Busy day drawing!

Spend most of my day drawing and NOT packing for Sunday. HAHAHA oh well. I can pack tomorrow. Though I think my bedroom furniture is being moved in on Sunday. DAMN :< UGH SO STRESSFUL

Oh so right, drawings:

For Aumji! Its her character Lonny from her webcomic Pierrot ( Pierrot <--HERE). This was really fun to work on :D. I very rarely use colours that bright so it was interesting. Also balloons can shoot themselves.

Continuing my effort to draw my original characters more often we have, here, Storm. I have not drawn him since...4-5 years ago? Such a long while.

I changed his design a lot since, originally, he was just a darker haired Revenge. I straightened his hair and he has a more pointed nose than Revenge (not sure if reflected here). Thicker eyebrows as well. Male.

Family Portrait

Alrighty then, Aumji has been on a crusade to get me to draw my OCs more often so here is my next drawing.

The characters are, left to right, Pain, Revenge, and Death. Not their real names. I have honestly not drawn Pain since...maybe 5 years ago? Just terrible. But here they are the three siblings. In general they had a pretty good relationship. Pain and Revenge were best buddies and they both got along with Death, who was a bit more introverted. Still, they had a nice childhood, and they did care for each other.

Maybe gonna colour this. Haven't decided. Also the names, the story behind them? Named these mothers when I was in 6th-7th grade. Originality was not my forte.

I should draw Homicide tomorrow. I haven't drawn him and...jeeez. Maybe Storm and Suicide too. ALSO GUYS I NEED NAMES FOR THESE PEOPLE PLEASE HELP? ;_; I'm close to just typing out random letters and calling it a name. Revenge's real name is 'OIFHJKLDSJHF'? NOOOO. There are only two vowels and they are at the beginning! I AM OBVIOUSLY IN DISTRESS. HELP A SISTAH OUT.

Warning: Whining under cut, I would recommend ignoring it.

Muerte

Click to enlarge!

My original character Muerte. I don't draw my OCs very often. But here he is. I never paint his skin dark enough. Now that I have a reference maybe I will.

That is as straight as I could get my handwriting. HA :D

School is DONE

I have been done with school since Thursday but i've been thoroughly enjoying my days off. I haven't drawn anything or played anything. Just watched anime and tv shows. I am so lazy ):. I napped for 2 hours today and I'm falling asleep already. D: Anywho art:

Final project in my digital imaging class. It came out okay. I like how it looks in print :>

Girl Power

I think its safe to say that my figure drawing class has helped me out in my art a lot. Seriously I would not have been able to do something like that in the past.

I don't think this is NSFW. 

THANKSGIVING BREAK IN TWO DAYS *_*

Kauffman

Angelica Kauffman- Self portrait- conte crayon and white charcoal on toned paper.

Thanksgiving Break

In a few more days! So excited. THANKSGIVING BREAK I LOVE YOU. Also I'm pretty excited for my digital imaging project but I don't upload it until I have a lot of progress in it.

Today was pretty good. I'm in a great mood. I spoke to Emiro a lot and that always makes me happy and I ranted which took a hell of a load off. But yea, everything is good.

Not much to add besides that so I'll just upload my piece 'La Fleur de le Petit Prince'

Yes you can click that for a bigger version but note that the file is REALLY big.

I have a long post rumbling in my head. What duty means in american culture and japanese culture. Duty vs giri. I find the topic interesting. Or maybe i won't post about it and hope you guys look it up by yourself!

Doing better: School's ending!

Well, I'm entering the final stretch here of this semester. I'm finally not AS busy, but still kinda all the time tired from all the relentless school work. I'm doing final touches on my animation for 2D animation class. Its not very good, imo, but it was a very fun learning experience.

I actually learned shit in my digital imaging class today! That's new. But I enjoyed it, we had a fun mini assignment today. My other classes are going well too. I'm excited for some time off next week though. Moving out is no longer panicking me, so I'm doing swell on that regard.

