I have some sort of outrageous cold/flu because I totally lack an immune system, but oh well. Picked up Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain at the library and am slowly making my way through it. If it helps me out with stuff, that'd be pretty sweet. :V
Anyway, found and old picture I'll.. probably never finish. Excuse the dong/murry purries. I opened it up and did a number on it in photoshop, and despite the partial inks, I actually really like it like this. I had Fields of Gold stuck in my head the while time I was shoopin' it.
Yellow is actually one of my favorite colors. It's a crime that I use it so rarely. >:( I like buttery yellow, though, not eyerape yellow.
And work on the blog continues on, slowly but surely. I can't wait until I can start linking it out and get imput and critique. Every art site I've ever been on, every single person is critique phobic, which is.. stupid. But then, I actually like trying to improve.

Love is not a victory march
So today. Today I really woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and my internet's all busted up, making working on this layout insanely frustrating. Got the shoutbox and shit like that in, which should be fun and useful for anyone too lazy to comment directly on the entries themselves.. Assuming anyone is inclined to comment at all. The woes of blogspot.
Had three eggs and as many pieces of bread for breakfast, tea, and watched some Olympic hilarity. Seriously, Canada.. How do you LOSE AT HOCKEY? Well, you're losing at everything. Like always.
And now I'm working on the header image, then it's on to the profile images, which are.. currently ugly placeholders. Here, have an unfinished AJELL head (my android character)
Note to Ash: Try to keep the labels consistent so we don't have a giant cloud of them at the bottom of the page. I looooves you.

Blog overhaul, and sum sketchums.

I like working on layouts, I really do. However, I hate dealing with code and html. Oh well. I've managed to smash Rounders into a 3 column layout, making this blog more like a website for Ash and I rather than just a dumping ground, which is nice. I hope pinkhead appreciates it.
I'm going to try to customize it further, because I'm a perfectionist and I won't he happy until it looks just right. Again, I hope Ash likes what I come up with. I'm definitely no web designer, it's frustrating but fun. Anyway, have a sketch I'm working on. FUCK CLOTHING FOLDS. They are my weakest link.
The character is Esau, the product of Ulisse and Simon's combined genetics. What a tragedy. I'll be coloring him at some point because I don't have a single proper image of him. The character Simon belongs to Ash, the other two mentioned are mine.
Oh, and have a progressive sketch of Jasper full of facial anatomical fail, just because.
I seem to do this bizarre sculpt method of sketching, constantly reshaping things. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing.
