Description
So yeah... after drawing eight pages of comics straight (TTGB and Avatar), I think I overused my creative juices or something
_O:... cause I had severe artist block for about a month. Couldn't really sit down and draw anything for peas. Flitted around doodling things that never quite became anything. They're unimpressive alone, so I grouped my doodles together into something vaguely presentable. Yeah.
Behold the doodles! (I'm still aliiiive!!)

Erm... I'll try my best. Starting from top-left in a clockwise motion. Blue Hair Guy and Green Haired Gal With Tatoos are from an original Sci-Fi story I made up. Beside them is Korr, a character inspired from TTGB, looking outside a window. Next is currently unnamed female char from my Raptor Riders story. Then we have Martin and Kisha from Oblivion. Then Uchiha Ichi from Naruto. Kuzon and his dad Fire Lord Zuko from Avatar. And Salazar Slytherin from HP (looking way too smug with himself).

i love how dark your lines are :fist of jealousy:

Mrrrr? Ah well you see, I cheated and used Photoshop to pump up the levels. Quicku Photoshop tip. To increase the darkness of pencil lines: click Image >> Adjustments >> Levels...
Then scrub the bars closer together until you're satisfied with the darkness.
OR, if you don't have Photoshop... use your scanner to pump up the darkness. Turn Midtones to '0' and bump Highlights up a bit.

Pencil... my ballpoint sketches are very bland (usually a character's face in bland facial expression)

GEEZ. and you STILL are so clean.

No... I just do stuff in pencil. And eraser.

OH! well if an eraser was all I was missing...and talent.

Wow, for doodles, their very good *moopy about her art* I like the avatar people (Zuko and his dad?) and the ninja (sorry, don't watch Naruto enough to know if that's somebody

There there, it'll get better!

Ah, I see now

Well I think they all look really good, they all look really really well done. I especially like the Naruto character in the bottom left.

Ya... that's an OC I made up when my will was weak...

That can't be Zuko; he still has an eyebrow!

i am not really a big fan of blocks, (writing which i have or aritist blocks) so good luck with that and if you find a way through it tell me,

I dunno, my solution is just to do really non-creative stuff and go cold turkey till inspiration comes back. Like watch TV, youtube, play games till your sockets hurt.

Hmm... Naruto, Avitar, and what this one guesses are Neverwinter Nights and Oblivion chars. Possibly even a Salazar Slytherin. Did this one miss anybody?
π: 0 β©: 1
Woooo... you got all the fanarts! The top duo with funny hair color aren't from NWN, they're some OCs I made up. Same with the uncolored woman.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah! What are the OC's-who-AREN'T-from-NWN from?
Who's the ninja-looking kid? (upper right and below "carrinth.deviantart.com") OC?
π: 0 β©: 1
They're from a Sci-Fi theme story. Side-characters who hamper the hero (the blue-haired guy) and help him (the green-haired woman). I don't like the hair colors. Probably will change it again. Nyahaha. The little kid is Korr from White Dawn storyline.

Love on Martin and the Hero of Kvatch!!! I totally wear my Kvatch currias (sp?) all the time.

Woo! You spotted Martin and Kisha hiding in the corner.

I adore Zuko and his son as well as that sketch that looks oddly like Korr, prince of the burning skies at a young age.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep that is widdle Korr on his first visit to White/Winter/Idon'tknowyet Dawn. He will later get his butt handed to him when he faces the WD's Blademaster's young daughter in unarmed combat. Tru wuv!

Your "doodles" look like brilliant art to me. Even if I am not in an "artist block", I can't draw half as good as those...I can't even draw 1/4 as good.
π: 0 β©: 1
Weeeell... problem is I can just do one panel but I can't do the next panel.
π: 0 β©: 1
still...better than my drawings...that's why i just model, vector and poetry.
π: 0 β©: 0
at least you can make decent doodles during artist block T_T
I can't do anything during mine right now
anyway, I hope your creative juices return to you

Aww, right back at you.
Yeah, I donβt understand myself sometimes either. Shine! Shine!
