Picture Sunday || July {1}

I mean at least it's only been three weeks this time.

I swear I will do a lifey post soon! As it is, I've just been really tired lately.

*Blows bangs off forehead* 

BUT GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME, SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING WAS SO GOOD! Better than Andrew Garfield's by like 500%. You gotta go see it. There's a couple parts I very much want to draw, because.. yes. 

That being said, you guys want to see some art?

I've been a sketchy sort of mood, so there isn't much color. The case of the blahs is strong with me. 

1.) Anyway! Look at this cute couple, he's enamored and she's oblivious.

2.) I've been on something of a musicals kick lately. Please observe more Phantom fanart because Treskie has no life. 

3.) I attempted to get Christine's look of wonder/fear/curiosity, and ended up with deadpan. WOOOO!

4.) BUT THIS ONE TURNED OUT SUPER WELL. My mind went, "This picture, I like it!"

5.) Speaking of musicals, I've been listening to the Symphonic version of Les Mis. (You know, the proper one, with Anthony Warlow and Michael Ball.) That's a good musical, it's fun to sing along to. 

But anyway, I was listening to it, and there's that part where Eponine goes, "I like the way you grow your hair.." and, Marius, the magnificently unaware, responds with, "LOL You're so funny, you're like my sister."

And I got this mental image of Eponine looking into the camera like she's in The Office, and cracked up. 

6.) This is somewhat belated, but I was feeling exceptionally pro 2nd Amendment this last 4th of July. 

7.) Sometimes Kate and Tristan actually act like a real couple.

8.) And Kate reacts sadly. This particular picture is horribly disproportionate and dramatic. Such drama, Kate.

9.) BUT THEY ARE MY OTP. They're always gonna be fine. (Please disregard the sad fact that Kate's head is weirdly shaped and bigger than Tristan's, please and thank you.)

10.) Birthdays were on my mind this month. So I had Kate turn 20, and the boys made her a cake. It was probably Tyler's idea and it's likely he also baked it. Max likes to belt the birthday song, even though he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, and Tristan professes that he's only there for the cake. (But he totally got Kate some awesome present.)

friendly reminder that one of the boys is gonna die....

I've been really wanting to just have a night where I sing for people. Nothing special. A microphone would be nice. But I want to sing for people again. *Eyeballs singing class at the college*

So yeah, that's what I've been drawing these last couple weeks. 

I'm sure one of these day I'm gonna get myself together and be the blogger I used to be!

Until then, please be patient with me, keep me in your prayers, and I will post a life update soon. I'm aiming for sometime this week. :)

Question Time!

Best Tristan and Gang?

Favorite overall? 

Best fanart?

Have you seen Spiderman yet? Thoughts?

I love you all, and I'll talk you really soon. 

God bless

 

Picture Sunday || September {2}

Well hello!

Yes, yes, I'm late.

We know.

But I had a choice last night, to either do a blog post, or listen to Phantom of the Opera with someone who's never heard it before... Guess which one I chose?

I'm starting to feel like my blog needs an update again. I think it's just going to end up changing about once a year because yours truly has a very limited attention span and I get bored quickly.

Maybe New Years will bring a new design. YOU NEVER KNOW.

I'm considering chopping off my hair. This frightens me. But I want to! But I'm not much into change. It's very complicated, see.


Anyway! I actually drew this week, ladies and gents! (I know, crazy, right?) So buckle up, we have fanarts. Lots of fanarts.

1.) So first of all, look at this poofy Baymax and Hiro. (I've been in the mood to watch that movie again. I just love it so much.)

Next time I need to make Hiro's hair darker, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with this one. Because BAYMAX IS A GIANT MARSHMALLOW OF LOVE AND HUGS AND HAPPINESS.

2.) Ehem... I've been feeling particularly sappy lately, so deal with it.

3.) Attempted Briar Rose. (Which I always thought was a prettier name than Aurora, just saying.) Not 100% satisfied with how it turned out, but that aside I guess it's okay? I DON'T KNOW!

4.) So the Phantom really is a sad potato, and let me just say: Wow, Dave Willetts is one of the best Phantoms I've ever heard like sweet heavenly mercy me he is GOOD.

