hey, it's working! :D

so i'll just upload a few random sketches before it dies again. sorry, nothing really good. i'm in the process of being kicked out of my room - trying to shuffle stuff around so it won't get thrown away by the fuwuyuans while i'm traveling. i'll be home by august 23!

gurgi after back reduction surgery

thoughts anyone?

attempt #1: gurgi

so for anyone who has read the chronicles of prydain, this is my attempt to draw gurgi, the part human part animal creature thing. i've always had trouble picturing what i wanted him to look like. here i decided to go with a sort of gremlin look with an overly large ET head :P i actually like his overall construction - however, i do need to find a model for next time to get the lighting on the body correct - i'm not doing so well faking that. sad day.

anyway i chose this pose as the quintessential gurgi, because he is always worried about people hurting his "poor tender head."

hi everybody~
well, another week has passed and i haven't drawn a thing :( i am, in that sense, a failure. however, i have applied to participate in a language competition - which could be really fun or really bad XD i feel kind of like i have split personality issues, as i fluctuate between being completely calm and having panic attacks at the thought of crashing and burning in front of a large group of people (people who will be JUDGING ME...dun dun dunnnn). maybe my personalities are fighting - i hope the calm one punches the pansy one's lights out and takes over on the day of the contest. that being said, i don't do well under high pressure, performance situations. which is why i enjoy art - you can't get stage fright drawing a picture. unless people are staring over your shoulder, which i don't do well with either....

here is another old pic from the washu days. it's a smiling, eyeless creature thing. his name is fitzwilliam.

happy (late) easter, one and all~
had a really good day yesterday :) easter service, potluck with some friends...good times good times. we have another holiday today (called "tomb sweeping day" - according to my limited, western knowledge it's some kind of remembering/honoring ancestors day). so no class XD need to get to a cafe and study some more though...

...so i'm gonna be a bum and post another old sketch :P it's kind of bunny-like, fits the occasion i suppose - although what rabbits have to do with easter i have no idea.

more old stuff

sorry guys, been too tired/busy to draw stuff lately, so i'm gonna post another old one. not that you would be able to really tell, since it's just another sketch in my textbook like all my other sketches in textbooks :P but you know what? i want to be honest! so here it goes - i haven't drawn anything new recently and this is an old sketch! there :P

as you can probably surmise, this was another reaction to watching "where the wild things are" meditation piece. by "meditation" i actually mean...i was thinking about the movie in class and drew monsters ^_^ monsters that actually look nothing like monsters in the movie. actually, they look kind of like muppets, which is okay too because i like muppets.

oh man, i'm rambling today. need to go outside and study some - it's finally getting warmer! oh joyous day!

sketchbook: speaking class notes

hullo hullo!
well, it looks like it is cute animal day (i guess most days are like that - i'll try to mix it up with some monster/people drawings :P) as you can see, i was trying to stay awake in my speaking class (give me a break - the classes are so earrrrrrrly) i must have been in a good mood or something when i drew that happy llama though. my poor, earless gorilla-bear is another matter - don't remember what my teacher said right then to make me feel like that :P j/k - my teachers were all fantabulous. on another note, my roommate finally heard back from her parents! :)
