I love it, and I've never done any fan art for them, so here it is! <a href="http://www.scooterandferret.com/" target="_blank">Scooter and Ferret</a> is the continuing adventures of Ferret the ferret and a lazy dog named Scooter who share a house together. Ferret aspires to become an animator, but the industry is in terrible shape, and most of his friends are happy doing nothing at all. The strip is hilarious and suitable for all ages. The girl is Maridee, and I know some of you might look at this strip (a hot chick hanging out with animals and not really noticing this) as a rip-off of <a href="http://www.libertymeadows.com/" target="_blank">Liberty Meadows,</a> but thankfully <a href="http://www.berkeleybreathed.com/pages/index.asp" target="_blank">Scooter and Ferret</a> isn't some dude's cheap rip-off of Bloom County as an excuse to draw cheesecake.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_01_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/Pencils/RantleShalosha.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Anyhoo. I was looking through the web comics I read and discovered that only two of them are suitable for younger readers. I am slightly dismayed by this fact, but not enough to do anything about it. Lord knows I read enough webcomics as is.Today is a not-suitable for those younger than 17. I knew the guy who writes and illustrates <a href="http://deadman.keenspace.com/index.html" target="_blank">Dead Man's Party,</a> and he's a seriously funny guy. The strip is pretty funny too, though not nearly as funny as he is. Dead Man's Party follows the unlife of a ghost, Mike, as he struggles to find his place in the aftermath of death. He's the one in the chains, just so ya know. Beside him is an acquaintance, Abby, who haunts the same appartment complex as him.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_02_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <a href="http://www.sexylosers.com/" target="_blank">Sexy Losers</a> ... eyeah, don't even think about lookin at this one unless you're over 17. Then again ... There's fewer things that'll turn one off of sex faster than Sexy Losers. But that's hardly the point. The point is sex is funny and gross and so is Sexy Losers. There are a about five or six different storylines that Sexy Losers follows, the ones in the drawing are Madame X the hentai comic artist and her roommate Chie Sakamachi. If you don't know what hentai is, please don't ask me.And why is Chie wearing a raincoat to the beach? I suppose you'd have to read the strip the know.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_03_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Last one of the assignment. Mostly because I don't think Sluggy, Penny Arcade, 8-Bit Theater, or VG Cats need my help to get readers. Plus, I can't really draw the ones I'd like to pimp like <a href="http://www.qwantz.com/" target="_blank">Dinosaur Comics,</a> <a href="http://www.lastkisscomics.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Last Kiss Comics,</a> or <a href="http://snipehunting.rydia.net/index.php" target="_blank">Acid Zen Wonder Paint.</a>So here's <a href="http://www.niego.org/" target="_blank">Niego</a>. Niego follows John Niego, the smoker (please take note that he smokes, it's apparently integral to the plot or something), who just doesn't care. He wanders around, putting up with his roomie Leland and his rather forceful friend Libby. It's funny. Read it.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_04_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_05_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_06_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_07_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_08_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_09_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The last couple of days have been a bit strange. I hung out with friends of Marlon ... Dah.God I'm so depressed. All I can say is ... I don't need anyone making me feel better about my work ... I need consistant work. That's what I need, but I can't make money off of this. No one wants my style for illustration. Why do I bother? A few compliments on this board isn't the same as making a living. I was hoping for more, I guess. For publishers to notice I have a sense of form, an eye for composition, a love for expression ... But aparently no one is willing to pay for that.Honestly ... I don't need praise right now, so don't feel like you need to give me advice or say that I don't suck or something. What I need is work doing what I love. And it's not happening.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_10_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Wow. I am so sorry. I totally went LiveJournal up in here. Not take my meds for one day and I'm about to keel over.But hey, thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I'm really sorry for doing whining, but everyone's responses was a big help. I'm still here, still drawing. I owe you guys what, five?X-Men's Marrow as she first appeared in the early 90's.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_11_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> And when she joined the X-Men around '98 or so.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_12_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> The Bantam's NPC's, Bently and Murray.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_13_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Pat Alex, another character in the Mutants and Masterminds game I'm in.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_14_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />And a cute couple from High Fantasy (my campaign setting.)