Lovely little scamp

Auha! Such a cutie. Been a long time since I put him up, huh? Can't remember who this is? It's Nae, the half-luck! Well, ACTUALLY its Naedr'alindaar at a very young age. But it's still Nae. All little and yelly. Poor little munchkin. I wonder what kind of trouble he got himself into this time?

There is no good or bad, just luck

Think I'll color this later.

PS Pen? I'm so very sorry, but it just isn't working. We'll still be friends of course. But....you know. Call first.

Strange thing

I have no idea anymore.

How I've been avoiding you. I know, I'm horrible. But I think we can reconcile. I'm willing if you are. What do you say? Friends?

These are possibilities for profile pictures. The bottom one was based off of this SNK character(me luffs SNK; SNK fighters>Capcom. Take that Street Fighter fans!!)

Sharing time agains!

SO earlier this month I popped into my personal addiction: the bookstore. Mmm. I can literally get lost for hours in one of those. Something about the smell of ink and paper(I miss my job as a printer). Did my usual rounds perusing the fantasy and sci-fi section, poked through the biographies and autobiographies, thumbed through the non-fiction and then finally wandered over toward the art section. And luckily, I found THIS.

Oh my golly. What an interesting way to design things! Never in a thousand years did I think to grid possibilities. So far its been interesting. Haven't used it to its full potential yet. BUT I *did* use it to spice up my wardrobe design. Like so:

Neat, ne? Designed it off of combining leaves, petals and a monk's outfit, visualizing something wrapped, tied and ornamented. Whoo! Every day I'm a learnin'!

Sketchy

WOOF

You know, I have no idea what I have against feet. They're ugly. Take that, you ugly feet!

Work related

Concept of a waitress cat. She's supposed to work in a very high scale type thing. I wasn't told that until AFTER I drew it. And seriously? In the previous outfits I saw, the only clue I got was 'sexy'. Eh. Interpretation is fun. We agreed that this was more out of her work clothes type thing. Tho what she mostly wears is work clothes.

BUT char is copywrit to not me. So no takie. Just wanted everybudy to have a peek at what I've been up to! Once we get things all smoothed out I'll be sure to post links.

Afoot! Afoot! THINGS are afoot!

Gold in the form of paper

Ahhh.

A breath of relief escapes my lips, and I must say, relaxed as I am I still find it hard to stand still. Not sure what the cause of this new energy is. But it is so hard to sit still! Mind is fraught with ideas of THINGS to draw but each time I sit I find myself standing again to find another instrument I need to draw. I'm currently clearing an area on the kitchen table to house me for a while. Who knows what will be strewn across pages when I'm done today.

A few days ago I was introduced to an artist by the name of Amanda. Holy cow. So beautiful! It was odd how juxtapose we were from each other. She does with a pen(JUST A PEN) what I do with a pencil, and we spent a few brief moments staring at each others works. So delicate and full of life! I couldn't help but think how rough and messy my own was to hers, something I've often wondered if it's a good or a bad thing(the messy nature of my work; I've learned to embrace it since cleaning has LONG proved to be near impossible). Long since I've stopped comparing my work to others(i.e. OH CRAP! I'm different.....does that make me a horrible artist?! I better start changing myself or no one will appreciate me!! thank goodness I'm over that phase), but I still find the differences fascinating.

Perhaps this is the source of my sudden artistic surge. I found myself restless the last couple of days. I've since purchased a rather large note pad(11x14 125LB acetate mmmm yummy!) and a set of scrumptious pens. Ah ink, how long I've forsaken you. It was horrible, I know. But now armed with Ray's col-erase pencil I think we can work things out again. That and if I can find my color pencils....

But I digress again.

I was once again driven to wander for a bit and found my way to a book store. My mind has been all over the place lately so I picked up a book on numerology and chakra. I've always been interested by such things ever since I found that my Grandad, logical psychiatrist that he was, was deeply intrenched in hypnotism. And my father, man of science and sense that he is, had even at one point dabbled in yoga. Also that in years passed, various 'wise' men of the ancients used x drug for x visions. So does that mean they were just wacked out, or is there something beneath it all that modern society buries so that the truth lost for a new age to shape how it pleases? You never know for sure until you look for yourself eh? Part of the whole 'wants to learn everything' goal that I have.

Ramble over. Have some more M-flo while I release all this energy via drawing!

Music break

M-FLO: Summer Time Love

It's a great day to be alive. Go hug somebody randomly!

Productivity!

It's fun being a part of something big! Nothing brings a smile to my face bigger than being a co conspirator! MUWAHAHA!! Seriously though. Something big in the works. And this time I'm not alone so it's GONNA get done. Hush hush for now tho. But THINGS are definitely afoot.


Wolvies. True story, the first thing I ever drew was a realistic wolf. Then I drew Fenrir. My golly, I've got a love affair(artistically! we keep our minds clean around here{most of the time X3}) with that big sexy partial world ending brute. I'm weird like that.
And some guy with tattoos out of control. And a bunny. You know you love em!

Afoot! Afoot! THINGS ARE A FOOT! For reals, yo.

Whew!

Ahwooooga! I've been a busy little bee. Thankfully the deluge at work is starting to subside to a trickle. Bad news? I may be unemployed again. Meh. Promise not to be quite so whiney if that happens again! Also, THIS time I have a plan!

Other than that, I've been busy out of werk too. Got something in the works. Above picture is part of it. Actually, that galie is a rejected concept. Too much grunge(yes, it is entirely possible to over-do grunge! whodathunk?). Pretty proud how clean I'm getting my sketches these days. Mebbe Ill flirt with animation again at some point.

Oh and one more thing. Wasn't very impressed with Watchmen. Yup.

That is all!
