Cthulhu vs Halloween

I'm such a terrible blogger.... Halloween was so 5 days ago...

Happy Halloween!

LOL Jks. Let's smash everyone's house in...

Introducing - Cthulhu and Friends: Seaside Squad

They're tough, mean and salty!

They're always ready for action! They come out of the deep to destroy seaside villages (assholes!) ...

To the left we have Finkle the half fish and half humanoid, his special power is spitting poisonous and corrosive gloop at his victims. His favourite colour is aubergine.

To the right it's Clipper the giant lobster (he tastes nice with butter and garlic), he cuts his victims up with his mighty claws. He's also good at checkers.

And our hero, Cthulhu, he can fly, swim and also write poetry. He's always ready to squish you with his monstrous (and adorable) feet yay!

Cthulhu VS Godzilla

When I mean versus I mean join forces to destroy all mankind.

Both of these were entered into Lovecraft Competition on Sketch Club. The introduction picture came 7th place and the comic came 2nd place! Yay <3 I love Sketch Club.

I'm hoping to do more of these randomly. I have one ready to upload on Halloween. I would like to know if people are interested in seeing more from Cthulhu and Friends! 

Sketch Club has taken over me!

In a good way of course!

What can I say, I love drawing and I think finding this app has truly changed my life for the better. There is so much art that needs to be expressed from my mind.

I've been doing a LOT of Adventure Time fan art for people. Basically I just draw them as an Adventure Time character with their pet and fav animal as a hat.

You can seee from the first one that it's a little sloppy, but only because I was drawing myself for the dailly challenge. Then I got some requests, and because I'm a kind soul I said 'Sure, I'll Adventure Time you".

You can see the progression of each one you can see that I'm improving on style. I've laid them out from the first to last. :)

I haven't used a reference for any of these drawings. I'm pretty happy the way they've all come out, so that'd a good thing... I guess.

Well on a side note, I bought Gears of War 3, and I'm looking forward to playing it. I've always been a fan of the series and I hope that its a good ending and not a let down. I kind of follow the story for this one. Halo series on the other hand does nothing for me, I mean I watch the cut scenes and its like..

my halo cut scene face

then when the cut scene finishes I'm like. YES!! back to the shooting and the jumping and I don't know where I'm going but I'll just kill these alien jerkfaces. Don't get me wrong I love playing Halo, but I just don't know why it has the effect on me. The only Halo game that actually registered in my brain was ODST... I know right?

Anyway, I'm updating my iphone to the new iOS5 and its just annoying me. Now I best go draw something on SC because that's how I roll. 

Until next time :)

Sketch Club

Before I begin, I would just like to warn you. If you have an iphone/ipod/ipad and haven't got the sketch club app and after reading this you think "hey, I think I'll check it out and download it" - just be pepared to be completely addicted and lose touch with reality. You have been warned.

OK! HELLO, it's been a while hasn't it. Yeah, I get lazy and bored when it comes to updating blogs. But, I think this post will explain a lot and why I've been neglecting everything...

Who's up for a story?? oh oh pick me!!... Oh alright, gather around my lovelies, it's time to hear how my life (as The Prince from Bel-Air would put it) flip-turned upside down!
 

Nik Nak and the App

Once upon a time there was a unihorse named Nik Nak and she seems to get board quite easily. One boring night in particular, Nik Nak was browsing the app store when she came across something that looked rather neat.

Was it the sketch club app?...

Oi, shut up. I'm telling story, I'm getting to it!

As I was saying. Nik Nak doesn't usually purchase apps because she's a cheap ass, but after seeing that there's a social club which people can see the artwork you upload, well she was indeed sold. "SOUNDS GOOD!" she screamed as she tapped the button to purchase said app.

This story's booooring.

If you don't want to listen then go outside and play with the traffic!... Hey! get back here!

Bloody hell

Right where was I? Err.... The end.

Happy now, you ruined the ending!

Anyway, for people that might care. SKETCH CLUB! What an app! This is possibly my most favouritest app in the entire world. The people are amazing and they give you so much encouragment!

If you haven't seen or bought the app, I would whole heartly recommend it. My account is - Unihorse

I'll post a few artworks I've created. Enjoy! :D

ADVENTURE TIME!!!

Vector Art

Vector art has become something I love doing. Ever since I've taught myself Illustrator I've become so attached to this program. I'm still learning as I go and I can't get enough. 

As you may have noticed I've been creating a lot of designs for t-shirts. Mmm, I do get obessed easily! :(

Well anyway, I would like to share some of my designs. I hope you like them! :)

HillBilly Sunrise

Derp!

Description: I originally had a design that I submitted to Threadless, however it was rejected as they seemed it needed some refining of the design. It had a line of lions with a zebra in the middle being a douche. At the top of the design there was a yellow circle depicting the sun (no, GTFO serious?). Well I thought I would upload my image to deviant art so I decided to make a face on the sun. My boyfriend came into the room and said 'DERP!' I had a cute face on the screen and so because of this said 'derp' I was inspired and decided to design the sun in a more 'Southern American hillbilly' look.