<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_15_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />This is Blue Aurora, one of my Mutants and Mastermind's character's NPCs.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_16_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=125306" target="_blank">The Feline request!</a><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_17_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The sidekick of one of the other Mutant and Masterminds players (his name is Pulse, and I have yet to draw him), Street Ninja. Those of you who've seen Black Mask may see what the DM was going for.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_18_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />And here's yet another NPC, Yukino, a tanuki, along with what he looks like disguised as a human. Those of you who played Super Mario 3 may remember the "tanooki" suit--yeah, that's what they look like.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_19_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Yeah, I know. Seriously. Hey, how could I pass up a semi-human woman in only ribbons? Plus, it's for some of my favorite posters! ^_^<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/drawingaday/03_05/03_20_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Partial update tonight, more coming soon. Just had to get something up. So I'm gonna pimp the online RPG I'm a part of: <a href="http://ashen-wings.net/chaotic/" target="_blank">Chaotic</a>. It's an email-based rpg based off of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics.This is Ruby, the princess of a tiny rainforest tribe.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchRuby.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Surya-Ne, an echinda and the sister of my character, <a href="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/Moore1.html" target="_blank">Moore</a><img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchSurya.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> The character of the DM, Kern, who was partially "robiticized." Those familiar with the setting knows what that means, the rest of you might be able to guess.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchKern.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> The perky, 12 year-old hedgehog Kitomi<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchShitomi.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> And all these heroes should have at least one villian, Aleron, who was wholly roboticized.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchAleron.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> This is Sarda of the grand Acorn lineage, descendant of none other than Sonic the Hedgehog himself.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchSarda.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> And this is my villian character, <a href="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/glitch1.html" target="_blank">Glitch</a>, once known as MechaSonic, now a walking malfunction. If you notice he has different proportions than the other characters, that's on purpose. He's freakishly long and tall for the setting.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/CHAOTIC/SketchGlitch.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Well, I got some great responses for the Chaotic stuff! I honestly didn't know what you guys would think. Seeing how well that worked out, I may as well pimp my own game! Almost two years ago I tried to start up an email-based rpg, but absolutely no one applied! ;__;Since most email rpgs I've tried to apply to are based off of the Sailor Moon theme (which is characters who tranform into someone with superpowers on a basic theme, like elements or something, to fight evil--the Power Rangers are a similar idea) ... I came up with one of my own. <a href="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/FourColorSenshi.html" target="_blank">Four Color Senshi</a>, the tales of the Super Senshi! <a href="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/FCS_TheStory.html" target="_blank">The basic idea</a> is that characters are normal, everyday people until they are needed, then use their powers to transform into "senshi" based off of superheroes!To show an example, here's my good character, Kenna Raven.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/SuperSenshi/Kenna05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> When evil appears, she uses her powers to tranform into Sailor Marrow!<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/SuperSenshi/SailorMarrowCrouch.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> And here's my villain character, Beor Izaak.<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/SuperSenshi/BeorIzaak.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Who transforms into the villain, Jokers Wild!<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/SuperSenshi/JokersWild.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The characters aren't who they transform into, they just gain a little of the power of their namesakes.And thus, this dude:<img src="http://www.shellcatstudio.com/JLWebsite/MySite/Art/SuperSenshi/Lynch.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Charles Lynch, is dedicated to finding all those with such powers, to gather the ones who aren't dangerous together to help stop the ones that are.Now come on ... Tell me that doesn't sound cool! It's not something one would have to devote crap tons of time to ... Just something to try out. I'm makin a call to those who might be interested, just check out the site and apply if you feel like paying tribute to your favorite superheroes and supervillains!</blockquote>
