Kristi O's Sketches

A collection of badly scanned pages from my sketchbook, filled with ramblings about the aformentioned badly scanned pages from my sketchbook. Intended as a daily blog, probably won't turn out that way.

To view a larger version of my scans, please click the "Read More" link at the bottom of each post.

I was flipping through my sketchbook trying to decide what new page to post up here, and I decided that I might as well keep going with my Francis/Francine story by posting some doodles of me trying to ‘find’ Francine.

Introducing a new, yet kind of old character: Francis. Francis’ design has been kicking around my head for a while now, but it was only recently that I finally had a brainstorm and figured out what her story was. It turns out that her story involves her meeting a doppelganger of herself, who is a manifestation of her innermost dreams and desires, named Francine.

I’m just going to ignore how much time passed between this post and the last one where I admonished myself for posting so infrequently. Instead, here’s a page of doodles starring Captain Jack/Jackie/Jacqueline.

Man this one sketchbook I got does not take well to my scanner. Serves me right for being greedy and getting the one that was bigger than what I normally get, can’t get a single thing to scan correctly unless I rip pages out and squash them in.

Anyways, here’s Queen Hedda, one of my oldest characters that I’ve doodled thus far.

A quick follow up to my last post, here’s a random set of doodles of faces I did the other day, which resulted in inspiring me to think more about my idea involving the Wizard Hughes that I laid out last time. The face of the man with round glasses, third from the bottom right, is the face that I imagine for Wizard Hughes, and you can see I attempted to play around with the face a bit more, push it a bit, which I’m still in the process of doing.

I’ve got a bit to talk about in regards to the story idea behind this character. To sum up this page, this is me trying to figure out a pose for this character. He’s a butler, and so I wanted him to be in a pose obviously serving a drink in a wine class, which is meant to be framed by the negative space around his body/arm

Tried to pick out something a little more interesting for today, a new character/story idea I have. This is Palette and Brush, two characters who I’ve been playing around with for a month or two now.
