Ok, so after long wait, I have several new illustrations to post, as well as tales of more to come.
So this was inspired by an awkward situation at a diner. Don't worry, I won't give you the details.
I saw to unlikely homies talking at a bus stop and I thought it was funny. This isn't them.
Just doodling. This one is a total cop out. Apologies.
So this is a really interesting one I think. I Don't have a whole lot to say about it. These creatures seem to be a recurring phenomenon in some of my drawings lately. I don't know what they are or where they come from yet, but have tended to show up during dreams and hallucinations. They are scary.
Ok, so that's four more on the pile, but it seems that I'm missing a few. In fact, so far I'm only 9 for 22, which depresses me more than anything, so if anybody would care to slap me in the face, and demand that I become inspired, It would be much appreciated. With that said, I should announce that there are indeed illustrations in the works. I have another finished, however, I'd forgotten to scan it. In other words you will see it soon. I have a penciled illustration which is done, and its high time to start coloring it. I don't feel like I have a clear direction with that one, so it may take longer or shorter. Optimistically shorter. I have a pair of shoes that I will soon begin to paint for a certain sister of mine, Hopefully they will fit(I think they will be a smidge too small). In addition to this, I have a few miscellaneous side projects which will likely not make it into the blog. I think for the moment, that will give me plenty to chew on, but I will strongly try to keep focused and get my shit together.
Pieces,
Sigourney.
Ok, so it seems that I haven't posted in five days. That means that I owe this blog 5 more drawings, plus one more for catchup. Currently I have some of them, am working on some, and I'm missing the rest. Despite my being behind, and with exception of the pain in my back, I feel pretty good, simply because I had an interesting last couple of days. For three days I was stranded due to the snow, in what is perhaps one of the most secluded places in tacoma(my parents house). In that time, I constructed a thigh-high sled jump and an igloo, nearly broke my neck/back (from the jump), got frostbite (from the igloo), and drew a 30 or so foot tall alien in the snow of my parents front lawn. All without a change of clothes.
"Oh my back!"

ps. In my next post I will reconcile my drawing situation.
Hokay, I've got a twofer today. Last night was a pretty productive night. I finished an illustration that I'd been working on for the last couple of days, And I decided to practice making textures by painting in photoshop, but It quickly descended into an all out psychedelic wheredidthatcomefrom?.
Dear Hunters,
I don't really know what to say about this one, just that it fell together really quickly towards the end. I feel like I'm finally starting to get comfortable with lighting without reference. I double posted this one, but it still counts as one. Don't worry I'm not cheating.
This one I promise wasn't intended to be this psychedelic. I started out from a macro photo of a rusted out barrel. I was going to practice creating texture by recreating the photograph, but I just started doodling after like half an hour or so. I was having probably too much fun with the circles.
Here's my latest addition to the pile. Its my part of my final for my trees and forests class. Silly Humanities. Anyway, this was my first go at giving painter as serious run. There's a couple issues that I have with the program, but nothing I can't learn to live with. I hope. Something else that I hope is that I will finish this illustration I'm working on, and hopefully get it put up this evening. I think it will turn out well.
Toodles.

to drive through a wall with a tank... I'd have to tell them that I couldn't because its time to go back home to bed. Its really cold out, so sleep is going to be nice once I get home. As for the drawing that I'm supposed to have up, I'm working on it. This whole illustration of the day is something that I'm still getting used to. Anyway, I'm more than half way on it, and its looking really good. I'll be happy post it when its done :D Sleep time.

Edit 12-18-2008: Its snowing like awesome outside! I totally love it. You will most likely hear me a week from now saying how much I hate it. But regardless of that sitch, I've got another.
But I promise I'll catch up.
Anywho, here's my second image of the day. Its a little painting that I did for no other purpose than as a study of the mechanics of light, and as an exploration of this fragmented style that I've been interested in. I did it in a color palette I haven't really tried before. Probably won't do that again intentionally. And forgive me for his left hand.
Ok, so save for a few loose ends, school is done, and I've got high hopes for the coming month. Firstly, I'd like to state that I've got plenty that I want to do; one of them is to actualize my intentions of getting comfortable with, and maintaining this blog on a regular basis. Secondly, what I want to do is keep the drawing/painting coming at a regular pace, which I will keep this blog informed of as I go by having there be an average of one image per day through the break. Gradually I'm going to up the ante, but for the time being, this is it. Its go time!
Here we are, my final assignment in my Illustration in the Market Class. The prompt was to create a poster for a band of our choosing, which I chose a great dubstep artist who goes by Burial. The techniques used were very new to me, and I feel like I did a great deal of experimenting with this image. Its an interesting style. I think I'll explore this more in the future. What do you think?
I can't help but think that the blogger dialogue for attaching images is horrible.
Over and out
