das unbedingte

It's time for another update! Last update of the year, woo! I've had this blog for two and a half years. Wow. I'm impressed I could keep it up this long. I really like this blog, I hope I can continue with it in the future. I had a sketchblog many years ago that lasted maybe over a year or so before I quit. But it's fun to post stuff I wouldn't normally post, so here's to another year. Enjoy.


I found that when I had to listen to lectures online for my Kosher & Halal foods class, drawing while listening helps. And I like doing speedpaints, they're fun. Not my photo, make no claims, etc etc. Just for practice.


My first foray into Illustrator in a long time. I love molas, could you tell?


From oCing with Felix. Fericksu, I miss you ~


Second thing done in Illustrator; a new opening for my site. I like how it turned out, but maybe not for my opening page, so it may change. Still, I find Illustrator to be really infuriating coming from a painter's perspective.


Saw pictures of interesting Nepali dress and wanted to get the same feel with the colors and shapes. I guess it's not meant to be anthropological, because I admit my failure of knowledge about Nepali clothes and designs, just meant to be optically appealing :p


Tiny sketch. Human Axel, with massive sideburns to make up for the lost ears. I got a new scanner, and this is one of the first things I scanned - not too sure I like it :/ meh.


For those of you who don't know, I started fencing. I'm terrible at it. Rhys would be better. Here's Rhys in a lunge.


Not a great pic, but it's something. I'm mildly obsessed with Magic Knight Rayearth again. Hikaru and her dark heart counterpart, Nova.


Mildly obsessed? Ok, I'm a bit nuts for it, forgive me some nostalgia and happiness. A new design for a slightly older Hikaru. She dresses like I used to dress when I was 16 :P


New Umi. They describe her as being beautiful like a model, so ok, I made her tall and lanky with legs that go forever and some stylish duds.


New Fuu. Wanted to get away from the shy-librarian look most people would assume for her, and just give her some casual clothes and some modern glasses.


Rayearth, Hikaru's Rune-God/Mashin, in his wolf/lion form. Horns + animals that don't usually have them = instant win, in my book.


Actually part of a gift for someone, but I assume they don't look here anymore so I feel safe sneaking it in here before I actually send it to them ;D


Sharks were my dolphins when I was a wee pupa. This is not a good representation of one. It looks like a unholy hybrid of a black-tipped reef shark and a common dolphin.


Sketch of Iibe, who is Jormei's wife... I have plans for her, I think~~~ She doesn't pla a role in my main story, but I thought about writing Jormei's story as a separate entity. *plots*

heute bin ich einfach mein

I haven't posted in awhile. I don't think I am gonna post stuff on my LJ anymore, I like it better here, separated from all the ridiculous crap and drama and my personal shit. And if no one sees it - well it's ok. I like the semi-privacy of this place anyway. And I like posting for me.

I am also thinking about revamping my site so it's portfolio-only. Like how the "Voyages" section is, only that is the whole site. And use my DA for all-purpose posting of fun things. I need to wait until I have the time anyway, still gotta finish up schoolwork. So close.



something for felix.





swallow. Nedyenka.

lots of stuff playing with watercolors in my new moleskine wc sketchbook.

(for ~SHARK-ARMY on deeay~)



I seem to have forgotten how to draw feet. forgive me yvonel ;A;


I have no excuse.


If all else fails, draw crazy fish.



Silliness for someone on deeaye~ Rhys is such a DORK.


I got this manila drawing paper and wanted to try it out.. yeah. Atmospherically I like it, however I need to learn anatomy.


Just some silliness XD Rhys, Solais and Stevfan are all from Eydna, so ummm I think Stevfan is making a comment on Rhys's kilt or something.


inspired by hedwig~~

Ezzie Izzard, quoted for truth by Derek.


Fucking creepy Chimera from a dream I had. :c


I fail at ArtRage. So badly.


NNSHAHDSAKJ!


er du kvinna eller räv?


This was a lot to fun to do.


Oh god it's like Drawing 101 again D8 I dunno, I found this plastic cube at work and wanted to draw it, the reflections and shit seemed cool.


there are times when you realize something has happened between two people, and it seems monumentous. yet the next day there are no traces of what happened and you realize it was just words, only fleeting emotions and temporary disturbances. there was nothing otherworldly or intense about it. where you once inferred ground-breaking changes of heart, of seas emptying in the space between two, drowning them in a truth and understanding and bringing a closeness rarely seem in this shivering, empty world full of people, you realize it's a sham. you thought the experience was genuine, until tomorrow's dawn caresses you with it's sharpened yellow blade and it's as if nothing happened.

Goddamn I keep forgetting I can't write >8|

simulacrum

OC session stuff:








Laudon as a young man. Blue pencil + sienna pen on brown paper is trippy.




Only one person will find the lazored hole in Nedya funny.


Characters from A Song of Ice and Fire. Wanted to draw my versions of them.


There was an idea behind this but... it.. I.. fuck. =_=
