Things that make me Happy

2009-06-26T01:18:00.002-04:00

In an attempt to promote more positive thinking in the world, I'm drawing inspiration from Gala Darling's "Things I Love Thursdays". Great stuff, I suggest you hop on over there and drool over her blog! Anywho, My list for this week:

Jalamah Burgers
Boogie boarding off the California coast without a wetsuit
Moo.com's Minicards
Sprinkle Donuts
5th Element
Photo manipulations
Cute Retro clothing
Visiting with old friends
Snakebites (the piercing) -Do want.
Smooth Criminal
Carnival Goldfish (I'm thinking of paying the $2 to try and win one tomorrow at the Flower Festival)
Making Cookies from the insta-cookie mix. Not as good as Grandma's, but still yummy!

School is out

2009-05-13T16:25:00.000-04:00

It is summer.
I'm neglecting this blog.

Bleh.
I'll motivate myself some other time =\

2009-04-05T23:37:00.003-04:00

Travis is here.
Life is good.

"You and me are going to be alright;
We're going to shake the ground,
We're going to smash the sky.

Imagine a place
Where dreams lead the way
And all of your colors fade the grey
Imagine the dream
Now close both your eyes
Fall into the violet skies"

Lloth, the Spider Queen

Sorry I haven't posted in pretty much forever. School has been hellish.
Besides all that nonsense, I have been reading R.A. Salvidor's Legend of the Drow series. Dear god, it is amazing. Epic. al;sdjkfalsdkjf
I loves it so much. I don't know how I haven't become obsessed with it sooner in my life. Everything about it.. om nom nom <3

But yes, I drew a pretty picture whilst not doing a project for one of my classes. I'm going to clean it up and submit it to a student art gallery, and hope I winz moniez.

Also. I think I'm going to go to art school. I'm sick of treating it like an unattainable dream just because I don't have the money. I'm going to find a way.

....anybody want to commission me? :D

FINALY!

2009-02-25T15:04:00.002-05:00

My amazingly wonderful new tablet has finally come in! What ended up happening was this:
-We ordered it from Digital Graphics Resources
-They took out the money around 2 weeks after the order was placed
-They never sent us a shipping conformation. My mom called and was all "wtf"?
- They told us not to worry, and it would be sent out soon.
- Two weeks later, we call back. They say it is on its way
-A week later, we call back. They don't answer. This continues for 1-2 more weeks
-We decide we are fed up. Debit card is cancled, fraud is filed, tablet is ordered from amazon.com and shipped (Yesterday)

That is all ok now. Those guys are a bunch of losers, and I have my super awesome new tablet.

WEEE!

Pencil Sketches

2009-02-19T19:17:00.002-05:00

Here are some freebie sketches I did for some lovely people on Mene. Since I don't have my tablet yet, they're in pencil :P

Friggin Tablet

2009-02-03T23:31:00.002-05:00

Wtfx.
My tablet still isn't here. It has been over 3 weeks. 2 Weeks ago they took the money out of my mum's account. WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE?
I'm quite upset about this. Really now, this is one of the biggest objects that I've gotten in years, and I have been waiting way past their time range. Not to mention the fact that I need the wacom tablet pen for one of my CGT classes. Hell, I was even postponing posting here in my sketch blog, because you know, I've only had like 3 posts with sketches in it.

God damn people.

New Haircut!

2009-01-19T00:23:00.003-05:00

Yup, I got a haircut... finally!
Here is an over-photoshooped image for you.

I like it, 'tis nice to have something new. I really needed all my over-bleached hair cut off. Quite badly. My neck is going to be really cold though! Friggin winter having to happen at college.

Ok.. I lie. I love winter. But still, you have to see my point.

BED TIEM NAO.

FRIGGIN EPIC NEWS

2009-01-14T14:01:00.002-05:00

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!
I'm getting a new 9 x 12 Intuos 3 Wacom Tablet!!

SHITTING BRIX RIGHT NAO.

This totally came out of the blue. I'm so excited I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I never dreamed of having this amazing beauty. Wanna hear the story? Sure you do, you're still reading! Ok ok, for my CGT 112 (Technical Sketching) we have to buy the cintiq/intuos pen to use on the Cintiq tablets they have in lab. Well, that is friggin $70 by its self. Sooo, I got to thinking, and pitched my briliant idea to my parents that instead of using that refund check for like... normal things, that I should invest in a new tablet and save a few bucks, because I wanted to replace my old crappy 4-years-of-abuse graphire 4x6 tablet. THEY ACTUALLY WENT FOR IT. FUCK YEAH.

I'm so exicted, I actually promised myself I would find time for the Daily Sketch Group over at Concept Art .Org. Awesome, no? I'm going to build my portfolio and life is going to be awesome :]

2009-01-13T23:45:00.000-05:00

Behold the sexiest man ever!

Yeah, that's right, 'tis my Travis. He's my better half, and I figure I would share a lovely photo of him playing a guitar in guitar center. He does this silly "I'm going to be grumpy when you take my picture" thing. I swear he actually smiles ;]

<333

He makes my life awesome. Almost 2 years now, fooz!!

FUUUCCCKKKK College.

2009-01-12T00:10:00.002-05:00

Yeah you guessed it back, I'm back at school. Sucks major dildos, I'm telling you. I suppose seeing friends again is going to be nice, however I just wish I was still in California. :[

On the flip side, I got my scanner set up, so that means loads more sketches for you all. You all being the total of 0 people who actually read this blog. Comment on this to prove me wrong =\
Doesn't matter though, I do this for fun. Bloggin' is addicting.

