SCRIBBLE AND SKARFY!

So maybe you remember my drawings of various hipster girls from a little while ago? Well I particularly liked these two girlies the most, and I think I see some potential for a couple of fun characters.

Scribble and Skarfy are best friends and are not unlike any average 20-year old girls you could see within a short trip around your local shopping mall ("Scribble" and "Skarfy" are only the nicknames they refer to themselves as, of course... they have real birth-given names, maybe someday you'll find out what they are!)

Every day is a new adventure for them and their other scene kid friends. They love to do all sorts of things, including standing around outside of nightclubs, shopping at American Apparel, and causing hour and a half-long wait times for all the hippest noodle and rice-bowl restaurants in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles.

I just this moment found this via Google image search-
OMG, IT'S SCRIBBLE IN REAL LIFE!!!!!

While Scribble is the schemer and always the one doing the talking, Skarfy keeps a lot to herself. She hides behind her fashionable scarf, and her collection of thick-rimmed glasses that Buddy Holly or Audrey Hepburn made popular decades ago. NOTE: Being a hipster, she does not actually need prescriptions in any these glasses... she can see just fine without them.

Don't you see folks like this when you go out to parties?

There are transparent rough sketches adorning the background of the character model sheets above, and here they are on their own:

I'm not too much farther into developing these characters than what you see here, but I've got plenty of ideas for them and I think I'm going to be doing some little webcomics about them in the near future. I'm excited to see what'll be coming up!

That's all for now! Thanks for looking.

WANTING FLAIR LIKE MARY BLAIR'S

*siiiigh*


Oh, to be an artistic genius like Mary Blair.





*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggghhhh*




It's no wonder that my favorite Disney movies are the ones she was staffed on, usually as either the art/color director or the conceptual artist!
In my favorite movie, Alice in Wonderland, the White Rabbit's house is even modeled after Mary's head and hair-do!





I love my Mary Blair BOOK, by the way!!! Everyone should own it.


If you don't know her by name, but her work looks familiar, you've most likely seen it first hand at Disneyland's it's a small world, through which she created the ride's conceptual paintings, characters and artwork. She also designed a couple murals that USED to be up in Tomorrowland.



Man, her art is so appealing. I felt like studying some of her pieces and decided to make drawings of my own. Witness the horror of someone trying super hard to be Mary Blair! (it ain't easy, folks)



OH, and while I'm completely plagiarizing other people's styles-
Ben, over at his blog, has the cutest character!! A little girl mink named Jo Minkus, and I decided to make some fan art! I hope I did them a little justice. Nevertheless, go check out his stuff!
