[mood - TIRED AGAIN geez]
[music - mediaevel baebes - la volta]

cos blogger is easier to upload and post photos to than the usual FTP and HTML nonsense I'd have to go through otherwise :D Hope you enjoy. These are my PICSHURS from my trip to San Diego/Carlsbad for the Illustrators of the Future award. These are taken by my dad or me~


The hotel outside~ which is right across from the beach! It was a wonderful little hotel, very clean and SO providing! Free cookies 24 hours a day!


Overlooking the beach *_* There were cliffs over all the beach so you either had to walk about half a mile to get to flat ground or climb down the cliffside to get to the beach.


moar beach!


the ocean *_* i have never been to the oceanside before this so it was a wonderful treat. The ocean is GORGEOUS and this is the Pacific ocean of course which didn't smell bad at all though it tastes terrible.


Me and Laura, another illustrator winner on the beachside.


Sunset on the beach. I like the one little fisherman guy :D


HAY LOOK I KNOW THESE GIZE! More illustrators, who are all AMAZING people. Left to right: Tamara, from Halifax, Canada; Melanie from Perth, Australia; MEEEEEEE OMG; James from Chicago; and Kim from Boone :D I roomed with Kim on my stay there. This is on the patio eating lunch which was served to us~


Eldar, who is from Uzbekistan, and Olga, who is from Kiev, Ukraine. Olga did NOT like her picture being taken, which is a same because she is such a beautiful woman. I love her style so much. She is also very talented. Eldar was the gold award winner for the Illustrators! :D


THE STAGE for the gala ceremony thing. Ok, the large photo of L. Ron Hubbard looking like a pedophile IS really creepy but it made for many good jokes about him looking DOWN ON THE PEONS DISAPPROVINGLY!


zomg me on stage giving my speech~! EEEK!


Nate and his new wife signing boooooks~


Me and the author of the story I illustrated, Brandon, who was also the gold winner for the Writers. Very attractive face there, Brandon :P


Aw~~ Alex and Xaymara :3



Moar illustrators; Nate from Seatttle; Miguel from San Diego; Ozzie from Jersey; Melanie again.


I will have more at some point.. these are just what I have atm.

I hope you enjoyed~ Looking at the pictures makes me feel all depressed and yet really warm and fuzzy at the same time. I miss my new friends and I miss the lovely weather and the beach and all, but all the same I get a very nice feeling from having done this.

I will also have sketches at... some point or another in the future, I have found the love of a moleskine sketchbook + micron pen *_* sketchy sketchy~

*mumbles*

[mood - sleepy]
[music - alice in chains - rooster]

Ok, so I was browsing the master forums, like Conceptart.org and Sijun, and looking at the speedpainting threads.. you know, the threads where someone's 30 minute painting wipes the floors with anything I spend 50+ hours one? Yeah. Those. Well I tried one for myself and of course it looks more like a random.. abstract.. thing... than what I intended, but eh. I haven't posted in awhile and I'm not up to scanning anything.

hwargh

[mood - OMGOMGOMG!!]
[music - megaherz - gott sein]

es ist nicht leicht ein god zu sein!

Wow, so Laudon dollfie totally just threw Axel dollfie off of him and leapt onto my keyboard and spilled my tea all over the place :/ Stupid man.

Anyway sorry I have not posted much lately, I have been working on a big ass CG and it's taking forever cos I suck at art and everything takes me too long to get it to look right T-T So tonight, on the eve of my departure to San Diego for a week I wanted to draw some CHUBBY REDHEAD LOVE so here's a doodle of Solais.



You know for a long time I didn't pay much attention to Solais, but it seems now she has really really come together in my head, like I know her character so much better and it makes me love her so much. I mean she is the main character of my fantasy story (tentatively called "Crystalline Dreams", though I am trying to figure something a bit more... mature notlikea14yearoldnamedit. :X) so it makes sense sI should have her down pat. She's very interesting to me now. And she seems to get more freckles every time I draw her. Rhys will have more freckles in the future too. cos i love them redheads. :C

Anyway I will be away for a week but with two several hour flights and such I should have some doodles to post here when I return :D OMG wish me luck! I might have a chance at.. wait.. must not speak of it!! :X

Toodlepip!