I haven't had time to work on my Elk drawing but here's what I made in my imaging class. I had to do a self portrait. I think anyone who knows me IRL will recognize it as me.

My hair actually isn't that light of a brown. It came out much darker on the printed piece.

And that's all for today :D! 

Jaded

Elk drawing WIP. This is the image at about 25%. Its SUPAR big. :O I did get super lazy on that bg, but I like it. I'm playing around with poses more. I rather like how this is coming out.

WARNING: WHINING BELOW CUT.

I need a hug.

I'm currently in a panic. Again. The doubts are killing me. Why am I not strong enough to just say 'no'? I wish I were 15 again and this weren't an issue.

I'll get over it. I just wish I had emotional support but all of mine is completely online :\. Oh well.

UH! Look! A CG! WITH PROGRESS! prollywon'tfinish :D

CLICK TO ENLARGE (yourpenisize)

Its Elk from .hack. HE'S GONNA BATTLE SOME MOFOS WHO HAVE AROMATIC GRASS/WEED.

5 Weeks

5 Weeks of school left. Its kinda killing my soul at this point. Blegh. Should I upload some of my school work here?

Tomorrow I think I have to give a speech. Blah. But, other than that I'm pretty good. Registered for classes already. I was planning on taking this next semester off but I decided not. I don't want to fall behind, ya know?

ART FOR TODAY!

Its one of my characters from Dragon Age: Origin. Her origin was Dwarf Commoner.

I have a ton of games I wanna play but every time I start to play I get upset since I realize there's projects or homework or something I SHOULD be working on. I am tired.

I also recommend anyone who likes any time of art take a figure drawing class. It has helped me SO. MUCH.

So thats all for now. THANKSGIVING BREAK IN 3 WEEKS BITCHES. :D CANNOT WAIT UGH SO SICK OF SCHOOL.

Also, a treat! What I'm working on right now for class:

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!

A great book!

No art update today but I feel I should help my fellow artists in their artistic endeavors.

One of my textbooks for my classes is so valuable barely ANYONE sells it back because it contains to much good information. It covers sighting, value, skeleton, and ton of shit.

The book is called 'Drawing Essentials' by Deborah Rockman, a professor at my school. here is a link to the book on amazon: Drawing Essentials by Deb Rockman

The book is a bit expensive but well worth it.

That's all I wanted to say! :]

Tomorrow is my midterm portfolio review! SO NERVOUS ): !

Halfway done!

Midterms are this week. Many look at this week with dismay and horror because it entails exams and portfolio reviews.

I say "FUCKING BRING IT"

 BECAUSE IT MEANS HE SEMESTER IS HALF OVER. This semester is kicking my ass. I really need to get normal energy levels D:

Sorry for the lack of art updates. I draw a ton every single day. And I can't bring myself to want to draw more when i get home. Sorry. I seriously have about 100 pages of drawings JUST from Figure Drawing. So ridiculous XD;.  I'll eventually photograph some of those. Its just a bunch of gesture drawings. Of naked people. Yes.

Forced myself to draw something. Its under the cut for being slightly NSFW (it has boobs and no pants)

Dwarves and the stupidity of people.

I play Dragon Age: Origins a lot, and when I'm not playing i'm usually lurking around in the Bioware forums. Usually I can ignore everything that is said in there if its insulting due to trolls, but this could not be ignored. Too many people argued this and it was, quite frankly, annoying and insulting.

A little bit of background first...

Livestreaming

I actually livestreamed today! Haven't done that in ages. But yea, it was fun. 5 hours long tho, hah. But yea, finally cging again. Will livestream again since it seems its the best way to get me to update!

So yeah. Okay well.

First one is a print-sized cg that I may have for JAFAX next year!

Her name is Tristan. The bg isn't final, but I kinda want a light coloured pic :D! That arm is gonna kick my ass ugh.

