  • My Saving Grace.

    Kat Johnston Sketchbook - these sketches are odd, yet I am still fascinated with the characters they are creating... what is her story?

    Another ‘littlest sketch-book’ post, with another odd little creature coming forth from naught but a pair of eyes… I want to know what her story is. I haven’t quite been able to latch onto what it is yet… Neither do I understand her name of ‘My Saving Grace’, but the title floated down and settled upon her like a mantle before I had but a second’s say in her naming.

    But I suppose if this little sketch-book is going to contain creatures just drawn organically without a second thought, I had best respect that along with their own form, they may dictate their names without my interferance either. Its only a fair exchange for allowing me to capture them on the page, is it not? Well… I think so. Ok… I’m off to properly start the day. Hopefully there is enough time to scootch to the markets and buy the best hot chocolate in town before they shut up shop for the day.

  • Yet Another Little Sketchbook Post.

    Kat Johnston Sketchbook - Tentacles, are they? I seem to have an odd fascination with tentacles... who knows why... childhood trauma, perhaps?

    Another little sketch-book post today… I’ve decided that I have to start with a set of eyes on each page (the cute big round ones that make me go ‘awww’ or ‘eeee!’) then go from there. Eyes are always a good place to start, in my opinion. From there on in, the rest is just whatever my poor feeble brain tells me to do… until it looks right. Or right-ish. Sorta right? Well… close enough. Each time I do a little drawing in this sketch-book, I’ll throw it up, bad, good, or just plain weird. Unless you don’t want me to. In which case, I will keep the evidence of my psychosis to myself. And my apparent obsession with tentacles…

    I’ve added a new category for the posts with these sketch-book images, rather unoriginally named ‘Sketch-Book’. Who said I’m not inspired?

    Just a quick note to Steve, who sent a request through my private-super-awesome-hotline (the contact page), thanks for the request, am working on it, and will post it soonish.

  • Tentacle Time

    Not the greatest sketch in the world, but I feel that I’d best throw at least -something- up here to show that I’ve been doing something… As I’ve said before, I hate profiles… its far from perfect, but I can deal with that… at least each kinda-not-quite-right gets closer to the kinda-getting-closer-to-being-quite-right, the way it should be.

    It was just a picture of the head to begin with… I’m not quite sure what compelled me to go ‘this image can only be best completed with the addition of a nice, juicy tentacle’, but I have to say, I think it makes it work *big grin*.
