Ustream Vase Cat

Finished working on Ustream… here’s another video.

Vase cat 3

Argh the stupid flower part is taking forever. =[

Watch the videos!
Vase Cat part 1
Vase cat part 2

I’m glad I didn’t record the sad struggle that I had making the glass vase cat part. That took a long time for what it was. I mean really. =/ But I do like what I have there now and it sort of works even better now I have a large part of the background in.

I’m working on a vase cat… thingy deal, stuff. It’s odd it’s all part of the weird cat thing I’m struggling to finish.

My Muse, Princess

Another one of the My Muse characters, this one is Princess. She hasn’t gotten much face time in the comic so far… would that make this a spoiler? Anyway she is the girl on fire in the contract cobra strip and she shows up later in some of the other pages I have been working on. I am actually quite a bit ahead on the My Muse comic but I’m sadly doing some of it out of order… LOL planning, watch me suck at it.

In this image she’s wearing one of the old shirts that I use to wear although this version doesn’t have sleeves. I dressed Lavender in this shirt as well for issue #5 of the mini series… I probably shouldn’t recycle my fashion into my characters more then once. =/

Buying lotion in Japan

I went to Japan over Christmas and I was going to write about my adventures and post a bunch of pictures that I took but then I got rather busy and lazy. While I was cleaning my room to find my receipts for tax time I ran into these two products that brought home from the trip and I thought I’d mention language and my lack of understanding of beauty products both here and in Japan.

While in Japan I discovered that my skin reacted badly to the shift in weather and humidity. So, I ventured out of my hotel and next door to the local Lawsons, Lawsons is a 24 hour convenience store… which is actually convenient and awesome. I don’t even like egg salad sandwiches and I liked theirs. Also they’d fry chicken bits while you wait.

I went over to Lawsons and tried to buy lotion only to face a shelf of beauty products none of which was called lotion. So, I ended up buying the wrong product… which is not surprising. While I CAN read some Japanese, it had been a very long time since I had really studied the language. And I hardly buy beauty products even in the US so I totally failed to understand the basic differences. =/

I managed to buy the lotion later with help from Marcy.

Ha ha ha, everyone is smarter than me… //// Answer is here!

The artist’s worst enemy!

This is the background I used for one of my weird cat images but I liked the background so much I thought I’d post this piece as it’s own image. Also I spent most of the time on the background so here is all my effort. =D

In other news the hardcover version of the DarkStalkers Tribute book is now available for order. Which I’m pleased about because my super cute image will be in it along with a bunch of amazing artists… I can’t wait to see it myself. =D They’ll have a soft cover version available later in the year.

Reason from My Muse

I’m doing a series of images featuring the characters from my comic “My Muse”. So, here’s Reason. He likes to tell me how things really are and even though he’s usually right I don’t listen to him much.

Ustream today at 2PM

I’m going to be on Ustream around 2 PM this Saturday.

I’m planning a color booklet of cute images of odd cats. I’m going to be painting some of my sketches in Photoshop so you guys can come by and watch me try to figure out the texture of pancakes. Don’t ask. I’ll probably be working for about 2 hours but we’ll see… hopefully I can get Superwebcam to work on my tablet PC. =/
