Shake dem bones!

A doodle of Dry Bones. Very fun to draw might I add! I'm going to see if I can dip into my savings and purchase Mario Kart for the Wii, I feel it would be a worth while investment to tie me over until the release of Brawl over here in the UK.

Apple skins.

Evil things they are, going and getting stuck in your teeth!

A lot has happened over the last few days, my dad recently got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I was scared as hell at first, but now I've been informed on what he can consume and what he needs to do so all will be alright in a month or so, I'll just keep an eye out on what he eats.


Anyways, on to today's doodle. I was in a sketcher room and the idea for a collab came up, the theme being "Come up with your own Supervillain!". Me being me, I had no idea what to do to make the lamest possible villain ever. So I asked around for random words to jog my imagination. Naturally a good friend of mine suggested "Apple!" and this was what spawned from it.

Apple Core! Changing the way you think of apples for ever with the help of his apple peeler, apple pie launcher, rotten apple grenades and my personal favourite...A sub seed machine gun, weapon idea courtesy of a friend. Ahhh, all is well.

Pick nick-ing.

I'm not too chuffed with this. It took waaaay longer than it should have and I had a hard time even coming up with the idea. Then again I had an important test today and that had to have to had fried my brain in some way. Ah well, enjoy for now!

Maybe I should colour on a different applet, sketcher isn't one that I'm very competent with...

I'm on a roll here!

I finished something else today, huzzah! Now if only I could funnel my creative energy into my studies...Hmmm.

Oh, how rude of me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Claire, I'm 16 and I daydream of being an animator. Yeah that's about it.

How Delightful...

Been watching KND a lot more again wich would be a good thing if I could ever catch it on TV. Oh what I would give to have the whole series on DVD, how awesome that would be... Though I don't think CN will ever do that, they seem to have a habbit of just releasing the first series and leaving it. Oh well, I'll just have to keep trying to catch it and hope that one day they do give us the remainder of the series up for buying.

I've noticed that I'm a huge fan of the Six Gum Gang but to my horror there hasn't been any fanart done for them to my knowledge. I'm just going to have to fix that now aren't I? But for now here's a doodle from an idea I've had for a little mini-comic a while back. Poor Lenny usually gets away with snoozing because the helmet hides his face. Not his snores though...

I love the Delightful Children, the idea of such a group really wows me.

Thingssss.

I've run into a mind blank in the drawing department...So I just plug in my tablet, head into the sketchers on Art Grounds and doodle away at anything that takes my fancy. As of lately it's a few of my friends characters hehe. Maybe I should start reading articles and get some ideas...Meh, or I could just go play videogames. That is always an option.



Lazy line art as usual but that's me for you! Have a good one people.

Oh, and to anyone interested in online drawing applets. I recommend signing up over at http:www.artgrounds.com , it's a great place to socialise and doodle with fellow artists. If you do join just look for me under the username ManicSaru, I'd be happy to show you around and the do's and don'ts.

Toodle pip!

Cows and guns.

Okay so I haven't been around much lately, school is still taking over but you know, only 8 more weeks right? Then it's exam time and after that the long awaited summer holidays!
I plan on doing a lot during the Summer, hanging out with friends, getting a few new programs for animating, actually get a version of Photoshop...And of course, the whole travelling around to Open days for colleges thing, I plan on visiting Dundee University as well as the Art college, maybe even a little closer to home and checking out Edinburgh college of art. I was in there once before to see the art with my class and I must admit it is a beautiful place to work...Though the hallways kinda remind me of a hospital. Hm, that's a tad un-nerving isn't it?

Oh yeah, got my report card today too. Can't wait to see my dad's face when he sees how good it's going for me, somehow I think he'll turn it into a drama and something bad like usual but nyeh, I'll let him because I'm happy with it. Yes yes.


And to every ones surprise I DO bring art with me this visit, and it's finished! Kind of anyway. The line art is messy but it was a quick doodle so sue me.



Yup, done for a friend of mine who is obsessed with this little Bomberman. Who could blame him? Just look at his face! You can't say no to it.

But since yesterday I've been doodling up storm with lots of...Cowboys. And I mean a LOT. Maybe I'll upload some next time around hm? Have a good one guys!
