Update: New sketches!

So once again, I post art.  I’m still keeping up with my end of the bargain, getting in sketches for this week.  Three sketches to be exact.  Why a new art so soon?  Well cause I may not have time next week to post anything due to a labor day holiday trip and work, etc.  So I did a triple threat.  Of course sometime the week after I do plan on putting up a new work, but for now this is what you get.

All of these were fun to draw and all I plan on doing something more with in the near future after I play catch up with other coloring projects, so for now these are just sketches that…well I am rather proud of.  Mostly.

UPDATE: NEW ART!

So I think I’ve been doing a decent job keeping up my deal.  Showing off a fanart I created, this time of the beloved and skanky Blair from Soul Eater.  Of course I drew her in my style since I didn’t want to mimic the original artist style (same with the Medusa image in the same gallery) and she ended up looking a bit too much like one of my characters (Misery anyone?), but meh, I can’t draw skinny girls with big boobs (and Blair in the original style is quite skinny compared to my muscular big hip women).  But I think this was a fun try and it’s about time it was colored.

Check it out!

RIP Satoshi Kon

Perhaps you don’t know who Satoshi Kon was…I didn’t know much of him myself.  But I knew of his work, and I knew of the impact he had in not only Japanese animation, but animation and even film.  He was a director who works inspired many of the names that you may know now: Darren Aronofsky, who bought the rights to Perfect Blue in order to be able to adapt frames for his movie Requiem of a Dream.  Chrtistopher Nolan, whose Inception takes hints from Paprika and whom praised Kon.  Kon directed films like the aforementioned Perfect Blue and Paprika, films that have impact on cinema today.

And he passed.  He passed at the age of 47.  From cancer.

I think it was simply to soon.  He had one more movie on the works and perhaps many other ideas swimming in his imagination.  He is one of the influential voices for adult 2D animation.  And he’s gone.  Gone but hopefully never forgotten.

RIP

What do you know, I posted art!

I posted BRAND NEW art, completed tonight, just now.  Not my greatest work and really this was started a while back, but I finally finished it.  I hope that during this week, I finish another completed colored image that will show a bit more effort, but for now this will do.

Note the watermark?  I hate thieves.  I hate ART thieves.  I mean how bloody unimaginative and sadistic do you have to be to steal someone else’s idea.  Someone else’s style.  I’m all for using my art as a reference (hell I do it all the time) but plain or trying to get some artwork and try to pass it off as yours?  I hope your kneecaps get busted for that.  That call for a lobotomy.

But I’ll shut up now.  Hey look PRETTIES! The Dream

Working on that Bug and A Promise

To those with IE 7…I’m still working on that stupid title image bug.  But for the margins, I’m afraid I don’t know what to say.  For some reason, IE 7 see’s CSS margins differently than IE 8 and while I know far more talented and more experienced web designers can fix that, it’s really mind boggling how much of a leap that is.  So while I’ll try to look into the margins (for my own sanity, I’m gonna focus more on getting my title image back up…now everyone on Firefox and IE 8 and other nice and easier to work with browsers…you have nothing to worry about (until you let me know…then I’ll shoot you in the kneecaps and work on THAT bug too).

Now what’s this ‘promise’?  My promise is that once a week I’ll post at least one sketch I drew and every month I’ll post up one fully colored image.  I have to do this to get some fire under my ass and do some actual art again.  I have a photoshop image almost done (just need some background and tweaks and some sketches to put up.  So I’m on the right track.  I’ll also be doing a lot of other stuff in real life (like my job, getting my car the maintenance it needs, etc), but I’ll keep on the right track.