Under the cut is another drawing but it is NSFW. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. DON'T VIEW IT IS A BOOB OFFENDS YOU.

A Speech

Tomorrow I have to give a speech on myself. As an 'icebreaker' as the teacher said. 2-3 minutes long. I ask Reggie to help me figure out what to say.

This was her response:

WELL SHIT SON

YOU SHOULD SAY

"HEY PEOPLE. I AM NINI. YOU CAN CALL ME GOD. I'M PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME. HERE ARE SOME WAYS IN WHICH I AM COOLER THAN YOU

1) I CAN FRY EGGS WITH MY MIND

2) I SING A CAPELLA SO WELL I HAVE MADE GROWN, NORDIC MEN WEEP WITH MY GLORY

3) ONE TIME, I WADED ACROSS A RIVER THAT WAS SO DEEP YOU WOULD HAVE TO CALK THE WAGON IN OREGON TRAIL. WHY? TO A SAVE FIVE ORPHANS AND A LITTER OF NEWLY BORN KITTENS.

4) I BENT A SOLID STEEL BAR IN HALF AT THE AGE OF 4

5) I DO NOT NEED TO CONSUME ANY SORT OF WATER TO LIVE

I HOPE THIS WAS ENLIGHTENING TO YOU ALL

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN CONTACT AT THIS NUMBER ON TUESDAYS, WHICH IS THE ONLY DAY I OFF FROM THE PENTAGON.

THANK YOU.

That should be your speech.

PS: ALL OF THE ORPHANS I SAVED WERE PUT INTO THE CARE OF ANGELINA JOLIE

Thanks a lot, Reggie. This will be the BEST SPEECH EVAR.

I did this instead of homework

I'm pretty damn lazy. I should be doing homework. I doodled instead. Augh. I don't know. I'm not in the school mood yet.

How was everyone's labor day? In my house we celebrated by cleaning. Awww yeah. I didn't finish my room though. Sigh.

I wish I had a more interesting life so this blog posts wouldn't suck so much.

ANYWAY DRAWIIING

A really shitty doodle.

A new cg!

No srsly its a new cg! I MUST BE SICK OH GOD CHECK IT OUT:

It's my friend's character Porcelain Ada! I tried a few new things and shit. Now to continue tackling my increasing list of WIPs ):.

School started and shit. Its okay, just tiring. Not too much homework.  Figure drawing is fun!

The Glamour Of Big Cities

I haven't felt very art-y lately. Everything I draw I get a headache. So, instead, I'll post my opinion on something that's always bothered me. I am writing this as a kinda rant, so it hasn't been edited and I don't care. Its something that bothers me.

I don't make is an unknown fact that I was born in New York City. I lived, until I was 7, in the Bronx borough.

I do not like New York City. I won't say hate, since that's such a strong word, but I don't like it at all.

That is not to say I don't have good memories of the place. I do. I remember the Dona and her excellent cooking. I remember playing Super Nintendo at my cousin's. I remember the little bakery with the best carrot cake I have ever had.

New York City, for me, is a bit of a trap. Like a bug-light, it's bright lights and city life attracts thousands of people. Then they learn that New York City, for all her glory, is not at all how they imagined. Really, the most realistic portrayals of NYC come from Law & Order. Constant gang wars, tons of murders, constant police sirens.

I do realize there is a bit of an issue in that I was only a child when I was in New York. But I was forced to be a recluse, and I've always been smart and I realized that everything about New York City the movies and shows told me were lies. Yes, I realize I sound bitter, and, I guess, I am.

NYC can be the place of opportunities and glamour. But only if you're privileged. Only if you live in Manhattan. But while living there, I saw, first hand, that those opportunities were tightly locked against the poor. My family's best moment was moving, of all the states, to Michigan.

Where would I be if my family were still in New York City? Probably pregnant, in a roach-infested shithole, living with my mom and not being able to get into a college. My sister and I have discussed this at length. We both understand how lucky we were to move to Michigan.

