New ideas

So, while my wrist has been injured, I haven't really drawn... at all.

But I've been inspired to work some with colours and guild wars. We'll see how I do. I don't really wanna draw my own characters but rather just random characters I plucked together. Though I don't really like what I see.

All while the concept in my head is nice, we'll see how it looks when actually drawn by me. If it doesn't end up well, I can always fall back on my old idea with chibi's.

Just for fun, but I really feel like making some nice art.

Halloween contest

So I entered the 2011 Official Guild Wars Halloween competition. I was gonna make a slightly different piece and turn in, but it never went my way so I made what turned out to be the actual entry as vent-art for having what I wanted to make turn out crappy. It's the same mood, the same setting just not the same composition as I was originally working on.

I did a slight colour touch-up on the entry I submitted, and below you can see before and after the touch up.

And so now we see what happens there. I have no expectations, but you never know. At most I could get an honourable mention, and I'd be thrilled about that. I don't think I'd be selected for that. It's more autumny than halloweenish. But meh. I figured I'd give it a try. At least the good art that was submitted has something to shine in comparison with.

Plenty time for halloween and autumn pics. I just gotta get my hiny out there to photograph some reference pics for backgrounds.

Well then. I suppose I'll go on with whatever I was doing.

Been busy with nothing

So, lately I have been doodling a little and drawing some, but very little actually got finished.

I've been pretty busy with what seems to be nothing. Work and sleep, that's all I do, or so it feels like at least. My body isn't very happy, but I'm ignoring it as I normally do.

My primary focus art-wise right now is the Halloween workshop in Guild Wars Guru, or my entry into it actually. It's going slow as I'm not especially happy with what I've made. Now I got a pic I feel a bit more positive about, but it's just a sketch and I'm already having perspective problems...

So all you get from me right now is a quick little chibi-doodle.

Tired, but happy

Today is Friday the thirteenth, and I've been pretty lucky today, when things fudged up, they still worked out fine and I had a really nice day.

The bad stuff was:
1. I couldn't sleep
2. I had to pay the bus fare downtown since I couldn't walk after a sleepless night.
3. The meeting took about 20 min longer than I thought and I had about 9 minutes to buy a birthday gift and recharge my buscards.
4. I forgot the code to the credit card so I had to use my normal card which wasn't thoroughly equipped with money for that.
5. I was certain I was gonna miss my train since I had 4 min to run a 10min walk. I still ran and tasted blood.
6. I had to buy more stuff than expected.
7. I didn't get to role play before I had to leave.
8. The gift I bought had chocolate in it, and I had forgotten the birthday boy was lactose intolerant.

The good stuff:
1. I had enough money for all my purchases.
2. I didn't miss the train; it left 6 min later than it said online, and I met a friend when I was getting on.
3. I managed the day fine despite being so tired I didn't know my own name.
4. Everything went as planned.
5. It was a really nice day.
6. I got some exercise.
7. The gift that had chocolate in it didn't contain any lactose.
8. I managed to catch an earlier bus home from downtown.

And what I did today was that I went to a meeting at the unemployment centre, then I met up with a friend who has his birthday today. We (him, me, his mother and girlfriend) ate some pastries at a café and then went to his place to play a board game he received an expansion of as a birthday gift. Then we made role-playing characters and had a lot of fun hanging out with some of his friends.

His mom is totally awesome btw. Never met such a laid back and openly youthful mother.

Now I'm home and totally exhausted. But I'm happy; it was a really nice day and I hope to get some sleep.
G'night.

Sleepover

I went to meet up with my friend yesterday, and had a blast as usual, despite feeling not so good. We talked, bought a pizza with more salad on it than pizza; it was delicious! Of course I also managed to miss the last bus home, so I spent the night and most of the following of today with him.

I got to play Fable III, it was pretty fun, but I think I still like the first one the best.... I got really annoyed with the camera; it kept spinning! So I had to constantly spin it back or I wouldn't see anything and it made me motion sick when it span out of proportions.

My friend fell asleep in his sofa, so I stole his bed. Sadly, I went to bed with a strain headache and woke up with a fever headache that ruined my day today. I got foxy to come meet me down-town and help me shop. Once home I got so distracted with eating that I almost forgot about the headache, but it came back worse once I stopped eating.

So now I smell like my friend's apartment (perfume) and have to try and rest my headache off.

G'night.