[mood - sleepy but ok]
[music - ulrich schnauss - "a strangely isolated place"]

°-° Since I've just started a big CG thing and am too lazy to scan anything at the moment here is something a few weeks old. More satyrs yay! Good ol' Nick P. would be proud of me~




Neanddir is mine and the elf girl Ceinwen belong to Savannah, who is ~lullaby-child on DA who is massively adorable and sweet. Ceinwen is too n.n Neanddir kinda... keeps her and they develop a weird relationship, evolving from captor and victim to something vaguely like lovers. *hearty girly things*

satans werk der tanz!

[mood - in need of a shower]
[music - corvus corax/tanzwut - "tanzwut"]

Inter Deum Et Diabolum Semper Musica Est
Tanzwut!
Durch Feuer und Glut Ein Heulen, Jammern, Kreischen
Klagliche Reue
Satans Werk der Tanz
TANZ!
TANZ!
TANZ!

Verwirren!
Verdammen!
Verfuhren!

So me and my buddy Nicolas Poussin were hanging out the other day and he said I should draw more satyrs because they are really interesting and damn I love drawing them for some reason OxO; I really like any kind of part animal people, though.


I know there seems to be no such thing as female satyrs but why would I care about that? I will happily rape mythology if I want. (this was actually an excuse to draw hairy girls, since I really want to but haven't the guts :x)


And of course more Neanddir for fun~! mmm hairyness!

[mood - SLEEPY]
[music - corvus corax - bretonischer marsch]

It's hot like Satan's nuts here and that means uncomfortable to the max.

On a better note, I got portfolio stuff and ZOMG LIKE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS UNTIL SAN DIEGO OMFGS kfljalf lkfj dslkjlk!!!

I'm trying not to stress about posting here cos it's for fun and hey, last night I forsook posting to DRAW so you can't complain :C

First some finished things that will be gallery-posted one day



Neeko for Angie~ OC again, because OC3 is my new passionate luvah. It was hard to get a balance of really adorably cute and mature young lady elf :/



Neanddir again cos I love him and the idea randomly struck me. I think this would have been better as a watercolor but meh I still like it a lot.


This picture is not decent to be shown publicly so here's a little snippet of it ;D Anyway tried a new method of coloring here and I don't know if I like it or not... just hard to get used to.



After long discussion and thought (aka looking at this in the morning and going "wtf?") I decided her legs are messed up. But. I think I might like this anyway. Cos sexy dancing girls win.


Axel bathing. Nothing more really. You are not special enough to recieve legs.


So during a strange moment I felt really bad for drawing so much frilly girly stuff and thus here is Jared hacking up blood. Mmm lung disease!

All finished.

[mood - cranky]
[music - within temptation - running up that hill]

Mr. Crankypants is back to post some more doodles that I owe this place. Ugh. I'm cranky because I realized while trying to figure out my portfolio thing that the vast majority of work I have done this year so far has been for others. Ok I like making things for people. BUT. I have NOTHING to show for myself, I have so little that I can put into a decent portfolio. I want to do selfish art, goddamnit. I want to make things that are for ME that are not sketches and doodles and quickly colored junk because I feel guilty I'm not working on crap for other people! I have nothing to show for all these months I've been free and now I have to go back to school in a month and I still have shit to do for people and I have absolutely nothing to show for myself =__= I have not been productive at all and I am so ashamed and angry.

So here the ideas for maybe doing:
-the viking warrior fox chick in a full pic - maybe in watercolors ala ~Perkan
-i need a good anal-retentive pic of Laudon or I will go nuts, because I'm always doodling him and I don't have anything quality finished of him
- picture of rhys and solais? i wish i could oil paint but no room + no ventilation :/
-something else I may be inspired to do?!
HELP

sketches. since this is all i have time to do in between things for others.


Rhys has a very child-like view of justice and fairness, which is continually threatened by Axel, who has faced tremendous social injustice in his short life.
the 453749587th reincarnation of this idea, can't ever get it right!



smexy Laudon with a photo ref used to help a little bit. Looked better when I first did it now it just looks creepy


nedyenka being... a thing. i hate clothes like this but she loosk interesting in them 9_9
