Free Credit NOT

THANK GAWD that's over. Now I can't be charged up the nose for things I didn't need. Long story short : "Never apply for a college loan sponsored by a falsely advertised service!"

Some People Kinda Suck

Not much of a big deal, but it bothered me a bit. Not much else to update.

Anime Expo details next week if you're interested.

Seriously though... who does that?

On My Mind

"I've been thinking, much against my will...."

Very expressionist piece, using blunt symbolism. Also the first time I've drawn a woman bodice so intimately.

This piece alone takes such a load off my mind, and I can finally sleep soundly and start being productive again. What a relief!

Thanks for sticking with me! Till next time!

NYYYYYYRRRGH!

Some days are just so......

Mind on my Munny...

Munny! A wonderful product! For those of you asking "What is Munny?" Iwill answer: Just the greatest artistic creation since flash animation! Munny is a basically a vinyl figurine spanning either 4'', 7'' or 18''. You can draw on them with just about anything, pencils, sharpies, crayon, or even use a variety of paint and whatnot! Its craaazy what people do with these things, put hair on them, hats, what not.

Though.... I am a boy and I don't play with dolls, at least not non-pokèmon shaped ones, so I did have my iffy "is this girly?" moment. And then I realized its mother-F%$#ING ART! Who cares?

So being the artsy sonvagun I am, I'll brave this new frontier and see what I can make. Hell, these things can sell for amounts of $1000.00 (by the right artist), not that my intentions are of profiting from this in any way, but its a useful concept to keep in mind!

(above : awesome examples)

I myself would probably just give them away as presents for friends, family, and loved ones. Not a bad way to express yourself, but hell, that goes for anything artsy I discover. Only situation that I'm hitting is that they do get pretty pricey. Mini 4'' figures are $10 each with the biggest 18'' reaching $200!  Though the 7'' is a healthy $25 medium and comes with a few free, random vinyl props, so apparently their wonderful corporate mind knows how to lure us penny pinching scrooges into buying them.

Until I can actually scurry to the nearest art supply store to test out one of these bad-boys, I'll be drawing up plans and researching different techniques for them first. So stay tuned!

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....
