The sorts of things I draw

Hey Weregeeks! Just a reminder that the commission sale goes live on Monday, and I’ll be posting a link to the pricing and details here on the blog.

For now, I’ve had a several people ask what sorts of things I’m comfortable drawing. The answer is, pretty much anything, provided it’s PG-13. (Cheesecake is fine, but no nudity.) I’m comfortable drawing in several different styles, so if you’ve had a hankering for an anime character, I can probably do that. Same thing if you have a noir character, or a Hellboy fan character, or anything of that sort. If you have photo reference of the sort of style you’re after, that makes it easier on me.

Today’s sketch is a sampling of the sorts of things people have commissioned from me in the past.

Shatner Sammiches

This comic depicts, almost word for word, actual events from life. If anything, I’ve toned down Laye dramatics. To be fair, he *had* put in a long day at the lab and hadn’t slept well the night before, but it was still hilarious to watch the overacting occur.

And, speaking of Shatner and cooking… If you’re a fan of both, you should watch Iron Chef USA (not Iron Chef America), in which Bill Shatner plays the part of the chariman. It’s all kinds of wonderful!

Stripey socks are the best socks

This comic isn’t quite accurate. For one, as I write this blog post, my feet are uclad in any sort of knit warming tubes. It’s still (just) warm enough here that the Sock Time Alarm in my brain hasn’t gone off yet. But, I imagine it won’t be long now before it will, and then all of the socks that have been hidden away in the Winter Clothing storage bin under my bed will once again be put into service. I always discover gems I’d forgotten about, like the green and white striped toe socks with Santas embroidered down the side, or the knee-high purple and black socks that I bought last Halloween but that are so good for costuming…

If you too suffer from a sock obsession, then you should not click the following link. If you don’t, then clicking this link will instantly *give* you a sock obsession, and so might be equally dangerous. But, oh! The pretty socks!! And the arm warmers!

Zombie Tracker

Alina — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 04:39:47 +0000

I have a limited amount of skills in the event of a zombie apocalypse. I’m okay with a gun if you hand me one that’s loaded, but if there’s a better shot around, you better give them the gun. Same thing with hand-to-hand combat. (I have weak, girly little wrists. They would complain bitterly after cracking a few skulls with a bat.)

However, what I’m really good at is finding food and reading tracks. Give me a few hours in the bush and I’ll rustle up some grub for you. Got a zombie you need tracked back to it’s lair? I’m your gal.

Just, uh… Get someone else to handle the fighting, m’kay? Or I’m liable to get myself bit.
