{SKETCH REQUEST} Older Edith and Alan

Hello! 

I finally was able to finish this sketch request that Harriet suggested a while back. I kept going back and forth on the time period I would fast-forward to in the post-Crimson Peak world. The movie (according to wikipedia) takes place circa 1901...and I assume Edith is approx. 20+ years old...and so come 1930ish she'd be in her 50s or so? I don't math well...*stares at calcu...

Sketch Request for L.M. [long overdue!]

Poor L.M....I finished this long ago and only just NOW got a chance to post! Thank you so much for your patience and support <3 

Desperate Avengers Recruit! {for Jami}

Jami presented me with a fun challenge this month--what if TC got recruited by Nick Fury? I mean, they are running low on help these days, but the Avengers would have to be pretty desperate, I think. 

Regardless, it was fun to try and come up with his gimmick (not magical/powers etc, more of a grouchy, giant handyman/genius) outfit, etc. Also maybe he can conduct electricity for Thor which ...

The Prince (for L.M.)

Perfect timing with Mer-may! Thanks for the request, L.M.! 

ECCC prep crunch time!

Hello all--I just wanted to emerge from the con-crunch cave to say I am alive (well, mostly) and I will be at ECCC this upcoming weekend! How the time has flown. Are any of you all attending? 

Also, tax season... wow, hope you all made it through ok! That event ate into my work as well, although I am happy to report that I got my first tax return! 

Hope you all are doing well--an...

For Jami !

Sorry this took so long for me to do, Jami! I hope you enjoy it! <3 

The Beastly Host {for L.M!}

I miss drawing creature designs--thanks for the prompt and awesome references, L.M.!

Doctor Judi + Companion Sewell {for Jami!}

This was such a fun sketch idea and I had the best time messing around with Doctor Dame Judi Dench's outfit. I had to give her the cute plaid trousers of the earlier Doctors, that rad knit vest, scarf, etc...

Thanks for the prompt, Jami--I hope you like! <3 

Petz/Prizma {for L Marriot}

Here is a Belle Epoque-y Petz/Prizma a la Gibson for the charming L Marriot! I included an extra sketch for being so delayed! Apologies! 

I never got a chance to get into Sailor Moon (which makes no sense considering that it was Right up My Alley and that I lived in Japan...maybe I will get into it retroactively? Is that allowed?)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this L, and thanks for the su...

Cherik {for Aerliyah!}

Thank you for this sketch request, Aerliyah! I don't think I've ever done any actual fanart of the 90s miniseries before? I couldn't resist drawing an additional chibi or two once I got started haha. 

Speaking of which...I need to rewatch that soon...

Hope you like! <3 

Edit: idk why this post was originally titled "Cherokee". Autocrumpet strikes again.

Let's Dance--for L!

Poor TC...thanks for the fun request, L! <3 

What else is there? {for Robert}

"You should write an opera: 'How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less'"

I originally intended to just sketch this but then it got to be too much fun to try and imitate the style of the movie and draw over the backgrounds, haha! Oh man, I got a good laugh out of this--thanks for the request, Robert!

Hallmark Frankenstein {for Veronica}

OoOh Dreamweaverrrrr....Yeah so Hallmark Frankenstein is notorious for having the Least Ugly monster of all time--adds a whole new layer to Victor wanting to hide his dubious science fair project from the family 0)__(0

I don't have a lot of practice drawing Goss-Monster but I hope you like it, Veronica <3 

No Capes! {for Jami}

Christopher Lee Dracula/Edna Mode crossover for Jami! Poor Drac, he looks fabulous but he clearly hasn't payed attention to the rules of supernatural/superhuman fashion...

<3

The Baron for Ashlyn <3

I love cartoon cats but I absolutely struggle draw them for some reason? I clearly need more practice :,D Thanks for the prompt + the support, Ashlyn! I hope you like him (this movie is still on my to-complete list) <3

Glitter Girls (Christine + Radio Silence's Wren) for Vanessa!

Couple of crazy, curly-top band girls getting ready! Modern Christine would be all over the glitter and holo trends--Wren probably not as much, but glitter freckles could be the next Big Thing, right?

