Death By Dust

My computer's graphics card sucked up too much dust, caused by various deep cleanings within my house. So much so that it fried itself. No updates for awhile, sorry! Makes sense though, just when I was about buy TF2 for my PC.

I hereby announce my hiatus. I'll see you all when I get back.

Fox Masks and a Red Panda

I've been wrenching my brain on a certain subject recently, so I've been attempting to create some gimmicky fox related stuff, so I'm making various masks and what not. I'm enjoying a small variant of calligraphic strokes, and "m also exploring the beauty of symmetry.

And for some reason I drew a Red Panda.

He is simply watching.......simply watching GUAAAHAHAHAAHAHAAA

What Anime Expo Brings...

NUNCHUKUS! Oh... and friends and good times and all that!

Had a good year at A44! Much better sales for miemiechan13 than we did last year, but then again I'm slowing gaining my "Veteran Con-Goer" status, but I've had my "Persuasive Salesman" statues for some time now and I put it to good use this year! If my situation changes for the better, I should be capable of purchasing my AX11 ticket soon or if not sooner than I did this year. Anyway, everything went smooth... enough, there should be no problem, but now I'm just rambling.

SWAAAAAG!

 My Foxycap got an upgrade this year! Series One Pokèmon badges! It is no longer the "Foxy Cap" but I officially dub it, "The Champion's Cap"!! All hail the champion!

More buttons! The Artist Alley gave away a series of Pokèmon badges representing the elements! I only got 10/11, Team Rocket stole the last one out from under us, kinda mean of them don't you think?

 Then there was the "Championship Badge" which was a hilarious joke from the coordinators of the event. Also pictured is the Core Drill from the Gurren Lagann Panel, which was mindblowingly tengan topperly epic!

A lot of people brought their Pokèwalker, I was surprised! By the end of the Expo I had up to 30 transfers, and was full on free items from day one. From all three days, I collected 3000 watts from trades alone! Then I also bought these cool eggshell charms of my favorites.

Zuko here! A wonderful acrylic painting of everyone's favorite fire nation prince! Love it!

 Last but not least, I acquired a set of nunchukus, and I'll be practicing with them atleast an hour a day every day since then. I always wanted one, and now I do. Let the concussions begin!

 Many thanks to Miemiechan3 for once again giving me the opportunity of working at her booth, and thank you to those of you who came by!

Thankyou Jellybean13 for graciously providing us with accommodations, and for being my Expo Buddy for the second year in a row! "Representing Water-Tribe"

And thank you Alaeyn for cooking us breakfast!

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.
