I got a couple prompts for Kara, Grant and puppies so: voilà. :o)

Renegades series on AO3

I'm really happy with how this turned out. :) I asked for prompts and got so many different character suggestions that I thought, why not do an ensemble piece.

(no character hate in comments please.)

Here's a colored version of this pic... I also like it, but the b/w version looks more noirish to me. :)

Been a while since I posted here... let's see if I remember how it works ;)

I already posted this one, but since I'm between jobs atm, I used the time to fix some older fanart. In this case, I gave Kara Palamas her real face... something that had bugged me to no end.



note: I love Kara Palamas and Grant Ward and will be forever bitter about the way canon treated them. I don't want to discuss it here and I don't want any comments dissing any of the characters in this pic. (aos is the kind of fandom where you need to state this)

The feedback for my inks came back and I got no corrections! Yes! And the inks are already incredibly detailed, which should make coloring that much easier.

While I waited for the fb, I made fanart... plotless fluff, as an antidote to painful canon. Part of my Wardlok verse (Though the puppy looks like a different breed; I wasn't very concerned with continuity. I just want Ward to have a dog really.)

—What do you mean the vigilante lifestyle is not the right way to raise a puppy?

Well, here it is: a mock comic cover for my Season Two Wardlok headcanon, based on some intriguing speculation I’ve seen here. (X)

If anyone wants to write a fic based on this pic, please do! (Unless you dislike Grant Ward, should be needless to add.)

I had Monday off so I drew this Ward character study because feelings, sigh. The lineart is marker/ink brush, coloring is colored ink with a layer of pastel on top for the highlights.
I have a couple more sketches as WIP, just the lineart, and I'll probably use them to experiment more because I haven't got that coloring technique down yet. I used to work a bit with pastel crayons in college and found it a lot easier then. Maybe crayon is just tricky in portraits; anyway, I find it super hard to control. I had to do quite a few adjustments in PSP. But I want to start with a dark wash and then add lighter layers; it seems appropriate, thematically.

In other news, today I decided I will (ta-daaa!) buy a new bike. I realized I have been having this one for over ten years, which explains why it's become so crappy and sluggish. I did some quick math: this bike must have about 25,000 km under its tires. All my previous ones have been stolen within two years, so I never had to deal with an ageing bycicle. And I always got to buy the new one with the insurance money from the last one, so technically I haven't spent any money on a bike since 1994 or so.
I'm very much looking forward to this!

Hm, so I'd like to do a fake comic cover for SHIELD. Anyone got prompts? (My favorites to draw are May and Ward, so one or both of them should be in the scene.)

Ming-Na Wen has retweeted that fanart of May and Ward I made. I'm swooning a bit here.
(Which reminds me that I haven't actually posted that art to DW. Third one in this post, I'll link it properly later.)

And for some not so great art: The Best of the Worst Logo Designs
Ouch.

This one’s inspired by sqbr’s prompt "Skye watches May beat Ward during a sparring match :)": Ward asks May to wipe the floor with him for a martial arts demonstration for Skye.

Skye's thinking she might be next... ;)

For a prompt from oxoniensis: “I think some sort of daring rescue would be fun, Ward hanging out of a helicopter holding onto Skye and looking either mad or worried for her, while she’s calmly working on her laptop midair.”

Preview:



(I took some liberty with the prompt: Skye’s got a Starkpad or something ‘cause that’s easier to hold in one hand… and Ward’s actually not looking too worried here, because the situation looks pretty much under control, don’t you think? ^^)

Medium: Pencil sketch on acetate matte film, printed onto watercolor paper and colored with watercolors/ecoline

... for a prompt by ratcreature, who wanted “something Jurassic Park like because dinosaurs are always fun, i.e. someone thought reanimating dinosaurs was a brilliant idea and SHIELD has to deal with it getting out of hand.”

next up: some Agents of SHIELD fanart, if all goes well and I can figure out where to go with that scene I’m scribbling. :)

Okay yes, I blatantly mixed movie- and comicverse here... ;)

Originally posted at Dreamwidth. Comments:

All right! *rubs hands* Looks like I got time for fanart now so I'm looking for prompts: Agents of SHIELD primarily, since I already have a bunch of older Avengers prompts I can tackle (but if you got something Nat&Clint you'd like to see, I'm always open to that as well). Hawkeye comicverse is also cool.

As for SHIELD, I'm most interested in Skye & Ward. And May. And also May & Coulson together. I don't really do overt romance, kissing, or domestic scenes, but I can bring the UST. Just like to mix in a bit of action, if possible, 'cause that's always fun to draw. :)
