The hardest characters for me to draw are Sydney and Waccoon. I've been trying to draw Sydney like how Coon drew him recently and I think this looks better than before I hope. For some reason I find Sydney's and Wac's head construction so complex or something. I think it's getting better... Jazz Pirate is hard to draw too.

Sydney @ Friday, September 27th 2013, 3:03 PM

I guess it is kinda hard when you consider they have wider faces, which I attribute to the bone structure of the canine jaw and skull. In all my years of drawing I've never truly pinned it down.

Sydney @ Friday, September 27th 2013, 3:05 PM

And here is my tarp toilet! And my tarp bookcase! And my tarp Cuisinart!

Waccoon @ Sunday, September 29th 2013, 1:32 AM

Sydney's head is difficult because the bridge of the muzzle is flat. It's easier to think of the skull more in the shape of a squirrel than a wolf. Nothing wrong with a unique design, but yeah, it's tricky.

From the front, Wac is actually very easy once you learn the lower curvature of the cheeks. His head is just a full circle. From the side things get tricky because the head makes no sense 3-dimentionally. I bought some modeling clay, and I really should make a proper model one of these days.

Sakana_Katana @ Sunday, September 29th 2013, 4:30 AM

That last panel demands the sound effect of "Dun, dun dunnnnnn!"

Sydney @ Sunday, September 29th 2013, 9:20 AM

Best reference I've found for the head and muzzle is here: http://tinyurl.com/kfzt48q The bridge of it flattens out right between the eyes down to the nose. And if you look here: http://tinyurl.com/ljko7fe I get his cheeks from all the fluff on either side. I'm just more cartoony.

Well, here is my first upload. I am new here, so I hope the picture doesn't break some laws, like being too weird or something. Drawn with Graf2X and I wasn't stoned, just a little inebriated. It is my first try at oekaki (I think it should be oekaki by technique).

Welcome to the oekaki, and if there are any laws against weirdness here, *I* sure don't know about them! This is a really great picture, I love the monochromatic illustration style. It's like a sepia-toned woodblock print!

Calli @ Monday, September 23rd 2013, 4:03 PM

groovy style!

pinderhooks @ Wednesday, September 25th 2013, 11:40 AM

This is nifty beyond nift

Brentos @ Friday, September 27th 2013, 12:16 AM

There used to be tons of wacked out psychedelic drawings here, anyone remember Fig? Thanks for bringing it back in such an awesome way! Welcome to this wacky place!

Sakana_Katana @ Sunday, September 29th 2013, 4:33 AM

This makes me wonder where NaniMoose has gone.

We demand more mooses! (And a shrubbery.) Ni!

Irrelevant @ Sunday, September 29th 2013, 8:08 AM

if there was a boundary line for 'weirdness' we'd probably have a contest or theme to see who could step as far over that line as possible, here.

i like this.. my first reaction was thinking it was so textured that i could almost smell him and the pipe.

Tha_Pig @ Tuesday, October 1st 2013, 9:11 AM

So trippy and sepia...

This is exceptionally excellent! It's even better if you imagine him walking backwards in this scene.

I seem to have layers again when I retouch something. Did you make any changes to web site Wac? If so then oh yeah.

Coon @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 7:07 AM

I'm so on the same page as this particular particulate! Personal space is essential. Also I'm hearing all of Di-Hunt's lines spoken in the Incredible Hulk's voice.

Brentos @ Friday, September 27th 2013, 12:31 AM

Oh yeah! I love it when people say what the voices sound like to them when they read this comic. I was going for something monotone and a little bit spaced out. The Hulk would definenately do the job...

Coon @ Friday, September 27th 2013, 7:43 AM

Like the Hulk if he was on Ambien!

The girl on the right is so yeah! Is she the girl they were experimenting on in the first panel?

Coon @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 6:52 AM

This looks really dramatic and neat! I actually got a huge laugh because after I read the title " i gave up, and started thinking of Richard Belzier, even though that's not his name" I was imagining the character on the far left saying it to the other two, and the whole thing took on a severely surreal mood.

In other words, good work!

pinderhooks @ Wednesday, September 25th 2013, 11:48 AM

She was obviously trekking around ice planet Hoth for too long and her Tautan died and she had to be rescued and put into the recovery tank in the Rebel base and treated by medical droid 21-B (not pictured).

Irrelevant @ Sunday, September 29th 2013, 8:05 AM

i like the other perceptions you guys have better than what i was aiming for in the beginning (and lost sight/track of)

I was originally trying to draw a parody of the outlaw star / uh, some other anime where the ship was navigated by a naked chick (or dude) in water in a tube, and was going to have a teddy bear and a little girl drawing graffiti, like faces around her bewbs, moustaches, etc... then i got frustrated with my mouse/oekaki skills and decided to do what... well, i like to look at, which is nice curves, even if i feel like i'm hacking at a drawing with random usage of the belzier curves. (i'm all law and order suv, drinking ice t, with my man richard belzier)

...i actually did know the history of the belzier curve, and how it was used in car design, at one point. I first saw it in i think deluxe paint 2 or whatever the precursor to deluxe paint was.