As for the hills, I just wanted them to be sad that the hillbilly sun is rising once again which makes their mornings unbearable. 'OMG, he's coming again!'.... 'HERP A DERP!'

Narwhal, Narwhal, Unicorn?

blub blub blub!

Description: Originally the unicorn was underwater snorkelling stabbing a swordfish thinking, 'how the fuck did I get here?' It was a drawing I was trumping another member of Very Serious forums in the 'draw something in MS paint' thread (my most favouritest thread in the world).

"Shanky the Swordfish" Drawn by Genia

"Shanky's death" Drawn by Unihorse (me)

I grew to actually really liking the way I drew the unicorn and decided to redaw it in illustrator and come up with the idea of the unicorn thinking about being a Narwhal.

I posted the design on threadless thinking it would do okay, but it only made the 24 hours and was taken off voting early as it didn't have the best rating. How unfortunate...

Finally I came to thinking that people might like the unicorn swimming with a pod of his brother (from another mother) the Narwhal. I went with a 3 to 4 colour print colours and actually submitted it to Teefury as well. *crosses fingers*

You can also see it on my deviant art account here.

 

Eye Heart Ewe

I love you.

Description:It began with a plank of wood with a nail leaning against a rock to make the 'I' but I looked at it and thought it had nothing to really do with the image. I replaced it with a cut little eyeball with a green iris (I thought the green helped with taking away some of the focus from the heart so you look at it second after looking at the heart). I don't really know how I came up with it but I don't mind it, the ewe's face it quite derp.

Undead Unicorn Attack

Huuuurrrrr!

Description: I hadn't created a fanart in some time and I felt like going with a Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare crossed with Robot Unicorn Attack piece. Having John Marston riding a unicorn is amazing in the game, but the unicorn lacked rainbows (needs rainbow hair like Robot Unicorn). I kept the butterflies from RDR:UN because they're pretty. I like pretty things. 

I thought instead of the star it can be a silhouette of a zombie and they're getting ready to blast through the zombie. ^_^

I [FEZ] Black Ops

Description: I designed it for a friend. I actually haven't played COD: Black Ops yet. *Slaps wrist* shame on me! I would assume his persona image is a fez, but that's just a guess. ANYWAY, I'm not sure if I can submit this as a threadless image, I would assume it would breach copywrite laws or some shit.  I might go somewhere else and post it on Cafe press or whatever the hell that site is.... google will help me. :D

MajesticShark Vs RegalOctopus

A design that I first drew it MS Paint. See the original below;

The story behind this picture is;

- I was bored at work and I didn't have Photoshop at the time. (I find it easier to draw in MS with the mouse anyway, less mistakes!)

- I watched Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus the night before and though it was a pretty awful movie.  The best part was when the shark jumped up at the plane. So realistic! Shut up, it really happened!

- I already had an octopus character (BELVIDERE!!!) and he is rather regal so why not use him in some way! :D

Well I've submitted a few t-shirt designs to Threadless and though I might redraw this in Illustrator... So I did. 

I've submitted it to Threadless as a critique, only because the last time I submitted something they rejected it and said, "next time you should critique because your design needs more work, jackass." (say what?)

Righto! Well this if the design below, let me know what you think! should I submit it straight away or does it need some work?

Majestic Shark VS Regal Octopus

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded this to you. 

Done :)

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

If you insist... There are many things about myself that aren't that interesting. Not sure what to say...

I love my job. I work in the promotional product industry, if I'm lucky I create a new logo for a company which is so much fun,

I love to draw and create stories, which is pretty obvious *stares at blog* DERP!

I love to play video games. It releases stress and makes me happy!

I wouldn't say I'm very social, which is sad because I would like to be. 

I suffer from anxiety attacks which are triggered from vomiting *thumbs up*

Ten pin bowling is one of my favourite sports to play. Weird sport, yo.

I love guinea pigs, I had 2, but 1 died yesterday, her name was Olivia and she was adorable. RIP <3

Oakie Dokes!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

On a side note, since I'm posting. I've read up on a few news reports recently on news.com.au. (uh oh, I feel a rant coming on)... I'm talking about Political Correctness, it's something that has been pissing me off for quite some time now.
The classic nursery rhyme 'Bah bah black sheep' will be changed to 'Bah bah rainbow sheep' now I'm all up for rainbow coloured whatever, but teaching children rainbow sheep instead of black sheep is ridiculous. You can read the article here >> LINK <<


Think back to, lets say, grade 2, the teacher is rehearsing 'Bah bah black sheep'. Did you ever think 'hey, that sheep is black, I feel offended by this!' No you didn't because you're there singing along with the teacher or sitting there not paying attention because school is for squares. Kids don't care about this crap. Seriously. 


So in dedication to my hatered for politically correct things. I have drawn a picture.Enjoy!

My bags bring all the sheep to the yard, and there like ' >_> '
