Zee Coloring List

I'm going to try something different when it comes to coloring. In her tutorial, Setsu-P says she scans a drawing then prints it out to ink and color, leaving the hard copy untouched. That way, if a mistake happens, another copy will be readily available. I think this is a problem with me. I've always colored on the originals and got pissed if something bad happened, leaving it unfinished or finishing it hurriedly and half-assedly. And that's a reason why most of my pics are half-colored. >.> So, I'm going to take a page out of Setsu's book and print out my old scans. Hopefully, they'll be colored. 8D

I've already started on that Chibi Tower Senshi Meshia after printing it on good paper which can handle colored pencil.

Others (and these are OLD):
Kri's Sailor Musca
Jateshi's character (Tanzanite?)
Maria's Funhouse and Mae
Ayashi's Sailor Pessinus and Sailor Pluto (I'll have to draw in Pessi's red jar thing and Pluto's eye first) This picture I have completely lost. Thank gods I still have this copy.
Circle's Sefina: *ahem* The original agreement was to paint this, but after messing around with it, it became screwed up (holes and crinkling). The problem was the paper, which couldn't handle acrylics. It had to be thrown out. Now that I can (somewhat) use oils, I'll look for good paper and see if it can hold onto oil(after I use Photoshop to erase those unnecessary lines).
Setsu's Isis and Cyrus (I need to draw her other characters soon. LOTS of those buggers are running around.).
Luna/Lotus' senshi: Even though she doesn't do senshi anymore, I still like these and had ideas about how I wanted to color them (with a limited palette, based on their outfit colors).

From here:
Sailor Metal
Daenan and Kehai for Shai (these were getting colored, but then I got mad at them. 8D I can use the scans as a fresh start.) I'll do this for that Zai'al and Daenan(shown on dA,) pic, and maybe the solo Zai'al drawing when Shai tells me how the outfit's bottom half looks.
Gunner! Kashoku after fixing her arm.
Maybe Lucifer.

Remember those leg pictures I was doing of my characters with other peeps' creations? They'll be worked on again. :3 I just hit a slump. Same goes for the 100 characters meme. Tried to continue yesterday, aaaaaaaaand nothing came. ;_;

I need to code more of my site too. Geez, no wonder I get so flustered and slow down. o.O

Bitch Stole My Look!

Since I'm done with the monstrosity the horse painting, I can start sketching again. But I'll paint again at some point. I just need to get my hands stretched out and working once more. >.>

Crappy stuff first. Or at least, "crappiest." 8D

Puellae Magi drawn at the top of my notes. Don't bother trying to read. The teacher talks so fast, so I had to scribble. What are they doing? Fighting (not with each other). Yup yup. It'll be transferred to bigger paper.


Weird creature idea. It has a bunch of ears on its horns. o.O The nerves and anatomy would be interesting to see.


Doodle of dark-skinned person. It's already smearing, but that's how pencils go. I like how the arms came out. :3


Me being haunted by geese. My campus is home to a flock of them, or several flocks. They'll honk and just STARE at you. O_O Some will attack people too. I had a whole group staring at me today. Fun fun.
 Note: "Swoop" refers to our mascot, the Osprey. We even have a little "move" to go with the word. D:

Hedwig and Gaga. Yeah, I like Gaga but I made her so bad and dumb here. 8D *laziness* I was more focused on Hedwig.


Translation of my crappy writing:
G: Hey, Hedy. We should totally team up for a show!

H: Hmm...
*thinking* Did this bitch raid my closet? The hell? Is that my wig?
Mmm... No, thank you.
*thinking again* Can't have my songs stolen. Again.

G: C'mon. The two of us and my friend can be beacons of hope for freaks everywhere!
*pause*
G: Say hey to Princess Beatrice!

H: AGH!

Yay? >.> References- Gaga has been accused of using similar songs/rhythms, so Hedy doesn't want to be around her. Hedy's former boyfriend, Tommy Gnosis, stole her work (it was collaborative, I should say) and became famous off it, so she trails him as he tours the road. Teaming-up isn't appealing to her.