Thanks for your support, Vanessa! I love drawing your band kids <3 

Mrawl and Hisstine for Bees! <3

Ok, yes, the names are super cheesy...please forgive. Thanks for your support and for the fun drawing prompt! I decided that Christine would be a floofy Persian/Ragdoll mix and Raoul would be a lil' Sphinx (or Devon rex?). 

More request sketches on their way! 

<3 

(LOL I forgot to hit "publish on this yesterday"....*hangs head in shame*)

Audrey, Minnie, and Bitty for Jami <3

Some sweet angel puppies for Jami--I hope I did them some justice! Losing a family pet is so hard and you have all my sympathy and well wishes, Jami <3 

R+C + Molly + Murphy for Olivia!

Thanks for your support, Olivia! I hope you like it...I'm afraid Molly and Murphy don't really know how to be walked, per se--but they do enjoy being carried around like the spoiled little babies they are. Murphy takes two steps before quitting and demanding sustenance, ha! <3

I apologize for the social media silence lately! It has been pretty hectic and I've had some heavy art block lately. ...

Sketch request for Harriet <3

The prompt was "Raoul trying to paint Christine" and it somehow morphed into this corny scenario, haha. :,D 

I guess this is an AU where they both break away and take a much needed summer holiday to Perros? 

Mr. Steve Rogers for Jami! (Bonus Daniel Tiger)

Mr. Steve Rogers for Jami! I could find out where to put the helmet and shield so I gave him some puppet friends (also...Chris Evans is hard to draw, dear me :,)--I hope I did your idea some measure of justice.  <3 

I kind of want to see Steve host a Mr. Rogers episode now, haha! The theme is cheering up Bucky, I guess?

Hagrid and some Cryptids for Jami <3

Hagrid is officially adopting our cryptids now. I hope Hogwarts is prepared for Bigfoot sightings, mothman, and jackalopes. :,D

Thanks foryou support, Jami! I hope you like <3 

Attack of the Angry Smol {sneak peek}

Hello everyone! Hoo boy, this week is going by at an uncomfortably fast pace. I mean, I know yesterday was Monday but for me, Wednesday is the new Friday, haha (thanks, midterms). 

I am trying, trying to make two pages this week for a *whispers* two page update but...I'll be honest, I am feeling completely overwrought (again, thanks, midterms). I haven't said anything on the blog &nb...

halloween HALLOWEEN halloween (halloween)....

Well, this got beyond the pale of "sketch" a little but I was having so much fun, and Jami is a special patron so *shrug* what's a little extra holiday cheer?

I hope you all had a splendid weekend--I am getting ready to hunker down and do some more homework (hopefully gallery stuff) after a weekend of boiling cabbage for physics class. Boiled red cabbage is so pretty but...smells so...well, let'...

Giveaway Sketch 1 of 2--For Rowan!

I got carried away and did two give-away sketches hehe. Here is Rowan's request of Christine in a musical costume. The whole apple-thing takes on a new meaning with the whole "Eve" thing.... <3 

Enjolras for Alyssa!

What a beautiful boy! Thanks for letting me draw him--hope I did him justice! <3 

Raffle Sketch--Harriet!

Gee...its almost like she's doing it on porpoise.

Thanks for entering the sketch raffle, Harriet!  <3 

Masquerade Give-away + Patron deets!

Yay! The Give-away is live on tumblr! http://thedrawingduke.tumblr.com/post/146714924840/finally-i-have-been-plotting-and-planning-and

As I mention in the link above, all patrons have the option to have a cameo. {I think I already have Jami penciled in ...

Sweets for the sweet...for Natalie!

Haha, ok so I got a little carried away with this one! The original prompt was Cinnamon Raoul with a cinnamon roll but I had to add a bonus Daroga because I don't think Raoul even knows what a cinnamon roll is. Phil would never allow such culinary frivolity in his house! 

Anyway, thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy, Natalie! 

Erik + Puppy for Jami!

Ok, not technically a puppy. A puppy would be maybe the size of his hand, haha! But every dog is smol to a giant <3 

Thanks for the support Jami!
