STEEL CITY, VEILED KINGDOM manuscript art challenge – Institute Lobby

Art

Sharpie sketch of like a skyscraper lobby full of cafe tables oh and also there is a sketch of a rabbit on a teleporter up aboveAbout This Project: The rough draft of STEEL CITY, VEILED KINGDOM came out to over 800 pages of paper. I finished the pencil edits eons ago, but since it felt wasteful to toss out all the reams, I’ve given myself a challenge: I’m going to draw my novel (kinda sorta). Whatever’s happening on the printed side gets drawn on the other side–action, characters, or scenery.
This shot: a rabbit teleportation demonstration, and some environment practice of the lobby where the main char escapes to (yeah the rabbit demo didn’t go over so well).

Sketch – Dragon queen and her hoard

Art

A dragon sitting in her hoard room. A monkey climbs on her and her vampire son looks onQueen Lumina in her hoard. Freehanded background, originally meant to practice her groomer monkey (who is too big). I drew the characters first, BAD ME. Also I LOVE HER STUPID HEAD it’s just a quick gesture from a taxidermy pic I had on my caveman phone.
Hope to paint this one later.

Sneaky Cat Ninja Pixel!

Art

Our pet cat, Pixel, dressed as a ninja…lurkin’….and smackin’ down spiders. (In reality, Pixel J. Cat prefers to dismember grasshoppers that errantly hop into our house and leave them for Mommy to discover later on.)

Also there is a cameo by Moxie Kitten and a random squargling.

Using @dustbunnythumper‘s 2016 template because I got impatient.

Credits: January is from the Inkspirations for Cat Lovers Coloring Book (not my lineart), August is a master study, and March’s abomination is Sargon the rat, from the game Armello.

In other news: still working on Christmas cat story and cover, need to scan a million sketchbook things.