The wig thing. Hedy has LOTS of wigs. So does Gaga, and she seems to be on the lookout for more.

Hedy's wigs:
I think Gaga would cream herself if she saw all of those.

Watch full Hedwig movie on Youtube here. (Foreign subtitles)

And then there's Beatrice. If you watched any of the royal wedding coverage, you will remember her as a wearer of one of those weird hats. What got to me wasn't the hat, but her eyes. Her EYES. O_O They freak me out. That's horrible to say, but they're just so big or somethin.'


I'll do dA messages tomorrow; 'tis quite late now.

Daily Cuteness:


No soundtrack for today except for Ayreon's "The Human Equation" album. How I drew silly stuff while listening to something dark I dunno.
Sample Track

Nighty night!

One More Before the Finish! (?)


Now with a slightly darker mane (shadows added as suggested) and pansy outlines. I tried to limit the flowers because I don't want them to overshadow the horse.

Doodily Doo

First day of summer term. D: I'm taking an ASL structure/linguistics class which looks like it's gonna be killer. Wish me luck! (Even though I'm more excited about it than my other two classes coming up.)

Updates? Hmmm... well, I've painted the majority of the horse mane; I really just need to make it look like it's part of the horse and not cotton candy stuck to its head. XD (Why does that always happen to me?)

No music links or fun stuff today since I'm on the school's computer, which is a Mac. I'm not good with Mac. Plus, they have a mouse and I haven't used one of those for over a year. Where's my damn touchpad?! 8D I feel so awkward. Eh, I need to get used to it though if I plan on doing CG.

Those five sketches from the previous post are currently being redone and purdy-fied.

See ya'll!

A Daily Dose of Vitamin OC (Long)

5/14- Just fixing a few things.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

Note: Instead of embedding so many vids, I'll just list songs and other junk through links (unless there are only a few things I want to share. I don't want to crash any browsers).

 Whew, Blogger was down for awhile or I would have posted this yesterday. Lots of people had shitfits about the service being down too. o.O I just wrote everything in a document so that I could easily post then run when everything was back to normal. Some comments have temporarily disappeared due to the downtime; hopefully, they'll be back.

Anywaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Quick sketches. They'll be done over (I hope, knowing how wishy-washy I am) but it's proof that I'm not ignoring those suggestions. :P

Grimmy and Hollow-suggested by Ayashi: Nothing much here. I tried out several poses and I think the top left one will be best as a full-sized pic. Hollow in all of these looks submissive, eh? Well, I figured that since he deals in death, he'd be a little respectful of a personification of death. My Grimmy is becoming an OC. Oh dear.


Speaking of Death-these amuse me:
Drivetime Commerical  (patting him on the head XD)

Violet for Luna- I wanted to draw that crazy hair of hers as shown here I also wanted an excuse to draw a classy character pigging out on chocolate, sinc eI'm bitch like that. Sorry, Luna. XD


Grace for Circle- I don't know how I came across this gal. I have three images of her and know nothing about her. (Care to enlighten me, Circle? :3 I'm curious about the dude too) I was intrigued by her expression; it seemed snobby, but I liked it. XD I like the hands here, but they're BIG. 
 

Jadine's Sofya/my Sophia- Not meant to be shoujo-ai.
Jadine and I joke about our two Demiurge stories competing with one another, considering how we both use Gnostic and Buddhist concepts and have a character based on the Pistis-Sophia (and other characters have similar names). Hers is more loosely based on the Gnostic mythology, while I take a more literal approach (idea-wise anyway. I doubt Sophia was meant to look like how I drew her.) That stuff on the left is a branch.
>.>


Derrot and Momoko- I know nothing about this Hello! Project, but Derrot loves it. I checked it out today, and DAMN. This “group” has a lot of people in it. I'm not into Japanese music mostly, but maybe I can find something I like within this vast...thing, ^^;
Momoko Tsugunaga is her idol/goddess, so I found a hairstyle and outfit that I liked of Momoko's. I dunno what happened. XD Japanese fashion is so odd sometimes. I added that ribbon/cloth to make it look as if she were floating like a deity.
Momoko is cute (the real one). I tried making her look Japanese. BAHAHAHA. Failed there, but I like the peaches that fly like helicopters. (I THINK she's associated with peaches. Hope so.)



