Ezekiel Norton

Ezekiel Norton is a Cartoonist / Tinkerer / Super Genius. He is currently working on a webcomic, Epee, which has not launched yet, as well as a few other projects which aren't as high priority. This blog will be used for posting his personal drawings sketches and, one expects, the usual Tumblr silliness as well.

Switched to Manga Studio 5 this weekend. Now to adjust.

Cartoonist Problems: That feeling when the page you’re working on only has one panel that turned out any good, and it’s one of the best looking panels you’ve done.

It’s a shame the page itself is going to be so forgettable otherwise.

A redraw of an earlier drawing. It’s the new year, so time to redraw things, right? Anyway, here’s Tamaki and Haruhi from Ouran in fancy EGL-type clothing again.

More from that project thing I mentioned earlier.

For a project I’m working on. I liked how it turned out, even if Usagi looks a little young here.

I do love the look of colored lineart. I wish it didn’t take so long to do.
Happy 20th, Sailor Moon!

I needed some coloring practice anyway, so I thought I’d enter Bryan Lee O’Malley’s AltRamona contest. 
Sob Story: I only budget myself $20 a pay period for comics and I already bought the books in black and white, so I find it hard to justify buying them again even though the previews I’ve seen for the color books look really sweet!
…wait, that’s not a sympathetic sob story. Let me try again:
I am a simple penguin who taught himself to read and then how to draw, and even though I love comics, I cannot buy any because while I make decent money as a waiter, I do not have any pockets and therefore can’t carry a wallet.

EDIT: Note for people not familiar with the contest—I didn’t do the original linework in this one. It’s part of a Tumblr coloring contest by the author. Linework is Bryan Lee O’Malley’s, colors are mine.

An attempt to refine and get more used to that Magical Girl outfit.

Decided I needed a new avatar, so I did a new self-portrait to crop it from.

Why Allison, you’re looking especially noodly today. Perhaps your creator has been reading too much CLAMP!

I did most of this drawing at my day job. It’s been a day since I finished it and I don’t hate it 100% yet, so that’s got to be a sign of progress, right?
