Monkey/Stone

Messy messy, but I'm trying to complete these quickly. I think Tiger/Earth will be more simplistic (here's to hoping).

Stone/Monkey was influenced by the story of Sun Wu-Kong (Wu-Kung/Wukong/etc.) from The Journey to the West. He was born from a stone egg on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. Wikipedia actually has a good summary.

And have a puppy dog:

Keep Calm and Play With Pastel Dust

 Camera was acting odd so these aren't the best photos. >.> (excuses excuses) I'll be getting rid of those borders; I just need them to hold onto so that I don't smear anything when I'm holding the paper. (Must find spray for these)

Water/Dragon

Fire/Foo Dog

Wood WIP-Qilin/Kirin

How am I going to complete this stuff before Tuesday? D:

Old Junk

These are from last semester, except for the last one. 8D Just now posting them. Shame shame.

Tripping/falling Homura- part of a comic panel for the DW/PMMM crossover, which is definitely on hiatus until at least May. I also have another DW story kicking around which involves that universe's Death (I blame the audio books and dramas, and my love for all things Grimmy).
On a random DW note, it appears that Mister Master(master of the universe, not counting, bahahaha!...Sorry, the poor dear screwed up.) has a Twitter account now. Some of the people I follow jizzed their pants at the news, I believe.

For the final in Figgy 2, we had to put clothes on three of our figures (on tracing paper taped on top of said figures). They were fun.

Here's my "nocturnal scene" for the class too. Meh. >.> (Ghosts in closets-oh boy, oh boy.)

Since I had to drop out of Painting/Drawing research the last time, I'm redoing the class now (don't ask). For my first series, I'm referencing Jimmy Wright and doing pastel abstracts of Chinese creatures(some real, some not) and plant life, with elemental influences. (If that makes sense) The first WIP is a dragon, with a Qilin/Kirin, tiger, crane, and Foo dog to follow. (Dunno what the sixth will be)

I'll put up my first Figgy painting too, when I bring it home. The professor says I mix color well. Yay? >.> (Not too fond of painting, honestly)

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
No new music at the moment, since I've been listening to audio books mainly (The Hunger Games, etc.)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
And Derrot has posted three entries this past week. I need to read those (how did I miss 'em? I follow too many blogs, AGH!)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
Aaaaaaaand, loving the new Sherlock series. <3 More please?

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

Series WIP

So, I'm doing a six-piece series for my Drawing/Painting Research class. I've chosen to do something relating to my Grim series. It's not an official part of it, but I wanted to stay small since I'm on a time limit.
I'm using this as an excuse to study animals and skeletons too. Each animal is a symbol of Death in some way: Horse, Owl, Crow, Snake, and I'm still debating the other two (I have a list to choose from). I was going to take some elements from Susan Seddon Boulet, but the professor wasn't too crazy about it (she said the art was too much like "illustration"). So the backgrounds are staying blank for now until I figure something out.
I was a bit miffed about her comments on Boulet, but I still can appreciate her blunt honesty. She told me that she knew I could draw since I had two certain professors for Drawing I/II and Figgy Drawing and she basically forced me to sketch/gesture quickly this morning. I do have to admit that without her poking me, I'd probably still be stuck on lines. ^^; So, yay?
I've only worked on the horse, and it's not done, but it's coming out okay.

And this is just something from Figgy Drawing 2 yesterday. Her shoulder's a bit broad, but I still like it. :3

Underpaintings!

Wow, looks as if I've been slacking. I've been drawing, but scanning is slow (V-Day stuff is still in the works, loves).
I've been productive, however. It has been mainly for class, but hey, it's still a "product."

For homework, we're supposed to pick an object, animate or inanimate, that has special meaning to us, and form something similar to a triptych. I chose my dog(s) because animals are awesome.
These are all 18x24. The third one will have little photos of dogs who have passed on; I just haven't sketched them out yet. XD And that dog bowl will have flowers in it, like a memorial.
Forgive the sucky camera pictures. You may not be able to tell what's what. D:

 
TIME TO SCREW 'EM UP! Woot!

If y'all are interested in some of my other paintings, I can post those too. >.> They're not very good because I just haven't been successful with the medium.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand a little sketch (from my dA scraps) of my Puella Magi OCs. Very much a WIP:
