Golem Maker Emoticons

As promised, not a gesture drawing. But it is still golem makers. In order is the 3 of Swords, Alice, and the Toymaker. Ya'll can see their gesture drawings again :D
This was kind of a turning point for me. You see, I had been itching to do a comic and at the time this story was just swirling around in my head. I wanted to start by drawing out the LJ emoticons and I was showing this off to Steve, explaining the story as I did so. He told me 'that seems kind of complex, you sure you want to do that for a webcomic?' or it was 'your first comic' or something but it got me thinking. So I threw out a couple of ideas I had for strip comics and he pulled out the one that was about this kid who didn't get into any colleges, no real plans for the future, goes to this party, gets drunk and wakes up as a vampire. Sound familiar >:3
Just a little hint for what's to come. . .

PS. I love how the toymaker came out in this. I know I said earlier that his story is better told through his expressions rather than his body language and when I drew this I came to a startling realization: He's a total asshole! A complete dick! The definition of douche! The reason I was so pleased with this is cause I love the characters who are just straight up jerks, ecspecially if they're creepy. For example: Ichimaru Gin from Bleach, Rorschack from Watchmen, Marquis de Carabas from Neverwhere, Barbas from Charmed (shut up!). I could go on. But I won't. Long post script is long.

Three of Swords Gestures

AKA Beezle Holliston. To some of you that may mean something, to others, well, you ain't paying close enough attention. Or just don't care. That's okay. All ya'll need to know is that he's another golem maker (*shock*) who is notorious for the best battle golems who have proven to be ruthless in their tasks. Also he sleeps sitting up.
And most importantly: this is the last gesture drawing! Throw a party!

Tessie Gestures

AHAHAHA And we're back with more of this crap! Sorry about all the gesture drawings guys, but I guess I kind of went on a binge there when I had this sketchbook. But don't worry, when it comes to it, I'll skip over the SaH page layouts. Those are just as boring and you've already seen them all in their finished format by this point anyways.
Back to the fucking topic, there Scrumpy. Tessie is, surprise surprise, yet another golem maker. I kind of had to search for her back story but when I found it it seemed to write itself. Her dad was a mechanic and wanted his offspring to follow in his footsteps. Tessie didn't have much of a knack for machines, but rather golems. So she went off to school for golem making and made golems that only looked like machines to trick her father. He eventually figured it out (after a good while however) but was proud of her regardless.
Only one more gesture drawing after this! I promise~!

I Swear to Drunk I'm Not God

I determined that, at least once, I need to draw while drunk. This is what came out. The first picture is clearly December. . . but its wrong. Very very wrong. I mean, it looks really strange huh? And I'm not even going to try to justify whatever the hell that second one is. And that's all I have to say on that

Study Buddy from Europa

Back in 8th grade, when I was just starting to draw anime in an obsessive compulsive manner, I would draw this dude on the side of my notes. Granted at the time he was an inch large chibi drawing with no real facial features and the clothes weren't well designed and it was a LOT worse, but still, there he was. My study buddy from Europa (I had a major hard on for astrnomy).
So one day in class, now in college, he just comes up in the page of my sketchbook, full body and more detailed. . . and with some actual anatomy. I cropped it off the picture but I wrote on the side "Wow. . . I haven't drawn him in like, what, 8 years?"
Side note: when I drew him out, a grad student in my class, who is like fucking good at medical illustration, leaned over and said 'what you drawing?' 'Oh just doodling' 'you're really good at doodling' 'uhm, thanks?' 'I mean it. I could never do that'. Then I just kind of gave him this OMG YOU'RE KIDDING look. B/c I mean, come on, this is not all that great. But it kind of boosts the small voice in my head that says 'GET A JOB IN COMICS!'

Gawd Bros. Gestures

I know ya'll must be sick and tired of these gestures by now. What can I say? They're quick, easy, fun, and a huge help to my art. But anyways, there's this one and a break from gestures for a while and then 2 more and then after that its. . . well I won't give it all away.
Anyways, these are the Gawd Bros. More golem makers, as per usual. I know it might be hard to tell in these quick little doodles, but the boys are conjoined at the hand. They're siamese twins. . . in a way I suppose. I had far to much fun creating them. I got their names (Faereweather and Cruicshank) from a Scottish patent law firm. Don't ask. Again: you really don't want to know.

Nineveh Gestures

And here we are again with the gesture drawings. I hope ya'll don't mind. This here is Nineveh, yet another golem maker. He is the most youngest maker on the Parliment of Truth. . . . well in appearance that is. Tee Hee. I actually love is story line and I love his golems more. He's well known for making golems that appear solid out of not solid objects. Like fire, or water, or light. . . or something else. Again: tee hee.
