Still sick...

Still sick, and deserving every second of it.

Vent Art - Wash Me Clean in Your Blood

I'm still very, very sick. In a lot of pain and discomfort, but I'm sure you guys don't care about that. Here's a little piece of vent art, entitled "Wash me Clean in Your Blood." I really wouldn't mind if the Big Guy washed out my innards in Christ's blood right about now. The bacterial and viral infections are doing everything but keeping my guts clean. I listened to this song while I drew this. Anyway, enjoy.

Lebens unwertes Leben, dennoch Leben

I only had time for touching up some doodles today.

Me mum got something today that completely surprised me... my family nearly never gets anything brand new (we can afford new things all we want, we're just way really frugal). It's a weird feeling, yet at the time it's a nice feeling. I don't wanna get caught up in it, though, for fear of developing a habit of buying new things just for that nice feeling. Addictions are bad. :I

No, this is not pr0nz

I repeat, not pornographic. Clean your dirty mind. This started out being just a sketch for me to check how well I knew my muscle groups (my muscle groups... notice the unflattering tummy there), but I think I'll finish it up and make it into a Long Johns gag gift for a friend. Yes, I do see the terrible disproportions, most notably the left shoulder that looks like it's disconnected or something. And the hand that I quickly scribbled in there. Oh, and the skin colors that I slapped on there suck too, I know. Anyway, just a sketch so far.

Ich hatte einen scheißlig Tag. Ich bin Lebens unwertes Leben. Gut(e) Nacht/Morgen.

It is late and I am tired.

I'm adding Red, White & Blue to my Inara George drawing. Her scarf's gonna be a flag when it's done. :]
A quick sketch I made when I got to talk with my bud again, to show Talos' excitement at talkin' with his best bud again! I wasn't in the mood to doodle out some long "ZOMG I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU OMG I MISSED YOU LIKE HOW ARE YOU AND STUFF" type message, I just added a heart for brevity. And, um, yeah, I know it's disproportionate, but not immensely. Blargh.

And as the day went on...

That's moving along nicely...
Heh heh... yeah, the sunlight messed the
I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I'm posting both.

Yay for not being intensely sick any more!

Praise be, I'm not sick any more! I didn't sleep the night before last, and I started feeling sick about 4:30 yesterday afternoon, so I took a nap. I woke up a few hours later, feeling very sick and queasy. I was too sick to get on the computer and even just say good night to my best bud, so I spent an entire hour typing up a meager good night text (I couldn't look at the screen all that long without feeling like I was gonna ralf, so I'd have to type it up without looking and glance at the screen to make corrections). I feel terrible about that, but I'm sure he had a great, productive night without me.

Anyway, this is just some wolf anatomy practice that I started maybe half an hour ago (?). I want to be an artist, and I'm going into college double majoring in Studio Art and Digital Media/Design. The problem is that I don't have an awful lot of time to do art (I'm doing it instead of normal homeschooling today, woot). I'm going to need to do a lot more practice work before my portfolio is any where near being ready. So right now I'm just scanning some photos of wolves in different poses and sketching their skulls in as best as I can... Practicing on the different angles, foreshortening, etc. Basically just showing myself how I understand the structures involve, and then referencing real skulls to correct my mistakes.

It's pretty fun so far. :] Expect more pictures soon. I don't think I'll take any breaks, aside from talking to my dad when he calls (it's great that he's in Afghanistan, but we still get to talk), and possibly eating. Oh, and updating this with screenshots. Hope you all are having a nice morning.

Wow, it's nearly Guy Fawkes Day

So, yeah, I got an Inara George album and a The Bird and the Bee album for my birthday, and I'm in love with 'em. So here's one of my sketch doodle thingies of Inara George, moving along progressively as I inked/messed it up.

Yay for having a birthday and voting

Making some progress there...


