Nekkid

From yesterday's Figgy Drawing.

It's not done (of course), since I am SLOW. But it was fun. :3

Done with conte crayon.

The photo took some of the shading and color out. D:

Quickie

I haven't seen the new Who yet (shame shame); I'm watching the new SNL now instead. ^^; But for those of you who have seen it, here's a "prequel" to the finale, "The Wedding of River Song."


Other stuff:

We're working on individual body parts in Figgy 2 these next few weeks. Last week was the face/head. We did a portrait of the model in half an hour. Like a fool, I chose soft pastels, so I didn't finish since I'm slow. >.>
The coloring around the clavicle area is NOT the clavicle itself. I was making marks so that I could mold it into the chest later, but the prof stopped us before I could. If that were really his clavicle, then he'd be screaming in pain. (It would look broken) XD


And here are pics of that big lotus shrine thing. We can  redo the project and turn it in at the end of the semester, which is good since I have/had lots of plans for it. (Clay molded into flowers and statues, then painted, for one) So it's not perfect, but it did get a positive response. I'm going to use people's suggestions and probably redo it to make it more secure. I do love the painted cardboard. (to look like wood) :3

That floppy/lying-down petal didn't stay up. XD

Close-up of the fish (I'll be adding more of them along with water plant life):

Heads Were Rolling

Another post the day after the last one? Can I keep this up? (Of course not!)

I'm currently doing homework in the school library. ._.; Fun fun. (Save me!)

Here's some junk from yesterday's Figgy Drawing class.

Quicky heads



Quicky from old movie still (forehead is too big)


Skull, with some added features. I named my skull "Harry." I dunno why, it just looked like a Harry to me. (Or an Uncle Frank. Anyone know the reference? If so, have a cookie!)


Portrait of Erin, our model for the day. Kind of looks like her, if she were glaring at something out of frame. XD


We may be doing self-portraits. Oh boy, oh boy. For the "other" portrait, I'm probably going to do Tennant or Smith, or both, since their faces are pretty unique and interesting. Let's show the class how nerdy I am! (It probably wouldn't surprise the prof though)

Junky Junk Junk

First of all, here is my favorite part from this Saturday's "The God Complex."

Gotta love the floppy dummy hand when it hits the cupboard.

Anyway,  here are some Figgy Drawing things:
Quick inks; hope we do these again. They were fun. :3

Body study. (LULZ, what are hands?)
That pastel nude. Didn't finish it, but the professor said the model might do the same pose so that I can finish it today. >.>


For 3D design:
I'm trying to build a Buddhist temple (and I use that term lightly), but making it more organic. It'll be on a 30x20 board of foamcore, which will be made to look like a lake with walkways on said lake (and those will look "leafy"). So it'll be kind of like a real lotus you find on the surface of water. I have the clay to build statues(but if I run out of time, I'll just temporarily plop my store-bought sculptures on it instead). And I'll also mold flowers out of clay and paint them (or just mold them and paint them at a later date). Greenery will be spread throughout to make the "wood" (I painted cardboard for that effect. Does it look okay?) more natural, like a garden.
Why do I always go for complex stuff? I don't have enough time for it, but I have heard that this certain professor allows students to add to and/or change projects if need be, as long as we show that we've made an effort.
The sketch(and I doubt the real thing will look this elegant):


The stuff:

Recognize that rug?

And here's a quick sketch (not done since I drew this from memory) of a chapter cover for the PMMM/DW crossover. I need to pick a name and stop calling it "The PMMM/DW CROSSOVER." Feel free to throw out ideas. :P
I'll do 11/Homura too.
The writing in the corner says: "Don't lose your cool!" But "cool" is crossed out with the word "head" under it. (yes, I'm poking fun at poor Mami. Sorry, Mami!)
The plushies sketch isn't done. Sorry, Derrot. ): (It's not like it's a masterpiece anyway. XD)
Speaking of whom, go to her blog and look at the lovely sketches from her WIP comic (and I WILL comment on them, Der. At some point. ._.;)

Convert(s) to the Church of Whovianism

 So, my father turned on DW ("The Girl Who Waited"), to see "what all the hoopla was about," as he put it. It seemed to catch his interest (even though the character relationships wouldn't mean jack shit to him since he doesn't know who these people are), and he was disappointed that the Best of the Monsters special shown afterward cut off. So I showed him "Blink," and he loved it. (That seems to be the Official Starter Episode) I'm going to show him the other Weeping Angel eps, along with a few others so that I can prove that there are wonderful gems among the campiness (because some eps are just plain awful, I'm sad to say). He wants to start from the beginning of NewWho though, so maybe he'll get into it? I mean, he liked Sliders and other campy stuff back in the day. Why not this British monstrosity? (And I mean that in the most affectionate way)
Mother also saw "Blink," but she's not into sci-fi, so that may be her only exposure to Who. She saw one of the "funny" campy ones not too long ago, and thought it was stupid as all hell, so... XD
Any ep suggestions from y'all, for starters/baby Whovians?

