I love you and yet I hate you

Damn you Bourdain. Your traipsing around the world had rendered me unable to sleep so I am up at this ungodly hour. And in mere hours I will have to go to work for it is already Monday, probably fueled by an uninspired, insipid breakfast while you feast away on pasta slathered with sauce concocted from roasted tomato on a balcony facing the ocean in Sicily. I hate you, Bourdain (but I love you too. Such a complicated emotion it is).

To make matters worse, my cat is trying very hard to occupy my workspace by sitting on my tablet and hooking a paw over my working hand. I am only tolerating her because she recently had her uterus and Falllopian tubes removed and is wearing a pathetically hilarious cone over her head. Only this time, kitty.

Random colour sketch rendered in Photoshop. Testing out that whole colour in grayscale first then overlay colour in different layer thing.

Detail of her face.

Bourdain is My Bane

You know that show 'No Reservation'? Where celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain traipse around the world and partake in the cuisines with wanton abandon? (he was less enthusiatic with the fermented shark in Iceland.. but still ..) It makes me hate him because I am practically chartreuse with envy. Yes! Not merely green, but chartreuse! It takes a special kind of jealousy to be able to turn into a specific hue of green.

What's worse is that after a session of the show, I'd be left with tantalizing images of gorgeous food which sears itself into my mind, and I'd go home to salvage a kitchen which yields nothing but instant noodles (onions included if one is feeling fancy).

INTRO: The Office Hooch

...who is amazingly endowed and has the tendency to wedge herself between people who are in a relationship.

Darkstalker Babes

Made for the Udon Darkstalker competition but it didn't make it :( Ah well. It was such a rush job too. Serves me right to procrastinate XD

Before I forget, massive congrats to Zid and Laine for making the cut!

Drawn and coloured entirely in Photoshop.

Characters are from the Darkstalkers video games by Capcom, so pleasedonotsuekillormaimthankyou :)

INTRO: The Sibling

...who holds a dark, dark secret.

Oh looky! It's Friday the 13th today. Anyone crossed a black cat yet? Nearly been hit by car for at least 5 times consecutively since you woke up? Got mugged and accidentally tasered yourself when you're trying to accost said mugger? I myself had fallen sick today with the flu - it's lucky in the fact that I don't have to go to the office but unlucky in the sense that getting sick as an adult sucks way more than when you were a kid.
And I haven't posted for about a week when I said I'm going to post regularly! So much for keeping to my words...

My Cat is Crazy

My cat is in heat now and is desperately horny. So desperate that she sprays places in the apartment (purpose is to leave her scent for male cats to follow, like a breadcrumb trail). When I clean up these 'marks', she sprays ME instead. It's like being peed on and I feel completely violated >.<

Time to get you snip-snipped, you shameless hussy!

Where's the Scones

..and clotted cream and tea cakes and little cucumber sandwiches?

INTRO: The Angry Octopus

An angry octopus with hypertension wielding a hapless carrot by means of weapon.

INTRO: The Tech Lady & The Superhero

Meet May Gene. Engineer by day...

Superhero(ine?) by night!

Much thanks to Felix Thoo who came up with the idea years ago :)

BA-BOOMPH

Morrigan, cuz everyone seems to be drawing Morrigan these days and I'm jumping on the wagon.

INTRO: The Overworked Designer

Every day, every weekend, every hour of the day. The chores are endless. There's no time for sleep, rest or love, Dr Jones! When will he ever get his break?

INTRO: The Protagonist and Chicken

Odd Sarah being spied by a dubious chicken as she walks back from the workplace she detests.

In case you're wondering, Odd Sarah is a whacked out story I've been developing since forever (make that, thought into conception eons ago, and sort of forgot about it despite always doodling Odd Sarah-esque non sequiteurs. Is this how you spell that last word?) Will post the very first drawing of Odd Sarah up here soon, and hopefully it will all make sense.

AWK!

I thought I can do another Odd Sarah drawing today but no such luck! Lots of things with dire deadlines coming up so those were first priority.

Have a busy bird instead!

INTRO: The Lady

A young working professional hooked on expensive coffee and doughnuts (though it's not apparent here). What role will she play in Odd Sarah's life?

One of those days

GUHHH

Gummy Teef

Happy New Year!

3 days late... but eh. I usher in this lonely art blog into the new year with a lame sketch. Will probably clean it up all nice and proper soon!

Slouch

I just got a fab new wing chair. Not as big as this one, but close. It will be a good place to cuddle in with a good book on a quiet night.