Its why I defend Michigan, even though I wasn't born here. It got my family out of THAT. Out of apartments, out of the smog, out of the crime, out of everything terrible I remember. I learned how to ride my bike when I was 8-9 because I was never allowed outside in NYC. How sad is that?

This all leads to my apex of my rambling: "OMFG G.R./MICHIGAN IS SO BORING NYC/CHICAGO/LOS ANGELES/MIAMI IS SO MUCH BETTAR".

Are you serious?

I guess my bitterness is making it hard for me to think objectively about it. I suppose I sorta understand that need to go to a big city. But, at the same time, everyone I know who has lived in these big cities hated it. Then again, I guess my sources are biased. They were all the underprivileged. The people who had murders on their stoops, the people who never spent more time than they had to in the streets in fear of being murdered. Those who didn't go out at night, knowing it was an invitation to being mugged.

I'm happy. I have never felt so safe than here in this midwestern mid-sized city. Crime is low. Our ghettos are the suburbs in the big cities. There are trees everywhere. It doesn't smell like trash here.

I'm not against visiting big cities. But I am against people spitting on their home place without truly understanding that, sometimes, a quiet midwestern town is better than the siren-filled smog palaces of Big Cities.

For example, when I went to school in NYC there was a gang war between two of America's most dangerous gangs- the Bloods and the Crips. We were banned from wearing their colors to school. I was at an elementary school and there was always a cop searching through it.

Here? You can walk through gang territory and they won't even care. Over in New York? That's enough to get beat up and mugged.

I don't know, and I know I'm rambling. I just wanted to say that don't believe that NYC is that great. Because, and this is as honest as I can make it, my little midwestern city has been greater than NYC any day.

In my memories, whenever I think of New York City everything's this...like dull blue color. A very melancholy feeling follows those thoughts. Its...what I make of it, I suppose.

Sorry for the ranting rambling this post was.

And if you're curious no I have no desire to visit big cities like so many of my peers. Instead I want to visit the mountains of Colorado, and the marshlands of Florida, and the redwood forests of California.

Sorry

No art today. Hung out with Reggie. Have an absolutely killer migraine. Going to sleep it off some more. Here's to hoping tomorrow its better.

belgh

What a blah day. Slept through something important for work, but thankfully I can make it up. I had a dentist appointment. I swear I won't have molars left at this point. Then I had to drop my brother off for a soccer game and then take my other brother to his orientation. They opened with how to pronounce 'economicology'. I almost cried.

Also found out that my family thinks I'm going out with my friend, who happens to be a girl. It made me laugh.

And, uh, yeah. So I'm kinda tired and really not in the mood to go to work tomorrow but I need too since I have another doctor's appointment next week.

School starts soon! I don't know if I'm excited or not!

oh, and drawing today!

Tristan after she gets her prosthetic arms. The forearms aren't solid, I'm just lazy. 

And uh, yea. Hope everyone's summer is going well and stuff. 

Hair cut.

I've been thinking of a hair cut, recently. I don't like my hair long, its unmanageable. I wonder if i would look good with short hair?

I'm super jealous of people who can pull off pixie cuts and bobs. ):

Oh well.

No drawing for today. Have been super moody lately and unwilling to really speak or draw.

I'm feeling restless. I want to go to Michigan's Adventure or something again. Going there really makes me feel happy, which, lately, has been happening less and less.

I mean, I don't even laugh at movies anymore. I can't. Sometimes I pretend laugh so I don't stick out.

Also, fuck you hot and humid weather.

Tristen

Click to enlarge

Aumji has been on my case recently to make a comic. I actually have three comic ideas written down but none were simple enough to make a one shot. But, going through my sketches I found this character and I decided I needed to use her.

Her name is Tristen. She lost her arms in a near-fatal shark attack. Her family can't afford prosthetics so they made her a bulking arm that has a ball and chain attached, used to kill thieves and stuff.

