Couple of fast sketches for the GDC. It's possible that I will never live down that poor cat.

Puppyyyyyy

Yeah I haven't even posted yet---WHOAH Hey look a puppy!

So how is everyone doing?

Blog Name

OK we need a name for this blog! I have one idea, but I want more input, so feel free to comment and I can move them into the main body of this post.

Ideas:

- Roughin' It
- AWESOMESAUCE

I got a Cintiq! - Flounder

I got a Cintiq! I wanted to practice with it so I decided to pull out my Learn to Draw books and picked Flounder.

Here's the sketch and color version:





This was done in Photoshop CS3. I'm still getting used to everything and the settings. I plan on breaking in Painter X next.

Concept art for a character I'm developing with some friends

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

Tonight I've been playing around on my tablet in Photoshop and Painter for the first time. I even changed my nib to be the little painter springy one.

I had the main guy here sketched out along with a strawberry in my sketchbook, but I decided to just take the banana guy and use the Marky Mark concept. Hope you like my crazy lame Photoshop tabletness:

Orange Kitten

Here's a quick sketch mixed with some photoshop. took maybe 15-20 minutes. hope ya digs!

My Favorite Vegetable!

Meet Curly the Kale!


OK... so it's just a 5 minute doodle on my tablet in Illustrator, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss out on all the fun.

I LOVE KALE! I have this brilliant idea... I want to write a poem for my love of kale, with others who love kale! Do you think this is a good idea? A friend of mine already wrote a couple lines himself: "my kale is stale, and now i think i'm going pale, so now i need to bend over a rail." I think it's OK, but he doesn't even like kale! Should I exclude him from this project because he doesn't love kale? Do we have the right to disallow people to participate in a meaningful experience if they dislike the interest we're writing about?

This community arts program at MICA has made me absolutely batty!

I demand that there be more cute leafy green vegetables on this blog!

Veggie Veggie, Fruit Fruit!

Hello ladies and germs!

Katie's title inspired me, let's get those juices flowing! So why not have fruit (and veggies) as the theme for this week? Here's a song to inspire you, from Epcot in Walt Disney World:

Let's Get Those Juices Flowing....Yum!

Hey ladies and germs,

The Katies decided to start up a sketchblog to keep the momentum going until we all land super cool jobs and take over the industry. We're gonna try to do the theme thing, but feel free to post whatever you need to share, get off your chest, brag or have us smash with critique! Whatever media, whatever content, whatever stage of development. I don't care if it's something you doodled on toilet paper or spent years on. Post it and show it off!

Anything you want to see here? Let us know so we can make it super funky and fancy and fun.

Get those pencils, pens and stylus' going!

Love,
Katie B & Katie C

PS. Think of a cool name, ok?