I'm going to go to bed now...

I love photoshop

2009-01-04T01:06:00.004-05:00

Here you go folks. Me being a photo-whore.
It was fun taking a break from leveling my warlock, and spitting out this over-photoshopped me. :]

2009!

2009-01-01T03:29:00.003-05:00

Gasp, a new year!
It is so thrilling to be back in California. I've missed this place sooooo much. ALKJdlsjdflasjdf. I just got through with a 2 night camping fest, over just in time to greet the new year! I'm just chilling over at Nick's house, enjoying the usual perks of a week-long LAN. I've started up WoW again, now that school isn't bending me over, and I also have a bit of christmas art to work on (still xD ).
I'm still in love with my new pens. I already want to order a new set! They're so... clean. I've been drawing everything with them, I don't want to work with anything else! On the bright side, I've been putting this obsession to something amusing. I'm drawing "The Crew" in one awesome picture. It shall be epic.

Uh, not sure what else to say. I'm cold and tired. And I can't wait to sleep in a bed.

Christmas Artz?!

2008-12-25T00:11:00.003-05:00

Sooo, even though it is Christmas eve still, I opened presents at my Grandma's house already <3
One of the things I got from my Aunt and Uncle was a set of greyscale inking pens and a sketchbook. Here's what I did while we were all still unwrappin our stuffs :]
Two quick little doodles all in my new pens. Yay <3

Art for Mene

2008-12-22T21:35:00.003-05:00

I finally finished my art for Bunnyy <3
I love her two characters, if she is still interested in my art I want to try to get some more items from her (I got a December '07 set from her for the couple picture).
But dear lord this took freakn' FOREVER. I swear I recolored it over 9000 times. UGH. I still wasn't completely satisfied by it, so I decided to send a chibi sketch with it so I didn't rip her off or anything x.X
Ho hum.

We also had our family christmas this evening. It went well, I got a very nice laptop bag, as well as lots of nice warm clothing! ALL of it is in purple/grey/black as well~<3
I'll post some dorky pics in a wee bit.

It's Good to be Home

2008-12-20T02:04:00.006-05:00

Oh yes, I figure I should mention the fact that I'm home again! I left my looser-slut room mate in the dust, and I'll never see her skanky ass again! Hellz yeah >O
It really is wonderful being home. I was worried I wouldn't be able to make the trip this evening due to the ice storm that decided to happen thursday night. OF COURSE, WEATHER. Just ICE STORM the night before I have to go home. No biggy.
But whateves. I'm now all curled up in my bed, with my kitty laying all over me. Note the picture:

I love little Thor <3
Well, he isn't so little anymore! He's really grown since the last time I've seen him. But that's ok, he still has the heart of a kitten

The Necromancer

2008-12-20T00:37:00.004-05:00

I realized I have this picture chillin on my photobucket. I totally forgot I took it!
The Necromancer and his lover. I think I'm going to redesign his outfit.

Pasties!

2008-12-19T21:41:00.005-05:00

Here's one of my semi-finished pieces. I haven't posted it on DA yet because I need to finish the "background".
Lulz <3

Finals are almost done...

2008-12-17T14:44:00.002-05:00

Only one more left to go! Thank heyzuse that it is only PSY 120. Piece 'o cake. And just for the record, I got a 98 on my term paper! 98!! HELL YEAH! I was/am pumped! Hoo-rah.
I'm also thrilled that I have only 2 days left of living with psycho-bitch. Woot Woot <3

As far as art goes, I'll get those sketches posted within the week. I still have to pack/clean my room before break, and I'm afraid that comes first :[

The first few sketches!

2008-12-14T12:56:00.002-05:00

As of right now, all I have are a few sketches done in photoshop to update with. Once I get un-lazy and/or a scanner, I'll post my pencil sketches (which are infinitely more numerous). But yes, here ye go:

Just a doodle I did when it started snowing for the first time. An ice queen or some sort I suppose

A chibi-esque version of me I guess?

My character from a dead RP, Alyre. I wish it was still going :[

An entry to a contest that I missed the deadline for. I decided to omit the colors since they were rather ugly and unfinished >>

Yay?

2008-12-14T01:51:00.001-05:00

Dead week is over! Yay!
But now I have to worry about finals week.... Ugh.
I'm really quite thrilled that whole hell is done with. I spent today just being a lazy lazy person. It was wonderful. I didn't get up until like... oh say 2-ish? Then I just bumed around with friends all day. Tomorrow I'll see about uploading sketches n stuff for the web to see. And I need to study for the sinking ship that is M221 (Calc for Technology).
DILDOS I SAY.
But whatever. It doesn't make a bit of difference guys, the balls are inert. And there is only 12 days left. Less than 2 weeks!
I'm thrilled :D

First Post- OH SHIT

2008-12-09T20:13:00.002-05:00

Hm, so I've decided it is time for me to start a big of a blog/ sketch blog. It shall be about a week before I can really dedicate much time to this, for it is dead week, after all. Ugh, the joys of college. I have this 15 page research paper for one of my CGT classes that is due friday... yeah, I'm on the second paragraph. GO ME.
Seriously... I detest dead week. That is what I get for having such a project-oriented major.

On the flip side, I've been watching Superjail! The complete insanity of it really makes my life a bit better, and each episode is only 15 min long. Perfect for sneaking in a snack between pages in my paper. Le sigh, I ADORE the Warden. He's so... fantastic.
Linky to the websites!
