30 December 2007 // Sketch: Magic

Attempting some Wordpress-fixing today, which may or may not break the front page. Ironically enough, i don't think it'll affect the blog at all (at least, what i'm doing today won't. Tomorrow is a whole other story.)

29 December 2007 // Sketch: Flyboy

This was originally going to be some super-hero-style flying, but i never finished drawing the body. As such it looks a bit more like a half-finished drawing of someone piloting a jet at Mach 10.

Doctor Who fans will get this before anyone else.

Got some new pens for Christmas; don't quite have the hang of them yet. And spent more time trying to figure them out than making the drawing actually look good. Tomorrow will be better, i think.

Sappy random intergalactic peace illo.

Of course, if we were to discover alien life in the next century, someone on this planet would come up with some excuse to kill 'em all.

03 August 2007 // Sketch + Not-Quite-News

Man i haven't updated a sketch in ~~forever~~ um, several days.

I bought a new Wacom Intuos3… i'm planning on getting an airbrush accessory for it at some point in the near future but i want to wait until my upcoming money issues (moving, returning to college, switching jobs, и т.д.) are sorted out. I would've waited on buying the tablet, too, but my old one crapped out on me* (

So i've been practising a bit with it:

…i like it but haven't quite got the hang of it yet.

Also, i've almost finished my picture for last week's Illustration Friday theme, Moon. I'm slow / I'll upload this weekend, done or not.

And. I the Comically Yours competition over at DeviantArt. My entry's here, for those who are interested. I'm not really satisfied with it, but there's no time to work on it any more.

*it may be reparable but i don't see the point in fixing something which i'd only be using for another month or so anyway. In fact, i strongly suspect the problem lies more with my computer than the tablet itself. If any technogeeks want to take a stab at fixing an old 4"x6" Deleter XP-Pen tablet, i'm just about willing to give it away for free. I mean, i'd like whoever takes it to cover shipping and whatnot, but otherwise it's just one more thing i don't want to have to pack when i move.

26 July 2007 // IF: Poem

I have no idea what the plastic-y thing they are wrapped in is supposed to be. I vaguely remember thinking, "He's absorbing her!" while i was drawing it. So apparently the red thing is part of the guy robot, who is, i don't know, eating the fembot. With his shirt.
Note to self: Get a full night sleep before drawing weird stuff.

This week i kept thinking about, but could not remember the title of, that one Kurt Vonnegut story in which a male scientist falls in love with a female scientist and wins her heart by having their computer write poetry for her, but the computer fell in love with the female scientist while trying to win her for the male scientist, etc., etc.… Come to think of it, i'm not even entirely sure it's by Kurt Vonnegut. All i remember for sure is having watched a short film based on it in my Lit. of Sci-Fi class. So if anyone knows what i'm talking about, leave a comment, because i've been slowly driving myself insane trying to figure it out.

10 May 2007 // IF: Neighbour

Two thoughts kept coming to mind this week:
- The guy who asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbour?" right before J started in on his Good Samaritan parable
- The quote from Jesus which goes something like, "Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me."
Prints available.

…and yes. My scanner lives again. Sketches forthcoming.
