Can't be bothered

Hey guys. No I'm not back. I'm just here to give you a comic strip of us playing DayZ.

I drew this quite some time ago but never had the chance to upload it. I'm also working on another – more detailed and way better-looking – comic strip to upload sometime this weekend. I know I'm really horrible at  keeping up blogging, but I will try.

Also that Korra fancomic just kinda... slipped out of my mind. And now when I think of how I should probably finish it, I think I don't want to finish it. So, sorry fellas. I really am. But there are so many more pressing matters coming up in my life right now, I can't really calm down enough to dutifully finish this comic. 

These other comic strips though are pretty relaxing, because the story doesn't drag along for pages.

Sad stuff

Art-trade

My new friend, Stalkercat, and I had a minor art-trade. She drew me an adorable Pabu and Bolin and I drew, in exchange, some bad-ass Tenzin moves. Even though I'm not quite satisfied with this one. But you can't always be fully satisfied with yourself. Right?

Art Block

I was still suffering from that fierce art block until last afternoon, until I started drawing another page for my comic. :D Yay!

Anyways, I'll post these sketches anyway so I can be embarrassed and will hopefully never ever produce crap like this anymore in the nearby future.

I always thought, though, that Bolins face is really hard to draw. How to make one look buff/strong and also cute and I'd-never-kill-a-fly at the same time?

Day 6 - BED

Failed comic-style fav book doodle -

"The girl who circumnavigated Fairyland in a ship of her own making"

Yes, it's a long title.

Day 5 - Starting to lose it

I'm writing this in the middle of a drawing block in it's puberty. It's going to get a lot worse now and doors will be shut down noisily in heated arguments with myself. 

Day 5 - My best friend Lydia (even though it doesn't look like her, and yes, she is that hot 8D)

 Meh. I like to curl up in my bed and don't do anything. Thats really relaxing. This summer is a waste of time. D: I'm FREEZING.

Drawing Video

Yay, I finally have the promised video of how I draw the Holy Koi picture! 8 long hours of drawing and editing were squeezed into 5 short minutes for this. (credits to my boyfriend Robert for mixing it together <3)


Note: How I added the main texture, that stretches over the entire drawing, isn't shown in the video. I wanted to spare you the flickering of me trying out various kinds of texture overlay effects.

I might change it with a video of better quality later on, but I wanted to add this before I go sleep, so you'll have to deal with the 480p version for now.


Today's challenge: My favourite place

And we all know where that is. (and where I am going to hop into in a minute)

Started drawing it on Tegakie.com; then, getting frustrated with the limitations of the color pallete, and ending up fixing major mistakes and finishing it in Photoshop. 

Gosh, how I hate that there is no "pick color" on Tegakie. I always forget which color I used. I use half the time I sketch stuff there, for finding out which color I used for which part of the sketch, and which transparency it had, etc. etc.

I'm very un-stealthy.

I played Assassins Creed today on my boyfriends PC while he was constructing parts for his Quad-Copter project with his little friends. I guess they had some kind of playdate! And I was this close to going crazy, due to really hard missions, where one mustn't be detected whilst approaching the target.
Gosh, that took so long to finish. But now I have the Altair Armor, and I'm looking very attractive with it on. Well, Ezio does.

Anyway, since we've gotten incredibly early off of vocational school (10 am), I could manage to finish another page (the sixth one!) of Polar Night. And I even went to work to scan it on the fabulous scanner they have there! Oh, I'm awesome.
Well I'll try and shade the page tomorrow, and upload it with the video I recorded of how I drew the "Koi Korra" picture. So stay put for that.

Todays challenge: Draw your favourite food. I did it on Roberts iPad, using the App "Paper", so you can't really see what its supposed to be, because of the sketchyness. (Also because I am incredibly bad at drawing food and actually making it look like the food it's supposed to be.)

It's supposed to be curry rice with peas, peppers, corn, onions, various other vegetables, and scrambled eggs.

Labra-doodle

Today's challenge was drawing my fav animal. The choice was easy and most obvious.

Rainbow-Kittens.

No. The ACTUAL challenge today was finishing this &%(§/$* fifth page.

Damn, it is getting harder and harder to keep on drawing in a regular pace. But it's worth it. At least I tell myself that when I'd rather watch The Big Bang Theory all evening instead.

It's nice imagining to have a finished comic soon, though. So I shall keep going. Even if it kills me. ;~; And my sex life.

But I don't mourn the latter. x3

30 Day Challenge

I find myself in delightful pChat sessions with some rather talented new friend: Stlkrct

It was so much fun that I stayed up until 1 am (now) and decided to take on a drawing challenge with her as my motivational partner! (because without one, I'd just not do something like that)

This is the challenge:

And this is the Day 1 pChat doodle:

This is supposed to be me, but you and me both know very well, this is SO not looking like me. Where's the chubby fat, where the greasy hair and where are the glasses?! (At least the dark circles around the eyes are accurate!)

Well I'ma tell ya. I lost some weight, I SHOWERED and I wear contactlenses! HAH. Whatcha gonna do 'bout it now?

Boy, this orange juice must have had alcohol in it.

