There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
They say that in space no one can hear you scream. Unless of course you have on a helmet filled with oxygen…and a microphone. In which case the only limits to the number of people who could hear you scream would be the reach of technology and the number of people able to [...]
With a plethora of things coming up, I’ve been forced to do something completely contrary to my nature.
I had to make a to-do list.
So far I’ve checked off three things today. Or marked them through…or maybe I should have highlighted them. I’m new to this list thing. [...]
Okay, so I finally finished the fairy commission. So to recap the entire process I started with a rough sketch, then the final pencils, followed by the inks…and now the final colored version.
There you have it. Enjoy!
I mentioned that last weekend there was an attempt made to fix a toilet in my house. The original problem was fixed with no big drama, but apparently the seal between the bowl and the tank was a little worn and so it needed to be replaced. Especially since once it was reattached [...]
I recently apologized to my wife for not being a handyman. I remember commenting before on how I’m usually the guy who stands around waiting to be sent for a screwdriver and last Friday I once again fulfilled my role as someone else came by to help fix our broken toilet. Which has [...]
Did you see what happened here? I began my little exposition into my commission drawing by saying how much I wanted to de-compartmentalize my life…and what did I do? I stuck to that topic and didn’t deviate to other topics for the most part…I put off posting until I had more of the [...]
I finally wrestled this drawing into the inking stage. This one has taken me a lot longer than I’d like…if commissions take a long time it’s usually the fault of the sketching stage. Once I get the pose down and it’s approved it moves a lot faster. One commission every 2 months [...]
So I send in a few more sketches to be approved. After about 10 sketches (the most I think I’ve done for a commission til now) # 10 gets approved with some small modifications. So I resketch the pose and promptly get started doodling something completely unrelated.
With that done I whip out the [...]
Sorry for not living up to my promise of updating the commission progress last week. I started doing the final pencils last night and it’s turning out fairly well. This morning as I was getting ready to leave the house I noticed our mortgage statement on the counter. I figure if I [...]
Just to assure you that I haven’t forgotten the train of thought that was my exposition about the commission I was working on, I just yesterday got the approval for the final pose and will start doing the finished version today or tomorrow. I’m at school right now, however, and can’t scan it in [...]
Overweight Stormtroopers just ain’t puttin’ the fear of the Empire into me.
This weekend I spent 14 hours at DragonCon in Atlanta, GA, a massive nexus of surrealism where goth and geek collide and comic book folk are relegated to a small nigh-out-of-the-way conference room. If you’ve never heard of DragonCon, just go [...]
I just got back from DragonCon in Atlanta. It was quite surreal. I’ll have a more in-depth review of my 14 hour day there when I’ve had some sleep, probably tomorrow sometime.
Owen was one of those strange incidental characters in my life. One that, at long last, I feel has finally played his part and has left the stage, leaving a void that beckons to be filled by more weirdness.
I met Owen in kindergarten. Even then I remember him as tall and lanky, [...]
Waking up for an early morning men’s small group is sometimes very disorienting for me. Especially when I’ve been skipping it for a couple of weeks. This morning the alarm went off right beside my head…but Sarah had to poke me and wake me up so I would turn it off. [...]
