Forever21 has ripped me off. Normally I wouldn’t get this upset, but this design in particular was made for my wife as a gift so it really hurts to see it stolen. If you feel so inclined, let them know via Twitter and Facebook that artists will no longer stand for this nonsense!!!

Tried posting this yesterday but tumblr was being weird. This is the bubble bobble piece I’m now working on! The first picture is my SUPER DOODLEY sketch underneath and me starting to do my tighter sketch on top, and the second picture is me doing the finished linework on top of my tighter sketch. Dunno when I’m gonna have a new journal comic because I’ll probably be working on this for a day or two or three. I’m doing this to hopefully get put in a videogame zine! More info about that here: http://jgillustration.tumblr.com/post/14038622886/attention-video-game-nerds-artists-im
I actually just realized that I need to reformat the drawing a bit because it’s supposed to fit 5.5 x 8 inches x_x! Well, you can make 8.5 x 11 images but I THINK that stretches across two pages and I don’t want a fold right in the middle where bub and bob are! I THINK. Either way it’ll be pretty easy to fix! :D
Thinking about doing a bubble bobble drawing so I doodled some bubble bobble monsters. I dunno, just doodlin’
Robots with organic stuff coming out! Might make a few more with other famous Japanese robo-men…
I don’t normally reblog stuff (anymore) but this is really kewl and you should look at it
A full time job I’m not being paid for. HEH.
So I came to the conclusion that I need to treat drawing like it’s a job otherwise I’m never going to make money doing it. That means that I need to wake up at a normal time, eat some food, and then draw for a zillion hours. Every day. I’m actually kinda worried about money, I need to find a gig or something. But I figure I need to put a lot in before I get anything back. I have to keep posting stuff and getting better at drawing and networking and junk before anything good happens. I think. I HOPE. OH GOD WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS OVER WHORING MYSELF ON YOUTUBE.
Also noting the fact that I keep changing the style I draw myself in between comics. I’m hoping that eventually it’ll naturally level itself out. Also I keep drawing myself with spiky hair but that’s only because my hair is messy at all times except for when I’m going out. Also I’m probably analyzing all this stuff way too much
this is my OC Blank the Wolf he is 16 years old and bisexual he likes piercings and shiny objects he wears a gray hoodie he likes zippers running and kissing boy wolfs even though sometimes he thinks about girls wolfs but hes really confused about that he has a really cool earing on the top of his ear like the one my mom wont let me get and big gloves his favorite food is macaroni and cheese and he likes to hang out with Knuckles the Echidna they are best friends and sometimes they kiss each other its really weird XD um Blank also has a little sister her name is Chibi and he likes to torture her he has a voodoo doll that he pokes sometimes that looks like her his favorite tv shows are naruto death note and bleach
(Hey everyone! John here! We didn’t forget about the sketchblog! Zack was visiting and it was the holidays and other junk happened but now we’re back! Anyway, I discovered today that if I were a Sonic fanboy I wouldn’t be the WORST at doing fanart. Hope you like my “OC”. I’m not sure if Aubrey is posting this week but if not, the next think you’ll see from us is the start of this giant…uh…project…that we’re working on. You’ll see. BYE!)
Here’s the thing I just drew for supercoolsketchblog! The challenge was to create a terrible “OC”, draw it like someone who draws terrible OCs, and then draw it like you actually would.
One of the worst parts about being sick is not being able to taste anything. I think tomorrow I’m going to feel 100% though! FINALLY. All from walking over a bridge with 0 sleep at 7:30 in the morning in January. Whatever man, I’m too punk to care about being sick. 2 PUNK 2 CARE.
More thoughts on comic making: HMMM. So I wonder if I need to be consistent with the linewidths of each of my comics. If you look at the last one, all the lines are thicker, and if you look at the first one, it’s thin like this. Does it matter? Probably not unless you’re going to be viewing these comics all in the same place instead of one at a time, but I guess if I ever want to print these in a book that’s something I need to think about. I also got an almost chibi scott pilgrim thing going on in this comic. I don’t think I intended to draw them this way when I started in the first one, but I like the look. It’s really hard to stay consistent since I don’t draw bodies a lot, but hopefully after a while of doing these it’ll be easier. I’M LEARNING THINGS!
Me Zack and Aubrey stayed in Manhattan overnight to watch the sunrise on the Brooklyn Bridge at 7:30 in the morning. We were probably only outside for about an hour or two but with 0 sleep and it being super cold I got sick almost immediately AND I’M STILL SICK!
ALSO I’m trying to figure out this comic junk and I’m trying to start being consistent with layout and stuff but I’m not sure about some things. For instance, I really like the way DRAWN panel lines look, but I absolutely freaking hate drawing them. In this one I just did them with the rectangular marquee tool which is 100x faster, so I’m not sure if it’s really worth drawing them or not because it doesn’t make that HUGE of a difference I don’t think. Anyway, another comic coming up soon!
New sticker hanging out with my Johnman one! :)
And Yo Gabba Gabba!

So I might be making a journal comic…MAYBE. We’ll see if I keep doing this…I don’t know…