Didn't paint today. D: I'll try tonight. Here's another pic of the WIP. I mainly added the ears, more shadows and muscles, smoothed stuff out, and the blue sky background. I've started on the clouds (and they're kind of difficult). Does that nose vein look too weird? I think I should add more suggestions of the veins since horse veins tend to be visible from the eyes to nostrils.

With Flash (more accurate representation of hardcopy)


No flash (see a little more detail).


Daily Cuteness/funny!
Husky: “I Love You” -  Sure, this is nice and all, but imagine hearing that howling ALL the time. Damn huskies. ._.;

Mumzy's Day of Musicality



Yeah, I started this REALLY late, but hey, she knows, and is fine with it. :P I need to slim down the muzzle to make it look Arabian and add lots of colorful pansies.
(Picture taken without flash, hence the yellowish haze)


I have stuff sketched, but I got out of the hospital room today and don't feel like scanning right now. 8D (Nothing wrong, just another sleep study. Joy.)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
I wanted to try this new thing earlier on, but kept forgetting to write stuff down. I love music, and listen to lots as I'm drawing or working. (And I also watch stuff like Nostalgia Critic to keep myself awake.) From now on, I hope to link to what I have listened to during my "arting" sessions, and share the love. Maybe y'all will find something you like?


Type O-I Don't Wanna Be Me Baaaaaaaaaaaw(speaking of Lady Gaga and "drag")

Hedwig and the Angry Inch- Wig in a Box I don't care if it's a dude dressed as a woman, playing a transgendered person. Hedwig is HOT.
Is there a theme running here? o.O

Within Temptation-The Howling
                                                                    
Latest SNL Ep

Epica- Chasing the Dragon (about drug addiction; quite powerful with that in mind)


Key of Awesome - Heavy Metal Cats (parody of Metallica's "Enter Sandman")

Kamelot- Ghost Opera



*goes to add more links to site* >.> I want it DONE. D:

Random Foxy-ness. She's a weirdo who likes to sunbathe.

Third Post(Le Fail)

Kashou WIP (or was). 8D She's one of my PMMM OCs.



I'm gonna work on those requests/suggestions now. Maybe they'll cooperate.

Taking a cue from Jadine, and linking Gaga's new vid. I like it. But hey, I do like Gaga. She's definitely not my favorite artist, but she amuses me.

Some of the outfits here remind me of Angel Sanctuary.(Considering the context)


And here's something I'll be watching in full later. Bloody hell.
Remember that Svetlonos film I linked earlier? That's dude's dad did this movie, I believe.

Dude, What the Hell? XD

 

Friday, Friday. Gettin' Down on Friday.

Title influenced by this video. I feel bad for her because she's been receiving death threats. >.> But the lyrics are just comedic. They help you learn the days of the week!

Anyway, here's a redo of my Shimo pic. I'm redoing it. 8D She's too top heavy, or somethin.' Halp! D: This is what happens when I should be asleep. *excuses excuses*

This Should Be Easy-Oh Craaaap *barf*(Long)

And once again comes a title that has nothing to do with the sketch. 8D

Anyway, yesterday I had a Tilt Table Test. I thought it would be easy, considering I would just have to be upright for a little while. Well, nooooooope. I started sweating, getting dizzy, my blood pressure dropped, and I began gagging (I had to fast so I had nothing in my stomach which could come up). Then they gave me medicine to speed up my heart. :D SO MUCH FUNZ, GAIZ!
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
I have added lots of blog links on the side. Check 'em out! Think there's a blog I might enjoy? Recommend it.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

