my website. But oh well. |

![]() I started off with the intent of just drawing a Guinea Pig but then I screwed that up and just modified it into a weird helmet for warrior girl here. I like this drawing but I think I should've done her right foot a little differently. |

![]() Someone I know wanted to know what my "type" looks like, so I drew this for them. She's supposed to look a little chubby, but I don't know if it's really all that apparent. |

![]() ![]() I actually really like the way my drawings look when saved as low color gifs. |

Those are all really nice, Hobbes. I like the girl with the guinea pig helmet the best. Reminds me of some of the strange animal helmets you can get in Secret of Mana.

Thanks! That was my favorite of that batch too.

I colored some new sketches in Photoshop. I really like the way they turned out.

Here's a redesign for Sweetbee & What's Up
![]() ![]() I'm not sure if I've ever given What's Up a species before, but I've decided he's an alligator now. He was probably a dinosaur before if anything, which seems like kind of a cliche. I dunno if I should change his spikes back to red or not, though. Any opinions? Sweetbee seems more accurate now. I don't want to be like that Megatokyo guy where my drawings of "myself" are intensely, intensely idealized, so I think this portrays my general real life sloppiness well enough while keeping within the cutesy style. He also has a nose now. |

It looks like I deleted the source sketch for these two, so I can only post the colored versions.
![]() This is my first try at a new design for What's Up. I like it, but not for the character. ![]() This is supposed to be him with his dad. I decided he should be an alligator after drawing his father. |

I like the green spikes a little more. He seems less like a Yoshi SAB with green spikes and more like an alligator. It's up to you, though.

I'm a big fan of the newer ones you posted up.
Definitely a unique style of drawing, really cool... I like the green spikes too... |

Re: Sketchbook | ||

Thanks man!
The green spikes are staying. I was trying to move his design away from being a take off of Bubblun, but I guess I somehow glazed over that I was making him look more like Yoshi instead. Here's a preview from a possible future update. ![]() I like the background, 'cause it reminds me of the way the interior of Castle Grayskull looked in my old Masters of the Universe storybooks. Is it pathetic that a cute little spider I drew myself kind of scares me? |

I wanted to see if I could design something that reminded me of the Official Nintendo Player's Guide and old issues of Nintendo Power. This is what I came up with:
![]() I didn't put much effort into the text, so if it's kinda laughable that's why. It's nothing I was ever going to do past this mock up page (at least not for Metroid), it doesn't really even represent a quick path through the game (it assumes you beat Kraid before Ridley, when it's less of a hassle to do it the other way around). It might be kinda fun to do one of these for something like Final Fantasy IIIj or Zelda: Outlands. Oh, and I grabbed the map off of GameFaqs, I didn't design it myself. |

That's awesome! I'd love to see an entire guide like that.

Re: Sketchbook | ||

Thanks! I think I'll at least do some more pages for other games; it's great practice for using the Photoshop program. I'd love to do a whole guide, but the amount of effort that would require would be pretty insane.
Although, if Nintendo is reading this and wants to pay me to do something like that for all the old games they're releasing on the Wii, that would be nice and I am sorry about all the mean things I think about your ![]() As a side note, if you ever want to get screenshots that look like they came from the TV on a computer, NEStopia has a great NTSC filter that looks surprisingly accurate. It slows down the gameplay to an insane degree (at least on my computer), but for grabbing a few images here and there it's great. |

Re: Sketchbook | ||

Is it just me, or are you not only touching up with photoshop, but even changing the picture?
It looks like you made Samus's head more narrow, and also changed the way the nose was drawn. |
