I haven't drawn in 2 months. It recently has started to make me anxious, angry, etc. so I've been avoiding it at all costs - and when I don't, I have meltdowns. I'll still show you a few of my really old works, though. c;
NOTE: I can't draw anyone smiling, for some odd reason. I am acutely aware of this and ashamed to an extreme level of my incompetence in this area. The most emotion my characters show is... smirking? Ye.

I have been working on this for quite a while now. I have posted parts of it before (the individual characters) but this is the whole thing here. Initially I planned to make more than just one work but now I doubt if I get the time and energy for that.
Imitating the style of Osprey Publishing's military illustration series, this work is (meant to be) a tongue-in-cheek narration on a fictional uprising in Hong Kong. I did not put up the text here, which are very long, but I would if anyone is interested.

Wow! There are some amazing artists here!
I started on my final project in the millwrighting course I'm taking. I couldn't think of anything to build (I don't really need anything), so laying back in bed one night I got a random thought in my head, "I should build a lego man...Hey, why not?!" I found a blueprint drawing of a minifig online, scaled it up and redrew it. I changed a few things to make it easier to build and yeah, work in progress pictures! (Or how to get a head in life!) The head will be held on the neck stud with a countersunk screw at some point; not a lot to show, but it's a start anyway! (I love lathes!)

Very cool! I can't wait to see the finished product.

More progress; some of the parts are cut for the body, he has a neck stud now, the hands and their studs were turned to size on the lathe. Tomorrow I'll start milling the parts for the arms (I'm a lot more confident on a lathe than I am a milling machine)
