Firebird's Sketch of the Week Series

You had no idea the amount of synthehol it took to get that shot.

 

Great work!

 

Going by the drawing of Misato I did, turns out it wasn’t synthehol.

 

Drawing 329 / 2023 Artwork 2: A tribute to my favorite movie, David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia.


Drawing 330 / 2023 Artwork 3: Love Hina's Naru Narusegawa demonstrates how I'm feeling this weekend while trying to bang out 30 pages of EVA-Trek's tenth episode script.


Drawing 331 / 2023 Artwork 4: Lycoris Recoil's Chisato Nishikigi models the latest in Starfleet cadet redshirt attire.

 

Really nice work.
Redshirt attire should at least feature chain mail and goggles..

 

The trick…is not minding that it hurts.

 

After spending last weekend and the early part of this week busting out the first draft of EVA-Trek's 10th episode (which was semi-inspired by TOS' "Devil in the Dark") and getting episode 8 online (https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/eva-trek-an-evangelion-star-trek-crossover.311690/#post-14361988), I was surprisingly not tapped out on my creative juices, so I think we've got a good batch of drawings this week.

Drawing 332 / 2023 Artwork 5: Melfina from Outlaw Star, a series I remember fondly from those early Toonami days, more than twenty years ago (dear lord, I feel old...)


Drawing 333 / 2023 Artwork 6: Good news, everyone! It's Professor Farnsworth from Futurama.


Drawing 334 / 2023 Artwork 7: A tribute to Mike Nichols' The Graduate, featuring Hayato Kusukabe from Goddess Cafe Terrace.

 

Pff! twenty years? Ha! try Captain Future, that's more than 40 years ago. (Toei Animation, 1978)
And as usual, you did a good job.

 

To be fair, 20 years is more than half my life.

 

Outlaw Star is a favorite of mine.

 

LOL. 20 years is less than a third of my life.

 

Working on getting EVA-Trek uploaded to Archive of Our Own this week (https://archiveofourown.org/series/3301210), so I've been a little swamped on the clerical end of things. In the meantime, only had a chance to do a couple sketches this weekend.

Drawing 335 / 2023 Artwork 8: My rendition of Detective Lieutenant Columbo, based on the "If Columbo Were Anime" short from Youtube.


Here's the video itself. It's short, but oh so good.


Drawing 336 / 2023 Artwork 9: Lt. Commander Misato Katsuragi of the USS Nerv. Can I help it if I have a favorite character to draw?

 

That Columbo you did is really well done, you've got that Peter Falk "thing"

As for your favorite character.. also well done.

 

How about Bob Odenkirk as Kolchak?

 

Drawing 337 / 2023 Artwork 10: A quick rough sketch of Nagisa Kubo from Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, done in about 15 minutes during lunch when I didn't have much else to do.


Drawing 338 / 2023 Artwork 11: Kiku Hoshimi from Call of the Night, done during the same lunch session as the Kubo sketch.


Drawing 339 / 2023 Artwork 12: Ryo-ohki's child form in the Tenchi Muyo OVAs.


Drawing 340 / 2023 Artwork 13: Commander Ritsuko Akagi, Chief Science Officer, USS Nerv.

 

Cool probably would take me 15 years to come close in drawing those sketches...

 

I have to agree with @Santaman about your Columbo - great job!
And the "rough" sketches are pretty amazing too - I don't know who the characters are, but whatever's happened to bring Nagisa Kubo to the verge of tears, poor thing?

 

Those aren't tears, it's embarrassment - there's a confession chapter coming soon, since it's coming up on Valentine's Day.

 

Drawing 341 / 2023 Artwork 14: Kazuya and Yaemori from Kanojo, Okarishimasu.


Drawing 342 / 2023 Artwork 15: Kagura from Gintama.


Drawing 343 / 2023 Artwork 16: Nagisa Minase from Kanojo mo Kanojo.

 

Really nice work, the colouring is really great.
