after all

i'm working on many things, actually, contrary to what my inactivity on this blog would suggest...for now, sketches of Fenris from Dragon Age 2.

farm animals

Corey and Jenelle from Teen Mom 2

Sailor Moon and a sugar packet

plus, i got this in the mail last night! Battle Kittens: the art of R. Dart. i strongly suggest everyone get it, as her art is mind-meltingly good, as is her Battle Kitten stuff, which i really hope develops into a full-blown comic or animated project some day. apparently she was a background artist for Mission Hill and is now a character designer for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, two of my favorite animated series ever, so that could help explain my fondness for her stuff.

and it's Gammy-approved!

how easy it is to invent a humanity

costume concepts/fan art from the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. maybe i was a little too literal with the "wings" described on the handmaid's head coverings, but it's what i pictured while reading it. i'm a little indignant that this book isn't as popular as other distopian novels of the era, like 1984 and Brave New World. personally I find it a lot more riveting and better written.

new year's resolutions....i have a few. mostly i want to be more productive. :p

they don't love you like i love you

my friend Hezaa and i were going to do this meme thing together, but we both only did like the first part of it then forgot, haha. mine is terrible and doesn't deserve to be seen by anyone, but here's a face-meltingly awesome portrait she drew of me. i wish i was really this hot. i love the stars, and my little t-rex friend, haha.

it's based on this picture of me:

if you haven't seen her stuff you should check her out, she's like ultra amazing, and really likes Sailor Moon so you know she's cool.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Maps", youtube

wait

some kinda hate

daily sketch 5, Mind's Eye from my friend Nick Marino's webcomic Super Haters.

she's probably reacting to something stupid Destruct-O-Tron's said/done.

oh, also! i asked one of my fave artists, Kippery, to draw Ronnie and Rexxie when she was taking requests on her tumblr saturday night, and she totally did!! so now i can die happy, the end.

work all night on a drink of rum

Dr. Girlfriend from Venture Brothers

plus old sketch of Eve

Beetlejuice - Day-O (Banana Boat Song), YouTube

tripping balls

haha, oops, blew my daily sketch thing already. guess it's a mostly-daily-sketch thing now.

day 3, the Director from Pure Trance by Junko Mizuno.

maybe someday i'll get a proper website going, who knows. o_O

also check out this fan art from none other than Ross Campbell!

i really need to be drawing more. i was thinking of doing a daily sketch thing like i've seen a lot of other artists doing...would anybody be into that?

oh yeah, almost forgot: my beautiful and talented new friend Cara Stasick made this awesome Dingogeddon fan art of Ronnie and Rexxie! gah, i'm getting so spoiled with fan art, and the character everybody's drawing hasn't even appeared in the comic yet! i better get busy! ;)

rawr

love like poison

i got my first Dinogeddon fan art!!! O_O boy, that was quick! and it's totally awesome too! from the very talented Chad Sergesketter!

then my friend Erin made me this:

thanks, Chad!!! thanks, Erin!!!

i'm so happy with the support i've been getting for Dinogeddon so far, and i'm only two pages into it, haha.<3 and fan art is like the best thing ever, the ultimate love letter, i really appreciate it. i hope i get some more as the comic goes on. thanks everyone who's keeping up with the comic!

few things have consistently endured in my affections over the years like sailor moon. it all started one morning in summer when i was eleven; i had an ear infection, so sleeping was all but impossible. i gave up trying at 6 am and turned on the tv and watched samurai pizza cats. but the show after that was truly magical. pretty, goofy, stylized anime girls transformed into soldiers in tiny skirts and whooped up on some weird-ass sexy demons. and there was a talking cat. i was hooked from that moment on.


and rather than waning like so many other interests, my love for sailor moon has only grown exponentially over the years. some months ago i finally tracked down the "lost" and "forbidden" very last season, sailor stars (thank god for youtube!) and began the thrilling but painstaking process of watching every episode. it was truly a wonderful season, definitely one of my favorites. i totally cried at the end. XD

perhaps my favorite things about sailor stars is the introduction of the three starlights (gender-bending female sailor soldiers from across the universe, sent to earth to find their long-lost princess, meanwhile moonlighting as a boy band), and that mamoru is once again handily swept out of the entire series. only this time it is interesting because he's not kidnapped or comatose as per usual, but he has to go away to university, i think to the u.s. and this creates a very interesting moral and emotional dilemma for usagi, who never hears back from him yet tries to remain steadfast despite her loneliness and pangs of doubt...and then, in comes seiya.

