Baaaaaaddd Sketches

( A billion Images Here )

A THOUSAND IMAGES. All of this (and this is not all of it, hilariously) done in the last three months. Currently, I am surviving and paying my bills by drawing 8000 sailor scout OCs. My commissions are always open, and can be found here: http://www.natsubecommissions.blogspot.com

I'm working on a portfolio to see if I can actually get a job. The fact that so many people were willing to pay me money to draw them Sailor Scouts has really um. Bolstered my suffering ego? haha.

The scouts and negaverse agents are all from the shop I run with my hunny, who is SUCH an amazing writer-- the RP is pretty damn fun, right now we're running a huge event thing where EVERYONE IS DYING-- like i think 62 characters are dying lolllll.

ANYWAY I AM HAVING FUN. LOL AT MY ANIMU.

So I'm heading down to APE for the weekend- sort of like an information gathering session, as I am still sort of foggy as to how this whole webcomic business works. I like knowing ALL INFORMATION I CAN before I start anything because I really dont want to mess things up.

Anyone going to be at APE? I'm just going to go for the sunday, otherwise my plane ticket would have been RIDICULOUSLY expensive (flight bookings are odd!)

IF YOU ARE THERE find me because I will have dumb buttons for people because thats how I roll.








I can't remember how to do cuts so I'm just going to harass everyone with my dumb sketches.










So I quit my terrible grocery job at the end of august and SO FAR SO GOOD on the commissions front. PEOPLE ONLINE ARE INSANE I opened a Sailor Moon shop on Gaia at around the same time I quit my old job and its EXPLODED 3/4s of the art i've drawn are Sailor Senshi which is sort of great-- THIS IS WHAT I AM GETTING PAID TO DO. (fanart/OC loophole) If anyone is interested PLEASE DONT BE AFRAID OF THE RIDICULOUS LIST I have finished 8 things in the last four days.

I did some lifedrawing too but since I can't remember how to cut I will not horrify the masses.

SO. My dear LJ friends, I have a project in the works- mostly I have decided that I should probably DO something with the characters rampaging around in my head. Its a little scary putting this together since rather than just continuing this sort of... epic brainstorming session where I continue to change my characters, even the plot at times, I have to actually DECIDE and be firm about my decision. Tammy's been the main character of Wyrding U since time began, so that won't change at all, but this past week has been ripe with character changes and plots being refined.

UM. Although I have really no experience, save for the multiple bad mangas I did in High School (they never went past ten pages!!) I'm going to put together a comic- whether i post it online or not is still negligible as I somewhat can't bear the thought of them not being viable to use in the future. But I think that's just my worrisome nature coming out, and heck, it might just end up on the web. I was going to write it as a book but I'd want to illustrate the entire thing so that's when I went. Hmmm. Comic.

I know I had a question in here somewhere but I seem to have lost it @___@

Anyway, have some char sketches- ignore Rajani's tiger, he is wayyyyyyyyyy too normal looking.

( Some Pictures )

Oh well, here is a question- does anyone have any thoughts to Rajani's profile? She keeps looking like Cro-magnum woman. Which is not exactly the look I'm going for.

Tried the Princess Colouring Book Painted As An Old Master Challenge (lol)- I have never finished a semi-realistic painting (haha, what I mean to say is usually my skin is just base and darks- I don't usually PAINT it) so I am damn proud.

Colour ref/palette comes from this painting by Jean-Baptiste Greuve, a rococo artist (mmm rococo)

I've been up all night working on this beast- and while a lot of my stuff is unfinished I am ungodly proud of my cover.









Lack of sleep had led me to forget about the wonders of layout- need to fix direction of branch on the even page.

I'll take TEN requests for drabbles of any pairing/character from a fandom with which I'm familiar, or an RPG in which I participate. In return, those ten people have to post this in their journals, regardless of their ability level.

I reserve the right to write more than a drabble if you give me a good prompt; you reserve the right not to repost if you don't feel like it.

WELL now i gotta post this too. I haven't written anything recently so this might be a good distraction from feeling OMG END OF THE WORLD like i have been these past few days.

Or you can urge me to draw ridiculous pairings. WHATEVER YOU WANT.

A friends char- i owed her some art from an old commission (and i can just stick her in to my lineup with her permission, huzzah!)



