I like to cat ear things that should never be cat eared. 8D



Maybe this didn't deserve it's own posting, but I guess it gets one. XD Sorry for spamming.

Working on it. ... none is done. Coloring is difficult ... weird atmospheric lighting.  I'm not sure deciding to do a full color comic was a good idea, but I'm doing it. o____o; I like the result better, though it takes triple the time as toning. X_X Skittlez doesn't stand out enough in the last two panels. =___=

side note: omgeeeeee. <3 <3 <3 They say they're gonna print it in glitter for me. O_O I love Ziraxia forever.

Firstly, should I be putting my sketches in an LJ cut? Do I jizz awkwardly all over your friends page with sketches?

Secondly, these are some sketches for a charity art book project. :3 I decided to do my portion like a story book. I've been writing up the creation myth of sherbet. XD

If you're interested in being in this book with me...... there's still time to submit. ^___~
Clicky for info.




In summary, because you kind of can tell what's happening by these pics ... there's a man fishing for seals. There are no seals. Suddenly big fat flying seals sail out of the northern lights and vomit sherbet on him. <~ if I were to pitch this story to an editor, this is exactly what I would say, but with adamant hand gestures to illustrate the big fat flying seals.

I haven't seriously drawn a comic in a year, so I'm fixing that. Ugh, very suck. The only way to get better at drawing comics is to draw comics though. This is 1 of 8 pages. Dunno if I'll tone or color it... probably tone. [lazy, cheap.] Goals for these coming 8 pages: 1: suck less. 2: practice drawing interior environs.


The whole point of Venus as a character is that he scratches his ass and freaks out a lot.

*trying not to think about the many possible flaws in this page*

be happy. be happy. be happy.

Because I didn't draw this picture HUGE, lovingly reveling in every detail, so that no one could see it.



Ugh. I hate my ... "male" characters. Because they're not really male. They're girls with stuff. OH WEEEEELL.... that said, recently I drew something horrible out of pissy-ness regarding this problem. Warning: don't click this link, even if you're 18 or older.

I warned you.



Those illuminated manuscript type things were taken from a variety of sources. Namely:

Backhouse, Janet. The Lindisfarne Gospels. San Francisco: Pomegranite Artbooks, 1995.
Morgan, Margaret. Color Decoration & Illumination in Calligraphy: Techniques and Projects. New York: Dover Publications, Inc., 1995.



I love drawing hands.
 
I am HUNGRY. This frustrates me. I went to the store two days ago to buy food. I bought some, but couldn't figure out what I wanted. ... so I didn't buy much. Now what I did buy is boring to me and I don't want it, but I'm HUNGRY.

Time for updating in 09! 8D uh. More corgis .... But first corgis. I have Bob's piccie book for kids class this quarter, so I'm going to do my plot with my corgi splices. XD Who knows where this will lead. I had planned to do Birdfish, but that isn't going to work for the class. T_T;;;; I'm picking the "boy has the worst day ever but it turns out it's a GREAT day" plot. The little boy in this case is Summer corgi and he goes to corgi school. <3 A new student, Winter corgi aka Shirahime, is introduced to the setting and Summer naturally becomes miserable. All sorts of shinanigans ensue, namely a giant food fight in the cafeteria which Shirahime pwns.

This is Shirahime. She's all white except for some red and black. :3 I think she's trying to eat snow, here.
 


All but 3 of the corgis are students. The three who are not students are Night, Day, and Earth corgis. [originally I was doing sun, moon, and star, but no longer] Cight [pronounced "kite"] is the teacher, Corday is the lunch lady [although "lunch DUDE" is more appropriate] and Corgiaus is ... not actually present in this story, I believe. BUT I DREW HER ANYWAY.



Naturally it's the least important of the three that I'm able to get about right. =___= I don't think I'll actually use this design, as Corgiaus is somewhat gruesome looking and I want CUTE. But I still like this. It suits her personality better than cute.

still having fun with corgi doodles. 8D lately the only things i've been able to draw decently have been cute animals and gag strips. I wouldnt complain, except that means I can't draw pr0n as well as i might like. X3333 kidding. [maybe]

i've been trying to design a postcard that i might use as a thank you note. [i have several i need to send out. T_T;] But I might also try and make a card set for conventions. that said, I have no thoughts of fortune on the matter. [although i might if these were Sonic or NaruxSasu instead of a Corgi] So I'm just making me some cards. Of cute dogs. For fun.

some designs ~ I can't decide which of them to use if any of them are good at all. The rest of the corgis will follow whatever design I pick for Buncorgi. For my own purposes, I could just write thank you on any of them, so only look at the design, not a potential sending purpose of mine.


plain. simple. pink.
If this were a folding card [vs. postcard] those bottom stripes might be inside the card, the corgi and dotted grey areas being cut to reveal it.



I like the logo piccie. Not sure if "buncorgi" is necessary tho. but picturec them in a set. what do you think? cheesy? lame? too much like pokemon or any other such game?



Ye olde standby: checkers.



A variation on checkers. O_o



MORE checkers.



back to pink!



back to gray! but even cooler gray. i liked this one enough to write thankyou on it.

Except thank you is two words.

thank ewe very much.

[I'm tired.]

Any advice on these designs is appreciated. X3 <3 Even if you just want to say which you don't like. 'cause I have no idea which ones I like.
 
And that's that. on a side note, i'm wanting to make 12 of these total. <3 that would be some feat for me, as i never finish anything. 5 rainbow mystical creatures, 4 seasons, and then moon, sun, and star corgis. ^^ the original orange/yellow corgi will now be summer. 8D So I drew a NEW orange/yellow corgi! [please see here for the finished versions of the first 5.]

