Day 97

It's 1:42am and im sitting in here by myself again (henry's last night of overnights) and i finished the line drawing of this:

I think im gonna take my time filling it in tomorrow, and possibly fix the beak, im not diggin it now, but that's todays :)

Day 96: back on track

So henry's been working overnights, and i've had to sleep alone. i don't like it. so i made this for tonight because i was missing him:

the break: day 91-95

So i finally fell off the wagon. it got close a couple times, but i officially didn't create anything from last friday to today. heres why:

friday, we went to sam's house to finalize "moving in" stuff. met up with her dad and step mom, talked, hung out, came home...then i get a call that sam's dude pushed her down and she was scared he was coming back, so we raced over there and spent the night. saw a movie, hung out, got no sleep, started to get a migraine...then comes saturday

saturday: i took a dissolving tab for a migraine that sam gave me, DIDN'T work. i was dizzy and sick ALL day. couldn't sit up without then throwing up, thought we were gonna have to make an ER run, but i ended up getting over it (12 hours after the initial dose) didn't get home till 2 in the morning.

then sunday: as i was still kinda sick, i didnt feel like doing anything, but we had to inform my parents of the official move. after that goes smoothly, my mom informs me the cat has been peeing blood for 2 days (while i was gone :( )

monday: spent the whole day sad and crying, knowing this would be the last day i had with my cat. gave him a good brushing (of course all the fleas are gone now), fed him fancy things, let him sleep all over me.

this morning, i woke up and carried him to the vet, didn't let him go until they were injecting the shit. i held him as he left me...

im so sad that i lost my little guy. i watched him be born, i helped him when he broke himself as a kitten and was in different casts for weeks on end. i spoiled him, i dressed him up, i played with him, i loved him...he was the best cat.

i can't believe i had him for almost 18 years. i was 7 when i got his mom, she gave birth to them within 6 months of getting her, and he outlived them all: mom, brother, our dog. he was the sweetest, snuggliest, best cat ever, and im so sad hes gone. this small house suddenly seems big and empty without him around...

ill try and pick things up again tomorrow...

Day 90

So i decided i need to practice my simple lines a little more, so i decided to try my hand at a maneki neko or lucky cat :) and here's what i came up with for today:

i think i've gotten better if i do say so myself. i started on the head and then the body, then the details, and the more i did, the better it got, ergo- the head is kinda wobble and the details look much better...

i think im either gonna fuck with this one a little more tomorrow, add things to it, OR im gonna do another cat entirely, just so i can work on the pen tool some more. im impressing myself!

day 89

made a hello kitty with the pen tool, mainly to practice curves n shit...i need to get better at simple designs, for whatever reason, smaller, more complicated lines are way easier....

eighty8

we were supposed to hang out at my friends house, but she got sick. since we were in the neighborhood we stopped by Signal Hill and happened to come across the most epic bubble maker in the world. apparently the shit is a concentrate that has to sit for a couple days before you can use it, and obviously is works cuz the bubbles were HUGE! i think it was a tad too windy for them, but they blew down the hill perfectly and ended up generating a whole crowd of people!

so i took a few photos:

and on the 87th day:

Audrey was finished:

ta-da!

eight and six

im gonna post this now, cuz im really trying to stay on top of shit. and cuz im borderline drunk and want to get this on here before i fuck it up (and its really taking me a while to type this, without deleting a bunch) heres what i have so far:

its audrey from Funny Face, my fave :)...my dude tries to say that i look like her but i think im very from it :)

did a little more before bed, ill attempt to shade and finish her tomorrow. Yay for line art! (and getting better!)

day 85: all done :)

i posted yesterday of what i started to make, and today i finished it :)

day 84

this is only sort of done, i started it late tonight and im not gonna finish before i go to bed, so ill screen shot my progress for today:

im making a "line drawing" again, but this time with the skills i learned on the previous one being put onto one of my own photos :)

so far only the eyes and eyebrows cuz the lashes were giving me a hard time...but so far so good, i'd say!

day 83

so i decided to make 2 today since i kinda suck at posting these. i'd at least "punish" myself and make more than necessary. i messed with "photo filters" to give them a "lomo" type feel, and different "artistic" filters to make them painterly. Added "welcome home" to the one cuz i thought it looked like a post card. The End.

day 82

so if you google meyercord mermaid's, you get these awesome mermaid pictures. i messed with shit and added a border :)

day 81

so a friend posted the original picture as her cover photo, and i took it and messed with the hue/sat to make it purple/yellow colors and added zombies attack :)

day 80

So a lot of drama went on today, lost a "friend", fuck her, good riddance. So i made a quick one today:

day 79

i was so bored today, plans fell through with my best friend (she got the flu, apparently), and then we couldn't think of something to do with ourselves, so i made this and sulked.
