So, I've got an art-related question. Does anyone remember this drawing of Lucci and hungover Paulie? Well, I liked the idea a lot, but the execution was not that great. I've actually been drawing again this week, thanks in large part to having to get off my ass and try to kick-start ff_100 again.

Well, I'm trying to redraw the idea. Except, you know. Better. The problem is, I don't know if the new version is better than the old one. Can you guys help me out here?



( In-progress artses under cut )

I asked yaznall when I was home last night and he said that he liked the sketchiness and general feel of the old version better, and I think I agree. I can always make this new one messier (yay, pencil tool!), but I'm not sure if it's worth it. There's also that hangup I have where I feel that I can only nail a given expression once. Did I make enough things better? I think I can recapture the grunge if I try, but I'm not sure that I made the second version better enough to be worth it.

Any thoughts?

Plus, if I abandon this second version I can go draw my new obsession, Kratos from Tales fo Symphonia. Or finish regann's ff_100 thank-you-for-entering art. Or draw some Seifer/Zell to lure bottle_of_shine out of whatever hole she fell in to (where are you?).

... I was going to cleverly add "*is lazy*" after the bit about dropping this makeover project but then I got into my list of OTHER stuff I need to be doing and realized that no, I'm not lazy. It's more along the lines of irretrievably crazy with a side of off-and-on criminal lethargy.

Tremendous Medium-sized doodle dump for the meme. Go request something there! Pweeese?

Sorry for the delay -- my life imploded a little and I haven't had much scanner access.

I still owe muggy_mountain her charcoal Auron and lambspam her brush pen Jasmine. I'm sorry guys, it's been not a good week. I'll get those to you over the weekend.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER: these are doodles, drawn for the purpose of teaching me to loosen up about my art. So, uh, don't expect Rembrandt XD

Without further ado, picspam:

Ben and his gun for jubin who rocks so hard for consenting to be a Link Checker and Skimmer over on grand_line_vine. I love you, I hope you like your Ben ;_;



( PICSPAM -- 3 more doodles )

That's all for today. I promise I'll get those scans I've not had a chance to do yet done, uh, soon. Shooting for tonight, possibly this weekend. Cheers! =)
