Description After not really drawing much for a spell, I finally produced something.

Murdoc, enjoying his early retirement or whatever it is he wants to call it.

Don't ask. Just a sketch of him reading the paper. Was going to be something else, but I was having a helluva time with the rest of his body, so I put a newspaper in front of him.

I'm so unoriginal.

Murdoc (C) Damon and Jamie

I really love your drawings... I think you capture him very well - especially doing something mundane as reading a paper

Ah, thank you! I've been in the slump from hell right now. Nothing is coming to me. It's painful.

Just a doodle after a long break from drawing. Trying to work out the rust.

Thank you! I feel rusty as hell, actually. Other than a sketch I did as a gift for a friend, this is the first in a while.

I think I'm one of the few who are on this site, LOL. She's 8 1/2. I've actually used some of her personality with Alec as a child, LOL.

Shocks people even more. Fan fic writer, fan artist, and I'm a Mum

My monster would beg to differ, LOL. She tells me that I'm not like other moms and I need to act more "mom-like" or something, LOL. I dance to the beat of my own drum. She will figure it out when she's older that fitting in isn't always the best option.

The newspaper was my saving grace, I swear. Had it not been for that, I prob would have scrapped the sketch.

LOLOLOL, he's just so priceless! I can just see him here, trying to read the paper, but I'm pretty sure he's looking at the Page 3 girl!!!

Beautifully done, D, just wonderful!

FAVED!

TheDorkzilla In reply to NiccalsNightstalker [2012-04-24 14:23:53 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like. I figure he's browsing the paper, something getting his attention. Enjoying his morning without worrying about rehearsals, record discussions, the nobs at the record label.....Finally able to relax and enjoy what his success has brought him.

I love the way you've done his hair. 75% off! I want to go to that sale.

75% sale. If this is indeed a uk based newspaper that will be a good bed/sofa/Argos advert.

Dfs. It maybe dfs. They have Constant sales....

I need a new bed. So first I have to catch a flight back to the UK, then head to the nearest Argos... I hope they don't run out before I get there. XD

Argos always has beds! Dreams is the place to go though for beautiful beds.

I have images of me walking in and laying down on every bed in the place. You need to test before you buy. That'd be my excuse, and I'd stick with it.

You are allowed to! We went in just to look and the lady kept making us lie on the beds

Cool. It's the best way to buy a bed really. No sense in buying it if you get it home and find it's uncomfortable. Sitting on it is not a good way to test it, and I don't sleep sitting up.

I like it. Glad you're drawing again.

Love the expression on his face, it's like he came across something unpleasant ir that could just be his morning face.

TheDorkzilla In reply to Araiya [2012-04-24 13:21:12 +0000 UTC]

Same here. I figured it had been long enough.

Maybe morning face. Or something in an article caught his attention? Note the "fuck me, i'm famous" mug beside him XD

Araiya In reply to TheDorkzilla [2012-04-24 13:36:54 +0000 UTC]



I noticed that . Now he can sleep in as late as he wants without worrying about being in a studio early in the morning. He was very staunch about being on time for that. Especially in my version of things.

I kind of see his kitchen looking like this: [link]

TheDorkzilla In reply to Araiya [2012-04-24 13:43:01 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, totally. I was almost going to look for a kitchen background to photoshop him into, but decided against it.

I see him doing a bit of both. Stickler for time, but sometimes late or practically a no show because he spent the night before drinking himself into a coma.

Araiya In reply to TheDorkzilla [2012-04-24 14:04:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I can see him doing that as well. Then he's irritable for a while coming down from his hangover.
