New thread on /ic/ taking our normal 'roll the dice to figure out what you draw' game with an anatomical twist. First roll got me necks and second lead to arms.

( More parts under cut )

ETA: Oh and if you like documentaries check out this site: http://www.onlinedocumentaries4u.com/
Apparently some people on /ic/ like to draw while listening to them, I did these during one about Jonestown.

Gaang Jr.(+4chan's project about the next generation of Avatar: The Last Airbender) reached it's 34th thread in under a year so in the spirit of rule 34, there's been porn(something that was formerly avoided at all costs). Lots and lots of porn. We even had DS Hina drop in and dirty up our little fanproject. It's been so good that we're now trying to stretch out the thread to prevent it from ending, lol. That said, here's been my contributions thus far...
( Behold my NSFW doodles )

I've been incredibly on edge since getting home. Shouted at everyone at least once within the first few hours of being home. Hung out with Ena & co. yesterday since John leaves for Denmark tomorrow, fair amount of drinking and pie occurred. Spent half of today just out and about since being in the house was driving me mad. Can't seem to get myself to settle down, need to grocery shop but being around people right now seems incredibly unsavory. :|

Pointless post is pointless so have a shoe I started on for an /ic/ meme...

Still in PA, leaving for home tommorrow. A bit excited because in August my cousin will be moving from Thailand to China. Once she's settled in, or after the new year(we're trying to figure what's best), I'll be moving in with her for an unknown period of time(at least 3 months). Never much thought about going to China but I figured I might as well take the chance.

ETA: Lol, after lunch ma mere watched Taken with the boys and is now informing me I'm not allowed to leave the country. Alas I had to remind her that someone with her level of paranoia shouldn't be watching such things and that I'm apparently old enough that she can do nothing more than state her opinion on the matter. XP

Or at least the majority of my family. Heading up to PA tonight for a few days, not sure I'll have internet access(or at least much). Have a lot of stuff to get done today before I leave. It's not costing me anything, cat care aside, but that doesn't make it any less a hassle at the moment. XP

According to karine this will be the last year for Gathering of the Gargoyles. If it wasn't all the way on the other side of the US I'd definitely put in the last minute effort to go... alas, no. *ponders* Maybe if I manage the job I've been trying for by the end of the month(despite going to PA this weekend), especially since the voice actress for Demona will be there... Gah. *checks room rates and begins penny pinching further*

Sleep frustrates me. I mean, I honestly get a little annoyed that I need it in order for my body to function properly. The average amount of sleep someone needs is 6-8 hours. For the sake of things let's say 7. 7 hours every 24 hours. 49 every week. 2555 a year. 53655 by the time you're 21. That's 2235.6 days or 6 out of 21 years of your life(not counting leap years here) that you're asleep and that's not even including the excess slumber of your baby years. Think of all you can do in 6 years and you spent it asleep.

Don't get me wrong, I love dreaming. I love that comforting stillness of the mind. I love the restoration. Yet, I hate that I struggle to wake once I've drifted off. I hate when I have a list of things to do and all my eyelids can do is droop. I hate the things I miss out on when asleep that I have to catch up on later. I hate that after a certain amount of time awake I become a danger to myself, and sometimes those around me, in loosing the ability to make proper choices(can't stay awake? don't drive. that railing you normally jump over instead of walking the rest of the way down the steps? no longer a good idea. that x-acto knife? sharp.).

I once stayed awake for 5 days straight. I got a lot done but I also saw a fair amount of things that weren't really there. I have a tricky relationship with sleep.

Slowpoking here but I'd occasionally wondered before if there was an Oracle figure yet never really checked. Well, sometime last night, I stumbled on my answer.

It's the Birds of Prey Deluxe Set from DC Direct via 2003. Found a pretty good rundown on them. I'd love to see(yet possibly be wary of) a newer version but with the series canceled and DC being screwy with the characters involved, I doubt it would happen.

Introduced Ena to Wonder Woman. It didn't even occur to me before that I'd never talked much about comics with her so when she told me she didn't even know Wonder Woman's basic origin stuff I overloaded her with info and then showed her the animated movie(not the best thing but I hadn't watched it in a bit and she's been watching movies like crazy lately). The opening sequence was hilarious...
"Omg! They're actually fighting and killing and stuff!"
"Yep."
"Did they just talk about sex?! They were talking about sex!"
"Yeah."
"She just cut off his head! I thought this was going to be a little kid's movie! Whoa!"
This is the commentary given by a girl who graduated top of her class and wants to make documentaries for the BBC. Lulz.

Any who she loved it, though now wants to dress me up as Wondy for Halloween. XP

I guess I like how this one came out, still unsure of how I want to do the colors(flats-Monday's, light/whispy, or light/whispy + shading-this) and I need to plump up the faces a little. Any other thoughts?

On a non-drawing note, parkour is fucking kicking my arse. Can't wait until my muscles stop the aching from the added work. Even then I still need to find a really good place to practice(I have some areas around here that I can work on individual moves though I'd love more). If it was fall/winter I'd just go to the beachfront but with this being tourist season there's no chance of that. :(

I intend to be busy, both with artslam(pic related, my concept), life, and training(mixture of taking advantage of nice weather and wanting to give parkour a serious go). Sorry if I comment less because of it. XP

Watch Bob Ross paint.
Srsly, I aspire to be even half as chill and awesome as he is when he paints. It's magical. I mean most of the time he's painting he isn't even using a brush, it's nuts. Blink and suddenly he's add a cluster of trees with a fucking sponge. Maybe part of my hyped up feelings on this are coming from the fact that the chat at the moment is mostly /ic/(and a few others) singing praises of him but the man is seriously fantastic. *watches* Holy shit! He just took a giant brush smothered in dark paint and made a huge tree in the middle of everything. Oh gods, highlights.

I almost regret that I have to stop watching at some point.

ETA: Nooooooo! I close the screen while out to dinner, come back and now the channel is so overloaded I can't watch anymore. *tear* Haha! It's back!

Just got back from seeing Wicked and it was, well, WICKED.
:D

Srsly, it was awesome.

Just found an old VHS tape in my stuff with about two hours worth of Power Ranger episodes from the first season. It was probably my 'favorite show ever' when we lived in Gitmo. *watches* So awesome. I still don't understand why the people of the city didn't kick the Power Rangers out with how often things got destroyed. I mean Rita only sent her monsters there because of them. Speaking of which, much love for Rita. Her and the pink ranger were my favorites. In fact I think my liking of the pink ranger might have been why I started gymnastics, lol. Impressionable four/five year old me was very much impressionable.

I have serious attention span issues.

I honestly can't just work on one thing at once, making everything take longer. Add in that I'm going through yet another 'everything I draw is crap. study practice study. RRAAAARRL.' phase and I'm going a bit nuts. *bangs head against wall a bit*

On another note I found a store near me that sells Ketchup flavored chips. Om nom nom.

The past week has been miserable. All of last weekend was spent on my going nuts and needing to rearrange/clean everything. Once the weekend was up I then spent the week going from sickness/pain to sickness/pain. Everything seems to have had it's turn. Ovaries, head, stomache, heels, knuckles, neck, eyes, and back. Many times things ached so much I got sick. Ugh...

Hopefully that's over with and this weekend will prove productive. In the meantime, have a picspam of my room.
