Monday Madness

I'm very proud of this picture.

Came out very nice. The only thing I have to pick at is over her left eye, I tried to fix an accident that occurred during the hair coloring, and now it looks almost worse than it did before. The pose is a little weird, but I am really tired of drawing people just standing around.

I watched 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' last night on youtube. So now I'm drawing an elven gypsy. Her skirt is kindof short at the moment, but I am very happy with the way her legs turned out and didn't want them to go away forever. I might make it longer if I feel like it, but I'm mainly drawing it to play with sheer fabrics and wrinkles. Yes, wrinkles can be played with. And I need to, my skill at making fabric look the way I want it to is severely lacking.

My new pens are fun.

Have a nice day!

Saturday

Yes, I'm posting on a Saturday.

Just letting you people know I got the rest of the pens I wanted and an SD card reader. This, of course, means I'll probably be posting pictures of things I saw on my vacation. :) It makes me happy. In the meantime, this is why women always get what they want.

Sorry for the random link to Harry Potter (Well, Malfoy family) fanart, but it makes me happy. (click it to make it bigger so you can reads it)

Well, I'm going to go play with my pens now. Have a nice day.

Friday Update

Alrighty, sorry about not posting yesterday, I was recovering from Wednesday.

I'm listening to music I've heard hundreds of times and still love. iTunes calls it my 'top 25,' I call it awesomeness on a stick...

But yes, these songs take me back to when I started seriously drawing. I still have some of those really old and humiliating drawings I used to be so proud of. I still am proud of them, because I had to suffer through those to get to where I am now.

Every once in a while, I take time to look back at my old works. This reminds me how far I've come, and that I'm doing all this for fun. It helps when I've got no idea what to draw, and by taking time to look at old and new, I am able to pick out where I need to improve. It's amazing how music can make one such a happy nostalgic. Ah, well. I might scan something later, but in the meantime; Have a nice day. =)

Edit: Ok, I got this done kinda quick. She's not perfect, but she's cute... I really need to stop drawing at an angle... Enjoy it anyway.

Weird Wednesday

You how most people hate Mondays?

I hate Wednesday. -.- Specially today. I'm really off right now.

On a lighter note, I now have TWO followers!!!! OwO *glee* ... I'm pathetic.

Anyways, I've been practicing interaction... It's more difficult than it looks. So is making a guy look good in profile. I think I've got the basics, but I need practice. Lots of it.

... I'm thinking I really need to go spend some dogsitting money on a cupcake. A big one.... maybe coffee/chocolate flavored.

I've nothing more to say...

Edit: Ok, two more followers. Either you two pity me greatly or are perverts... *pokes 'practicing interaction'* Maybe I'm just thinking about this too much...

I've decided you pity me, since y'all are Baptists...

... Don't hurt me....

Tuesday Stuff

So, I was at Hobby Lobby today, picking out Copics. Very exciting. This really tall black guy was standing next to me looking at pencils and erasers. He looks at me and asks, "Have you gotten those before?" I was kindof surprised that he was talking to me, but I said, "Yeah, I have." "I like them." "They're expensive, but worth it." This is where it got interesting. "What do you do?" "I'm a beginner, but I mostly do manga." "Cool. I used to work for Disney, as a cartoonist." I was like O.O "Really? That's awesome." "Yeah, it was fun. Keep up with your work." "Ok" OwO

After I got my last marker I ditched the painting stuff and zoomed away to tell my mom about what happened. I really wish I had asked his name. I'm really curious now.

Btw, I got 7 markers.

It cost a whopping $50. O.o

I'll post a scan or two later. Gotta finish my schoolwork.

Edit: I reeeaaally like these two!!! Full copics! I'm proud of them.

Misdreavous and Mismagius in human form. I luffs them, they are so very much fun to draw and color. I'll admit, over a large area I get really uneven, but it works for the ghosties. =3

Misdreavous was a bit of a challenge, though, colorwise. I wanted to give her a black shirt, but since I only have a black prismacolor, I knew I'd lose all my wonderful wrinkles in the process, so I made it blue. I also wanted to make her hair black, but the pokemon is actually blue/green. So now that I have both colors, I tested and found it suitable. I hope I pulled off the see-through pink sleeve on Misdreavous. I saw someone's technique and just had to try it out.

