Good Grief, It's December

Yes, believe it or not, I actually drew in my sketchbook last night. I'm trying to finish it off by the end of the year so I held myself at metaphorical knifepoint yesterday until I'd filled four pages ... mostly rubbish, of course, but there were a couple worthwhile doodles. The one above happened when I asked my sister what to draw, and she said 'a penguin pirate.' It was only at her insistance that I added the pantaloons, which I now think are the best part.

A scalbie ... probably too cute. I like corvids, dangit.

Brutha in the desert ... there's a smiling sun with sunglasses included in that drawing but I cut it out. Might add it back in. I can't help feeling I've drawn someone else in this exact attitude before...

Inspired by some responses to my post yesterday. Sorry for butchering your Lucius, Makani ... the only reference I had at the time was that post-drunken-party picture which I found felicitously wedged in my sketchbook last night.

You just can't make this stuff up ... well, okay, maybe you can.
RUSSIAN SQUIRRELS ATTACK DOG
There's got to be a gag in there involving Rocky vs the Dirty Commie Rodents...

Date: 2005-12-01 06:21 pm (UTC)HA! Lucius' hair is brilliant! But I wanna know where in Canon does it state that Voldemort is hairless. He had great hair when he was young, so who's to say he doesn't have any now? I used to draw him with a double-pointed goatee remenisent of a forked tongue, until I saw the movie. :/

In my neighborhood, there's a flock of feral Hill Mynahs. Those are hillarious -- they make the cutest little noises and they fear nothing.

Did you cut out a lot of the Voldemort drawing? Or just he lower bodies? Could you possibly email it to me so I can see it? Or perhaps load it onto your photobucket and link the image to me?

If you didn't scan it don't worry about it...I figured you cropped it in Adobe Photoshop or something...
As you wish

Date: 2005-12-01 11:14 pm (UTC)Lovely!
Date: 2005-12-02 01:21 am (UTC)And the HP one is awesome. Made me giggle. Something about his smirk is bugging me though...It's like, curving up really sharply or something...Whatever. I'd love to see a hair-prettiness battle against Lucius and Legolas.

Date: 2005-12-02 09:22 pm (UTC)I think Legolas would win, because
a) his hair is longer
b) he runs around and fights things and stuff whereas Lucius just kind of stands there being evil, so Legolas's prettiness is harder to achieve.
Though Lucius might get more points for being more interesting...
