Superficial Intelligence

I was going to post yesterday night, but there was no internet connection at my house. I felt almost useless, since most of my schoolwork also requires the internet. Anyway, this is the last post of this week of old drawings, which I hope you have enjoyed. Today I'll just show some miscellaneous drawings (and some that I just forgot to post in previous posts). Here we go.

This one is one of my favorite cartoons that I've made up. It's a lizard-like creature that subsequently appeared in many of my drawings (sometimes hidden in the background). His name is Jeraim, a variation of a name which I got from random searching in the Bible. The Bible is actually a fun place to look for strange names for your characters (not always for your children!).

Here is Jeraim in color next to a self-portrait. When this was drawn (in middle school), corduroy pants and Hawaiian shirts were in fashion.

You may remember from the comic strip drawings that I used to draw cartoons of my ninth-grade classmates. Here is one drawing with all of them in a skate park.

Going back to my anime-inspired era during middle school, here is a funny drawing. It has Pikachu doing some sort of Kamehameha thing, similar to Dragonball Z.

I showed a picture featuring "The Blue Flame" before, but here he is in color. Notice how even his hair is on fire.

As a Final Fantasy fan, I can't avoid drawing characters from this series. Here are the ladies from FF7.

This next two drawings are a bit more recent (less than two years ago). This first one is a cartoon representation of my Speed Team while I worked as an intern at IBM. They were a really cool bunch!

Finally, drawn during the same internship, as a suggestion from one of my teammates, here is XML Guy! For those of you who are programmers, notice his body tag in his chest (complete with surrounding arm brackets) and his extensible cape.

Well, that's it for this week. Someday I hope to show even older drawings from when I was in elementary school, which I have at my parents' house. I also hope to keep drawing some new ones, including the comic strips, which I have neglected this semester. But for now, I simply hope you have enjoyed this drawing week's posts.