I have the first fifteen pages or so written out, and working on some draft pages. I have each of the three major arcs that compose the story summarized. I have a general idea of the story and pacing. I have the characterizations set. So, I'm feeling good about this comic. The hardest part is drawing her damn arm. ): I think I'll just upload the comic here to blogger though.

To explain her pose, since I know its awkward looking: Her left arm has a very heavy chain and ball attached to it. She's leaning to her right to better balance her body. Her corset there is actually made of steel to support her upright and for protection.

I spent the whole day inking this. So, I think the inking is really clean. The image is really large so...yeah. Up there is just a zoomed out screen capture. I find it really hard to keep a messy lineart in photoshop. Sigh ):. Oh well.

TABLET IS FIXED

Okay so a while back my tablet kinda busted. The usb port part was fucked up.

BUT I FIXED IT.

:D So now, update!

yeah, its really bad. I really REALLY don't like this cg. Like, loathe it. But it was too far along for me not to upload it so...Eh, enjoy. Its my character Ashley. 

I obviously have been playing with the photoshop gradient tool. hur hur.

SO, HOW IS EVERYONE? STILL WELL? READY FOR SCHOOL? SEXY?

Weird ass dream

okay, no actual art today but I had this weird ass but awesome dream last night and I want to write it down before I forget.

Okay, so, like. Man, I don't even know where to start. I can't remember the beginning of the dream. Reggie and I and her dad ( D8 I dunno) were walking around in this empty building when all of the sudden the steps started moving and the windows were warped and shit. Reggie says that she thinks there's a spirit following her. I say, "Oh, I know a dude that could help. His name is Ighrun."

So we go off to Ighrun who is apparently a homeless man in a junkyard. Next to the junk yard are a bunch of kids playing with cans. We show up and I'm like "I wonder if Ighrun is still alive". He then shows up. I mentioned that I forgot to ring that can to make sure he knew we were around, but he said it was fine.

At this point I'd like to mention that I had a nostalgic feeling about this Ighrun. I think he's appeared in my dreams before and I just don't remember. Hm.

Anyhoo, we start talking and Ighrun mentions that a powerful spirit is, indeed, haunting Reggie and her family (seriously, wtf was your dad doing there). He says the only way to settle things with the spirit is to go back to the place of the spirit's death. I'm all "WELL I don't even know where to start..." with Reggie saying, "I know exactly who's doing this."

WAY TO KEEP ME IN SUSPENSE DREAM.

So we go to what I imagine was Reggie's old hold that my mind cooked up. It was a four story mansion. It even had an elevator. Except there was no elevator and there was only an elevator shaft. The house itself was in pretty bad shape. Falling apart and all that. Anyway, according to Dream!Reggie a terrible incident happened here long before she met me. She tells me she used to have a little sister who fell down the elevator shaft and died a terrible death.

Even Dream!Nini was all, "When were you planning on telling me this? ):<"

"Never, it still haunts me...seeing her dead..."

Then I realized Dream!Nini was a bitch when I said, "Ha! 8D She really is haunting you!"

):

Carrying on we begin to look around for...something. I don't know. We're walking and then the house starts shifting with steps moving and floorboards coming to attack us and shit. Dream!Reggie, being ominous as she is, walks up to the top level and opens the elevator doors. I'm ask, "What are you planning to do?"

She responds, "The only thing I can do." (Hey, Reggie, my dream made sure you were really ooc D: )

And she fucking jumped. I run to the elevator shaft that apparently grew like 90 floors. Used to be a four story house, jeez. So Dream!Reggie's falling and then at the bottom is a little girl, except she's dead. And bloody. And very dead. I watch in horror as Reggie collides with the dead girl and then a bright light. And then they are BOTH alive and well.

So, Dream!Reggie apparently has a little sister who was once dead but now isn't. At this point her mom walks in and is all "We should move back to this house. I like it better".

