Hello everyone,

A lot of stealing has been happening to friends and co-artists, no matter how simple or elaborate their works are. Watermarks alone can't even save anyone anymore. I can only hope hard that people would practice a little more discretion before considering stealing and profiting off of the work of others.

Thanks and warm regards,

Eri ^_^

P.S. - For old followers, I will start using this Tumblr as not just exclusively for doodle comics. I will be posting other artworks/designs sometimes here as well. I hope thas alright for you all. :D

Heya guys!

Thanks for all the love for my first (pink) version of this! And thank you, Fuckyeahfirefly for featuring it! Because of said love, I decided to make this second version for those not so into pink. I think this is a little more Kaylee-ish! This is for all the support. Thank you again everyone. Lotsa shiny love. :)

If you are interested, this design is also available here on my Society6 page as shirts, prints, iphone cases/skins, and now THROW PILLOWS WHEE! ^_^ (Pink version here). Enjoy!!

Okay I think I should stop it with the Jon Snow art now. He’s not even a favorite character of mine in Game Of Thrones! It’s just, I always felt so bad for his character whenever his virginity and sexuality were being challenged - to the point where eskimo chicks and chubby guys make him feel awkward. He talks about seeing the redhead prostitute naked once, but I never read the books so that could be BS for all I know. He’s usually very meek about it but this is how I see his inner self actually reacting. Ladies and gentlemen, sexually frustrated and defensive Jon Snow. (His lines here were taken verbatim from the TV show LOL)

Ros actually doesn’t even exist in the books so yeah, oh Jon Snow.

HAHA I knew it was BS! Only imaginary vaginas for Jon Snow!

Hey, my name is Dana. I'd like to ask you who tought you this way of drawing, I'd love to draw like you because I find it so cute. Answer me as soon as possible please, thanks. Love.

Hi Dana!

Aww shucks, thanks! That's really sweet of you to say. :) I don't know, really... It's just always been sort of my doodle style that has been growing up with me; and I'm pretty sure I unconsciously picked up some of it here and there from other artists just by browsing. I always found it simple since it's just dots and lines and some extra details just to not make it look like basic stick people. :D And bear in mind, I've been doing this for quite some time now on notebooks and stuff so I've gotten a lot better on the details.

Just surf around, read comics/webcomics like say Books Of Adam, The OatmealJohnny WanderNimona, and Scott Pilgrim to inspire yourself. I use a pen tablet and this Photoshop brush preset called "Stumpy Pencil" for my doodle comics. Sadly, I no longer have the link, but I'm sure you can find it by googling it. :)

Hope this helps! :)

Singapoor

I've recently (and finally) decided to leave my last job for a new one. But thanks to some sad little personmeat, I'm guessing the new job is not really going to work out. Though on the brighter side of things, I have had the chance to put together some work experience to lug around so I am now taking some time deciding what to do next. My friend Lala and I have been thinking about options such as looking for a year job or something somewhere out of the country. We were both thinking about Singapore so we could probably check out a lot of art school possibilities there as well if we could muster up the funds.

Thing is, we're both so ready to just go at it. We're ready to go out and experience new things and look for fulfilling stuff to do! So what's stopping these fluffy sloths!? The heart-wrenching thought of leaving our pets behind; me with my hamsters and her with her cats.

I really have nothing more to say on the matter. Based on priority levels: maybe we just don't deserve these horizons. HAHAHahaaahhhh~ damn.

P.S. - I'd like to say hello to my doodleblog's new followers! Thank you so much for your support! You are all very awesome peoplemeats. :) If you like art and design, pay a visit to Lala's tumblr! --- lalavicencio.tumblr.com

STAHP IT BEANS

Almost two months ago, I purchased my two hamster roommates from the pet place. One was named Malcolm Reynolds, while the other one was Beans. Malcolm (or Mal - if the name rings a bell: yes, it's that Malcolm) was an average sized baby hamster, chosen on the basis of him being smart. True enough, he has escaped the hamster ball on two occasions now, and he always ran back to me. Beans however, was chosen for both his high energy and his incredible tinyness. Of all the runts of the litter, he was the runt.

I thought he was always going to be Mal's little cousin while they grew up together. The pet store guy mentioned that the two of them were around the same age. As the weeks progressed, Mal grew into a very fit looking, average sized macho hamster. Beans grew into this GINORMOUS fluffy ball of doom fat. I can definitely say that he is now bigger than all the adult Cambells Dwarf hamsters I've ever seen. Hell, he's grown into the size of a juvenile Syrian (aka Teddy Bear) hamster.

I have no idea what made him grow so big after being the miniest of minis. It's like that duckling story except without the sexy bird ending. I have looked into it and found that he is not unhealthy at his state as he is still a ball of energy (more so than Mal). What I find adorbs is just the fact that when they wrestle, Beans is always the underdog.

Oh, and when they wrestle, Mal looks like he's bouncing on a fluffy bed LOL

I bought this moustache necklace thing that my dad couldn't seem to understand. I illustrated it in the simplest way possible. Oh yes, did this while walking with him in public too. I bet he wonders how he produced offspring like me. :>

Thought I'd just get this out of the way. This was the first comic doodle post I did in this style. This was when I decided doodling stuff that happens would be way better than putting them up as status messages. Thanks for the love, guys. <3

I think this happened around early last year. My boyfriend got me following John Green on YouTube via the Vlogbrothers channel. I learned about his published books through that as well and I got hella interested, so I went to bookstores around here looking for them. I had no luck finding them because for some reason they didn't stock them here at the time. The last bookstore I visited to ask about it was the most memorable one. I just gave up on my search after getting this answer. Haha! She basically sent me daughters when I asked for sons (dangit I still sang it in my head). Her suggestion's helpfulness was directly proportional to its funnyness. I liked how nice she was about it anyway. I was grateful for her desire to help and for the unintenional lols. c:

On a side note, I am glad that all his books are finally available in local bookstores, thanks to his rapid rise in international fame through his most recent book release: The Fault In Our Stars. Brilliant book. I suggest you all check it out sometime.

Did this one awhile back. Backstory: When 50 Shades Of Grey by E.L. James first started getting famous, I decided to read up on where the book came from instead of what the book was actually about. I expected something like Twilight but with more wet panties and bad characterization. I didn't think to add in anal beads and spreader bars into the equation.

This is what I get for not reading the synopsis. *facepalm*

Eri

Test post! *hamster dance*

Anyway, might as well make this one a useful post. I fnally decided to make a dumping ground for my doodles and comics. Welcome to Flamingo Scratch! I hope you enjoy whatever crazy I post up here.

I'd like to make my first post out to a budding graphic artist friend of mine, Lala! She is slowly making her way up tumblrfame land, so please do take the time to visit her page >>HERE<<. Who knows, you might end up buying one of her pieces. Hihihihihi.