Good lord my scanner is terrible- this is far brighter + with more contrast in RL.

New princess and the frog trailer!!! Looks really cute <3

Two more.

ALSO i am so excited to hear about the new studio in Vancouver. I had random family members calling me at work telling me about it all day lol.

I am enjoying drawing these way too much.

Lololol. Seriously, this happens EVERY TIME. I wait and wait and wait until the final moments and then BAM i draw about 50 times better than before and rock out a portfolio.















Pictures from last week.








Pictures from tonight. LOL WHAT HAPPENED. I'm not complaining just. COULDN'T I HAVE HAD ARTISTIC BREAKTHROUGH LAST MONTH????

Ok. so I'm trying to get in the mood to work on my portfolio- i hate feeling like im in the dulldrums so I thought that perhaps watching some good classics might help.

I HAVE RENTED: Dr. Strangelove, Chinatown, American Graffitti (lol this is in the classics- didn't this come out in the 70s?), and i can't remember what else.

WE SHALL SEE IF THIS WORKS. I am watching Dr. Strangelove. I flee to sketch and watch all at once.

NOT WORK SAFE for there are breasts. A commission i still haven't finished.

Hayyy I drew something tonight.

OK SO THESE ARE THE ONLY OK SKETCHES SO FAR. So much to do, so little time @_@

I see trees of green
Listen when I say
Well she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
this is how it goes

All around me are familiar places
Now I've taken the sign
My heart ticks in beat with
Roxanne

Do not pull down the safety bar
Its only been a week
5am on the bathroom floor
I have sailed the world

I love this rap game
I had him
Swear you would call
She embraced with a smile

You will never learn to stop falling down
All you need is love
She doesn't laugh
Bonfire dot the rolling hillsides

THIS MAKES NO SENSE. *makes a poem from the list she actually listens to, not the main list*

I work at a grocery store; right now, I am sitting in the office trying not to be as upset as I really am.

How can people be so mean? This man was standing in my line (I'm a cashier) and started telling me that he ate a lot of fruit and vegetables. And I answered, "oh, so do I, i love them." and he just looked at me and told me that was how he lost all the weight he needed to do, with a cocked eye at my own impressive girth. He then proceeded to tell me about all you can eat buffets, where he saw girls (15, 18- i guess he was alluding they were my age) with trays absolutely filled with food. And then he gestured how big they were around, and looked over at me again. LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS OVERWEIGHT.

I was pissed off at this point, and let him know that I have a THYROID PROBLEM and i have eating under control at this point (i didn't mention I bust my ass three times a week at the gym). I shouldn't have let him get to me, but how DARE he judge me?

BTW today was a great day up to this point, I found at that my stagnated weight loss is still affected by my low thyroid levels and my meds have been upped, and might have to be upped again (i was thinking it was my fault- not going to the gym enough, should have cut my points more, etc) And then I got the WiFit.

... T_T

I FORGOT that i had drawn these lol.

Oh and have some anime since its all i can draw right now hahah.

Christmas! CHRISTMAS!!! First of all, i live in a small town. A very small, backwards town that has voted conservatively by more than 50% for the last forty years and therefore Merry Christmas is the obvious greeting. Which I love, since I can't abide by all the PC junk since by wishing someone a Merry Christmas I am by no means telling them to stick their menorah up their rear. Merry Gift Giving and Game Playing Day! is probably more akin to what my family does with this season.

So my family ranges from 12 and 49 years of age. And I ended up with the toys and the cartoons and stuff. Haha, i love being a kid.

I'm sorta all revved up again, its a nice feeling. No matter what happens in the fall, I'm probably going to be going back to school (or end up at Disney, lol, i still can dream) I can't afford to move away, so hey, lets get in to more debt but at least I may garner myself a bachelors in something completely unrelated but totally up my alley. For the time being, I think i want to major in english and either history or anthropology (im not sure which one i will like more)

I want to be Milo.

I have lost all drawing skills.

Please help.

BTW my hair was(and still is) falling out and it turns out i have hypothyroidism and an iron deficiency. UNRELATED but about the extent of news from my end of the woods.

I AM ALSO BORING.

Disney portfolio take 2 is due in a week. And this is all I've done.

Dear lord.
