Some sketches from the last few days. I'm trying to use up this giant sketchbook (11x14), and it's a pain to take pictures of (too large to use the scanner). There are a couple cute sketches in there though!

Working on getting better at drawing two figures together.

More fashion Rita. ^_^

More Rita! Based off another fashion photo I found online.

Another one of Rita, also based off a fashion photo from somewhere.

There was some crud on the scanner bed, and I'm too tired to re-scan this right now. My cats are also about to throw hands (paws?) with me, because they think I should be in bed (I should be, but I don't feel like that's happening for a bit).

It's been a rough day. I won't lie about that.

I needed to do something with my hands, and it was hard to get myself to do it, but I did it. And doing something creative helped.

Rita again. Based off a fashion photo I found somewhere online. No. I never drew her foot.

I am not going to go gentle into the good night.

I'm gonna be a massive bitch about it.

Keep living, thrive even. Keep going out of spite, keep going because living as yourself is an act of defiance. I love you <3 (heart)

so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you

I wasn't really all that excited to color this one in (I have a lot of inked stuff on my desk right now, and this is the one I wanted to do the least) so I did it anyway.

There's nothing WRONG with it, per se... it's just... fine.

The scan didn't quite pick it up as nicely as it looks in real life, but I like the background shading/color quite a bit.

If you are in the US and can vote, please go vote! It's really important.

I'm in Michigan and turned my mail-in ballot several weeks ago, but there's still time to get your vote in.

I will now return you to your regularly scheduled Tumblr

(GO VOTE)

Oh, hey! I know I've been drawing a lot of Rita lately (she's been on my mind), but I had one of Kat Foxglove waiting to be colored, so here she is.

I am absolutely trying to distract myself from the sense of impending doom everyone I know has about the election tomorrow...

[rita-lashette]

Another one of Rita.

[rita-lashette]

Rita and Cortney. I just think they're cute! <3

I had an idea on Rita's story (regarding her dad mostly), and I'm re-excited to do some art.

[rita-lashette]

I remember when all sci-fi ladies used to be dressed in these outfits that looked like bathing suit over bodysuit kind of situation. I miss it a bit (oh nostalgia!)

[rita-lashette]

I decided that I really didn't like the lighter color surrounding her, so I made the background all dark.

[rita-lashette]

Rita LaShette in a bar. I don't have much to say about this one.

Sketched this a while ago, when I had an idea about a suit jacket. I think I'd like to try again (or a few more times), but I still think it's a neat idea.
