Thanks for replying! I've always loved the way you can include so much personality and story into a single character image, it reminds me of the best examples in RPG books where they want to depict a character concept or a monster and they just nail it.

Yo! Whats one thing you love drawing and find hard to do, and one thing you hate drawing but can do easily?

Really great question!

I love designing characters and I never get tired of doing it, but it also never really gets easier. I agonize over every little detail, drawing and re-drawing things over and over and pulling up tons of reference images. A fully-inked and colored character usually takes me a whole workday. I'm generally pretty happy with the finished results but I never seem to get any quicker at it haha.

I don't know if there's anything I'm good at drawing that I also hate to draw. I find the act of drawing pleasurable in and of itself. I sometimes find it frustrating when I'm commissioned to do "generic" fantasy or sci-fi illustrations. Like something that's just a "knight" or just a "spaceman" and the client really doesn't want me to riff on the design. I chafe under those kinds of restraints. Not gonna post any example pics because I don't want to offend anyone but it happens lol. Most of my clients are great though and give me a pretty free rein!

Hope this answers your question. If you've got any other questions about art or how I draw or whatever, just send them my way!

Boogie Boys

Me and the husban (@xx-k1tsun3-k1d-xx) doing a lil' dance.

Small quick animations are so fun to make, there's something so special seing the final image come to life.

I don't have a particular song in mind to synch this to, but Move Your Feet by Junior Senior works pretty decently.

The Blue Man at the Register

IT IS HOW IT IS.

IT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

We never get to see the rest of his body, so I took a little creative liberty to be a little weird and silly with it.

KSS KYUR MUB MUB KA MUB BLI SKA

The endlessly endearing Mr. Mub Mub, as voiced by the irrepressibly energetic @baronharkonnen (SpeakerD)

I love how genuinely alien the Xenians and other aliens are in half-life, from their biology to their mannerisms to their speech quirks. SpeakerD does a fantastic job of conveying the true alien grasp of social interactions in a way that is both funny and very empathetic.

The species in HL also have some interesting means of making art too, which is what I tried to get at here. I like to think if Mubby wanted to make a self portrait, it would look a little like this.

Tankard of "Wine"

Wine probably shouldn't foam this much, but I'm a cider guy so what do I know.

I like to think the Plump Caps and their resulting wine share a lot of flavour with where/what they're grown on. like if you grow them on wood chips you get a nice woody or earthy undertone.

Husband isn't a furry yet, but we'll get him eventually.

Back on the Beans Boys!

I love the soft textures on this, and the mix of warm tones and earthy ones.

I found this old study I forgot about saved on my phone. BEANS!