Oh yeah, the colors I got are a; blue, green, yellow, light skin tone, pink, brown, and purple.

Expect a Minstrel sometime soon.

Monday Madness

Yes, THREE.

To make up for the lack of pictures lately.

First one, is crabbing. Yes, it's fishing for crabs. No, there are no fishing poles involved. YOu basically have a line of bait in the water and have the line on a hook so it gets pulled to the surface. When you see a crab, you scoop it up in the net and dump it in a bucket. On the way back to the start of the line, you measure the crabs and keep only the males big enough to keep. Kills your back... or mine, anyway.

Secondly, have you see 'The Rescuers?' Very good. This picture was inspired when we went out boating in my grandpa's larger boat that has an engine made by Evinrude. See where I'm going with this? That's regular Link, by the way. I found the situation more believable with him rather than his shadow.

Last one, back to pokemon. I got a misdreavous on Pokemon Indigo, which is very fun, and the more I looked at her the more I liked the idea. (I just realized I misspelled her name on the page, so I'm cropping it out.) So, yeah. I'll ink and color this one later. Her legs are fading out cause she's a ghost type.

I am trying out a new style, because I'm getting less a fan of the old one. Tomorrow I will be spending the money I made looking after those stupid dogs on markers! I'll also be buying a canvas and paint to try my hand at painting, if I feel like spending that much money in one go.

Fridays

I really have nothing to say, but I will scan something tomorrow.

In the meantime, enjoy this video.

Thursday Business

Wow, seems like a whole week since I last posted!

Ohwait.

Never mind.

Well, I is back from my trip. Everything is fine, though I thought I had a dead fishy on my hands. You see, we got him this dissolving food stuff so he could eat for a few days. The package said it wouldn't cloud the water, but was for a much bigger tank so we cut it in half. I come back. The water is BROWN and smells AWFUL. Poor baby. I cleaned his tank right away. He got a bit stunned after the transfer from BROWN to clean water, but he's fine. A bit dull and faded, but his regular food should bring his color back.

Anyways, onto business.

I did draw a few pictures while I was away, so they will be posted. However, school is getting back into full swing and I feel like I'm a step and a half behind. So I will not be fighting the scanner until Saturday, when I will post at least one. Ahhhhh, I need work, all this vacationing has got me worn out.

But I will be DRIVING to school today!

I'm so happy to be legal on the first try!

Lucky for me it's a short drive from here to school, so my first all-alone drive won't be so nerve racking. I'll still be going like 10 minutes early, just so I can find a parking spot and find the classroom without being pressed for time.

I've no more to say, really. Might post tomorrow... maybe...

Lazy Thursday

I failed you.

I didn't get any work done, so you'll just have to stick with empty space until I get back.

Sorry.

I can't wait to get away from this dog!!!! Trixie's driving me crazy and all they want to do is play. I'm trying to think, I don't want to play fetch with you!!! And just because you whine at the door does not make me want to let you in.

I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... for about the umpteenth time. Makes me wish I drew prettier boys. *sniffsniff* Why must hot swordsmen be so hard to draw?!?!?!?! *pout*

AAAaaahhhhhhhh we just had a dog panic. My mom let in the dogs before shutting up the cats, so poor Willow got chased under my parents' bed. Shadow was up in my loft, so she was startled, but left alone. Well, I'm going to get ready for yet another plane ride.

Bye.

P.S. Umpteen is a word too... awesome...

Tuesday!

As promised, two scans.

I'm not to fond of these two overall, but I like the idea. I'll have to work on their designs. So here we have pokemon girls. I had a guy, but I don't like how he's turning out. xP They're Lopunny and Glameow. Lopunny's way too plain and Glameow ... has issues. It was late, hence all the obvious problems. I have a completely adorable girlie for you tomorrow. She makes me smile.

So onto today's events!

I passed my driving test! =D I'm officially street-legal! MWAHAHAHA- i mean, YAY! *coughcough* I'm excited about being able to drive myself to classes. Good thing school isn't too far away. Ahhhhhh, ohwait, physics is next week, not thursday. whew. Oh yes, I will be leaving on a trip Friday to go visit my grandfather, so I'll try to have some set to post while I'm gone, and draw whilst I'm away.

Yah, that's about it. Bye.

Madness Monday

I have something to post, but I really don't want to scan it right now.

