Orphan Squad

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 4:23 PM
Managed to have some downtime this week(much to my surprise) before this weekend's cooking spree. My art muses were kicking me in the shebs after I read ImpCom(no spoilers, but a good read for Omega fans!), so I managed to get Orphan Squad together.

I drew them on cardstock as usual, but instead of colored pencils, I tried out some markers I picked up at this year's comic con. They're not Prismacolors, but some sort of professional-type markers made in Japan by the name of Copic. One end is an angular type head like a highlighter, while the other is a nifty brush tip that works very much like an actual paintbrush, but without the mess.

I absolutely LOVE these markers. They do a MUCH better job than the usual schoolhouse markers I'm used to working with in the rare moment I feel like coloring with markers. Save for when my black marker was dying out on me while working on Scooby, the lines blended almost seamlessly and oh so smoothly.

Though I have to add a mild artist's apology. First off, poor Scooby wasn't smoothed out completely due to a dying black marker. Secondly, on Jare the pilot, I couldn't get the darn grid lines out of his yellow areas. I'll have to go over it another time when I have more time on hand to use hubby's computer and get it Photoshopped out.

And thirdly, yes, the backgrounds were digitally added on my computer. I couldn't help it. There was too much white, it was blinding, especially on Kama and Uj. So I snuck a mild grey in there to ease off the blinding white shade of the cardstock. ;)

I gave a short little backstory to each of them, as well as the year of their adoption, but I do intend to post longer backstories for them. I just didn't have time to do it today between rounds of baking pumpkin pie and bread. :drool:

So for now, enjoy what I've posted of them so far. It's a good introduction. Perhaps after the busy weekend, I'll dig up my photos of their plushie namesakes to post as well. :)
