Lazriel’s Carnival May 20, 2009

[ME NEWS]
My twitter identity crisis went as follows:
I procured myself a twitter account some time ago because I am a sheep.
I felt like such a tool for a few hours after that.
I then realized the brand identity was actually quite adorable. Also, I love the word “twitter” all by itself.
When typing up my first entry, I couldn’t help but imagine Orxieal** bouncing along a keyboard trying* to type messages.
This image was so cute, it eradicated all tool feelings.
I then later realized that twitter is an awesome service to quickly make notes to myself to not forget things.
I’m so excited at the idea of abusing this and maybe not suffering from my short term memory haha.

In other news, I’ve prepped Anthony (my laptop) up and he’s all ready to be sent off to Acer. Thank goodness I bought that extended warranty.
I’ll probably be even less present online, while he’s gone. Well I’ll still be working on practicing art stuff.

*trying is the key word here
**Orxieal is a Chickadee Angel

Remember this fun little picture from here? Well while rooting around for something to post up on Deviant Art, I dredged up this guys. Maybe since today seems to be on the topic of memories, I found myself remembering what I had originally thought this picture was about.
It’s a little silly I know, but I have free reign to be as silly as I want with these guys.

Anyway, this is how I think Lazriel sees the carnival at night. Specifically the reflection of the carnival’s lights in the water under the piers. Lazriel is an odd sort of lad who sees things differently than other people do. Nobody’s ever really certain what he’s picturing in that head of his (not even me).

Bonus on Laz’:

Due to a speech impediment his adopted kid (who is a robot – sort of) calls him “ass wheel” also, the bloke is sort of crazy spoiled.

A whole lot of stuff in one picture March 20, 2009

Or alternatively; Spot the goldfish.

Did you find the goldfish yet?

This was done with pencil crayons, oil pastel, markers, and lots of crayons from my elementary school days.
I’m not entirely satisfied with this, but at least I finished it right and proper. I was at the university till 1 am pretty much. I hit all the required points for this assignment and ho boy, if I don’t get a rockin’ grade on this baby, there will be hell to pay plenty of indignation and argument forthcoming.

In other news, I had a bit of a blues period which now seems to be over. Good job Angela-self. Now I’m just angry. This is actually good news, because maybe now I’ll harness my rage!energy™ (300 horse power) and get a whole bunch of partying work done this weekend.

It’s an Abrstract Party March 10, 2009

Bahahaha! It’s my birthday tomorrow! Celebrate with me!

I figure with this awesome holiday approaching (Holiday for ME at least) I can guilelessly take a day off from my exam cramming.

So here are some abstracts and some messing around with photoshop.

Not too sure if I’m really done with all these but at the moment, the due date is over so I don’t have time / need to polish them up right away.

Alchemy

Just thought this was sort of cool

Something on the ice and in the water

Close up of the blue one. Those fine details I scratched in the oil pastel with a needle. Fun stuff.

Tropica Exotica

Coral Carnivale

Some more random words or something hahaha.

These look like so much fun but were a pain and another rush job (but what else is new?)

Happy Birthmorrow to me! Hahaha!

Damian Grey Wip – maybe February 27, 2009

Really, I am quite fond of this guy.

Not only is he a gruff, calculating and an unrefined cold blooded hitman,

his age and face let me draw features I usually don’t get the chance too.

He’s from the One Man Till June story.

[Mr. Grey is / was also the inspiration for the Hobo-from-third-street]

‘Dimitri’ is also starting to sound better and better…

Click here for an earlier version of Mr. Grey when I was still drowning in the anime style.

One day before the webcomic comes online!

sketches and such December 9, 2008

sketches nov 12 – Wips and not worksake November 22, 2008

I haven’t been very active here on my blog for the last week, but I plan to remedy this.

Today I’m posting random WIPs and sketches from around September of this year –so new-ish stuff.

Anatomy April 21, 2008

The last post had a link to a perspective tutorial. I am terrible at perspective and evidently need to improve, thus tutorial. Another aspect of drawing that I know could use improvement is anatomy.
I’ve borrowed a few books on this topic and will probably be posting the sketches I copy from it. (Thats the only way I’ll learn right?)

In any case I hope these aren’t too boring. I’ll still be posting non anatomy related art too, so no worries there.

So this page is from one of my sketchbooks, and the image itself was copied from the book: Dynamic Anatomy by Burnes Hogarth. Please excuse the sloppy printing and I fully realize I could be completely off when it comes to the muscle groups. If you see any errors, I would love to have them pointed out.