For Halloween. :]

oC1.1b love

I love oC1.1b. Mostly because it's awesome, but also because it's freeware. :] This is just a quick oC drawing of me and my bud Seff, respectively, on a beach (Atlantic or Lake Michigan? like I know), posin' for a cell phone snapshot. Not quite finished, especially considering my face in this is SCREWED UP. Look at how out of proportion my smile is from the rest of my features. It's like... blargh, way down to the left where it should not be. I'll fix it before it's painted, I swearz. Good night one and all.

Halloween's soon, ain't it?

Halloween falls on a Friday this year. The local school district also isn't having school that Friday. That was not smart - of course, the public school district here isn't known for much of anything other than drugs, gangs/gang shootings, bomb threats, and large teen pregnancy/abortion/felon/dropout rates.

But that's not what this is about. This piece is just basically what happens when I doodle something up in 3 or 4 minutes to some nice Tchaikovsky, when it just so happens to be near my birthday/Halloween. (: Fun, yes?

I am not dead

...just sick, tired, and busy.

Like always. (:

Here's something I doodled really (really) quickly in oC1.0b:
Human Talos concept doodle. Enjoy.

Edit: Forgot this one. I was working on it a few weeks ago... It's Vash shifting back to Talos after goring someone/something. I think.

Carthage College, or UW-Parkside?

I've now been accepted for admission by both my #1 and #2 choice schools. Darn you, life, why must you get so complicated?

Anyway, this is just a personal gifty that I sketched up in a few minutes for my bud. That's Talos and Seff, our wolf fursona character thingies. I've been listening to these two songs a lot since the first time I heard them last night, and they got me to thinking of teh Seffers (and Hada, too, a little bit): Over by Ivy, and Mixtape = Love by Viva Voce. Enjoy (and listen to those songs, they're great)!

Dangit, GIMP 2.6

For some reason, all of my tools stopped making visible marks on this pic while I was practicing with Paths in the latest stable version of GIMP. blakjds;lfkajds;ofiang;l I wanted to finish that.

Congratulations are in order!

Zadie/Hada was accepted today by the college she applied to! 8D This says "Congratulations" in 6 languages. Left --> right, top --> bottom: French, Russian, Hebrew, German, Latin, and finally English. Those language have significance that you probably wouldn't understand. Bet you feel left out.

So, yeah, I hope she likes it/them. I'm so excited for her. 83

It's been a while

Figured I'd start uploading doodles here again. Hope that my absence didn't worry anyone. Good night/morning/day.

[EDIT]

Just picked up some really old tiny sketch and did these:


As you can tell, the only difference is the backgrounds. I just wanted to convey the feeling of Talos being mighty tempted. Anyway, I'm done for the night/morning.

It's been nearly 2 months

...I've been busy, I've been sick, I've been depressed--but I've also been drawing a lot, so I guess that makes up for it, right? I'll try posting some recentish stuff on here tonight. Just thought I'd update this before I forgot to again.

Tablet doodles

Chrona, one of my favorite anime antagonists, and also one of my favorite Soul Eater characters.
Viktor, a character in my Benders fan universe game thing. In a blizzard... Yup.

Long time no see

Yay for vacation and crap. Anyway, a lot of it was fun. Here's some of the stuff that I doodled when I could.Practicing drawing PW in PinoyWolf's cartoony style. His style's awesome.
Once again, I fail at proportions, but at least not terribly this time.I couldn't quite figure out how to draw a certain expression on PW as a canine, so I drew him as a human wearing the expression that I wanted. When I tried it out on the canine version, it didn't look much the same, so... Yeah, guess that didn't work.

Someone somewhere requested that I draw Talos trying to fit through a doggy door, but getting stuck, and having a cat push him in an attempt to get him in. So, uh, there you go.
Guess who keeps getting me through deep depressions?
I started drawing an octopus randomly, and then I felt compelled to draw it with a cup of tea and top hat, as if it were British. It was an odd compulsion. O.o

"Dear comrades, let us not forget our dear friends, the... cuttlefish." Well, it's octopus, not cuttlefish, but oh well. Om nom nom.
I was rather hot at the moment.This is actually an old depression doodle from back when I sprained the tendon in my wrist. I don't know why I never uploaded it to dA, I really like it. Maybe I will.

