Good Friday is Good

So! Been a while, hasn't it, folks? Let me explain.

The primary use of this blog has been to motivate me to do more art and to keep anyone who might be interested abreast of my activities. It later became useful as a way to create links and images on Gaia, for which I've been doing lots of pieces over the past months. However, Blogspot, in its infinite wisdom, decided to change something about their URL links to images (something having to do with a google hosting) which made it impossible for images to show up on Gaia with that link. Thus, I was forced to seek out an alternative. I found one, and have been using it ever since. Unfortunately, it means that I haven't been motivated to put my art up here. But! I was reminded today of my intention to do so, and there's no time like the present.

So! Here's what I've been working on.

I know, I know--not much. But hey--it all looks pretty good, ne? I think all this work is finally paying off! Now I've just gotta work on that whole 'color' thing. :3

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter!

No warning

For this next one, there is no warning that will prepare you. Let me just reiterate that I do not choose the subject matter of these pieces--I stay true to the request and do my best to meet my commissioner's expectations. Sometimes that means dealing with... less conventional subject matter.

For those of you who might take offense at what I draw, I apologize for your offense-taking, but not for my work. If anything, evoking emotion is an artist's triumph.

Surprise!

Have you ever put your iPod on random and been surprised by what comes up? By songs you thought you'd gotten rid of long ago (and need to be)? Something childish and embarassing and possibly annoying? What about discovered new music there you didn't remember putting in?

All three have happened to me recently. So I've been going through my iTunes and getting rid of stuff I know I probably won't wanna listen to anymore. But I'm also real excited (and confused) to have found this odd, jazzy tune that I didn't know I had! It's really ballin, and it's called 'Kalimba' by Mr. Scruff on Ninja Tuna. I love the album title, which is the only reason I mention it. It was probably an iTunes sampler type deal but hell--it's awesome. I'm thinking about getting more stuff by this artist. :D

Not a good week for fingers

So, the wierdest things have been happening to my fingers this week. It started with this phantom skinning--the abrasion just appeared one day after my workout. Really sucks whenever I touch it. Next was a series of hangnails I just couldn't stop playing with. Now I've got little bloodspots around my cuticles. And finally, I somehow shock myself on one of my laptop's USB outlets, or something, I don't know--I just have this pale scar on my ring finger, now. Felt like a beesting, but quick. Hurt to touch it for a bit, but no more. It still looks like a pale scar. Weird.

Fortunately, none of these injuries have deterred me from my art. Just the laziness. So here we go!

Quite often, it seems like we aren't getting anywhere...

"... when, in fact, we are."

Though I found quite a bit of it rather disturbing and creepy in my youth, I did always love the characters and the story of the movie 'Labyrinth'. More recently, I've come across a rather brilliant comic featuring a couple of the movie's characters, and completely fallen in love (you can find it here). I'd love so much to do my own comic, but I don't feel like I've got any decent ideas--except for this epic tale I've been working on, which is going to require a lot more prep before I can really do anything.

That aside, 'Labyrinth' is a fun movie to watch whilst drawing avi art! :3

Bad Jazz

It's rare for me to have a really good day at work. Despite the fact that this is the job I've liked the most of all the jobs I've had before, it can still drive me a little nuts. Sometimes the students are just SO slow, or ignore my advice SO completely, that it feels like I'm having to completely reign myself in, and it grates rather badly. So It's lovely to come home and unwind with the things that I love to do--like my art! It's been a little while since I jumped on my tablet, so I did a little warm-up with a silly meme I found on deviantart (you can find it on my deviantart account), and now I'm back to the avi art!

I love weekends

Especially LONG weekends! Yay! Spring semesters are so cool. Lots and lots of holidays, plus spring break! Ballin'! That means lots of time for me to work on my art!
