The Little Narwhal
The original unicorn! Ah whales… how can you make them hot? I know, draw them as youthful dudes wearing sea weed. Though I’m freaked out to find out on google that narwhals DO NOT have a horn and in fact it is actually a long tooth. The way I’ve drawn it here it’d have to go through his brain. =D
Bonus: HA HA HA HA HA I made it more like a tooth!!! Poor Narwhal dude.
So, I’m definitely going to A-kon this year. Which will be interesting. I plan to take many photos of people in strange outfits… I’m not even talking costumes I just like it when they dress up for the cons. Sometimes it’s unintentionally hilarious. I take photos of lots of people in awkward fitting clothing, mostly pants cause the pants people are selling to chicks now-a-days are terrible to the feminine shape and make us mostly look weird and terrible. I need to draw some from all those photos I took at last year’s A-kon, I really want to get down the horrible shape of the muffin-top because my brain refuses to let me draw it due to the fact that it doesn’t think it looks right at all. So photos have to be taken cause the muffin-top can make even thin anorexic girls look lumpy and fat. It’s not right. =/
I’ll be in the Komik Market at A-kon on May 30th through June 1st. I’ll be at the Bassanimation table though I think it’ll be under a different name since we’re sharing the table with… Steven the guy that ran the Komik Market for the last few years. So I’m not sure what name it’ll be under. I figure I’ll mostly be hanging out at the con and helping Shawnna sell buttons. Hopefully there’ll be room behind the table but that’d be okay… that way I might roam the con a bit and see if I can find some of the people I want to see. It’d be nice to actually see people for once.
Speaking of seeing people at A-kon two years ago I got to see the lovely Shirotsuki and we traded sketches. This was the image I drew for her of her tree guy, Cure. She’s suppose to be at A-kon again this year and hopefully unlike last year where I didn’t see her at all maybe I can get out and bother her. =]
Other Conventions I’m going to be at this year:
A-kon in Dallas… May 30th - June 1st
Anthro-con in Pittsburgh… June 26-29
Comic Con in San Diego… July 24-27
That’s all of them that I can think of.
Part of the prize things I did for the winners of my Saiko and Lavender Contest. The winner of the art part of the contest asked me to draw Satan from Saiko and Lavender. I gave him a tie. =D
Taxes are finished… though I still have to sign the forms and mail them off. Whew!
I know, I always say this but this year I’m going to keep better track of my crap so tax time won’t be hell on earth. =X Sadly, I just know I’ll end up slacking and be pondering what the hell I made at San Diego Comic Con again next year cause I forgot to write that one super important number down… or something. Honestly, I just need to be better organized. On the other hand I actually cleaned my room and now I’ve found most of the things I was looking for so I could move forward on projects. Yay!
Also an image of the kid that I made to reply to a comment in the last LJ post… and also because I found my inking pens and I wanted to see how much work I’d need to do to get back into the swing of things. It looks like inking won’t be too hard to get back into I just need to draw the characters a little bit to figure what the hell I was doing with them. Sigh.
“Never put off to Tomorrow what you can put off for months and months… and months and months and months… ect. ” It’s not artist block, honestly it’s more like stupidity. =/ Smacks self in the boob. But here’s a small update on where I am.
But yay! I found my inking pens while searching my room for tax info. Now I can get started again on the inking and maybe the comicing and the tearing of hair and the wailing and flailing… Ah, well at least there’s the job and the money and the… shit, I still want to get back to the comics. =/
Half of this page is still at base inking levels. Which is where I lay down the lines without any weights. It looks a bit odd this way and I always think it’ll look like crap when I do this but then I put down the final lines and it looks fine. Sighhhhh.
But first taxes, then estimated tax payments, and then the paying job of money to pay for the taxes and then maybe the limping comic bear trap. =[
O_o My fetish!!!
I was a tomboy for a very long time and I still have no idea how to apply makeup. I have a bunch of it but I hardly wear it enough to figure out how to put it on. I’m a very lazy person and would rather spend the time sleeping or surfing the internet or drawing or thinking about drawing and not doing it. =/
Speaking of laziness… there is more to this image. I just haven’t finished drawing it.
Cough! So, after a long period of not posting I present more Mangay. Don’t worry I’m planning to post some girls at some point. I think… well I have plans.
Anyway, here’s some Flaming demon Mangay that’s like if Cloud and Sephiroth had a baby. Like a bender human design full of gay.
