I didn’t update friday…

I could give you about a thousand sorry excuses why, but instead I’ll just give you this Sunday update…

I’ve declared June “Zombie Month”, I sketched this self portrait in celebration:

and here’s some pretty sort of girl with her cats… I like to think she talks with them:

and finally, a non specific sketchbook page:

in other news, I just got myself a wonderful new sketchbook… it’s huge.

I think I might name it Big Bertha, but I have a new naming convention so I’ll have to see if that works…

maybe some UK pictures on tuesday, I dunno.

So, in order, last week’s drawing came first, and I really dug what was going on…

and because in my mind every character in every picture I draw has a story, I went searching for their story:

so I actually found that at some point in egyptian history there was Actually a Pharaoh named Djehuty (aka Toth)… so obviously I decided that he wasn’t named after the god so much as was seen as a physical embodiment of the god (what he is or is not is never really the point).

but as he grows older and falls in love, he slowly becomes more and more like an Ibis, and eventually he gives up his short reign as Pharaoh because birds do not make effective leaders.

the end… maybe

I randomly started drawing this akward couple way back in march…

you’ll see more of them on friday…
