Nicki Minaj

It's been a long time...I shouldn't have left you...

I can't believe that its been almost two months since I've posted something on here. If you've been following me on twitter, you would know that my Wacom tablet bit the big one, and I had to get it replaced.  I sent my tablet off to Wacom and was without it for about a month, only for it to return to me with a new problem instead.  So I had to send it off for almost another month, and now we're back!  I've been doing some random sketching low-tech wise, but I've been waiting for my tablet to come back...and it finally has!

And to celebrate (and knock off some digital rust), what better way than to sketch up and color Nicki Minaj!

This was the first time I drew her, so hopefully I did her justice.  And who knows, I @'ed her on Instagram with this same drawing, so maybe she'll see it....but I doubt it though.  Anyways, back to the backlog of other sketches and commissions and stuff...

Instagram, Work In Progress

I drew a picture about 2 years ago (probably more now that I actually think about it) with Harley Quinn facetime chatting the Joker on her brand new Iphone 4.  I liked the concept, but not the end result too much.  So I decided to draw it over again...but then I thought it would be better if I drew in Poison Ivy, since they're like best friends (perhaps even more).  And then, it turned to instagram...and I guess, thats pretty much all there is to it.  

And then I though that there was a lot of negative space there, so a background of some kind is definitely in order there.  I thought about doing the typical Gotham inspired rooftop, but then I thought, if you're posting pics to instagram of you and your friends, it has to be something of you doing something over the top.  So the two ideas I had in my head were them just robbing a bank, with the bank exploding in the background, or them vandalizing the batmobile.  Hey, either one works for me.  So, expect inks and colors of this one up soon.
