Inspired by various “Improvement” pieces that’ve been popping up on my dash in the last week I pulled out an old piece from 2008 and I’m doing a new version of it.

Today we’ve got another digital sketch and another “What I Wore”
This outfit is way more typical of my usual day to day wear than the “Disney Look” office outfit from Tuesday.

Today’s sketch is actually a little digital doodle of what has to be the most interesting commission I’ve ever gotten.
A friend of mine wants a coat of arms for her and her husband and told me that they had discussed it and come up with the idea of “a siberian husky with a slice of pizza in its mouth, riding a surfboard through space.”
How could I resist that?  I’m trying to play the husky in the pose of the traditional lion rampant, but that’s pretty much where any sense of traditionalism stops.

Since it’s Mother’s Day I thought I should do a topical sketchbook page.  So have Toph and Lin Bei Fong.  Instead of flowers Lin gives her mom high quality rocks.

I can’t really show you today’s sketchbook page because it’s the initial sketch for a commission I’m working on, but here’s a teaser.
I get commissioned to draw a lot of cuddly romantic stuff.

Today’s sketchbook page is actually a sketch commission for a friend of mine.  She asked for a drawing of her Commander Shepard with her love interest Garrus and I was happy to oblige.

Not too pleased with today’s sketchbook page. 
More Avengers though, because the two non-superpowered master assassins are my favorite.

I was really fond of that sketchbook page from yesterday so I cleaned it up in Photoshop and slapped on some flat colors.
