This one's still somewhere at the top of the list though, keepin' it sketchy -
I imagine Hank is telling Dean some facts about life that aren't facts at all.

Day 8 - Favorite Animated Character
Avatar: The Last Airbender's Zuko.
Never has such a serious character/villain made me laugh (and cry!) so much. Anyone that's gone through adolescence can relate to this guy. Aaaaand he's voiced by Ruffio's Dante Basco. BANGARANG.
If you haven't seen the animated series yet, I highly recommend it; it's won a bunch of awards for a reason. I actually refused to watch it for years, and then I had to create a game for it at an old company, so I had to watch the series for reference. The series was great, the game? Not so much hehe
EDIT: Quickie sketches for Runner Ups.
I wanna include Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond, because, well, he's Batman. In the Future. And he gets yelled at by Bruce Wayne all the time.
Also Sailor Moon. When I was 11 years old, I woke up early, turned on the TV one day and found out there was a female super-hero that wasn't overly heroic (sorry, Wonder Woman and She-Ra). She was more realistic. She was awful at homework, and clumsy as hell, and cried all the time. But she still saved the world, and as a child (who am I kidding, as an adult too) that's still an awesome character.
I used to draw her all of the time as a kid. Hilariously, I hadn't drawn this in about 15 years, but I still knew her costume by heart!

Day 7 - Favorite Word
There's something ticklishly funny about a small, fat bird saying the old English word for a female whore or prostitute.
I declare all profanity should be said by tiny fluff-balls of feather.

Day 6 - Favorite Book Character
...And it can't be a movie.
I kind of think this particular drawing-day subject is full of crap. Because every one of my favorite books has been developed into a film. From Lord of the Rings, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Bladerunner), Harry Potter, to even children's books, like Roald Dahl stories, or one of my faves - Bridge to Terabithia. I went through most of my bookshelf with much frustration.
I chose Socrates In Love(spoiler), which my boyfriend gave to me a few years ago when he was abroad in Japan. It's an incredibly sad but honest story about a high school boy and girl named 'Saku' and 'Aki' respectively. This has been adapted into a movie as well as television drama and a freakin' comic. BUT HEY I NEVER SAW ANY OF THOSE, SO SCREW YOU 30-DAY DRAWING CHALLENGE.

Day 5 - Best Friend
This was a tough one. Funny enough, I've recently heard relationships between men and women described best as this: Friendship between women is like a garden that constantly needs tending. If you don't tend it enough though, it ends up withering up and you have to start all over. But when tended properly, the blooms are absolutely gorgeous and wonderful. Friendship between men is like a giant tree. You can ignore it forever, but it grows on its own and it's always there and doesn't resent you for not tending it.
I've had issues with deeming someone that 'tip-top' placement as a best friend these days. Having a best friend should be something natural, it should be someone you admire, look to, and have a great time with no matter the situation. Someone you trust, and someone you will always be there for.
The last person I called my best friend was my room mate from college, Alicia. She dropped out when she realized there were greater and bigger things calling to her in the world, and it wasn't artwork. I can only hope the best for her, and while we have lost touch over the years (my losing her phone number and her not using any social networks doesn't help), I want to treat this friendship like a tree. It doesn't need much tending, it keeps growing, and it's always there, no matter how much time has passed. Here's to you, Alicia, where ever you are, and whatever you are doing.

Day 3 - Favorite Food
I couldn't really decide on one, so I put a few of my favorite items from Dim Sum in general. Egg custards get three because those are my favorite for dessert!

Day 2 - Favorite Animal
Day 2 of the 30-day drawing challenge!
My boyfriend had the cutest chinchilla as a pet, named Milo. He unfortunately passed away about 6 years ago, so here's to best fuzzy creature!

Day 1 - Draw Yourself
Decided to try the 30 Day Drawing Challenge. So here's two versions of me:
Me at work where I do Flash and Mobile games and draw a lot in Flash. ...Which has unfortunate consequences.
And then I calmed down a bit after my outburst.

Eat Your Art Out V
New piece for an upcoming silent art auction: Eat Your Art Out V, for the Angel City Roller Girls, a roller derby group from LA. The event will be hosted by Titmouse Inc, and the Opening/Auction will take place February 25th!
The theme is 'Carnival After Dark,' where the gallery will be transformed into a bustling, traveling carnival from the early 1900s. After scouring through tons of photos from late 1800s to early 1900s of carnival performers (and circus performers) I was awed by a few images that depicted women with lions. These women looked so incredibly young, child-like even. It really blew me away that large, genuinely ferocious animals, were hanging around with young women (girls, really) and their cherubic faces.