here's some really shitty sketches of seiya x usagi i did tonight while i was nerding out about all this.

i'm always kinda hesitant to draw anime characters, because i feel like they get a little too distorted and i'm not sure how to handle certain features they have in my style, but whatever. i couldn't resist drawing these two any longer.

i don't really care if seiya is male or female, i like her either way with usagi. <3 i guess part of me likes the seiya + usagi pairing because vicariously, i'm crushing on seiya a little bit myself. XD when stars began, i fucking hated seiya. i thought he was just a typical stuck-up cock anime character. but as the season went on, he won me over hard. once you got to see how sensitive and disarmingly genuine he could be, his cockiness became more charming. and it doesn't hurt that he's so unwaveringly dedicated to usagi, despite her constant rejections and affirmations that she's already "taken." i have a definite soft spot for one-sided romances, and immature boys. plus, he and usagi are just so funny together. XD

besides seiya just being an all-around better character and a better match for usagi i think, mamoru is just fucking boring, and he never really seems that into usagi anyway. throughout the entire series, he always brushes off any attempt on usagi's part to get romantic with him...which i guess makes sense and is kind of noble at first, since when they start dating she's in middle school and he's like, about to graduate high school. just every now and then he'll be like,"oh, usa-ko, you're so stupid and cute," and kiss her forehead or something. i think the only truly romantic gestures he performed for her that i can remember off-hand is that one time he ate cookies usagi made him despite them being horribly burned (after she started crying about it), and he rushed out to buy her some expensive glass slippers (?) she'd wanted for her birthday (after he'd forgotten her birthday like a total dick! ). he's presented as being this incredibly stoic, well-read, cultured and super-intelligent young man with tons of restraint...and it's like, THIS is the ideal match for usagi, an immature, crybaby who fails all her classes? XD it always seems to me that mamoru isn't really into usagi at all, but rather keeps on being with her because it's their "destiny" or whatever, and they've already met their daughter from the future that he's crazy about, so he doesn't wanna fuck that all up.

anyway, i'll stop rambling about this inane crap and go back to working on things i should be doing. maybe one day soon i'll do a real seiya + usagi fan art and get it out of my system, haha! oh yeah, and this video. <3 few things make me all fangirly and gushy and fawny, and seiya is one of them. i love that episode when usagi thinks seiya's trying to put the moves on her XD hahaha and the part where the monster shows up and seiya grabs usagi and gets all serious...!!! SIGH<3 okay, stopping now!! XD

writing on the wall

Ryan Kelly's character Twisterella from his Funrama comic. hopefully he doesn't hate it, haha.

i kinda miss drawing Miss Bunbun. kinda playing around with the designs and making it more stylized.

i so want this as a poster!!

excited about bringing home new kitty tonight. her foster parents have this crazy huge, nice house, so i hope she'll be happy with me in my little shanty haha.

why do i not own a single jaws movie on dvd?? this is a complete and utter travesty.  might have them on vhs, hmmm. i want nothing more right now than to watch the crazy mayor of Amity Island. "Amity means frienship!"

the night calls

random sketches drawn during bad movies

 fan art of Ross Campbell's Shadoweyes :) it was fun taking a break from Dinogeddon stuff

I haven't been drawing much lately because I'm starting to get the it's-getting-dark-at-4-o'clock blahs. Well, that's not the only reason, but it's a factor. Mainly Harvest Moon: Animal Parade has taken over my life, because I have been a complete and total whore follower of the HM franchise since I was twelve.

So naturally, when I'm not playing it, I'm drawing fan art from it. :D

 I love the Witch Princess, she's so effing cute! Plus she's pretty boss for wearing her panties around all the time. :D

Phoebe, the inventor girl who likes to mine. She's actually a bit of a boring character disappointingly, but I mainly just like her design and her outfit.

And my two of my fav dudes from the game, Chase the bitchy waiter with the barettes, and Julius the fashionista. Okay, this one mainly came from me having a hankering to draw porn again lately, ha. I dunno why. I really miss drawing couples, and just people interacting with each other. Maybe it's a sign of my drawings pining for more intimacy, haha! XD

I still need to draw the Wizard because he is effing awesome, and maybe I'll do some pr0nz, I dunno.

This song from my high school days has been stuck in my head really bad lately.  sugar water  plus the video is really cool, I think :D
