Brightly coloured faces!
And then there’s Joe.
Hi! This is a small, brightly coloured, neatly arranged sample of sketches that I accomplished at school or related to school, as these are on mini-flashcards. The blue and green ones are on Latin flashcards; the pink ones are when I decided to devote a whole pack of these to drawing – they come on a handy ring, even. Continue reading
BOBBLEHEADS?
Ahahaha, I like these guys. On the top left! We have Joe the Elf, looking waaaay too over-excited as usual. Next to him is his buddy/bunkmate/roommate/fellow soldier Doug, who is actually much too smart for Joe and beats on him verbally a lot, and who was resurrected by Sam at some point in the past. Next on the right is Steve, the cheerful Tiranoc Chariot driver who joins the team and is basically the group’s transportation. On the bottom left is Sam, the lovely lady mage who gives Joe a reason to show off. And last is Hercules, who is not an elf, but he’s so tough he doesn’t care.
Hercules was inspired by a five-minute MST3K clip on YouTube of the movie of the same name. Hercules basically is da tuff guy, and in this little roleplay, his primary role is to punch Joe. In the head. Repeatedly. He gets killed by a random ballista in an orchard, and then his ghost comes back and bothers Joe.
All these people are from a random Warhammer-themed roleplay my brother and I did. To read part of the plot, go to the previous picture (which is in a more ‘serious’ style, for irony).
I think the art style of this was partly inspired by the angel webcomic Paradis, with its oversized eyes and wacky eyebrows.
Hey! Your hair is longer than mine! <3
Who are these crazy people? I’ll tell you. The guy on the right is Joe the Elf, a Warhammer High Elf who is highly emotional, crazy spastic, and amazingly good at combat even though he’s still only at picture books despite being an adult. The girl on the left is his true love, Sam (Samantha), a very powerful magegirl who is sweet and intelligent and calm(er).
Once upon a time, Joe was stationed at a fort on the sea. Some orcs attacked! Joe lost his captain, whom he called Boss (but his captain gave him all his stuff like his magic sword with his dying breath) and also his bunkmate Doug, and his captain, with his other dying breath, charged him to go to the capital and warn the king. Joe ran through the woods, meeting a Tiranoc chariot driver named Steve (nice elvish names, hey?) who drove him to the next town on the way, a big huge useless gate. There he met Hercules in the inn, but he ran away (Joe, that is) after he got punched in the face. To this day, Joe still whimpers and hides when anyone mentions Hercules. Then he wandered around until he met Sam and convinced her to join the party.
Yay?
Joe has ridiculously long (like, Sephiroth-long) blonde hair. You’ll be seeing him at least once more, so stay tuned.