Thanks all for reading.

Why, yes, it has been 5 days

Sorry, but I've been really busy with the whole... getting ready for my grandparents and dad to visit... type thing. I've been doodling in some of my spare time, but I'm too tired to scan anything now. So, before my grandparents come tomorrow, and I lose any free time to do anything fun or liberating... here's something that I speed painted in oC4:OC4 is being a witch right now, so I can't save the file to finish it later. I guess I'll just have to leave it up for days until I'm finished with it. Dx Anyway, talk to you soon. If I don't die. XD;

It's a terrible day in the neighborhood...

They're holding Greek Fest at the Greek Orthodox Church right up the street from Soli's house... w00t for drunk Raciners staggering back to their cars after having way too much fun at the Fest. But, due to something that happened today, Soli's not in danger of dying from any health issues for now. Which is awesome, of course.
But... my older younger brother took a spill on is bike, and suffered contusions to both of his arms, and got pretty scuffed up. We thought he'd broken his elbows, but luckily that doesn't seem to be the case. My mom texted me for the first time (from the ER, too) today. I was so proud, even if they were only 3 words maximum. x3 She was telling me to make pasta for dinner... which I did, of course, being a dutiful son.
Anyway, I really didn't have much time to draw today, unfortunately. Here's the best stuff that I churned out today.A weird, severely disproportionate Soli anthro. He can be a total whuss sometimes... but I love him. And he's big for a Malamute, so I thought it'd be cool to draw him all muscular-like. This was originally going to be drawn with a gym background, but... I got tired of trying to tweak it, and abandoned to to even worse doodles.Soli, just starin' and smilin'.I started working on my collab with PW again... Now that I, you know, know how to do some basic digital art and stuff. Above was my first color scheme, but I think I like the old colors better, which are below.
I think I'm sticking with these colors for me again. I wonder what I'll devise for a background... after I color in the burgers first, of course.
Well, I hope you all had a good day. Thanks for stopping by.

Dog sitting

I've been dog sitting since yesterday (Thursday). Pollen was falling like snow in a blizzard here today, so I'm way too congested to really think up a decent entry. For anyone concerned, please pray for Soli... he ate a corn on the cob a couple days ago (Monday, I think it was) that his family accidentally left unattended, and he hasn't passed it yet. They can't afford for him to have another surgery... so if he can't pass it... Well, I'd rather not think about it at the moment.I've got this great drawing book, and this drawing on the bottom right is based off of one of the basic canine pose... thingies. You can still see the circles and cylinders that I used to construct it. Unfortunately... I started with the head, and... well, I thickened all of the frame to make it look like Soli--except for the head. I forgot to resize it... so it looks ridiculous.
Another sad attempt at realism.
Professor Stein, from the anime Soul Eater... as a canine. No references whatsoever... so I guess it's not terrible.

Depressing day

Today was one of those days where I woke up miserable... and only felt worse as the day went along. I wish I hadn't woken up today... that I'd slept through it, and that I would wake up tomorrow morning. Oh well, no sense in complaining about it now.Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh WOLFMAN! I swear, the B-52's made that first Batman themesong... it sounds like something they'd do.
Baaaaaaw I feel terrible baaaaaaaw
Another attempt at keeping things in proportion. EPIC fail, I know.
I read some where that if you don't know how to properly draw an expressive position for a four-legged animal, quickly draw a human in the desired position, and that should help. So I did. I guess it really didn't help... I sorta liked the head, so I kept it.
"Life sucks. Then you die." --Mr. Gulle, my [awesome] 7th grade Geography teacher. He was one of the most fun teachers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, let along having. That's a wolf skull, btw. I needed to practice drawing 'em, to help me with my realistic(ish) wolf busts.
So, yeah. Hope you all had a much better day than I did. Thanks for stopping by.
