Weekly Illustration #4 - Greedy

... I used WAYYY too many filters on this one to make it look kinda ok LOL

Night of Rest

... and i was drawing all night LOL. I felt like drawing a couple of things for myself, so i drew some sketches, and coloured a picture in.

Ahhhh. i love colouring.



^--Joan of Arc. I always found her story fascinating; young teen girl, hears the voice of god, and takes on the world of men in order to save France. I mean, come on, she's the most kickass woman ever, the person wholly responsible for books with strong female knights.



^--- Naked Indian girl dancing with a scarf... i'm not entirely sure where i was really going with this, other than wanting to colour it. The original version has a redder scarf, but i like this colouring the best.



Randomly, this sketch looked like Cat from class. So then i made it more like her LOL.

Weekly Illustration #3

Agh. I failed at this. I'm sorry Erich, i wanted this to be cool and not half asseddddddd.

Weekly Illustration #2 - Creepy

Is it just me or is seaweed just about the creepiest thing? Ewwwwwwwwww.... felt like slimy fingers as a child.

Wish i took more time with this one. I liked the idea!

(Real) Weekly Illustration # 001- Fast Food Junkie

Yeah. Its almost 3 in the morning. this is the best thing i can think of at the moment. ENJOOYYYYYY.

She sure is.

AGH I AM RETARDED

I FAIL AS A PERSON. Mostly because i continuously get new ideas for the digital animation class that I am in, and I HAVE to finish writing an outline of what i am doing by monday. That leaves me very little time to actually decide on something that isn't excruciatingly hard.

SO HERE'S MY NEW IDEA. I randomly remembered an old nursery rhyme i liked, and it goes like this:

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
But the child who is born on Sabbath Day is bonnie and blithe and good and gay.

At the time, i had NO IDEA what the sabbath day was so LOL at my childhood retardation. I did know the actual connotation of gay, since i was prone to reading little house on the prairie, and they used it as a happy adjective. Same with Little Women (that was on TV. I love that movie. I had a total crush on Laurie as a kid. Still do. Knowing now that it is Christian Bale haha.)

Anyway, i think i might do something with that. Probably in conjunction with my other favourite nursery rhyme.

There was a little girl who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can just imagine that kid running through the pages of a mother goose book, torturing all the pure little children.

Except for wednesday and thursday. Wednesday's emo, and thursday's a little slow.

Anyway, here's a couple sketches of random kids. I like the middle one for a Monday's child.

Weekly Illustration #001 - Davie Street

Davie street is the gay district of Vancouver, and this was our first weekly illustration assigned to us. I really didn't want to do something overtly, stereotypical gay since its not very nice (and its always done this way) So i tried to be a little more subtle?

Also. It often rains on Davie street.

Well, i scrapped my gorgon idea for animation. I still want to do it someday, but there were too many scenes and too much plot to get out in a very short period of time, since i don't think i will have time to do much more than a minute.

I really wanted to do something greek though, mostly because i love mythology and have loved it for so long that it was the safe option to go on. I get rather ADD when it comes to projects that I am working on.

Are these the finals? NO. Are they even close? NOPE. I don't even have much of an idea of whats going to happen, just some general shots i want to do (thinking like a storyboarder, i guess?)

Oh well, i plan to animate my FAV greek mythological story, Hades and Persephone. But its set in modern times and Hades is a ROCK GOD. Why should zues get all the fun when Hades has dudes to chill with like Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix? Cuz you know they are in Hades, living it up with the man.

LOL.

And to clarify, Hades is not synanomous with Hell. Hades is a place where all spirits go, and there are different planes in it, but i think only one that truly wicked people. or animals. go.

LOL. I need to go to bed so i can get to lifedrawing on time.

^--- I have some sketchy ideas for an alternate dimension victorian story, where Debonair Man is a chauvanistic superhero and suffragettes are like, even more hardcore than they already are.



^--- I needed to do a ref sheet for an art trade I'm doing with a girl in hong kong who draws AMAZING anime pics. At least, I love her art LOL.



^--- The creepy imaginary friend image i did for the Art Jumble I'm part of. http://www.artjumble.blogspot.com

Join, its fun!!!!

There should be an art trade blog. That would be KILLER.

*Main char for my new *current* storyline for my short i want to do.

Because i am crazy.

Once i get all the characters figured out, i will start the animatic.



*Main love Interest XD

Story:

Poor little Gorgon is shunned by everyone, mad that all of the other gods are paired up. She goes to see Cupid for help, and Cupid is currently running a dating service called "unloveable" (which is also the title of the short). Cupid shows her all of the success they have had (hades and persephone, Isis and Osiris (one dead, one alive in both cases XD)) and wins over Georgie, the Gorgon.

She goes on a series of absolutely disasterous dates with diffferent gods, like Bacchus (who drank WAY too much and spews all over her shoes) and narcissus, who spends the entire time looking at himself in mirrors.

Finally, she angrily goes to the dating service office, turns cupid to stone, and goes through his files. While she's doing so, a man enters the office, Azrael, a fallen angel and she doesn't have her sunglasses on, and she freaks out because she didn't want to kill him, but he seems to be fine. And he removes his sunglasses, and his eyes are white and he is blind and they live happily ever after.

YES THIS IS FULL OF CUTE SAP. LIKE ME.