I brought the dogs in this morning (after putting away the kitties) so Trixie could take her meds. She was bouncing. Not kidding, this dog is a morning person. -.- I hate morning people. She's also taken to whining at the door when someone's not outside. I'm starting to think I should've charged more.

Willow went to the vet today. (For those of you who don't know, Willow is a female Maine Coon, medium hair.) She was very well behaved, but she did yowl in the car. That's normal, and Trixie is under my desk begging for my cheetos. -.-

Anyways, they had a kitten dropped off at the vet's. A little tortoise shell kitten. Female, spayed, very playful, friendly and UBER cute. A real sweetie. If you know someone who has room to take her in (and wants her), let me know, she's been there for a month(Enjoying herself, though), and they really want to find her a home.

Sorry, had to throw out a line for the kitten. (SUCH a sweetheart. I would've brought her home if Dad would've been ok with it.) But tomorrow I'll try to make up for this by posting two pictures then.

Until tomorrow, then.

Sundayness

Since I'm Liturgist this month, and you seem to be interested in it, I thought I'd post the Scripture for the week.

I was e-mailed John 10: 9-11, but the bulletin said John 14: 1-6. I asked Pastor Dorothy Ann about it during the fellowship time, and she told me to read the second one. :) She mentioned both in the sermon, so it was no big deal.

In the meantime, the dogs are nuts. Trixie (terrier) likes to mouth people's arms, hands, (my knee) and it's getting annoying. Java (lab) has mellowed out, I taught him the down command... I think. He's pretty good at it, so I'm not sure if it's the first time it's been shown to him.

Oh, and the lazy teenager who writes this blog did housework! Without being asked, might I add... and the bathroom needed it. (Cassie always leaves it a big mess. Don't lie, I know you do. -.-) Bah, I've nothing more to say to you. Goodbye.

Almost the Weekend (Friday)

It really needs to hurry up and be weekend already.

Ugh, but the week has been so short!

College was fine. I'm enrolled for an online math course. Apparently its a really good teacher, so I'll be ok.

So the dogs ate the ball they found in our yard, so we got them two giant tennis balls. The brilliant lab tried to fit them both in his mouth. -.- Not joking. We had to get the giant balls so the chew-happy terrier couldn't get her mouth around them. I'll have to get around to working with the dogs, they need to train. Big time.

Oh yah, the terrier got out last night. One of the boards in the fence was loose so she knocked it down and slipped out. Luckily the lab didn't get out, so she stayed nearby. We all panicked around 6:00 this morning when my dad said she was gone.

It's been a long day... and it's only noonish..... I may update later.... Sorry no art :(

Thursday.... odd

Still not back on schedule.

So now I have two dogs in the backyard... as opposed to none this morning. One's a terrier, and the other's a retriever. Both are puppies (1-2 years old). Thank goodness they're only here for a week. And I get good money for taking care of them. =D Art supplies, here I come! Anyways, I got no work done today. -.- None. Tomorrow I get to go to college. Yay. I'm not really looking forward to driving there, but my dad's going with me, so it helps. Well, he kinda has to, I'm not quite legal yet.... Well, that's all for today, tune in next time for an update on Dogs and College.

Breaking News!

I'm getting a soda.

Good night.

Happy Wednesday

...

Yes, I forgot about the blog today.

I'm fighting a serious art block. It's so serious, I can't even draw a girl.

I know, shocking, isn't it?

Maybe doing some chibis will help me out... I'll stick them up here if I like them.

And sorry I missed yesterday. Life snuck up and bit me with a shopping trip. And school... which I had to catch up in two subjects today anyway. -.-

Nothing else to say, really.

Oh, watch out when you answer the phone, telemarketers might be on the other end.

Edit: A Marilyn Monroe chibi is worth showing off. :) (Outfit is from 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend' in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.')

It's Monday

I'm really losing touch with the movie madness thing. So, nomore. I'll just post if I draw a cartoon character.

I'm feeling much better. However, I wasn't feeling well enough to serve communion yesterday, but I did read Scripture and lead the prayer. :) Pastor Dorothy Ann said she looked forward to the day we could serve communion together before the service, it was pretty cool. (My dad stepped in for me.) But yes, feeling much better now.

School is starting back up, so posting can be random until I get back in the swing of things.

Nothing else to say, really.

Have a good day.
