The Internal Thought

The Internal Thought is the introverted mindset, be it in times of doubt or distress, in simplicity or monolith proportions. The turn of the tide is weighed only by its amount of thought and mental progression.

I did this piece about a year ago, and there is no better representation I can create that will sum up those days where all you have to do, want to do, and need to do, is think.

Bored Sketches Again

The Terrahog! A large boar creature mainly used as a caravan beast of burden. Capable of carrying immense loads for vast stretches of the harshest environment, though the skin on the Terrahog's hide is thick, it is not impervious to all travel roads. Preferably they should be used on long flatland's or overgrown wood paths, and not advised for rocky or unpredictable terrain.. Their tremendous size makes even the most simplistic maneuvers a chore, but in a strait ahead charge, no beast can go farther or harder than the Terrahog! Momentum is always in their favor, preferably the male's for their large, solid bone tusks easily topple most obstacles. Though their tusks may be terrifying, they're only real purpose is to dig for truffles and other vegetation to coincide for their hefty herbivore diet

And then a doodle of a devious space renegade. More on him later I guess, if I can think of anything to do with him. Until then, he's all speculation.

Tribute to My Long Hair

My long hair in all its true to life glory, as an ode to its gawk-full-ness. The time for short hair is approaching fast, and I think a simple before and after picture wouldn't do justice to its name.

Here's to you long hair, thanks for keeping my neck toasty, my ears invisible, and my forehead constantly irritated.

Beanie 13

I did this for a friend of mine; originally it was sopposed to be an updated version of "lil us" but it turned out as an actual portrait, true to their character. I enjoyed working on this, making the waterlike look on the biggest jellyfish. the highlight on the creature, the clothe's shading. All fun to do! In fact I enjoyed creating the creature the most, and I've named his species "Sauradon" which literally means Lizard-Lizard. So much fun that im inclined to actually draw him again just for the sake of working out what exactly he is! Even I dont know!

Thats not to say you shouldnt expect more friendly drawings in the future, I'm totally geared towards all personal projects right now. So keep your fingers crossed!

Regularly scheduled updates are on the way! Tell your friends!

Bad Weather Inspiration

I've kinda been in a bad spell of art recently. Maybe I'm distracted or just not properly inspired, but I'm trying my best to worm my way out of it. Lacking updates didn't help because I really do want to keep this an up and current thing, but I think I need a niche of some sort. I think that is something I need to stumble upon on accident if its ever going to work right I guess. I'll work even harder to keep this updated with something worth while though.... I need a haircut....

Gold Fox Tail

Back in the olden days of 2008, I was among the swarm of graduating teenagers who where eager to set out into the world and yada yada blah. I was fresh from school and had 6 months until I started college. It was fitting to go out and get a job, and by pure accident I was accepted to Disney Land where I was stationed in Tommorowland, building Lightsabers for kids and convincing them that batteries didn't exist.

The Experience in and of itself was life changing, although I only worked there for upwards of 9 months before certain situations led me to leave the happiest place on earth. During that time however I tried my hardest to create a web comic for myself that would explain or depiect the trial and tribulations of a Lightsaber Salesman, alas it was the exact opposite! It was SOOOO disorganized and random, but it was me in a nutshell. Topics from me at work doing.... work-ey things to situations in school and whatnot, it was more like an autobiographical comic if anything else. Back when making webcomics was COOL, MAN!

The name was just GoldFoxTail, as was my alias, and each person Ive tried to explain the meaning to, develops each time over the years. Gold Fox is a derivative of Silver Fox, a nickname the nurses gave to my father while he worked in the Long Beach Hospital, Gold is also my favorite color (yellow, amber ect...) and the fox is my favorite animal, due to its influences to me as a child (Fox and the Hound, The Court Jester, Milo & Otis ect...) In high school I wore alot of Fox Rider Co. brand clothes because I love motorcycles and the like, and the jacket I wore most often was a bright yellow Fox Rider hood-tee, which is featured in almost every picture I draw of myself. Its a persona that sort of developed and stuck, but I've come away from the yearning of an alias or nickname. I am me, in my name. But my name is as featured, GoldFoxTail.

I wanted the comic itself to be a daily Autobiographical comic that I wanted to update everyday, but I am no good at updating my internet things though, and in two years I only posted 15 of them, the last of which took place recently. I have no further plans to seriously take on the series again, but what with all the free time I'll be having recently, It's not such a bad idea. Time will tell. I cant compete with all the other webcomic artists anyway, I have neither the drive nor the commitment to put myself out there like that, and so was GFT15 (which is actually 14, because the 12th was made without the comic top).

Good times.....

Delightful filler until I get my Anatomy assignments uploaded.

Color Harmonies

I was going through an old sketchbook and found a good example of color harmonies!
From top left ===> bottom right :

Monochromatic (Blue)
Complementary Contrast (Yellow & Violet)
Primary Triadic Contrast (Red, Blue & Yellow)
Analogous Harmony (Violet, Blue-Violet, Blue, Blue-Green, Green & Yellow-Green)

That class was only fun because I had a friend in it with me (which is usually a kiss of death for one of us)
but Color Theory is permanently engraved in my brain. No matter of therapy can remove it!

The "LiL uS" Project

LiL uS (with a lil I and a lil U):
This was by far one of the most fun personal projects that I wish I had completed to my hearts content. I had initially started it via Myspace with a few personal friends of mine, offering to compose for them a small caricature based off of reference or preference. I started it the 1st of June 2009 and worked on it for well over a month, inviting anyone I could as the time went on allowing a gracious month preparation. I however bit off more than I could chew, with a character sheet of over 25 others (not including myself).

I did what I could within the remaining spring break, however the next term of life drawing and concept character design harshly crippled the stylized "LiL Strokes" of the piece. So much so that when I returned to this project 3 months later for its completion, the newer figures (other than the presented 6) looked completely different and did not fit in with the progress I had made in June. Several times I halted the project, and several times I gave it the green light, but in the end it was always the first 6 that where truly "LiL" style.

The cause of style amnesia was mainly because the figures where not composed through Adobe, but a smaller, cheaper, and easier to use program at the time known as Paint.Net, that is tremendously more pen-pressure sensitive than Photoshop.

I really want to complete this piece, but what with all the spontaneous friends I tend to acquire and eventually lose to various reasons, to take written in requests again would kill me but I'll never rule anything out!
