kaleidoscopic water fowl

good day, folks!

I haven't posted any art because I haven't done any. this summer sort of sucked it out of me, and I have yet to make something new. However, I did revisit carmine last night, waiting for my laundry to dry. So, here she is, in COLOR!

( 'tis hardly a proper drawing for TLaPD, but it must needs do )

I'll post the compete verson when I'm done with it. glee!

edit:
heeheehee! LJ is acknowledging TLaPD! its logo changed for today, and instead of the "post to journal" button at the bottom, there's an "update captain's log" button. Yes!

Finally! While this entry doesn't contain the first 8 pictures that started this whole thing, it shows what will be up on the walls this coming week, with new pricing and better quality (hopefully)! Netherworld is at 334 Mifflin St., Madison, WI, 53703. People should buy things from them (I mean, I'm selling stuff there, but they have a whole bunch of amazing stuffs). They also have AIM, hilariously enough, at netherwrldgames so there is no excuse to not get in contact with them, even if you don't live in or around Madison. So there! Now, for the main boring bits (PLEASE EXCUSE THE SIZES - photobucket resizes things in painful ways that I can't control in ways I can't predict):

( the big stuff (6) )

( postcard-sized (11) )

ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! 'kthanxbai

So alex is running a game of Mage, and I am a geek, and the majority of my character creation involves drawing the character out, several times, until I have a proper facial structure/expressions, body shape, clothing style, and air to work with. So one of the many ways I've been doodling this character (think steampunk with da vinci paper wings and Elegant Goth Aristocrat, set in Madison) was on photoshop quickly while hanging out with Zee. There are definitely better versions, but as I recall, Lex, andy, and Sarah are going to do unholy things to my body unless I post this. So I'm doing it now, all sneaky-like, in the middle of the night. anyway:

( Man, I really need to learn how to use photoshop )

There will almost certainly be more of this girl coming up. *glee* I like her so much! I want to get her right!

----------------------------------------------

Also, because I don't know how many of you have seen these pictures, when I talk about the faerie amphitheatre near home, the one set at the bottom of a valley that I really want A Midsummer Night's Dream performed in, the one I wish I could BE if I could be an inanimate object/place,
( this is what I mean )

there will be update soon - today or tomorrow! I'm going to post what I have for selling at netherworld, with strict demands that if you look at them at all you need to point out one helpful thing on at least one picture. I'll need background ideas and ways to better what backgrounds I have, as well as ideas for new drawings + areas to improve in general. So far all of the art is pen/ink or colored pencil. Should I also do prints of digital stuff (like the steam-punk angel currently being colored, or the gears girl from below?) You'll see them soon, and I'll ask again then. I promise I haven't stopped drawing stuffs.

love and fishbrains and GET ME A JOB THIS SUMMER, OH GOD. or just buy the prints at netherworld. yes. love.

fishbrains.

Having this lj makes me really happy. Not being able to upload pictures on picpile OR photobucket makes me unutterably sad. No matter how hard I try, nothing will upload... it will just tease me by pretending for an hour or two without actually accomplishing anything until I need to move my computer. rage. anyone know anywhere else I could try?

( this would be another one of those picture posts with art, but instead it's just a sad, empty cut. sad and empty. you'll click on me anyway, but you'll see. )


EDIT:

( I got one site to work! - WIP )

Zim's sketchbook of completeness, now! I don't have everything scanned, but no worries, I will... eventually.

( andy and lex: a mass of blackness )

( buttons )

( I like costumes )

( Lex likes creepy-no-eyes )

( Hey, look! A picture *I* actually like! )

( A very stylized version of Indy's crest )

( because she's amazing )

( Fully cheesy enough to come out of wisconsin )

( The owner of the sketchbook makes an appearance )

( I didn't know what steampunk was )

( and finally, just because it snowed today, proof that it's still - )

That's it for now, loves. Please leave comments/critiques/candy

( something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue... (a highly pointless title) )

( 10 pictures... by which I mean 11 )

I have a deviantart site, right? I started this so I could have somewhere to put art. Should I move my art from DA to here (deleting off of deviantart), or just leave it there and assume you all can go look at it if you want to?

hello everyone! people, meet the graphic goose. graphic goose, people.

( I like abberant. a bunch. and taking advantage of photoshop. I'm learning! )

love!
