Dudely sketches

"Lets have a jumping on the bed party!" "What? Why would we do that?"

Guys are weird, but mostly because I don't look at them for drawing purposes...

also, just how many colors can my scanner make pencils come out?

Might be Alone Forever...

I feel a bit better about this now, but its still a hard thing because this is where I was at emotionally in high school, and that was not fun times. This new chisel tip pen I got is pretty awesome though.
[also the 'computer' says Social Butterfly Media, like social butterfly and social media all in one go. I am so clever :B ]

sketchy bits

The lady in the coat I walked behind out of work. That was when I decided that "work" heels look kind of goony and I don't like them. I also had been bombarded with 50s style things and so I made the lady in the tiny shoes.

then I wrote a letter because I got one in the mail! Its pretty awesome getting letters in the mail :D

Sketches

I changed the settings on my tablet and now it works much more like a really fluid pen. Its AWESOME!

I also drove my car until it was completely out of gas today. That light that comes on really is a warning not just a suggestion. I was a mile from my house and my brother came with a gas can and helped me out. Then I went and paid for a full tank of gas.

I really wish I knew her name. She is paired with the twins, and I know her animal is a deer, but I don't really know what it is. Something keeps saying Melody, but that seems not quite right. I like the letter, but I just don't know.

Pretty pleased with the sheer fabric bits though. They came out much better than I thought I was doing. So that is a total accident yay!

Good Morning!

I don't even have a tie on my bathrobe. Only mine is plaid blue and white. Zaro will club you to death with that mug though. Blue is kind of too cheery for her morning coffee, it should have been white, with lots of stains. I imagine she doesn't let anyone really wash it. That nice buildup of coffee residue...mmm?

Drew something

working on stuff for a new gallery site. I want to start doing more with my characters so they have sheets and stuff. BUT today I made a picture of what I’m wearing. I normally am a major black and white line sort of person, but I want to get better at doing color things. I want to be doing THINGS in general. So this is pretty quick, yet I also think its cute…

Minor update.

Wow its really amazing what having my desk cleaned off can do.

Yesterday I went to a bridal expo. No I'm not getting married, apparently you need another person to get married to for that. Many of my friends are or have, though. There was a fashion show. I made these sketches when I was at coffee today however.

I also worked more on a job I've been not doing. I like where its going, but I don't know if its going to turn out like I want. It may require some more artsy fartsy treatments than just throwing a half tone on it. Because Oooo I learned how to create the halftone look! Stupidly excited about that one. Probably never going to get to use it!

I made a goal for myself, because I suspect that even if I don't think they work for me I might be wrong. I just don't get super excited when I meet my goal because, I'm past it at that point seeing something else out there. But if I don't have points to hit along the way I tend not to get anywhere? That is the hypothesis anyhow.

Happy Halloween!

the part where we naw on your hat until its useless is just so we can use the yarn from it for something else later.

strangely the awesome idea I had for something to make and sell relating to yarn, means I have to go to the fabric store. cuz damn! it is hard to contain knitting needles, and sometimes crochet hooks, with yarn made fabrics. They just poke through the holes all over the place.

today's stuff

one nice thing about having time off is I have all kinds of free time to get bored and draw.

I've been feeling crappy all day. Of course on my day off.
Need to start my third scarf and watch more tv on dvd I guess.

Never ate lunch and I'm so hungry but apparently at some point there will be dinner?

card front

More that people may or maynot be able to see. Eventually I'll make a wordpress or something and just copy it over here.

want to make a christmas card out of this but I have few people to send it to. I want to put fancy font words with it, but I don't know that it will work. I printed it out down stairs and have been too lazy to go look...

powerman

the kinks - powerman

I got an ipod touch. I am so tech-info-ed out.

internet radio is cool because I can get stuff from other countries, like dance music stuff. But really do they need to talk over whole songs at a time. Like anyone cares about anything other than that the song is going on and it keeps getting interrupted. I get annoyed when this happens on regular radio too so not even that I can't understand what is being said.

blarg

new one on top repost on bottom. The face isn't right. I can't draw faces because I have a hard time looking at real faces. Which is the problem, cause people that have good cartoonish faces often started drawing regular faces.

making a website takes a long time. I guess I should just focus on getting my portfolio presentable. And handing in my resume to the people in career services at school.

radar love

full size

So I was driving home from work and I heard the song Radar Love by Golden Earring* and thought to myself (at the time I thought he was singing redeye love) how this is like one of my characters. Even though I know its not redeye, and instead radar I still think it fits.

Nicholas is death. So I can only assume he is destined to be with the character that brings life. Only it would be hard to be together? I think of the sun and the mood story and how they can never be in the same sky together even though they love each other or something. So basically they can be together from a distance. And even though nicholas is death its more of like a CEO thing, where he just has to do damage control should any of the reapers and stuff working with the souls have complications. It makes him have to be less like santa, and visit every dying thing everywhere all the time forever. I think originally his mother tried to help him when he was little but he quickly decided whatever system she had set up wasn't going to be effective and instated the current workings of dying and souls. None of which I have figured out yet.

*I'm not this music savvy, but I had to look up the song and...acquire it. So now I know all the details like who sings it etc.

nothing

I've gone from feeling excited about getting done with school (before it ended) to enjoying not having to do homework, and now I feel like I have no direction and no drive to do anything at all.

the plan is to make myself a mini working vacation where I don't play video games and when I am sitting at my computer I am working on job stuff. Or I am laying around reading books and drinking juice, which makes me feel better emotionally.

if ever anyone needed an example of what not refilling your creative well does, I am a good one. it makes life just feel plain shitty. Like an ichy sweater only your body feels to heavy to scratch or take it off. and you can't come up with any better solutions than just laying there...

full size

I wonder if may be I just don't want to complete things.

edit2: whatever its something with photobucket now.

I want to do this as the first part to my comic, nona's mother procuring for her the same apartment that she began in. But I can't do any kind of layout well enough to make me not want to throw it out. I keep seeing it like a movie instead of in panels or even in still shots. my mind just wants to rush past it. I guess maybe because its not important really, other than to make this lady scary. which isn't really happening either.