CORGITSUNE. <3 <3 <3

Corgitsune and Buncorgi are little mates. X3 They have a litter of three baby usaginutsunes. XDDDD [usaginutsunes = buncorgitsunes] all three usaginutsunes are boys. [Buncorgi is tired always. T_T]

@_@ Now that I've cutified your day beyond repair, i'ma go to bed.

She did, by a land slide! O_O and wow, so many people commented on my last entry ... i was unaware so many people actively read my sketchblog. Thank you very much for the input! I'm now contemplating a dark and light corgi pair or something. XD eh. [not likely]

But here we goooooooo.... Mergi. ^^ She is a bit more ... mature looking than the others. I don't know why. Perhaps she feels somber to me, and thus mature. Random note ~ Mergi's mer parts are from my favorite water animal. <3 Ribbon seals. X33333 they're tho cute.
 


When I finish the other 3, i'll likely go strait to posting them in my DA and MR.

X3333 Can't believe I drew these. They give me cutegasms. I need one more tho! They're going to be rainbow, you see. Buncorgi is pink/red obvious, Corgiflower is orange/yellow, Corgzilla is green, and Corgicorn is purple........ I NEED A BLUE. O_O I thought about a werecorgi, but when i drew it out, i didnt like it. may try again, tho. I also thought of cloud or moon.



Ideas? O_o;

mhm. ... gotta post something for December. *personal goal to post at least once a month* <__<;;; geez. better not push myself, now.

Doodle comic. For those who used to read ASPS. If you didn't ... ah ... don't bother reading... there are more interesting things for you elsewhere. In case you insist, though ~ Characters: The rotten one is Ri-chan, the sweet one is Southern Crown. Situation: Ri-chan and Southern Crown are angels with the same problem expressed oppositely. Neither are spotless enough for acceptance among other angels. Southern Crown is a prisoner in paradise, so to speak. He can't leave for fear that he'll go join up with his sinful earth dwelling counterparts. Ri-chan is in mostly self imposed emo exile, returning to the pretty city only when coerced or driven by need. ... Also, too many duties to actually be in exile [but he likes to wish]. The two consort on the basis of sharing the common underdog factor and get along better than they appear to here. Here ~ Ri-chan brought strange earth delicacies back for Southern Crown. They're funny square sugary things called POP TARTS.

Nothing serious business about this at all. It will never be "finished". No crits, pls.

[for the asps aware ~ this comic would fit into the timeline a few months before Ry and Wru's fateful thanksgiving dinner at the chinese restaraunt]

Nothing else to say. o__o; besides my usual malcontent. I would much rather post a random comic and go to bed than blog about it, though.

edited. likely it's still quite bad. T_T; so rusty ... so shameful. nothing to do but humbly ask for help, though. Thank you for commenting on my last entry, hopefully it has improved. I wish my eye was tuned enough to see these errors. I do as much fixing as I can by myself but am largely at a loss. Please crit more if needed.



Eventually she'll be standing in a red pond with white lillies. : D

Someone can't draw people in even slight perspectiiiiive............. actually, honestly, I used to be alright at it, but I'm very rusty. T_T; It's been many months since I've drawn as much as I wanna. [circumstances. you know.] Buuut... anyway. Trying to get sharp at it again. Help pls. I really want it to look alright. I've been reading millions of volumes of Red River and I had to fanart Ishtar. <3




I wanna paint it! oAo Mainly because I need to sharpen up those painting skills, too, in preperation for Birdfish pages. I could at any moment stop roughing Birdfish and start DRAWING it but I havent got the guts. XD I did one experiment already with Friskit and it turned out SO bad. @_@ Damned friskit. I hated it so much I returned The Devil's Friskit to the store from whence it came the day after I bought it.

Yes anyway, advice appreciated on this.

Extra thanks to those who have been commenting the recent entries I've written. ><;;;; I truly am helped just by talking to others.

What did YOU do this morning?

the chronicles of Unibrow continue... )
 ps. I've been loving my sketchblog lately. I love how  personal it is. I can comment back to people and enjoy talking... it's the only place I do. Big gallery sites are too much for me. @_@ So thanks for being here and reading it.

I was ... on a semi date, I guess. It would have been a date if I hadn't invited others to join this guy and I, but I'm horrible at dates and other forms of social awkwardness... besides that, only God knows if this man actually likes me. I doubt it actually matters, either. But we were talking before our friends arrived.


[ugh photobucket resized this] [haha! second comic of men crying in potties I've drawn this week!]

Anyway, I decided to not say this. I was about to, and then I realized it was something one does not say to men they like.

But this is how I imagine it would have went. XD

Hum. >< Liking others is such a problem for me. I can't flirt conventionally ... I don't know how one scoots closer to the guy and ... holds their hand or subtly rubs their chest against his arm or something. Ew. I CRINGE imagining myself doing that. @_@ But when I like someone, they never know I do.... T_T the only obvious difference is that perhaps I talk to them more, which is a common sign of friendship, not romance. ... and I have a horrible habit of falling for my friends, although never if they're already seeing someone. Cheating or tempting others to cheat is repulsive to me.

euuuuuuuh. I guess if I were serious about this... I would call the guy up and ask him to go to the masquerade with me! O_O But it's tonight ... and i'm a chicken who can't flirt.
 

Edit: aw................ another day I think. T_T Love was not in the cards for me tonight. [er. XD drama much?] *angst angst pout pout* I decided to show up to the masquerade with other friends, but its been raining so bad all day that I couldn't get there. So I called Unibrow to see if he was still going and wanted to drive me [tee hee] but... he wasn't going anymore either. Because of the rain.

So I did the laundry instead. And then I did the dishes.
