AN OLDIE FROM TEGAKI; ref was a clay bust of Asta Nielsen.

Anyway, just thought I oughta post to say that if anyone is going to Seishuncon at the end of the month, then you should stop and chat with me! I had slept through registration and never made it through the waiting list, but my pal NEN is super sweet and letting me squat on her space :D

Writing.

Just going to throw this out here… sometimes I write little things, so I made a journal to compile the vignettes that have been scattered across the internet all these years. Not sure why I felt the need to make a completely separate space than this to house them, but I did, so here we are!

It’ll probably be very confusing to read without knowing the backstory behind the characters mentioned, but I’m working on that too via charahub.

If you guys want to read the fruits of my labor, do have a look here: http://misguidedmisanthropy.tumblr.com/

Drew this at my desk today. Obvious inspiration drawn from one of my favorites, Roman Muradov (bluebed). Sigh, if I could only be so great…

Hello friends!  I’m not sure if you guys are the sort to enjoy progress pictures, but I know I am; they fascinate me more than I could probably articulate! Of course, I say this knowing that I am completely horrible at capturing the progress of my own pictures.

HOWEVER! I actually did with the giveaway pic I did last month! Posted above, in case anyone cares to see.

As an aside, if I have any followers who are located in tonights storms in the midwest, or my followers have family/friends in the affected areas, my heart goes out to you/them and I hope things end up ok. Life’s tough.

I’ve been seeing all these pokemon fusion things on my dash recently, and have become convinced that if you put any pokemon with Koffing, it will be amazing. So, like the true bandwagon-hopper I am, I tried a few out until I found one that was truly spectacular.
Magnemite & Koffing = Magnefing, whose hilariously beady cycloptic eye stares at you judgmentally, the heavy breathing from its siphons filling the air with anxious anticipation.
(Ps, you can make your own here!)

This is the commission that kneeknockers received from my giveaway! It’s her dude Claude, who I could gush endlessly about how much I love, but will refrain for the sake of everyone else’s dashboards. (You’re welcome.)
This whole giveaway was extremely fun, and I’ll probably do it again when I reach another milestone!

A Drawing Drawing - a rendering raffle!

Hi friends. I’ve been mostly wallowing in sadness lately, so imagine my surprise when it occured to me today that I am nearing a miniscule milestone of followers.  I kept trying to think of what I should do, if there is something I should do, to celebrate this, and I’ve decided that the raffle-esque drawings I see people doing look like fun!

Here’s the deal:

If you like or reblog (does not matter which) this entry, then you will be entered to win a free full commission of whatever you want (single/multiple characters, fan art, cityscape, dog poop, porn, etc) done traditionally in my watercolor moleskine, which measures about 8.5x5 inches/21x13 cm. Delivery is negotiable - if you’re comfortable with me sending mail to you, then I can do that, or if you only want a hi-res scan, I can do that too. Whatever, I’m easy.

  • Since reblogging multiple times does significantly increase your chances of winning, please try to keep it to a minimum to give whoever else enters a shot. (Though if you’re the only person who has entered, by all means reblog away…)
  • Winner will be picked via a random number generator, which I hope involves a minimum amount of counting for me.
  • Contest is from today, 4/3/13 to… 4/10/13. A week!
  • The winner will be notified via tumblr, but I’ll probably ask for your email to converse about what you want/delivery since tumblr is a rather difficult means of communication. If the winner does not respond to me within three days, then a new winner will be chosen.
  • Depending on what you want, completion will likely take a few weeks, but feel free to pester me for progress shots at any time during the process.
  • I think I’ve covered everything I can think of.
  • I hope I didn’t miss anything.
  • Good luck!

I have a serious problem with lineplay.  I also have a serious problem with incessantly buying sketchbooks.
Sorry for the crappy phone pic.

Here’s that art deco Sailor Moon piece I’ve been yammering on about. The three moons are left uncolored because I hand colored them gold for the print version.

what is this lineplay thing everyone keeps raving about, ill have to look into it D:

It’s kind of like… uh, sims, maybe? You make an avatar and I guess the whole point of the game is to collect gems to buy stuff to decorate your room and feed yourself. (Maybe it’s more like gaia?  I don’t know, I never did gaia.) It’s spawned from this japanese social networking thing called line, so like a phone facebook game, only japanese and super cute. Also only for android/iphone, from what I can figure out!

tl;dr: It wastes time, adorably so.