And then Dream!Reggie is all, "Hey, I'm hungry."

So we go off to get some tacos.

What. In. The. Fuck.

I did leave out a few nonsensical parts. Like the one part where, even though the sister is alive Reggie's still being haunted and then WE turn into ghosts and see the 'real' version of the dilapidated mansion. Kinda cool.

Oh, and the part in the amusement park where everyone dies because Dream!Reggie's little sister is bitter.

And the part where we tailgate a family to the Mexican restaurant where we got our tacos.

Yeah. Weird ass dream.

Nothing quite like an update!

Well, today was interesting. I found out my mom's insurance is a lot better than she let on. My copay for a $700 med was $40 o_o. On top of that, I finally got something for my extremely sensitive stomach, for my fatigue, and for other issues. So it was an interesting day.

My mind is totally out of it from my constant fatigue. My insomnia seems to be getting worse and nothing helps. And people don't understand I have no problem falling asleep. Its that I can't stay asleep :\. Oh well.

Uh, I think tomorrow I may make ceviche again. It's a great sumer day snack!

Also my doctor was happy that I've lost a ton of weight and kept it off. :\ Some people can gain weight and not deal with bad side effects. I gained weight and everything went to hell and back.  Oh well, enough of that, right? ART TIME.

Click to enlarge. Its the WIP of the image I post yesterday. I may make this one a print for Jafax next year. My art is changing, imo, for the better I think. Getting away from anime and getting into...something mixture of anime and american. Yes.

Shitty ass drawing. Was mostly a pose study. No reference. I'm trying to make my art interesting my not making it just really awkward portraits. Yeah.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! :>

Dragon Age Dwarf: Selene

I have an obsession with Dragon Age: Origins and i just can't quit it.

This is a quick sketch of one of my dwarves, Selena. She's a dwarf noble origins, so her full name is Lady Selena Aeducan.

Trying more stuff with poses.

Michigan's Adventure

Yesterday my family went to the amusement park Michigan's Adventure. It was way fun. I rode the wooden rollercoaster 'Shivering Timbers'. I really love that ride. Its always fun, no matter how much I ride it.

Anyway, we spent 12 hours there, literally all day. I am very sore but Aumji told me to draw, so draw I did.

Yes I did heavily use a reference from pose maniacs for this. Its still in sketch form. I believe in  referencing.

anyway

Oops forgot to update

I forgot to update, guys, sorry! In my defense I was playing Dragon Age: Origins and...you all know how much I love that game. I know news about Dragon Age 2 has come out and...I'm less than happy about it. They're removing everything that made Dragon Age: Origins charming to make it more streamlined- like Mass Effect. The Mass Effect games are fine and all but, come on, DA:O was supposed to be a love letter to PC gamers who play RPGs. Sigh. I could go one for a long time about all the stuff that upsets me about it but I'll leave it at that.

So, art! I'm working on several RPs with friends, and I'm pretty excited. Reggie, get on AIM so we can discuss ours.

An update on the work in progress

Just a quick update on my WIP. I have more art to show, but its not ready! So, soon there'll be an update flood.

I <3 RPing. And, Reggie, we need to get our stuff sorted out.

anyway

Ceviche

My sister and I made ceviche today! Its really good. Its a quick and easy recipe so I'll just write it down for anyone interested!

Ingredients-
1/2 red onion
a fuckton of limes
a serrano chile
some cilantro (coriander)
2 tomatos
and some imitation crab meat but tilapia fish fillets work well
optional- 1 avocado
saltines or tostada tortillas

Cut up the onion into tiny, tiny pieces and put them in a bowl. Do the same for the cilantro. With the tomatoes cut along side the shape of the tomato so you down cut the middle part. You don't want the juice innards, just the drier skin and inner membrane. Cut it up into small pieces and put in the bowl. With the serrano chile cut off the ends, cut down the middle and pick out the vein and seeds. Those are super spicy. Cut these up into little pieces and put in the bowl. Cut up the avocado and do the same.