I think I’m just going to make these guys a vague exploration of character design. Cause I can’t really call it fan art if it doesn’t really have anything to do with the original. I mean it’s still sort of fanart but it’s more vague. Waves hands around. Enjoy my character slurry.
Anyway, Pretty? I’ve been coloring a lot of art recently like for the last two and half years for um… *Cough* a site, yep. Anyway, so I’ve learned a lot about coloring and stuff I’ve just never had a chance to update here with any of it. =]
Feel free to let me know if these are boring. I’m afraid that I have less talent at jotting down things that had happened to me in an interesting way and more talent in the scribbling art department. It doesn’t help that I sort of feel like there are still people eying my journal in the hopes that bad things will happen me or something. Paranoid delusions aside those people can suck it. I would think they would have hopefully moved on with thier lives.
Is it just me or does it seem a little like the comic/art crowd has filtered away from the LiveJournal flavor on the internet to some other site more interesting? Not that I’m any better with LJ. I don’t honestly read through my friends list. I just pick journals of people to vist that make me happy and I don’t even look at the rest. Right now I think it’s down to 4 journals at the most, Which are, in no order: ursulav (artist of cute and odd things, her journals are always interesting no matter what they are about and she makes me feel happy and lighter. She’s getting a chidrens book published next year and draws the webcomic Digger), twigcollins (a writer, at the moment working on an original story for NaNoWmo… or however that thing is spelled… but she also writes fanfiction. She amuses me and makes me smile,), mistful (another writer, started off writing fanfiction that I really enjoyed and will have a three book young adults novel series published soon. All of her post are way more interesting and witty than mine. Makes me laugh when she does her movie reviews… er rundowns), and officialgaiman (also a writer but one in his prime. Started in comics as the writer on Sandman for DC comics and currently all over the map. I like his posts because he always seems rather busy and does a lots of different things in both his writing and his life.)
I sometimes read more journals then just those four but it depends on how often the journal gets updated and whether I can keep up or not. There are some people I want to read more posts from that don’t post enough and some that I want to read that just post a little too much. Which is neither here nor there as I think those people are awesome even if they are/n’t posting. =] But yeah it seems weird that I get this odd feeling that people have moved on. It’s sort of sad I actually still really like Livejournal way more then most of the sites I post to… heh, including my own site. =D Anyone have any journals they would suggest? People that make them happy to read their posts? I’m sort of interested about who’s still out there in the wide world of Livejournal. Gimme names, plz!
And here’s some sketches of one of the guys from my very old Hooligans folio. Trying to get a handle on how I’d draw him now that my guy bodies are a little more structured. Dragons sadly, are still really hard to draw. Maybe I need to practice them more too. =<
LJ says my last update was 14 weeks ago and I believe it. I’ve been busy but nothing that should have kept me from posting. Well, other then my bittey kitty. Who’s currently trying to get me to go to bed by jumping on my keyboard and terrorizing my plastic bags, then nipping at me when I try to move him. I hiss at him.
I still like him lots… though when I first found him I gladly would have given him up. I found out that I don’t really like kittens or understand them and instead prefer a regular adult cat. Though having a tiny kitten show up on your doorstep takes some of the choosing away from you. Kitty is now sighing… loudly. A habit I fear I taught him. I may take off here and finish my update in the morning.
I was going to see how long it took for the cold medicine to kick in. I’ve got a runny nose and congestion that I’m trying to kill with drugs and sleep. It’s going okay but I could probably use even more sleep. I now know when the night time medicine is working cause it’s right when I feel light headed and slightly dizzy. Getting to bed is weird when you feel the room moving all the time. Kitty is back to biting my plastic… I guess that’s better then licking it, maybe.
I give you all art for right now.
A woman from a comic that I was drawing… I wonder if I’ll ever get it finished at this point. I really hate making 8 pages and then not even finishing them.
This is from a set of Index Card pictures that I drew last year or so. This is number 6 I believe. This is the Kid holding an apple that doesn’t look that tasty.
I have more art to post but that’ll have to wait. I think I need some sleep right now.
A-kon, the anime convention in Texas is fast approaching. So, I’m trying to finish up the last of my newer art for it and looking for all of the older art that I’ve made and lost through out the year. I’m sort of disorganized on this. Looks at the stacks of art in my room. I did finish another of my birthday pictures so here is my April Fools picture in color:
I have one more picture to make, then printing all my stuff, filling out the art show forms, cutting down the mat board, finding a table cloth, and seeing if I have a ride before I head to the con some time on Thursday. =[
