Today’s Alex’s Guide is the smooshy, mooshy geek love edition. To tell a LOVE STORY SO EPIC, I expanded to TWO PIECES OF PAPER. *jazz hands*
I’m very happy with how this comic turned out, though. ^_^ Thursday is our 5th anniversary, and I don’t work Thursday or Friday, so we get to spend some time together. <3

Did this last month and kind of forgot about it, so I didn’t post it anywhere until now. ^_^;; Years ago, I designed the program for my sister’s wedding, as well as the cover art. Awhile back, one of my sister’s friends contacted me to commission art for her own wedding program, and here we are.
Today’s comic actually went up on time, thanks to its simplicity.
But I’m not gonna lie. There are some tear stains on the pencils for this one.

Pressure sensitivity restored! Huzzah! And this is officially the very first, completely finished piece of Hues concept art.
I haven’t done a piece in my signature style in a VERY long time. It feels good! I’m not even at the place where I can decide what style I’m going to be using for the comic pages, but I may just throw caution to the wind again and do everything in this style like I did with Garanos. If you haven’t read Garanos, you should follow this finely crafted link and read my epic fantasy comic: http://www.garanos.com
LINES ARE FOR CHUMPS, HMMPH!

A picture of Sami I drew on Friday while I was out working at the coffee shop! I’m going to work on a colored version tonight while I think up ideas for tomorrow’s Alex’s Guide.
I based the pose off this stock image by SenshiStock. I find it useful to just browse through her gallery and find something to inspire a drawing.
Reblogging for my fat posse to see!
I’M OUT, FOLKS. Time for cake!
A rough lineup of the Hues. This is my response to what kinds of shapes should be represented in media.
(Hint: the correct answer is “all of them”.)
Coming in 2012, y’all.
My submission for Love Your Body Day 2011. Amanda of Love Your Body Detroit sent me a silver piggy bank, and I transformed it into Hyacinth, the fat ballet-dancing hippo from Disney’s 1940 film, Fantasia!
I was a little distraught that I had to give her away, but I’m so happy with how she turned out, and I have ideas on how I could have improved it, so I may make another one.
Her snout and cheeks were sculpted right onto the piggy with Sculpey, baked, and then she was primed and painted with acrylics. Her little back feet have a coat of gold glitter nail polish for the ballet slippers, just because. Then I sprayed her with an aerosol satin sealing spray, and hot-glued on her tutu material with gold glitter hot-glue. The material is actually a Disney-branded trim, too!
Aside from some touch-ups and sealant, Steve? is done being painted! XD
Here’s a mockup for a Steve? figure I’m going to make out of a blank Mighty Muggs doll.