We used imitation crab meat and we washed it and put in in a glass pan. And we squeezed out a cup of lime juice and let it cook at 350degrees in the oven for 30min. We took it out, put it in the bowl with theo ther junk, put some salt on it, mixed it. and thats done!

Get the tostada, put some mayo on it to hold on the topping and take the ceviche you made and put it on it. And EAT! So good! Any questions and I'll help you out.

Anywho art for today!

Heat waves can suck my dick

In case you don't pay attention to the news there's been one hell of a heat wave pounding into part of the midwest and north eastern states.

But what's killing me isn't the heat. Its the suffocating humidity. Seriously, I don't know how people in tropical places can do it. The humidity is just terrible.

Other than that, my day has been uneventful. My insomnia has come back full force. Only sleeping 5-6 hours a night and not being able to nap. Sigh. Oh well.

Um, right art for the day is a WIP. I've been trying to cg this drawing since forever because I want to make it look like a comic book cover. I could never ink it decently.



Harlequin and Columbina. If I were to make a comic of the two, what do you think the name could be? I'm drawing blanks ):.

A CG IS BORN!

First of all: new cg is uploaded at my dA here HERE

Second, if you can't tell my new tablet pen came in the mail! Gonna try for the daily updates again! :D

West to the beach on Sunday. Got a badass tan. It was badass. Also got a sunburn. Less badass.

...I have nothing else to say ):.

Coloured pencil!? Oh snap.

You know, for how fun Jafax was I completely avoided talking about it here, huh?

Well, not much to say. I met up with Eike. Had fun. It was hot and humid. Um, first day there was a lot of drama right before my sister, brother and I were gonna go off to the con. Like, the drama was big enough it almost ruined my plans and definitely ruined my mood for a while. It was intense. Anyway, I get to jafax, and we go around artist alley (met up with  Balled Kalilee ) and then down to the vendors. Then came back up, met Eike, went back down to the vendors. Bought the only copy of Black Lagoon in the entire con (my sister and I split the cost). So worth it, I love this show. I should draw fanart.

Anyway, my sister had to go to pick up Pucho from the groomers so she left with Kevin and told me to find my own ride home. Thankfully M-dawg hooked me up.

Uh, I bought a Kirby plushie. I spent some time drawing with Eike. Uh, but then it got late and so I went home. Though my ride couldn't drop me off at home, so she dropped me off at the bus central station and my sister picked me up.

I then spend the night cleaning and killed the steam vacuum. I fell into a heavy fatigue coma. Man, I was tired.

Next day I get up, get a text from a friend that she's already at the con. Got ready. Drove off to the con. Met up with Eike again. Had fun again. Her mom treated my brother and I to lunch <3! It was awesome. We didn't spend as much time at the con this day, the vendors were lame and I was getting tired.

Eike came over to my house and my mom took us to a birthday party. It was fun. We had cake and good nomnoms. We got back home and Eike and my brother played a ton of games while I drew her a picture. :D having her and her mom over was so fun!

So yes, that's a basic rundown.

oh, and the drawings i made under the cut!

Ugh

I really wish I had something to post. I do but that would involve scanning and its really inconvenient.

So lemme find a WIP I can post instead. Lesse...

I don't know if I've posted this before, the face is still pretty bad. Working on it, I suppose. Oh man, the stomach is just terrible.

Its under the cut

Nothing today

Ugh today has been blegh. After a shitty dentist appointment I come home and my allergies decide to kick my ass. Took some allergy meds and I was knocked out for a better part of the afternoon. Now i'm too sleepy to focus but I don't want to fall asleep in fear of fucking my sleeping schedule.

I'll try to update tomorrow!

I never draw my own characters

You know I was going to post this entry with no real commentary but I think there's a major issue here that I've been avoiding like a Tea Partier. I only ever draw my friend's characters and stuff, but so rarely do I attempt to draw my own. Am I embarrassed by my own designs? Do I have no pride in the characters and stories I've come up with? I don't know.

