Random Babble Rabble

My last semester is this spring. D:

First of all, here's my promised quickie pic of Nicolina for Derrot. I've had it done for awhile now, but just haven't been taking pics of my stuff lately. >.> So it sat around for some time. ^^;

                                           

Here's Figgy Drawing stuff:

First four are all in Conte

Master copy of Seurat

We had to copy an artist's style; don't think I succeeded. >.> They're not done, so that's probably why. (My prof's like: "Y u not eva feenish?!", but nicer) I'm really slow.

Here's some experimental thing the prof had us do, which kind of baffled me. It's tracing paper with figures drawn and colored, pasted on good paper and colored over again. o.O Yeah, I dunno what I was doing.

Other figgies-

                                                     I'll be doing this one in colored pencil.

                                                                         Conte on board

Oil pastel-not done in the least. (But at least I'm paying attention to ALL of the colors in the skin, rather than just the peach tones)

I really like the class, since I've been trying different media (conte, soft pastel, oil pastel, colored pencil, etc.) I'm trying to get back into coloring a lot more, like I used to, with colored pencils. Currently, I'm working on skin tones in my sketchbook and using a simple tutorial to help (I have others but this has the least amount of pencils to use for now). 

My three Puellae Magi. I stopped since I think the idea I have would be better on bigger paper. They'll be bursting out of their Soul Gems (EGGS) with their elements flowing around them. If that made no sense, don't worry. XD

My Tennant (Cockerels crow whenever they please, thank you) and Simm(Mr. Cycle Shorts) portraits are coming out okay, I suppose.

Babbling (in list-form!)-

+ MMO Grinder/ChaosD1 takes the piss out of the show, Paranormal State. I HATE PS, so this amused me greatly.

He also plays MMORPGs and gives reviews on them. Believe me, it's more entertaining than it sounds. This one in particular is lulzy for the Engrish he encounters. I played lots of these games years ago, so I can relate to his frustrations. 8D Maple Story is also fantastic.

+I've been listening to the Blogtor Who commentaries, and I really like the hosts' banter. They're all close to an hour in length, so you may lose patience with it if you're not watching the ep at the same time or occupying yourself in some other way (which is what I do). Dalek in particular was awesome (I thought his explanation about why a single Dalek is even there and chained up is hilarious.)

+I've also been listening to DW audio books and audio dramas since I really can't read for “fun” these days, and I want to catch up on everything. Do you know how MANY stories are out there besides what's seen in the show? And that doesn't count the short stories and comics. ._.; The frustration of being a newbie. The ones I have heard thus far seem to be of the horror genre, which is odd considering how the show plays out before Moffat. I do like how the actors get into their roles. :3

+Last DW-related thing: I've seen the first two series of Sarah Jane Adventures. Despite some cringe-worthy moments (like the music that plays Every.Single.Time. Mr. Smith shows up), it is pretty entertaining. (It's a kids show, so of course it's cheesy). But there is one villain that gives me the creeps:

D: I think he would be more intimidating if he just didn't talk. His lines are so corny, and it kind of takes away from his sinister image (yet I still love the camp). But those EYES, or lack thereof. ;_; He just needs to shut up once in awhile.

+Game-wise: I've figured out how to play DOOM again, on Windows 7 :3 Now I can cut demons up with a chainsaw whenever I want! And I've recently acquired the Myst games; should be brain-twisting.

+Sherlock and Mad Dogs (with more “moonchkins,” I hope) return in early 2012. FWEE!

As for shows that are kind of “meh”: Grimm. I was very interested in this show, but it's three eps in, and I just can't give a damn. I did see a guy with a scythe in the preview for next week's, so I'll just see what that's about. >.> (Can't resist scythes)

-Music is also coming in the spring:

Kate Bush-Nov 21, 2011

Emilie Autumn-late '11-early '12?

Silver Sun Pickups- Spring '12

Epica-March 9, 2012

Now what about YOU, Miss Happy Rhodes?

+LGBT Laughs on Tumblr - Loving this blog.

+Soft owl plushie. Why? I dunno.

-Saw a lovely WolfDog today. It bumped my hand but walked off when it saw I had no food. ): How rude.

+Lastly, have a demon dog.

Dem Sketches

I scribbled. Yup yup.

First, the nice ones. I hate to admit that the only reason these two are decent is because I couldn't think of anything humorous to with the characters. Nothing seemed to "fit." D:

Venus' Sailor Avalerion

Pysi's Sailor Attulae

Then I kind of went stupid. :D

Lissa- Kaleb's pic had the title of "I'm not fluffy." So I made him fluffy by pouring syrup on him with some feathers. YAY!

Kuki- Shinju seems to be an upbeat gal who loves justice. But I think messing up in front of people can deflate an ego quick. >.>

Miles Edgeworth(and Phoenix) for Derrot
When I looked up Ace Attorney, I learned that the guys have weird hair, odd clothes(Miles does anyway), and some fans like seeing them sex each other up. Nope, never played these. :D Miles' collar bothered me though. I thought: "He could fly with that thing." And so he does. Then he becomes a pest. Yep.
Sorry, Tori. 8D No smexiness here!

Jadine- Celi with an Ara voodoo doll. This is OOC for Celi (that grin). Sorry. XD

Pure - Yolanti is snoozing on the job. Hihaye is not pleased.

Momo- This didn't come out right. I think you can kind of tell what's going on, but it's just so jumbled up. 8D I should do a proper Belle picture; she's purdy.

Dubie- Du wanted a Weeping Angel(from Doctor Who). Look that up; I'm not explaining. 8D Then she said to draw it stalking a character who is eating a Snickers bar. Well, I was going to do one of her OCs, but I drew Du instead. (based on her avatar pic I found on dA)
I did this all from memory, as you can probably can tell. 8D Yeah, that's weird Doc and Amy in the last panel.

Sakky- Hooray for bad puns! I totes cheated on this one. The outfit is complicated. And before anyone yells at me about my designs, I have an excuse. I couldn't tell what was going on in the ref. 8D *hide* I want to do a proper picture of Bobbin though, a bigger one so that the detail can be clearer.
I do like the gator. :3

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)

Hidden Camera

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).

Bunch 'o Scribbles

I should call this a scribble blog instead of a sketch blog, since that's all I seem to do these days. >.>

Lots of crap today!

Itty bitties- You can't figure out what these are; only I know. Mwahahaha! These are tiny "thumbs" for bigger pictures I want to do. (Mostly Angel Sanctuary and 12 Kingdoms stuff)

Pristiq- Nothing much, but it's a start.

Cherry/Hellhoney gal and Sophia/Sofya
For Derrot and Jadine. I'm doing bigger pictures, but these are just silly things. (Derpy Sop(fy)hias)

Hell Known as Eden- Idea for a much bigger picture of Alexiel from Angel Sanctuary in her prison, most likely tied to a pillar or wall by vines and wires.

Sailors Asclepius and Sun- Remember those V-Day pics I was drawing? This is just a preview. They're being worked on (really late), but life is "eh" at the moment.

Moroloth and Slayd- For Kristian over at Insect Kings.

Songstress! Kashoku- From A Twist in the Myth. Awkwaaaaaard. But still fun. Which form should I do next? *ponder*

I'll be checking dA later. Projects need to be done and I think a storm is brewing. D:
