Jeeze Candlebury, you’re a machine. You just keep pumping them out. Nice. ^^

Slax: That’s a really interesting way to show your survivor… I think I have to try it myself once I get the time to draw mine.

Ever wonder why survivors act so edgy around your player character? Well, this might explain it.

Why thank you, NineRings. It was definitely the most tense moments I’ve had with the game so I felt inspired to jot it down somehow.  
REALLY didn’t think I’d make it out of there.

Also, that’s real nice, Fliff.

Attempting to explore the center of a city with only around 50 rounds to work with was a bad idea. Goodbye, stocked safehouses to the SW.[/quote]

Probably in the “plan ahead” section. As in DON’T GET CORNERED, EVER.

And also in the “Always another way!” section: you can climb a chain-link fence by examining it.

John looks in OK shape there, so I think he stands a pretty good chance of getting over on the first try.

Looks sort of like it’s topped with barbed wire, in which case the options are to possibly hurt yourself going past it, or spending a bit of time removing the barbed wire.  
I’m not sure how long the latter takes.

I think that if we keep feeding Jhon, he will make even more drawings. Keep going! Awesome!

Well, I’ve been working out a new art style. This is my current survivor, still with the name of Serif. She’s doing pretty well. This is a rough sketch still, but it’s going well, I think.

Facial features are centred pretty well (left-right), but are proportionately spaced for a smaller head. Hoodie is obscuring the top of the head in such a way that makes the space from brows to crown of the head difficult to judge accurately, but it still seem too big. I think that’s what’s throwing off the facial feature’s ability to ‘sit’ naturally.

If you raise the eyes to compensate for that, the nose will have to raise too else it’ll seem too long. Mouth might then also wind up following, depending on how far the adjustment goes.

Andrew Loomis would actually have you chop the sides off that starting ‘sphere’ we all use for undersketches - I’ve found that tends to help resolve issues I have with making the top of the head too tall.

![](http://www.freshdesigner.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/fig01_loomis.jpg) Aha I found it! This guy makes me wanna go cry about my artskills though. I don’t actually follow most of the other ‘steps’ shown without their explanations in that pic at all.

I might totally edit this when I’m not drowsy, sorry for the sleep-babbles X)

Light power armor, female version. Just a concept, I guess. Nothing more.

So I needed a break from drawing zombies and instead redrew one of my never realized fantasy webcomic characters, the main antagonist:

He was something like the Alexander the Great of the universe, Deres Arvenar I think he was called, really have no idea it has been a long while

Good technical details, but looking at that torso is making my ribs hurt. That’s bone-crushing levels of tight, it’s narrower than the head!

Seconded. That armor’s unwearable as is. This [tumblog tends to have more fantasy art, but there’s some SF stuff too](http://womenfighters.tumblr.com/). Perfectly safe, and nice work IMO.

That or she’s got a reaaaaallly big helmet XD I think the armour itself is quite workable! Just needs proportion tweaks if you’re interested in revisiting the concept.

I need to put my money where my mouth is and draw again. My god I’ve been bad about that lately. SO.

I’m not releasing the whole comic - that’d be mean to people who gave money for it. But here’s one wee panel to satisfy something I said I’d draw earlier:

And that is why I so often laugh when I die in Cata.
