First, this is very good anime art you have going on here. Like others have said, thy are light, bright, kind of cheerful. But what I think I like the most about these pictures is that the characters in the pictures have so much personality. Even for the ones that aren't really telling any story, like the first one, you can just get a sense of character from the people in your drawings, which is very challenging to show in such simple drawings. Props to you!

wow your comics are really funny

I'd gladly read every one of them is you ever decide to make them out of comic booksXD

rcarter2 : Thanks for the feedback!  I try to put a lot of life into my characters when I can, especially the more simplified cartoons.  With those, there's always something going on, whether it be an emotion they're feeling or something they're doing.

ElectroGirl : Haha, thanks!  I haven't really thought about making a comic book.  I just do this for fun to ease some stress and relax.  I'm really glad you enjoy them!

I know there's a lot of time between updates with my artwork.  Occasionally, I'll get to do some for a powerpoint presentation for university (I'm not an art major; I'm a linguistics major).  For Marriage and Family, I have to do a group presentation.  Naturally, I put my artistic skills to some use.  The topic is "Selecting a Mate", which sounds really funny considering the class is full of young, eager-to-learn Christian students.  So here are some illustrations to elaborate on the process of mate selection:

The first is a well-known pair, and I honestly had no idea it would turn out to be fanart until I coloured it.




The second focuses on finding a mate with similar values, but different characteristics.




Next is an illustration of two entities who are almost exactly alike.




Fourthly, two birds who are exactly alike, but one isn't too keen on dating someone just like her.




And lastly, the most important one, it's ideal to find someone who is kind and loving.




I apologize for the freakishly large images for those of you who have smaller monitors.  It's a pain shrinking these.  I spent all day working on them.

Haha, those are funny. It's great that you're using art to teach others. x3

I especially like the second to last one. It was just funny seeing the connection. xD

First off, I love these. They are so much fun. Second, I have to ask this. Your first picture, you mentioned it is a well-known pair (Marlin and Dory ). But that last one with the penguins is the one that I was wondering about. Is that your own version of the movie Pebble and the Penguin? The boy doesn't look like Hubey, as he isn't chubby and awkward looking. But that girl penguin reminds me so much of Marina. Regardless, I love it. Penguins are my favorite creatures.

rcarter2 : Yeah, that's Marina.  I tried drawing my version of a girl penguin first, but it looked absolutely ridiculous!  So I resorted to copying a bunch of Marina.  I'm surprised you caught that!  Almost all of the people I know don't know that movie.

Someone70 : My roommate got a real kick out of that second to last one, too.  The class I presented it to didn't have a reaction to it at all from what I could tell.

I've been pretty busy and when I relax from my business, I generally just throw on a movie that I've already seen a million times.  I have been doodling, so here's a collection of doodles.  I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up here, so I may not be very active for another long while.



I went on a drawing spree yesterday.  Here's something I did for my ID on DA.  The idea is that my head's always in the clouds and I'm not too focused on being down to earth.
