Ninja!

So, more stuff.

Another sidekick pin up, I did Spock, (and a bit of Kirk).


Just drew these after seeing all these cute girls walking around downtown. I wanted to draw skateboard girls, bright colors and a Shirley Temple-ish girl.



These next two I did after hearing a podcast about ninja...

I heard about this kid who let moths into a mans house, the moths covered the lights, and he snuck in under cover of darkness and killed the man.

Here's Prince Yamato, sometimes seen as the first ninja.

To kill his enemies he disguised himself as a woman so as to get close to them.

Basically, he Bugs Bunnied them.

I really wanted to draw pink cheeks/inner thighs, and these posed/foreshortened hands. Still working on color, and trying to keep it simple.



I actually have no way to explain this to you, without explaining like every episode of Sherlock. Just thought I'd post it. (Also, I don't keep posting art from this show to tell you dudes to watch it. I'm not sure you would like it. I actually feel you might actively dislike it...)

I can't believe it took me so long to draw crossdressing-Holmes, considering that shit is CANNON baby.

Also, I got REALLY into corsets for like 24 hours, where I thought they were the sexiest ever and was amazed at how changed the body became with a corset, and a even found stuff on male corsetting, but now I think I'm over it. It kinda spooked me towards the end, with the people who go too extreme. But I'm still mildly into it, just, the passion is gone.

P.S. More and more I am realizing I only like about 3 colors. Turquoise, brown and grey. Red is nice when it goes with turquoise. I think I am going to do some color play to get me out of this compulsion. I mean, I like these colors, and am OK with favoring them, but right now I feel like I HAVE to use them. So I wanna try some new shit.



Some Holmes/Watson fanart, where I am trying to avoid using cooler colors and turquoise, since that is all I use.

Some more Batwoman and Renee fanart. Good subjects for warmer colors.

For the Study in Lavender: The Queering of Sherlock Holmes book. They had a very specific image in mind, and I think it's a pretty fun idea. Since you guys might not know who all the Holmes characters are, Holmes and Watson are in one window, Mrs. Hudson and another lady (could be Irene Adler or Mary Morstan) are in the other window and out front is Inspector Lestrade and one of Holmes' "irregulars" who are like his little spies. This was pretty fun to do, and I liked their ideas, and was happy that the Hudson/Adler window was the publishers idea, especially since it is a publishing company focused on gay men. So that's pretty neat of them.

More Sherlock stuff, and more using warm colors. I miss blue and turquoise...
Anddd I just did this one. My friend asked me if I was into gore and violence about a month ago, and I said "No, not really." And I think I was telling the truth, but immediately afterward I have been desperately wanting to draw blood and violence. I don't know what that is about.

  1. 1. love spock. half because he looks asian, half because of the way he's coyly looking away but not really
    also i definitely thought the gun was a vibrator.

    i think you should do a series where famous characters who carry guns/swords are just holding sex toys.

    2. the pinups are ok super cartoony style and i totally know what you mean by seeing hipsters and just wanting to draw them

    3. ninja: i don't think i can say how much i love this one. its SO good. and it looks so professional, and better quality than your other stuff. like honestly when i saw it i thought 'dakota did this!?!?' its like you if your learning and experience was excellerated a couple months. i think the reason why its so good is because there are no obvious perspective or proportion flaws, his pose and expression are perfect, and the lighting is what really does it. it just feels secret, quiet and night. the atmosphere is perfect, this one really emotes something and tells a story.

    4. love the colors, pink and white. in fact this is a really good one. the way you framed it and the composition is really satisfying. great over all, nice androgynous face and neck detail. the only that that kindof weirds me out is that theres a single thickish black line on his thigh going into his crotch and i don't know what that is and it kindof scares me.

    5. don't get the comic...but thats okay. we don't have to share EVERYTHING

    6. wow that crossdressing thing is great. and it would totally happen for disguises. only how the fuck is his waist that thin? love it. makes sherlock look so small.

    7 this is the most romantic to me. its so private and romantic and intimate. i love this one a lot. at first i didn't see the gun and i loved it, now that i see the gun i still love it. totally emotional and i love the dark.

    8.hott. great great great. i love the way you draw renee, she's so pretty and girly but manly at the same time.

    9. cool

    10.nice work on the bruises, i don't really know if a sweaterneck would stretch like that though. dan saw this and asked if you were into blood and bondage stuff, like beating up.
