i just made an impossible connect the dots game for work. woooo.

did you ever get one of those really complex connect the dots that didn't have numbers and was to make a sailing ship or some crap?

i'm getting to play kataly for like the first time in a week and that makes me all squishy inside.

what else? i don't know. things happen. things don't. oh, i know what i wanted to do. i'll do that later though.

okay, dude, so i did a ton of drawing this weekend of chars from an RP.

addendum: the rp is silver dew

kataly, my character
arija
avery
indrani
ranen
simon

they look really nice; i'm proud and happy.

this one is worth posting:

I Am Loki

Loki is the darkest-natured of all the tricksters and like him, your sense of humor can be morbid, even a bit spiteful at times. You find it wickedly amusing when someone makes a fool of themselves and you're willing to help the process along. Cries of outrage fall on deaf ears - you couldn't care less what the commoners think. And god help anyone who tries to make a fool of you - they'll find out quickly just how nasty you can be!.

Which Trickster are you?

so i've been drawing all the SD chars. they all look really nice except for simon. i've tried drawing simon like 3 taimes and he keeps coming out looking crappy, like kind of waxen or something. grar.

hey, this is an invite to a select group of people. a few friends of mine from DotG are starting up a new message-board based RPG. so far there are five people involved, three of who i know well and who are really good writers (and the fourth someone i know and like but who i don't know as well), and i'm really excited about it. also, unlike DotG, it's set in an original world which means you don't have to have read any particular books in order to join/understand the premise.

i encourage anyone who might be interested to check it out. i would really like to see the sphere of players in this expand beyond just the DotGers on repeat. pass the link along to friends who might be interested as well.

if you are interested, let me know you're applying...i can put in a good word for you.

so, a few nights ago i colored the pic of kataly that is now one of my new user pics, and i was insanely happy with it. i haven't done coloring in aaaaaaages, it takes too long, i usually think, and i drew in b/w for so long that i always tell myself i don't like color (though, ha, if i don't like color, what was i thinking when i did the louise brooks doll, which i guess i should send to dov soon...but i digress, oh but that is why i used parentheses).

i realized i did like color; i loved the way it made k.'s little pencil sketch look like a painting...most people who color analogs do line drawings and then color and shade them entirely in p-shop, which i think i'm inept at, mostly because i don't really cartoon...i became enamored of the way the "paint" looked mixed with pencil, with grayscale shading overlaid on airbrushed color. i loved the way it made kataly's hair and lips and scars look...oh.

so then last night while aiko was talking to everett i drew a pic of him, and then i colored that one too. i'm really digging the colors. it was a nice sketch, but colored...his hair looked freakin' awesome. coloring it in made it go from looking like a nice sketch to looking like a real illustration, an "if i could color an entire scene in this fashion it could amount to something" which is sort of exciting to me.

purchase a decent scanner

better yet, your birthday is less than a month away, tea.

resolution 3.

practice drawing more.

maybe when i get home from work i'll post sketch-ev and colored-ev here just for the purposes of y'all being able to understand what this is doing to me.
