During a pep rally, I borrowed my best friend's clicky pen to do a sketch with its limited color range. — Early 1999
Similar to the above, this was a pep rally sketch with drying-up markers, limited colors. — Early 1999
Quick pencil study of a classmate posing in a hat. — Early 2000
Another pencil study of a different classmate sitting in a desk next to me. She knew I was drawing her, but let me draw her in profile instead of looking at the "camera." — Early 2000
And another classmate, in a candid sketch from across the classroom. The pencils were soft leads, so I experimented with tissue-smudging them. — Early 2000
I was inspired by the concept art for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, particularly the "Sith witch" concepts. Since I like pink, I thought I'd see if I could combine the "Sith witch" feel with not-so-Sithy pink. — Mid 2000
Deadly petite cyborg Alita (original name: Gally) from the manga Battle Angel Alita. — Fall 2000
Another deadly manga cyborg, though this time she's the tall Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. I was wondering what her cyborg skeleton might look like. The anatomy is fairly horrible. — Fall 2000
I can't remember the origin of this goat-man and cat-woman picture. Did someone ask me to do it? Was I just bored in class? — Fall 2000
Sketches of dresses, mixing an ink pen, mechanical pencil, and blue gel pen. — Fall 2000
Clothing concepts for my character Immora, playing around with flowing fabrics and gems.— Fall 2000
More clothing concepts for Immora mixed with a random assortment of eyes and noses. — Fall 2000
Another sparkly clothing concept for Immora, pen with purple gel pen accents. — Fall 2000
An angel that I sketched during class with a mechanical pencil on computer paper; I was going to make a painting of it to show my condolences for one of my good friends when a girl that was like a sister to him was killed by a drunk driver. The angel would have had her face (I didn't know what she looked like). The wings are awful! Face detail. — October 2000
An anime-ish rendition of a younger Immora (I borrow my alias from my character). She looks rather nice with the chin-length hair, actually, and I think this is the first time I drew her with the little facial jewels. Not surprisingly when you look at the quality, this a ballpoint pen sketch in a spiral notebook — Fall 2000
Two random anime-ish faces I drew in a spiral notebook with a ballpoint pen when I was bored in class. — 2000 or 2001
One time in Spanish, I was bored (surprise!) and covered a paper with a bunch of faces in anime-ish style. Most of these are characters of mine, and some random ones thrown in. I don't expect y'all to identify them though. Materials include a regular ol' ink pen, ballpoint pens in blue, pink, and purple, and pastel gel pens. — January 2001
More sketches over a piece of paper. Unrelated ones, too! Several characters appear here, but it's not important who they are. Let's see... black ink pen, ballpoint pen, and mechanical pencil. — Spring 2001
It's unusual for me to draw men since I have very little grasp of how to portray male anatomy. While bored in Algebra, I tried to think of a new outfit for my character Somnium. Never used it. But hey, here's one of the few guys I've drawn. — Spring 2001
I was experimenting with my new Tria markers and trying to come up with a character design for my Malkavian (that's an insane vampire in Vampire: The Masquerade.) She ended up not looking like this, but wearing the same clothing. — June 2001
Another Tria marker Malkavian concept. This time, she's blonde and slightly more formal. — June 2001
This time, the Malkie is done in pencil with Tria colors. The clothing is more like the first sketch, while the hair is Sandman inspired. — June 2001
A chibi version of Dir en grey's lead singer, Kyo, done with ink on spiral paper during class. — October 2001
A chibi version of Dir en grey's lead singer, Kyo, as he appeared in the music video of "Ain't Afraid to Die." — October 2001
A ballpoint lighting experiment featuring X-Men archvillain Dark Phoenix. — October 2001
Dalamar from Dragonlance, with much fuller hair than I envisioned. — October 2001
Design concepts for my prom dress, which I designed myself but had made by a local seamtress. I wanted a medieval-influenced look. — Late 2001
More design concepts for my prom dress, incorporating EGL and medieval influences. — Late 2001
Speaking of EGL, this is a Mana-inspired Elegant Gothic Lolita girl. — Early 2002
An unfinished illustration of Harry Potter's Ginny Weasley, much taller than the petite girl should be and with the wrong eye color as well. Colors by Tria markers. — Late 2003
A quick gift sketch for Sarah Clarke featuring Pintel from Pirates of the Caribbean. — Late 2003
Experimenting with how to render red hair and side lighting in colored pencil. — Early 2004
