ART! ART! ART!

Sprained ankle ;-;

2009-07-27T12:32:00.004-05:00

I sprained my ankle at my friend's circus-party-thing, but not from anything cool like falling off a tightrope or something. I was going to work on the painting today too, BUTNO.

Although I did finish that commission that was on the last post:

I'm pretty happy with it, in terms of technique in digital painting but the pose / composition could be helped. A lot. :| Oh well, I'm sure the next one will be better, maybe.

My birthday is coming up, which is super exciting. We're going out to eat at a fun restaurant tomorrow and it will be nice :D Maybe I'll take my camera or something.

Sorry for not having a more useful update! Hopefully I'll do something decent by teh next post!

SIGH

2009-07-08T23:26:00.002-05:00

Sorry bros, I don't have anything to really show you guys. 8c I've been working on art like crazy and taking a LOT of pictures, but I don't actually have anything on my computer. Next post will probably include decent things. I do have this though.

Part of a commission I'm working on. Slowly ;-;
BUT ANYWAYS. Let's talk of something else for once. For the first time, really, I'm feeling the effects of the recession. It's really quite hard to get a job. :c I do have an interview this Monday for this restaurant, but the manager said I'd only work like 3-4 times a month, which doesn't yield too much money. And even worse is that there are just so many things I'd like to buy ;-; Like these shoes.

They look a lot like this pair of Ann Demeulemeester shoes :U BUT THAT'S OKAY I'm cheap and they're way cheaper than the real thing. ;-; I'll probably just wait for them to go on sale, if they do. OH and there's also this pair of shoes, by the chickychick who does Sea of Shoes (the pair on the right):

I desire these so badly, but unfortunately I really can't wear heels ;-; I'd probably just barely be able to wear the Free People shoes. I could go on and list the 50-billion pairs of shoes that I'd like too but that would take up tooooo much space.

Aaaand that's all I can think of 8c I'm in Colorado now, breathing the thin mountain air. I took lots of pictures up here though, and I'll post the good ones c:

St. Lucia!

2009-06-16T12:37:00.003-05:00

Young travelers! I'm heading off to St. Lucia in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, so I won't have any blog posts for a couple weeks (not that I had any in the past couple weeks anyways dohoho). To be quite honest, I haven't done much art since the last post, although I've gotten the lines on the wood board for the painting. I've got some commissions to work on over vacation, so hopefully I'll at least have some sketches by the time I get back :U

I drew this during the ACT @w@ I really like the face; I might finish this on Photoshop.

Did the hair, piercings, etc.

Summer!

2009-06-06T20:25:00.006-05:00

Summer is officially here! I'm all done with my junior year, with straight A's for the semester! I'm so proud of myself. c: And even cooler, my dad bought me a super Nikon DSLR to use for my art class this year, so I've been playing with it. I used it to take pictures of some food pornnnn

Aren't the pikachu sprinkles just precious? And plus, they were super tasty. Also, because I had to turn in something for my 'final project' for art, I cropped half the Party picture and made it look done (for now!). His arm is a little awkward like this, since he was originally holding hands with someone but oh wells.

I think it's pretty cute, but I'll definitely finish it, with all 4 people! I'm also going to be making a painting for my cousin's wedding, similar to the eskimo girl one, so here's the concept sketch/colors for thattt.

The head is definitely too big, but that will be fixed in the actual painting. I slapped on some random wood texture only because it'll be painted on wood :P I'm pretty excited to get that started though!

Updates, updates.

2009-05-24T18:53:00.004-05:00

I had a couple art shows this week: one at school, and one (I guess) at a friend's house. It was pretty bomb, gotta say. I got to draw on people! c: Dad and I also have a private studio space thing at Terra Incognito in Oak Park, which is really exciting. I hope to do some more sculpting and stuffffs. Oh, I forgot to post the head I sculpted and painted on...

I thought I posted that, derp. 8c Oh, and here's the last of my AP portfolio pictures, which was ruined by the stupid resin >:C

Oh, and the main reason I was going to post. Update on the PARTAYY picture I've been working on.

