Time off

I've only had one day of freedom so far, and I already feel like I'm going to go nuts if I don't find something to do. I suppose it's because my time was being taken up by schoolwork, as well as art in my free time. Now I have all sorts of great ideas and no way to work out a schedule because I'm not in school. I'll sit down to paint, and I'll suddenly go into panic-mode because I feel like I have assignments to do. Argh! I hope I get this nonsense settled before my vacation is over...

On another note, today I fell down the stairs and whacked my elbow really hard. It's been about 8 hours now, and the side of my hand is still tingly. I have some bruises on my back and my tailbone is a little sore, but I still start laughing like a maniac when I remember WHY I fell down the stairs.
I fell down the stairs because I was having a Science! day (basically my excuse for wearing a lab coat around the house) and I discovered that if you stick your earbuds in your nostrils and open your mouth you get an awesome stereo.
Please don't ask me how I figured that out...
Anyway, I figured that sharing is caring so I went downstairs to share my groundbreaking discovery with my dad when I lost my footing and slipped down the stairs (See: http://www.youtube.com/user/DudeCrushClaws?feature=guide#p/f/29/KedGncdV-T4 ). I then proceeded to laugh my ass off, scaring the hell out of my very concerned father, and making me laugh even harder.

I can't laugh at his reaction too much, though. I blacked out the last time I fell down a staircase. I couldn't see or hear anything, but my body picked itself up (and I think was muttering to my dad and my sister) and continued walking towards the next flight of stairs. Luckily, my hearing started coming back and I could vaguely hear people yelling my name and a really loud ringing; my eyesight also started coming back, first in gray-scale, then slowly filtering in as color bubbles. Very luckily, this happened just as I as put one foot down on the next step, thus preventing another fall down another flight of stairs. In conclusion, I am very grateful that my dad is a concerned parent and I try very hard not to scare him.
I could tell a bunch of other fun stories, but this is not "Crazy Ass Injuries and Stuff," so I will leave it be for now. :p

These pictures are from 2008, which would put me at 14-15 years old. This is still the upside-down sketchbook, but I guess I was having another one of my "Holy crap! What year is it?!" moments when I started this thing because some earlier pages say Nov. 2007, but the rest say Nov. 2008. Derp.

Everyone has a bad day!

MegaMan looks like a turtle, IMO. A cute turtle, nonetheless.

A drawing of InuYasha from memory. Possibly one of my favorites in this book.

Quite a difference from the first one, eh?

My least-favorite-navigator, Pallette. The bird in her hair is a nice touch!

Teapot. This was likely a teapot belonging to one of the studio's members who left it lying around.

IT CAN SEE INTO YOUR SOUL!

Enjoy!

It feels so late.

It is 10:01 on a Friday. I am WIPED OUT. Truly. If I wasn't afraid that I'd fall asleep with the brush in my hand, I'd work on my current painting some more. Alas, I am a tired, tired creature, and after I post this entry, I am going to bed.
Start of 2nd 2006 sketchbook (brown)! I started this one 6/3/06, only a few months after the previous book. Here we go:

First time drawing a dragon. This was done with sepia India ink and a quill.

Friendly neighborhood MegaMan X. For such a simple design, he is a horror to draw correctly -.-

Dragon #2. A big improvement over the first one!

I've mentioned this before, but my mom used to teach art lessons. This was supposed to be practice with textures.

I've always been a natural art critic!

Aw, yeah!

I've been having an excellent week so far. This is an amazing thing, because I had an amazing week last week, too. The Irish in me is going nuts because something has to happen to balance out the goodness. However, I would like to say a big "SCREW YOU!" to badness, and just enjoy my week. :)

On to the pictures~!

This captures the foreboding mood all children experience when facing a dark hallway. Too bad I forgot her own shadow.

X is looking a little downcast :(

Still life. My mom taught art lessons for awhile. I was the cheeky (read: unhelpful) assistant.

Another character o'mine. I never could get her face right, so I left it. HAH.

Above character's horse. I actually drew a background, which is something I could stand to do more often!

Share and enjoy.

Procrastination

Hi again! Double update today because I am procrastinating. That's right folks. That 9 page paper can just freakin' wait, because I am lazy.
So here we go:

No clue. Yeah.

This cat is holy sh*t actually realistic. Cool.

Oh ho ho. It's Zero. Everybody watch out.

This was drawn one beautiful morning in the cottage.

 

As a treat, have some lazy doodles that I did during my Global Issues seminar today. Sponsored by inattentiveness and 6 hours of sleep.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

Yup.

Mmhmm.

Meh. Now for some paper writing! Hooray!
