and my future wife Seychelle Gabriel on the bottom - based off this picture
(Also it was her birthday when I drew this :-))
I had my graduation ceremony the other day... I got the "most outstanding student" award for graphic design, which unfortunately wasn't much of an achievement because there were only 5 students graduating this year hahaha
My birthday is a week, I hope to do nothing and that no one bothers me the whole day hahah
I hope the Batman V Superman Trailer comes out soon
or maybe its cos my hands are numb cos it's getting cold again
Since my last post I watched:
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (co-created by Tina Fey) in its entirety... it's charming and smart, yet it deals with race quite poorly which makes it so much worse than if it were in something bad.
There are also bits of humour meant for children, though maybe that's intentional. Maybe it's meant to be a show for kids?
I'm not that familiar with Tina Feys writing but honestly this show doesn't seem to take it's audience seriously at times.
Louie - S1 and halfway through S2
This is a show that is brutally honest and ordinary and earnest.
It doesn't tell a story through the normal 3 act structure, rather it tells a 2 or 3 different stories (usually).
But these stories being so brutally honest hit you hard, whether it be about dealing with being a single parent, fatherhood, relationships, sex, loneliness, suicide. It's not a traditional sitcom. It has bits of humour but it's not about being funny but rather about the complications of life. I'm actually not sure whether I love it or just like it. It's so grounded in reality that it's at times "boring" for lack of a better word. But it's so profound and poignant at times that I can't help but be drawn to it.
just a couple sketches, though the second one is using my first sketch as a base
my first was just a random doodle
and my second is my witchsona that I started last year (if you remember haha) yet i never finished, albeit it has changed quite a bit
Everyone has really elaborate and flamboyant character designs but my character design efforts are mostly sleek and casual haha but i guess that has something to do with the fact i like characters to wear stuff that you could wear everyday
I've been doing a couple of studies for a couple of days so forgive me if they're not perfect. I know they're off but I've never been good with portraiture so can ya blame me?
also i avoided drawing eyes because they looked even less like them when i added them in
anyway I don't really have much to say honestly hahah
it's been a few weeks, I have returned for this update
since my last post Persona 5 news came out (P4 is incidentally one of my absolute favourite games, please play it, love yourself... you dont need to play any of the prev games as it works like FF as none of the numbered games connect to each other) so I've been meaning to do a P5 draw for a while
I actually started this many times but I wasn't happy with anything I was drawing, and although this isn't exactly a great update I wanted to finally post something.
in other news I've been playing a bit of MH4U (MH3U being another one of my absolute fave games) though I've only played about 15 hours as I've also been doing some freelance work + hanging out and draining my money WHEN I'M TRYING TO SAVE AS MUCH AS I CAN
wait did I mention I'm going to Japan at the end of the year?
well there's that, so excite, well actually I'm not crazy excited but that's because everytime i overhype myself I get disappointed - so I haven't been excited since Prometheus came out THAT ABSOLUTE PIECE OF TRASH.
I've been watching Fringe also lately, and HOLY HELL is that good. There are so many little things in there that you miss but upon actually trying to find things you'll notice how much thought goes into each episode... highly recommended. I was going through season 1 quite slowly but season 2 hits a really strong point and makes the show so much more interesting. I've still S3, 4 & 5 to go through but yeah really good show!!
today I just drew "myself in an outfit I want but don’t have" as apart of a drawing challenge thing, so i picked a non-normal idea and went with some armor from fire emblem noice
I've been working every business day this past week so I've been pretty busy/tired so gomen for not drawing sooner but that's life for ya
guh well hello im trying to keep up with doing drawings but im failing miserably as always haha
I recently received the fire emblem awakening artbook as a gift (thanks beck!!!) so I'm trying to put it to good use by drawing things from it!!
I haven't drawn in a while, so I'm pretty rusty, also this is a style that I'm not used to drawing yet so bare with me, bear down.
anyway i don't know what to talk about... I'm back at work temporarily and in my spare time I have been playing final fantasy 14 which has a myriad of these small issues that make it frustrating to play (wtf with the map man?).... all the things I take for granted that came from gw2, like the inventory, ease of navigation, being able to do instances with party members... haha.
