School work


Made this one at school, the only thing I'm not happy about is the fact that I didn't have time to find a color for the sidewalk so it's the same color as his neck. I don't know what a good color for sidewalk is in that picture as it always looks rather white to me but white looks wrong and I used most of the grey-scale as it was. Ok, now that I'm glancing at details again, the hair could be better, though it's alright and not bad for never having tried a hairstyle like that before. Wasn't sure how to manage the perspective of the street: I was in school and so couldn't find a reference, plus I don't think there's any streets that look like that around here, but it turned out alright too.

Alice


So, I felt like puttin a picture up. I haven't gotten the scanner to work for me yet so here's a rather poor computer rendering of Alice. (you know, provided blogger works proper like)

Grrl Probs

W3 r h4vn pr0bs w/ t3h Grrl5. My co-conspirator is having problems rendering them. He's only actually tried once, and those who saw it said it looked fine, but he poo-poo-ed it, saying it looked like a male. I suggested he draw a bunch today: he pointed out he'd be spending time with the rest of the pack and we both laughed about the consequences of perfecting art amongst wolves. He still better crank some out tomorrow though, even if they do look like crap. I've kinda ignored workin on what it appears will be largely my part for a while, I'll do some 'o that aftah this post. My source also hasn't sent me the information I requested though I was supposed to call him today, whoops. Mayhaps I will after this as well, but I doubt it: he's supposed to be gettin his beauty sleep about now (fat chance 'o that). The project still exists but Reality seems to be looking for another meal, hopefully I can save this idea from the beasts monstrous maw.

The beast returns

It was fresh from the womb, and rather healthy looking. The plan mewled in its newfound glory, unaware of the danger approaching. Slowly, the beast crept towards the nest, keeping low in the long grasses that hid it so well. In a moment of tensed muscles and rending flesh it was over: the plan had been slaughtered and the beast enjoyed yet another meal. Reality is thwarting me again. I may be headed towards a frozen waste instead. It's not the frozen waste part that's bad, it's the distance between here and there, and the fact that they may or may not offer the languages I'm interested in, though they mentioned sponsoring trips elsewhere so perhaps my luck may hold. As far as that ambition requiring project: it's taken a twist I'd not anticipated but it seems to be going forward. I've been working my butt off for it at the expense of other things of so called importance but I believe the fruit will be worth the effort. So far the basic outline is nearing completion and my friend may have a handle on the content soon.