Has anyone else noticed the creepiness of some companies' ads?
Take a look at this Pest Control one:


Look at Bono's Pit Bar B-Q:




"Please eat me!" or "My mommy sure tastes goooooooood. I R CANNIBAL."
The last logo is one I usually see with the pig holding a knife and fork, which makes it more bizarre. (Can't find a copy of that version however.)
ANYONE ELSE SEE ANYTHING WEIRD ABOUT THESE?! This sort of thing has always made me feel funny. >.> (I need a life, bahahahaha!) If y'all have anymore examples, please show them. I may start collecting these sorts of things. Dunno why yet; I find them intriguing and a little funny since the ad creators try to sugarcoat the reality. It's kind of like having animal heads watch you from above while you eat (Ex: steakhouses).
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
In other news, I'm re-making my site. Here it be. Nothing there yet, but something's coming. I need to work on a Mother's Day painting, so it may be awhile. o.O
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
I got a hair cut on Friday. I kind of look like Sayaka from PMMM with short, poofy hair.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
Ever seen Světlonoš? It's trippy.
Part 1
Part 2

This is starting to be more like a stupid observation and random events blog, rather than an art one, eh?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+

Here's the art, which is tacked on to this post!

Part 2 of that 100 Characters Meme. A quarter of this is done. Yay-ness. (I have started the 25th square, for those of you who want to say: "24 squares are not a quarter of a 100, nitwit!")
Some of them look weird because I did them right after the Tilt Table. 8D Don't try to do anything productive after one of those, guys.

Codes:
S-La: "Shangri-La"- Sailor Moon fic. Fenrir is always looking at Garuda with that look in her eyes. o.O
"Queen" Shekinah and Mary- One and the same. Shekinah is a goddess figure of the planet Kolob (Mormonism), and is wife/mate to Jehyahlah, king/god of Kolob. She has lots of hair. LOTS. Think Mistress 9. It is attached to the walls of her room and crystals hang from it. These contain the prayers and wishes of her people when they call to her, so that she can keep track of them.
She is incarnated as Mary on Kolob, gives birth to Meshia/Sailor Heaven, shit happens, she returns to her goddess body, shit happens again, and she travels to Earth as Mary, where she encounters my Angelic senshi and becomes one of their mentors. Complicated? >.>

Band: Described here. The two shown are connected to one another.


PMMM OC: Puella Magi- Kaze and Kashou-need to do real ref pics for these gals. I started on Shimo but Miss Derrot said it looked strange. D: *pokes her* Kidding. I'm fixing her so that I can start on Kaze and Kashou.
Kaze is using her can of raid and fire extinguisher to fight monster moths.
Kashou is attacking someone off-page. Her Witch form is peeking from behind her. The Witch of Denial always has her face partially covered. Her familiars are little flying things-bird bodies with human legs and feet and the "heads" are covered completely by veils. You can't see what's under them. Just imagine those coming at you. XD

D-S.M.: Demiurge-Sprained Minds - June(Hoon-yah) is something of an "incarnation" of my Sailor Archangel. Archy was originally named Junryou as a civilian. I used her likeness and something related to her name when I was creating characters for my original story. They're a bit similar. Both have tragic stories, weight problems, and psychological problems. June is more talkative however, throughout the story. Archy starts off as a (semi-)chatterbox, then becomes closed as time goes on.
June here is at the base of the Demiurge, who is shown below her square. (He/It is actually a lot more detailed) Another outfit of hers will look similar to Archy's, without the SM-ness.
Gabriella- Like my Adlai, she is a carry-over from a Heaven vs. Hell comic I worked on years ago. Now she's wingless and something of a gypsy. What's she surprised about? Hmmm, maybe Demiurge's eye is looking right at her. D:

Pristiq- Very basic design. Not done at all. The arms are weird. She got the short shaft since she was the first I drew after my test. XD