I've been up over 24 hours... still haven't retouched this.
thanks for the comments!

Coon @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 6:43 AM

Well if anyone ever complains you're putting their character through the wringer unfairly, all you have to do is point to this. That device could be renamed the Spanish Inquisition, because I doubt anyone has ever expected it!

Also the words "I don't know if I like that kind of individualism" written over a spread polar bear butt should be the emblem for something.

there's two of them now? i've missed a lot...

Brentos @ Sunday, September 8th 2013, 2:01 AM

There's actually three of them, Freedom, Enterprise and Credence. Freedom and Enterprise only appear shortly and were killed by Tex in a chain of events later described by Tex. It was kind of an unseen scene if that makes any sense. It's things like this that make my comics sometimes very difficult to follow.

Coon @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 7:01 AM

Still concealing the snootches, I see! No, I kid, I'm just riffing on what Pinderhooks said before. These are quite some winsome demonesses, and this has a nice album cover look to it.

With apologies to Douglas Coupland's J-Pod for the fourth panel. J-Pod is seriously the most hilarious novel I've ever read period. Oh Yeah!

I only read MicroSerfs, but yeah, he seems like a great writer

Brentos @ Sunday, September 8th 2013, 2:25 AM

I think Microserfs was a bit of a let down, not his best work but it seems to be his most well known. For a very strange read I think Girlfriend In A Coma is his most bizarre. Most of his stuff is awesome.

Coon @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 6:35 AM

I got a huge laugh out of the "OH YEAH" and "OH NOOOO" panels. XD Well actually the whole "Oh, VCL eh? ANAL CAVITY SEARCH!" bit.

So my tablet finally broke a while back, which means any kind of creative spark I might have had went to waste really quick. Tonight I decided to experiment a bit, so I went into Shi and tried to create something the way I did in the days before my first tablet. The majority of this was done with the Line/Freehand/Fill tools on a regular mouse, and like I predicted, it's crap.

I want to go back to my teenage years and kick myself in the teeth for thinking I was even passable.

pinderhooks @ Wednesday, August 28th 2013, 12:44 AM

What's the matter with it? It's a good solid drawing!
And drawn with a mouse, no less! Bonus!
I have to say though, I think you look better without that brown hair

Waccoon @ Wednesday, August 28th 2013, 5:16 AM

I still say if art is not a career choice, you should say to hell with it and just enjoy making art. So what if it's crap?

Art is fun as a kid because you haven't developed standards yet. Once you get "better", you're never happy with anything anymore and the magic is gone. Good ideas come from bad ones, so keep at it.

As for me, I just have other hobbies that take up all my time.

Brentos @ Sunday, September 8th 2013, 3:03 AM

I still remember when you were complaining about drawing with a mouse years ago and how some of the most excellent artists were commenting how they were doing their stuff with mouses. At the time I was drawing with a mouse too but I don't think I made a comment about how I too drew with a mouse because my aht isn't really that great to begin with, but I do remember thinking 'what's the big deal?' drawing with a mouse isn't that hard what's he complaining about?
Then I came back to Canada and wasn't on the internet for quite a while so I did some drawings here while at Tooth's house with his mouse. That's when I found out that all mouses are not created equal, he had a newer laser mouse and I was having a hell of a time drawing with it. I couldn't even draw circles with it, they were ending up as rounded-off squares and looked like shit. So I got to thinking that my mouse, which is one of the older ones, was manufactured back when they still made quality products which is probably why some of us never had a problem with drawing with a mouse. You probably had (or have) a crappy mouse. I feel your pain and know how frustrating it is trying to draw with a crappy mouse. But anyhow, this looks pretty good! You got the underlying posture down really good.

Brentos @ Sunday, September 8th 2013, 3:08 AM

PS: I still use my first mouse from my first computer! The finger roller doesn't work any more but it just moves around so nice I can't give it up. It's an old Compaq Presario mouse from 1999!

Coon @ Sunday, September 22nd 2013, 6:48 AM

I think you did good, especially if you were using a mouse! You're being quite hard on yourself. Besides, if you kicked yourself in the teeth as a teenager you'd just end up going "I wish I had my teef" in your post-teen years. You'd say it "teef" due to the missing teef.

I like to think I'm preaching to the choir here, that everybody that reads this already knows this. Like it should be pretty obvious to my fellow Deep Thinkers or something. But since America is behind such an iron curtain right now (and Canada for that matter...) I thought this page could be a little enlightening for somebody somewhere.

No punchline today because I rant out of panels.