I'm pretty happy with it so far, especially with the hair. Now to work on the next person! :D

Yyyeaaaa, school was eating up my time, between AP tests (ugh), my audition for the youth orchestra (double ugh) and such. At least I'm done! I feel so free haha. I'm currently on a quest for a job, among other things. ooh wait

Quest List
- Job, for monies
- New tablet, since this one is dying & it's tiny
- Bassoon that's decent, but relatively cheap
- Clothes, since my fashion sense sucks
- Boyfriend, as usual :c
- A clean room!
- A pair of oxfords! What gorgeous shoes!
- A digital camera of some sort

Okay sweet, I've been meaning to get that written down. Anyways, here's some arts that I've done.

As you can see, I've been doing a lot of pen work lately. I attempted some fashionish drawings too, but i might redo them because the faces and the anatomy is dumb.

ACen 2009, Sketches, etc etc

2009-04-26T14:11:00.011-05:00

uuugh school takes up so much time. I'm nearly done with all of my AP stuffs, and I'm still working on ACen craps (badges, sell-able pictures, etc etc). Here's what I got so far~

I probably should be doing homework BUT

2009-03-29T23:37:00.005-05:00

I'm posting on the blogblog instead. Spring break is done with, and I still don't have all of my homework done. I had barely any time anyways; if I wasn't visiting colleges (which was quite fun, btw) I was sleeping. College visiting is so tiring! In other new though, I finished my piece that I've been working on over break:

The scan is DREADFUL and I really should buy a proper scanner, but I'll just try and make a better scan tomorrow when I have time. Anyways, I kinda just wanted to draw something creepy, and I hadn't done anything japanese for my concentration yet (which is, btw, "inspired by various cultures") and so this happened.

UH. Geisha, sexytime, killing time, slicey-dicey? I really don't know. I just like it so shhh.

PS I'll add nipples eventually because my mother keeps bothering me about it >:C >:C >:C i'm just lazy.

A painting, a drawing, and Science Olympiad!

2009-03-17T18:02:00.003-05:00

I've been crazy busy these past couple of weeks. It's the end of the quarter, so the teachers are piling on the homework. At least Spring Break is in a couple days c: This past Saturday was Science Olympiad, and Coleen and I got 4th place for Herpetology! Especially since I only had the topic for a week, I'm pretty pleased with myself. Solo contest was the week before, and that went pretty well. That modern song was a beast but whatever.

I finished a painting today, and within a month! I'm so happy :D I'm pretty pleased with it.

Two of my characters (who happen to be brother and sister), chilling.

A painting for school, of an eskimo girl and her polar bear. Inspired by Lindsay Campbell and Audrey Kawasaki

Sketch Dump!

2009-02-19T20:14:00.005-06:00

Nothing really new, except for some drawings! c: I swear I'll upload my painting and drawing soon!

I kinda just wanted to draw something missing his lower jaw. :|

Sick, sick

2009-02-02T22:47:00.008-06:00

God this sucks. I've been sick since Wednesday and I just feel so uugghghg. I've produced 1 piece of art for AP since the last post, but it's in the art show that I'm currently in (along with many of the pieces in the last post). I've got a couple things that I'm working on for myself though.

Collaboration with my friend Gina. I'm only doing the colors; she did the sketch.

Ref for my character Moki.

Characters and such. I think there's a little doodle contemplating my concentration somewhere.

OH JEEZ

2008-12-19T00:17:00.004-06:00

It's been ages. 8C I haven't drawn anything of worth except the crap I've done in my AP Studio class but that shit's not that great anyways.

First possshhhhtt

2008-08-07T19:16:00.001-05:00

I think having art blog would be pretty sweet, especially since I don't upload sketches like at all. xD I don't know if anyone will look here but whatevs. Here's some stuff. c:

I always forget about how much I like Mari, but yea. Reworking an old pic of his, and made a ref.
