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

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
