Duuuude I love it when you kick me in the face with your awesome.

U no hu u should draw?

Septiiiiiieeee

I really love the color choice on the afro painting. I also love how you do hair. :0

○ Zi: I've got a bunch of free time today, so I probably will draw her. :D! Thank yooou!
○ Jai Tea: Thanks! The original colors were Coke-can red and yellow, but I Ctrl+U'd it to purple, because it was just that bad. XD

Yesssss! Thank me? Thank you!

Kay, now I have some time to comment when I'm not supposed to get back to work in seconds.

The Naomi pic. There WAS one thing you missed: the cloth wrapping. But when I think about it, I can't figure out how that would work, and that aside, she looks better without it.

○ Matt: What wrap are you talking about? D:
○ Zi: You're welcome. I guess. Lol.

I binged out on the webcomic, "Hanna is Not a Boy's Name" this weekend and FINALLY got caught up in it (<3333). The art is amazing, and yeah. I don't really know what that had to do with anything, but here are some sketches. They took like ten minutes each, and they all turned out better than I anticipated, which is always nice. :>

Top: I dunno, he's not a character, just a random guy. Reading all that HiNaBN made me appreciate sideburns, I guess.
Bottom left: Zi's Septi. I LOVE DRAWING NECKS. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND I ALWAYS GET CARRIED AWAYYYYYYYY. I was going to do a neck tutorial just so I could draw a bunch of necks, but I realized no one would probably use it, haha.
Bottom right: WELL. It was supposed to be my character Bram, who is Kéran's half brother. But he ended up looking more hipster/flamboyant than usual, so I'm guessing it's not actually him anymore. >.>



♠ + お ま け !
BONUS TIEEEEEM. My workspace just imploded with all this crap.

I wish I could only use one monitor, but I use the LCD one on the right to do my color-checking when I draw, because the fancier LED one on the left has the crappiest color calibration in the entire world. Hence why the two are fighting for space/my love on my too-small desk. AND MARVEL AT THAT KERR'S JAR OF BLEACH AND THE TINY COTTON BALL BOWL OF ACETONE ON MY DESK. *mad scientist laugh*


Then I dug all of this stuff out of my closet to be sold/actually finished/started. D| The bottom row of diddles are oil paintings I made by using plate transfers (HAAAAATE). Then some of my older stuff, which you've seen. I'm not sure if I've shared my hobo-Abe-Lincoln-cameo-under-a-tree painting yet, though....


ANDANDAND! I CLEANED MY DRAWERS. IT'S INCREDIBLE. (So incredible that I felt inclined to share it, derpderp.)
Top drawer: All the things I plan to/need to customize: some shoes, a hat, and some other things. On the left is an old sumi set and 5 years worth of old lose-leaf drawings under it. The white and the grey shoe are the same kind of shoe, but on the grey one I stripped the white outer coating of the leather off with acetone.
Middle drawer: 4.48972 billion markers for making shoes (there's another bag of them stuffed into the back of the drawer that can't be seen at all in this photo), extra shoelaces, RIT dye, colored pencils, fixative, rice paper, bristle brushes, sponge brushes, templates, acrylic paint, watercolor paint, gesso, pastel pencils, AND A CRAPTON OF LEATHER PAINT (the bottles/half-gallon things in the middle with the red labels).
Bottom drawer: 13 or so sketchbooks from over time. Extra matboard and mat frames I've collected for future use.

I didn't even know I had all this stuff until I went through it all. @_____@" So expect some traditional art soon, perhaps!

I don't have any critiques: I just wanted to say you've got a lot of talent, and I am green. I like some of your kind of surrealistic stuff at the beginning of this post (way back on page 1,) but I also enjoy browsing through some of this newer stuff

1: Your work space needs a bigger desk.
2: How the silly goose do you have all those supplies, can you toss a few my way? Give to the poor.
3: I want your monitors.
4: fffffk you for having all that awesome stuff.
5: Oh, and I like the drawing with the half haircut lol. Gives me an idea.

○ Dragon: Thank you! <333 I miss doing some of that stuff, too, and was planning to do another piece to go with the heart and the brain. I already started on it. :)
○ Gunz: 1. I KNOOOOOW, IT'S RIDICULOUSSSSS. D: Darn LED monitor, made of suck. If it were easily calibrated, I could just dropkick the LCD one your way, because I wouldn't need both.
2. YES. Have some! I didn't even know I had all this stuff, because I never really do anything traditionally, especially at home with my own supplies. Finding all of this stuff makes me want to paint, even though I'm not too good at it.
3. The LED is shiny and crisp and bright, but anything you draw on it will be totally screwed up as fas as colors go. The LCD is pretty fine tuned with colors, but it stretches everything out by 115% on some computers. PICK YOUR POISON, GUNNY.
4. Come move into the spare bedroom and we'll share. <3
5. I wish I could take credit for the design, but she's Zi's character. D: But thank you! And speaking of design, I left the tattoos out because I was planning on coloring or really quick to try out a new method of cell shading (what is this, my fifth method attempt?!), but I ran out of time today. Maybe later this week. :)

I don't get it. Your room looks so spotless (at least at this angle), yet you're finding stuff like you're digging holes lol.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT. My room looks like an institution now with how clean it is, but I threw away four huge trashbabe (lol, awesome typo--trashBAGS) of just crap that was in it. In the process of cleaning it (which took a few days and waaaay too many hours), I tripped over the landslide of stuff on my floor in the morning because I forgot it was there. Now is the first time in about five or so years that I have seen the back wall of my closet. D: It's still kinda weird seeing it so empty. That's where all of my supplies was hanging out before: the labyrinth of my closet. I dragged in another dresser that I got for free and put my clothes in it, and my art supplies in the old one.

MAANNN EVERYTIME YOU DRAW SOMETHING MY HEART SWELLS WITH LOVE BECAUSE YOU ARE SO AWESOME.


I don't have an art drawer. Looks like a good idea. *pales at the thought of tidying my slagheap room*

Lol wow, your workspace DOES need a bigger desk xD

Awesome job on Zizi's character.

Wow your paints are so organized o.o
Maybe if I could do that I wouldn't keep losing my yellow paint, haha.
You did a hobo Abe Lincoln? I need to see that. XD

You are a HUGE inspiriration to me :3