Seriously, I only occasionally draw my characters and so rarely do I do more than a simple half-assed sketch, whilst I do full out sketches and colored doodles of my friends' stuff. Now this isn't an attack or anything on my friends' characters! I just feel...Like I'm not doing enough for myself. Even Harlequin and Columbina have fallen to the wayside.

Add in that I'm definitely not trying any new things with my art and its upsetting. What is wrong with me? My art looks the same. The only mild difference is the nose. Everything else is the same. Same poses and everything.

What is up with me? This can't be art block. Is there improvement in my art and I'm not seeing it.

Oh I disgust myself. But not in a bad way. Eugh, this will be hard to explain. Its like...a disgust that's pushing me to try new things. I have been experimenting with style but I'm not comfortable with it. I had just been hoping that in more normal doodles one would be able to see a difference and I'm not.

WELL enough of that bullshit, on to today's drawings!

OMFG I have drawings

Its true. I drew something with pen and paper and scanned it and now I have DRAWINGS OMFG :O.

Righty-o.

New tablet pen

I'm going to order my new tablet pen this Friday when my paycheck comes in.

Sigh. Shit is expensive. Its very frustrating.

I don't like moths.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm very vocal about things that scare me. And I can make jokes about them any time.

But not moths.

I fucking hate moths. They terrify me. I can't explain it. Every time I see a moth I feel like I can't breathe.

I was playing Folklore for the PS3 when my sister said "uh oh". I looked up.

GIANT FRIGGEN MOTH.

My family laughed at me and mocked me ):.

I told them that my fear of them never has been, nor will be funny.

Whatevs.

Oh, my head hurts. Really bad.

But I can't fall asleep.

Grr.

No Updates for a While

Kiba and Pucho ate my tablet pen, so I don't know how often I'll be able to update.

I don't get paid for another week so at minimum, till then.

I'll try to sketch in sketchbooks more often, but I don't know how dedicated I'd be to actually scanning the drawings in.

We'll see.

Almost forgot to update today!

Here is today's update, my oc Muerte:



I suck at manliness.

Request for Marilynn- Her Femshep

This if M-dawg's female Shepard from the RPG series Mass Effect. Had fun with the shading.

If the drawing gets cut off: CLICK!

I can't draw guns btw ):

Working through some requests!

Got a few requests piled up. This one is for my friend Lonika of her character Porcelain Ada. She's wearing a mask btw.

Dragon Age Flood

This post is dedicated to the massive amount of Dragon Age: Origins fanart I made last night. I really do recommend that game to everyone. I wish some of my friends had ways to play it. Its a hilarious game and I do love it more than Mass Effect.  The humor is just completely...just great. The characters are great too. You can never go wrong with deadpan snarkers in your game. I wish JRPGs could employ some of the stuff found in Bioware rpgs and make it their own. Mostly conversation trees and being able to actually influence events in a game rather than following a story line. (Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne does a good job of employing this).

Here is my Dragon Age flood. The small dwarf character it my PC in DA:O. She is a commoner dwarf (also known as an untouchable but that's a rant for another time). Her main romance is Alistair, the resident goober.

First Art Flood

Well, what better way to commemorate the launching of my new blog than to utterly flood the first post with a huge backlog of never before uploaded publicly drawings? I think its a great way to start. Yes. The images are all rather small so they shouldn't lag your computers.

After this post I'll be another separate of just Dragon Age fanarts. Yes.

Also sorry for the massive amount of test posts I made. It was a headache getting the damn blogger entry cuts to work. I wonder if there was another way...

Any who, I guess I should get started.

These images are going to be all out of order. Some of these are a few days old, others are months old. So...yeah.

Here I am!

I am here and no panic! This is a good start. I shall properly update later 8D! Yes.

I feel good about this.