Anywaaaaaaaaaaay. I'm done babbling.

I have a pastel figure drawing to post, but I'm not finished cleaning it up. Maybe tomorrow. 8D

Today, I was feeling down because my Painting/Drawing Research prof shot down my series ideas. D: Now I have no bloody hell what to do. I kind of just want to do something ANGRY, still dealing with death, but still ANGRY and dark and BLACK. She loves abstract, and I hate it. People say to please professors since we only have them for a semester, and then do what we want afterward, but this class is supposed to help build up a body of work for Portfolio, and I am NOT doing fucking abstracts for that. I would rather grow a pair of testicles and shove rusty nails into them. I won't show something to the teacher/portfolio panel if I hate it. What would I say? EH?!

Er, moving on. After that little beat-down (did I mention that she made another girl cry? XD), I started doodling and did a tiny bit of something pertaining to my PMMM/DW crossover. Meh, it's just a sketch of a chapter page (Mami and 10, similar to the tiny panel I've posted before; still need to do Homura and 11) and some Master/Simm stuff.  (LOVE drawing his nose. Lovelovelove. *honks it*) Oh, and plushies make an appearance, just a tiny one.
I might post those tomorrow too. Yay?
(Foolishly, I picked up the wrong sketchbook and did these in the one for classes, especially for Figgy Drawing. I can't rip them out because I've tried that with another book of similar make and it screwed the binding. Wonder what the prof's reaction will be. Hopefully, I don't draw something dirty in it by accident, considering my bad luck. 8D Maybe I'll just fold those pages over)

And may I say that this lovely piece of PMMM art by Miss Jadine makes me happy in the pants? (And it has interesting info in the comments!)

Still on for Thurs. afternoon/night, Derrot? Since I am slow as Christmas with replying, maybe we can work everything into that convo? 8D Especially the idol video and Hellhoney character sketches, and whatever else. I hate keeping you waiting. D: School is going to sodomize me with a broom this semester, I just know it.

Series WIP 2

So I have the lines finished for the other five pieces. ._.; They're not perfect, but I am pressed for time. Plus, I have other class work to do. Eek! *runs around crazily*
Let's see:
(There are shadows and darkness because I didn't use the flash. All are 18x11 and 1/2)
Cat (guardians of the Underworld and the dead)


Crow(takes souls to the Underworld. There's also a little story about how Crow pecked at its shadow until the shadow devoured it, causing Crow to become Dead Crow and guardian of the supernatural)


Orca/Killer Whale (Associated with the goddess Sedna, who is ruler of the dead)


Snake(represents death and rebirth through the shedding of its skin)


Owl(Death and Wisdom, also considered an ill omen in some cultures)


Backgrounds are still giving me a headache.

And here's something from Wednesday's Figgy Drawing class:


Time for funny (at least to me). These were sent to me a couple of days ago; someone knows me well. :P They're basically several vids of DW characters doing STORIES TIEMZ on a kids show (same show too, I think).  They're cute and, if you take into account the roles the actors have played, amusing.
1. Freema Agyeman - because I think she's adorable.
2. John Barrowman- Well, it's John Barrowman. No need to say why it's cool. :P
3. David Tennant - I thought his holding the penguin plushie was adorable. And it's cuter because it reminded me of when Derrot and I had the idea of recreating scenes with plushies (shut up and don't judge, hardy har har), and I chose the Emporer Penguin to be the Master. *snerk* We just need a cockatoo to be the Doc and we're all set.
4. John Simm - Since Mister Master tends to use innuendo and fetish fuel, hearing this dude say, "Can you see my cat?" made me lose it. Mainly because he's sitting a little "too relaxed." Man, cross your legs! XD Your cat's trying to get out.
5. Christopher Eccleston- He tells a story about monkeys. Just look at him and see why this fits so well.
6. Philip Glenister- Okay, he's not from DW, but if you have seen the series "Life on Mars," you'll get why this is hilarious. I kept waiting to hear him scream, "TYLA!" or "This is a story about a boy named Tyler. Tyler was a major pain in my arse."

More DW stuff (since I'm not sick of it yet)-
Nash- He reviews Classic Who, and they're pretty entertaining. :3

Derrot, if you link to that crack vid here, I won't mind. *curious* :3

I'm hoping to get through my messages at the end of this week, since I believe I'll have a tiny breathing period. Lots of things are due this week! D: And I need to figure out what to do for the next series. AGH! I wanted to show the page sketches I did of the DW/PMMM comic, but I'm probably gonna trash them. 8D
