This is sort of like a heavy update but also sort of really not.

All comicers though, I would love to have some sweet, sweet feedback on some of this. lawl.

( weird sketches first. hooray. x| )

Additionally, I'm thinking of making a community, 'cause signing in and out sucks, as a bunch of you definitely know. Can I count on you all to make the move with me???? LOLLLLllllllll whooooo. :|

I was gonna wait 'till I had more sketches to offer, but then I realized that I have to devote all my time+energy to drawing things that you know. I made a commitment to draw. Like those webcomics I have that have not been updated in a month+. Or all those christmas drawings I have not gotten started on...
Obsessing over new+more OC's is not helping.
( I actually don't like his hair that much. :| )

DOODLE DUMP TIME

warning: most of this is not awesome

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

but it is all fun to laugh at

( We will begin with my adventures with Open Canvas. )

I have been drawing like a fiend these past like. two days. Here are some things that I liked, OCs that I have just recently finalized/been developing. They are sexy. fear them.

( hitmen (hitpeople)! Gun dealers! oh myyyy )

I need to be more productive and/or stay focused. But not when I have lots of free time, apparently. I need to draw pages after this. Mad pages yo.

( hillary needs lessons on anatomy again lololololol )

I have basically been drawing nothing but OC's for like a week or so. So a few days ago I went on a Badou binge. Which most of you probably know by now. D:.

Also there's some nostalgic oc'sssssssssss~ Oh wow I am super lazy D:

( I didn't send that letter to myself express. :( )

There is nothing more motivating than compliments and fanart.

Except, perhaps, the notion that someone might be better than me. >:| But that has always been around, so I will just do this whatever now.

I love you, vocabulary.

( more arty nakedness )

I was planning to have some more interesting things. You know. Like those "finished" drawings I keep hearing everyone talking about.

But I'm not so good at those.

( So have some dumb oc doodles instead. )

So recently I got accepted to a high school outreach program at The Cooper Union, which is probably (one of the) most prestigious colleges in NYC. Yes, let me brag. <3.

But the first day I was feeling really really lame about it, since I was one of two people who got into the program based on a photography portfolio rather than a drawing/painting/fine arts portfolio, and those who did were basically fantastic artists to the extreme.

But anyway. The homework was to create an unconventional self-portrait, meaning, make a self-portrait that is not the definition of a usual portrait. So I made one. And I felt good about it. Today, when I went to the class, they liked it too, and we were told to make a regular one in class. So I did. And I like that one as well. I dunno. I guess I'm just feeling really good about these two.

( I even kept myself from messing up the realism! )

Almost... Getting there....

( More fooling around with colors. :BBBB )

Someone tell me how to color.

Someone give me hints, tips, tell me something you see wrong.

(Besides my never finishing, that is)

You can even point me in the direction of an awesome tutorial, if you know one!

( Look, this is what I have figured out so far... )
....I have room for so much improvement. Does anyone know how to add funky colors in there? I really want to.

The overlord overtoned requested Ichigo as the Little Prince, and Rukia as the pilot. I didn't get to Rukia, because Ichigo was too funny.

( It's beautiful. )

So um yes hey there. I have been spending more time on my sketches these days, and I am really liking the results kinda. Yes.

( BADOUUUUUU ♥ )

Today was a pretty okay day for drawing.

( Unfortunately, I couldn't stand to share with you but a few of my doodles. :D )

Ughhhhhh I still probably have more pimping out of this journal to make it better, and I also need new sketches, but here is one for today.

( OC! )

Hum~! We're starting over now. ♥

So the new look-to date will probably be the end of the year, New Year's eve day.

Soooooo, this might end up friends-only. We'll see. I'm going to probably start this evening, so this post is probably just a test so I can see how everything's going.
