User blog:Freefalling Lilacs/Doodle Requests and a TDI:FYE Sketch Dump

I was debating on if I should post this now or later in the week, but I’m up for a challenge and decided why not do it now? Pretty much my friend Jermaine showed me this thing called a tablet, which can be used for drawing on the computer without having to use a scanner (though he personally used it for animation). I thought that was pretty cool, and then I found out my cousin actually had one that he wasn’t ever going to use. So I asked him for it and now I’m trying to figure out how to use this thing.

So I decided what better way to try this lovely new tool out than to attempt to draw some non-TDI style Total Drama Island: For Your Entertainment sketches? I’d mentioned before that I’ve always wanted to put up some drawings here of the characters in my style, and now I finally can. So…



(It's not at full size, but pretty close.) I think you should be able to recognize everybody but the first character if you follow the story, but from left to right: a secret character, Irina, Robert, and Ophelia in the top row, and Minerva, Wes, Elena, and Gabe in the second. Only Gabe and Elena are colored out of those because I'm not very good at coloring. (Oh, and if you think that Gabe and Elena picture kind of makes them look like a couple, they're not, but 'ship them all you want.)

Across the bottom are really sketchy little figures based off of Owen's drawings from "Oh, My Izzy". The characters are dressed up as overexaggerated versions of either their stereotype or their role in the story. So from left to right there's Ophelia the angel, Robert the confused jock, Allison the punk, Wes the hippie musician (which is supposed to represent being a peacemaker), Minerva the flamboyant loudmoth (notice the rainbow dress?), and Eric the gangster.

I'll probably be making more of these for my characters, but I'm actually thinking about doing something special for a limited time. I need practice with drawing in Photoshop, and wanted some new appearances to work with. So pretty much if you have a character or two that either has a really cool design or that you'd just really like to see drawn, I would love to do a doodle of them for you. I'll probably be drawing only characters from the neck up (like the ones seen here) unless I feel like drawing the rest of their body, and color is unlikely. I can't promise that all of them will be done, and this is kind of a limited time offer, but I need something to do in my spare time other than write and this is really fun for me. So if you'd like to see one of your characters in a non-TDI style, feel free to comment here or on my talkpage of which one.

(Oh, and the next chapter of TDI:FYE should be out really soon for anybody who's been waiting for it.)
