Hot-headed in love!

Give this to your Valentine if you want to get punched in the face.

It’s still January where I am! So I don’t consider this to late.

Anyhoo, much to everyone’s dismay, I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and post a February calendar that’s also a set of Squires of Dimness Valentines!

Download and enjoy! Give these Valentines to your loved ones, or in many cases, your enemies!

As always, let me know if there’s a problem downloading it – unless that’s good news?

Year-End Year Zero Squires and more RGB fanart

Squire C and Squire D in NIN Year Zero uniforms

Don't look too excited, boys.

It’s the end of the year and another end to another Moleskine. While all the pages of the last large Moleskine are filled, I went back to finish, color, or touch-up favorite doodles.

The drawings I wanted to finish most were in the first few pages where each of the Squires of Dimness were drawn wearing NIN Year Zero uniforms. Earlier, I’ve scanned 3/4 of them- while a few were unfinished, and many of them scattered on either flickr or deviantART.

Squire D was the last finished drawing in this “set” because I couldn’t decide on his pose. I really don’t want to go through the whole “loosely based on former members of Nine Inch Nails and their up-to-date lineups” explanation. Yes, Squire D is loosely based on Jerome Dillon and, yes, I’m aware that Dillon WASN’T in the lineup during Year Zero. Having just three of the four Squires felt incomplete. Plus, I thought it was just plain cool to have Squire D in the getup.

Anyway, all four of them are finished and scanned. Have at it!

What did YOU do, Peter?

Another bit I went back to finish was this Real Ghostbusters fan comic. This nonsense came about after watching this video and watching my RGB DVDs and thinking how much harassment goes on in that cartoon (doesn’t Slimer try a little too hard to get chummy with Venkman?).

For once my version of Dr. Venkman is being vocal. Sort of. By means of pictures and punctuations! This can’t end well for either him or his uppity secretary. I have WAY too much fun drawing these guys! Don’t know if I’ll “squire-ize” Stanz and Zeddemore anytime soon, though. It would be fun to have all of them nag on their fearless leader!

Last post of 2009! Plugging my cheap calendar once more ;). May we all have a creative 2010!

Autumn Fun

Autumn Fun

*ANGRY ITALIAN* You are to be cleaning that up!

It surely doesn’t feel so much like autumn these days and I’m not exactly sure if winter officially started. Has it? I’m sure it has since it certainly feels like it has!

To keep this blog warm – here’s a Prismacolor doodle I scanned a while ago when it was actually autumn, but didn’t bother t blog about it until now. Back when the air was crisp, cool, pumpkins were on sale,  and the weather was not so butt-numbingly cold as it is now, I was inspired to break out the colored pencils and doodle according to the season.

So check it out and see Squire C be his usual hot-headed self while the youngest Squire frolics among the crunchy, freshly raked leaves.

And do you need a calender? Just for January 2010? Because I can’t guarantee a February calendar yet.

Happy 2010 from the Squires of Dimness!

Hold still, will ya?

It’s been a chilly month on this poor blog! That’s either a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it.

But anyway, being currently on winter break from the daily grind found me lots of time for some doodling (after Christmas shopping, hanging out and catching up, etc.). And – yay! – the one new doodle I could come up with was for the January 2010 calendar:

January 2010 Calendar

Calendar?! Again? Didn’t I, like, stop after March last year? Since New Year’s is always about making resolutions no one ever follows through with, mine will be posting SoD calendars until April. Well, let’s hope *crosses fingers* for an entire year.

So check it out and see how Squires Thorn and White utilize Squire C’s face for celebrating New Years!

In other doodly doodle news – I broke out the Prismacolors and finished this piece of Real Ghostbusters fanart.  Here, poor Venkman’s putting up with his colleague reminding him of his genius while satisfying his sweet tooth. I never was crazy about Egon’s hair in the cartoon, but I’ve found it pretty fun to draw.

If you haven’t noticed from my previous RGB fanart, I’ve grown a penchant for making Egon an annoying genius while Venkman’s stuck being the silent, but disgruntled, leader.

Oh, Venkman. One of these days.

Anyhoo, Happy Holidays! Enjoy the calendar and may your New Year be prosperous and creative!

As always – any problems downloading the calendar, please let me know :).

More old Mini Squires added to comic page

Eh? It is being ironed, bambino.

Because that new comic I’m currently working on …um…won’t be posted anytime soon, I thought I’d keep this blog warm by adding more of the old comics. Head over to the Squires of Dimness comics page to see the latest additions – Laundry Woes 2 and 3 (smartly placed UNDER the first Laundry Woes).

Forgive the horrible organization. I’ll get my shtuff together sometime! And I’m still figuring out a way to post the regular length comics. I guess it’s about time I buy my own space! But anyhoo, enjoy for now!