Hey, but as a sober side note, I forced myself to finish that fifth comic page today! You know what that means; tomorrow I'll force myself to even SHADE it and then upload it for you! Yay me!

Mako is a real hotty.

Always with the lame puns.

Stayed up late, AGAIN. To draw this hot piece of junk:

I guess I'm on a drawing roll. <3 I like the Korra fandom. it's sooooooooo motivating.

Zzz. sleeeeeeeeeep. /want ;_;

Fancomic Update

I just realized I haven't blogged this yet. :D It's late, so I shall go to bed! I'm so sleepy all day, but as soon as I get home - cleaning, drawing, blogging, chatting. Lol. I feel not sleepy at all. Scumbag body. :C

Page 2 and 3 of Polar Night

Oh and some nice song I'm currently listening to.

Video WIP

There will be a video. And there will be a finished version of this, COMING SOON. :D

Polar Night

Geez, I've wanted to blog something all week and kept getting distracted. From, you know, going running because of feeling guilty from eating too much. And drawing. And watching Big Bang Theory. Busy week. However, in the time of the week that I drew, I managed to color one sketch which turned out to become the cover of my new Korra fancomic which I plan to draw.

Here the sketches that I drew in my sketchbook while I was at school:

Okay now behold, the edited version!

It's kinda not very spectacular, but it works.

I would post the finished pages (shading and speechbubble-wise) but I kinda left them on my work PC. I'm a naughty one, coloring stuff while I'm at work. Te he he he. Deal with it.

But tomorrow! Promised.

Fangirling

I just downloaded the season finale of The Legend of Korra! I just wanted to upload this before I am occupied for the next hour. It's a badass pic for Ben, my soon-to-be fangirling partner! :D

The rest is just sketchbook stuff I had to take with my camera instead of with the fine office scanner. :< Maybe you like it anyway?

Off to watch Korra! Whooo joy

Being poor is the new diet.

I would rather buy plants and fish for my aquariums than being well-fed throughout the month. The only thing that holds me back is that I know that I will whine about not having enough money when my boyfriend hears it. And that he'll give me his "Are you fucking kidding me?" look. :D "Deeeeear... you spent all your money on aquarium stuff."

Buhuhu, but I LIKE spending all my money. :(

I hate being an adult where you have to pay for bills in the end of the month. And where you have to keep track of your contracts.

Damn you internet-marketing, for making me believe that everything that your company says is true! You're just too convincing, with your nice graphic designs and your blending effects. Robert isn't at all that easily convinced. He went to look for a new electricity provider right after I whimpered about how my new one isn't at all as cheap as it seemed to be, when I received their contract confirmation.

Anyway, because of that "accident" I have to pay 70 Euros in the end of this month. (they scheduled the bill for 30 June. Awesome guys, reaaally awesome. Usually I have about 50 € left in the end of a month, you fuckers. Now I have to live off of bread and butter to pay your fucking bill, if I want to spend some money on my aquarium-hobby.)

And no, I have not complained enough yet. I had my (oral) English exam on Monday and I got out with 83 %. Meh. If I just had noticed the backside of that dialogue sheet a bit earlier. Then I hadn't have to improvise the rest of the sheet and the discussion. But what's done is done. I just hope the written exam goes a bit better.

Jonas texted me that he'll be back to school after the summer break. But he still didn't tell me why he was absent in the first place. Fucker.

Hadn't have much motivation to draw in school on friday. But I doodled some half-naked Korra stuff. (I was so close to drawing porn actually, but I was too lazy) Still frustrated about how no one of my friends knows the series and actually likes it enough to discuss about it. There's so much I want to rant about, and so many things which are interesting in more than one aspect. /sob. forever a fangirl.

 

Sketch Dump

I love my office scanner. No, really.

These are all from Friday and Monday, when I was sitting in school, all bored. Jonas was sick – AGAIN. So no one to talk to. I spent literally 2/3 of the whole school day sketching or daydreaming. Or both.

Well I've been interrupted now and then, because we had like three tests on Monday alone. Ugh. But whatevs. 

Quickly serving the needs of those grade-greedy teachers and back to drawing nonsense.

I feel my grades already getting worse though. It's mostly because when Jonas isn't around, he can't be a bad influence on me. (He really sucks in school) And thus I won't get the urge to not let myself get sucked into his bad influences, thus, I will get worse in school, because I don't try anymore.

Meh. It's not like my grades are horrible (yet).

Prepare yourself for 16 scans. Lol, I really rushed the last ones though. I wanna fill this stupid sketchbook.

This bitch is gonna conspire something with the Equalists later on, I'm sure. The way she jelly'd about Korra and Mako was too obvious.

And I love Chi Blockers. Their outfit is awesome. :D *drawdraw*

The last picture shows the scythian, the heroine, of the game "Sword and Sworcery" included in the Humble Bundle. It's a set of games you *can* donate for. The games are really awesome. Such as "Limbo" and the Sword and Sworcery Game. Haven't really tried the other games out yet but I'm sure they're just as good.

Anyways, in the game you have some kinda pixel figure. I've tried to draw it in a rather realistic style. I liked the game, I liked my heroine. Finished the game yesterday and I'm sad it's over. :<
