Autodesk Sketchbook #02 – Phone’s Sketchbook

This is just a quick doodle on that Autodesk Sketchbook app that lets you do doodles on your phone. This was done with a couple “glowing” paint things and I wanted to test out the stylus I picked up for a couple bucks. It’s not much, but it’s something, I suppose.

By the way, it’s supposed to be a thumbs-up, not a flipping of the proverbial bird.

A Glimpse Into Past Fanwankery

A piece of troubled teenhood, when my days in high school were spent doodling quick little comics with such silly concepts and ideas as a crossover between Street Fighter characters and Power Rangers characters. The artwork, as seen above depicting Ryu freeing a Ranger from Bison’s energy tube thing, is crude and the story is perhaps more so, but it’s not a far-fetched idea from what’s being done with the phone game now.

And then I went ahead and turned it into an absurd fanfic that was eventually posted to the world and stuff. The funny thing was that at some point, I actually did try to piece together a more “serious” story that crossed over the universes of the Street Fighter II animated movie with the first MMPR feature film in a situation that allowed for a little more leeway than trying to work within the constrains of the bloated universes the source material became, but it never really went beyond the first couple chapters and even then… not much there to go on.

Maybe someday, I might post those up here if I still have them. I doubt that I do, but hey, something extra for the blog, I suppose.

Boogie Board Doodles

So, as it’s been readily apparent, I’ve picked up one of those Boogie Board things where you can jot down notes on a liquid display and can clear the thing quickly at the press of a button. It’s a rather intriguing little device that I’ve been getting quite a bit of use out of, if the past couple posts have been any indication. Not only that, but I’ve managed a couple quick doodles here and there. This is perhaps not the most ideal use for this product unless you’ve done a lot of illustrated stuff on black paper (which I have not), but for a quick and clean wordpad thing, it’s not a bad gimmick to have.

No, I don’t expect quick notes such as this to start spamming up the blog anytime soon, but hey, sometimes there’s an idea on there I wouldn’t mind sharing on here. Just not that often because trying to capture this stuff with the A5 is not pleasant and I’d rather save that for nice scenic pics instead.
