Birthday gifts for some of my friends :) I really like my handwriting in these, but it's just too bad that I'm usually far too lazy to care most of the time.

I did the sketch a couple of weeks ago (?) but never got around to scanning/coloring it until today. I got lazy mostly with her skin colors because... I hate coloring in skin. Haha. I get super excited to color in the skin at first because I think it'll turn out great, and then I end up getting frustrated because the face shadows never look right. I guess it's mostly because it's in anime style so most of the face shadows don't make sense anyway.

I should start experimenting more with poses and stuff. I usually do a stiff-looking person with no personality that faces to the left 95% of the time. Mostly because I don't like it when stuff looks weird because it's in a different angle than what I'm used to, and sometimes because I'm just lazy/busy/"busy" to practice. I'll try something more dynamic next time!

Also, her shoulders are kinda small but whuteva. I should stop criticizing myself so much lol. I really like how her hair turned out though!

The bag I ordered came in today~ I got the girly bag because it's cheaper haha. It's also bigger than I expected, although not bigger than the one that I usually use that is breaking. Maybe I'll show it off tomorrow since I'm going out with Michelle and Albert (?). Maybe I'll take a picture of what I'm wearing too. :)

Michelle, Albert, and I were in Manhattan yesterday by Columbus Circle and we got to meet this guy named Joe Mangrum. He creates art right on the ground... with colored sand! And then he sweeps it all up later ;_;

I did take some pictures from my phone on what he was working on, but it's refusing to cooperate with me so I guess I'll try uploading the crappy phone-quality pictures tomorrow.

These are my favorite ones so far, from his previous works. I love the intense colors.




Visit his website to see more of his stuff - not everything that he did is there because I stalked him on Facebook and got the previous pictures from there ._. But he does more than sand paintings~

LOL I feel like I'm advertising him or something but I'm not - this guy really has skills! So you should go see the rest of his work yeah ok bye

en taro kerrigan!

I started drawing again, I guess. I always get these little bursts of motivation after looking at awesome art, but then I lose it again after a couple of days.
It's supposed to be Kerrigan, but I think she looks more like a fragile Barbie doll than some kickass Ghost. I'm pretty proud of how the lips turned out, because they usually end up looking too fat or too thin or just plain disgusting/weird, or everything that I just mentioned combined. I was actually planning to do a fullbody sketch but I got lazy because I didn't want to draw the whole Ghost uniform. :< So the uniform on the Kerrigan that I drew is sort of bs'd, sort of accurate haha.

Here's the uncolored sketch if you're interested.

snow
28 December 2010 @ 23:22
Hello again!

It's always feeling like I haven't blagged in a while. Maybe it's because it's winter break, and that I have nothing to really blag about...? I mean, it's only been 3 days since my last post, so it's not that long of a time. We had a pretty big blizzard though - the snow in some parts of New York went up to 30 inches!

During the blizzard,



and the morning after:



The people that go to public schools are probably quite lucky, because Bloomberg might have kept them open. It's happened before, we had around 18 or 20 inches of snow before and he still kept the schools open. :(

Anyway, I've been playing Killing Floor almost nonstop yesterday and today with the "nerd circle," as James calls it. It's quite scary, but fun at the same time. I actually didn't like it at first because I was all like "fkgjdf;klgjs where's the freaking crosshair omg I can't aim wtf why do I suck" but I didn't know that you had to aim down your sights. :P I sort of think it helps me get used to aiming for the head instead of the chest like I usually do; most the zombies/mutants/monsters move pretty slowly so it gives me time to aim :)

Oh and umm, I drew this one girl's OC a few days ago - it's been a really long while since I've drawn anything, really. He's supposed to be a boy but I have this weird thing of making everything I draw look grossly feminine. I think it's the lips, but it kind of annoys me when I don't draw/color in the lips so I did it anyway:


I've always been jealous of people who can draw things that are (not too) gruesome/violent-looking and still make it look awesome. Like with a lot of blood and SRS faces without big anime-ish eyes and normal-sized noses and mouths :< I think the reason why I kinda gave up drawing stuff was because I can't really find my own style. Even though I draw in a generic anime/manga style and I (sort of?) get compliments for it, I'm sick of it because it's so easy to replicate. But of course, there are those very talented anime artists that do have their own awesome style - I'm not saying that all anime artists suck. :> I think it takes actual skill to draw something realistically, but realistic styles kinda bore me too, because it looks... too real, kind of like something without style. Haha. I'll stop complaining now. Let's look at some pretty art instead ok :)

NO ENTRY - I love the way she draws blood splatters and stuff :>
The soul guardians I
Medic sketch
Smoker
Sailor Mars
raven - matsuri
the maraunerds - this kind of style isn't as "spectacular" as the ones above I guess, but I've always loved this kind of trollin' style