I'm thinking I might do a timelapse video of the coloring process on this one, with better lighting and a tripod. What do you guys think? Yes, no, maybe?

5.) Speaking of musicals, look at this completed one from last time!

6.) And there's this part in the musical where Sam's trying to get Molly to notice him and he says this line about, "I’m with you right beside you, I need you to believe it... Don’t stop now, you can feel me inside you-- don’t loose me in the rain!" And call me crazy, THAT LINE IS SUPER SAD.

7.) Sometimes I don't even know why I draw stuff. But here, look at this nerdy-looking girl holding a sword because that's going to turn out so well....

8.) Look, I drew a more detailed picture of Tyler. Tyler is the oldest of Tristan and Gang, and he's been through a lot. He's always tired, he's pretty humorless and sometimes he feels the greatest of needs to punch Tristan in his perfect face. I love him so much.

9.) Also, I drew Piero for Kat because his voice is gorgeous.

10.) So... There's a very real possibility that I may have binged Voltron: Legendary Defender on netflix, because... Because... It's literally like Zuko and Sokka from ATLA...in space. And... I... like it.

11.) THIS IS THE ZUKO CHARACTER. His name is Keith. He is awesome. We like him. *sips water*

12.) He has this cool spacey sword and he does ninja-like things with it and I approve. It has the Treskie Stamp of Approval. (Because... that's a thing. DO NOT DOUBT ME.) Please send help.

Yeeeep. 

Alright, people! 

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best fanart? 

Favorite with color?

Best black and white?

What would you like to see more of on this blog? Fanart? Tristan and Co? Originals? Let me know!

I love you all!

Picture Sunday-- July

So... I took a random two-week hiatus from blogging.

It wasn't planned. I just had a lot going on, and when Saturdays showed up, I realized, A.) I hadn't drawn at all. And B.) I would rather do ANYTHING but focus.

And that's my explanation, so yes, I'm sorry about that, and I think the lack of motivation might be ebbing. Which is good, because I have a couple of picture books I'm supposed to be illustrating for people and I HAVEN'T, because I've been too stressed out.

Other than that, life is looking more cheerful, this month is the month I plan to do things that involve adulting, motivating myself, and possibly starting a society6 or reddit shop.

Also I'm going to buy wine because I'm twenty-one now.

That's my plan, and hopefully I'll stick to it.

Buuut it's me, so it's quite likely that I will ignore the plan and stay in the same old rut as usual. C'est moi.

Whatever. Art, anyone?

1.) I kind of always come back to Phantom after trying other musicals. It's the best.

2.) Mostly, I just finished drawings from last week. *Sokka slap*

3.) What-ho, Christine Daae. Werk.

4.) Also this very attractive cowboy....

5.) Most of my art from last week looked like this, and that's why Picture Saturday was a no-show.

 6.) And also like this. 

7.) Bella informed me that Christine is making a very Amy expression in this picture, and actually... she's right. Sorry, Amy. 

8.) Proportions don't exist in this one, but the emotions are good, I think. (Basically Max is a flirt and Kate's having none of it.)

 9.) Remember when I said Kate bakes when she's worried? A lot of the time, Tristan's the reason she's stressed out. 

10.) Raoul is a precious cinnamon roll. 

11.) We rewatched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and I freaking love the stupidity of that musical. 

12.) If any of you haven't seen it, you guys should really check out Olan Rogers' animated short because it's gold, and in the space of like... 5 minutes, it gave me the giggles and then unexpected feelings. 

 13.) And yeah, I drew the Phantom, because whether he's a creeper or not, that bit at the end where Christine leaves is sad. 

So yeah. I think now I'm going to be back on schedule, which means blogging will be more steady again, and I have some exciting news to share when I get something finished. 

Until then, I will leave you with this Hunter Hayes song, because I'm twenty-one now. 

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Favorite colored?

Best black and white?

Best Phantom fanart?

Have you seen Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?*

*Blue, pretty sure I already know your answer, lol. 

Go now! Go now and leave me!

Picture Sunday-- Apparently, I cannot even.

Wherein Treskie is absolutely exhausted.

Literally me every night: "I am very tired, Lord. It's after midnight, and I would like to sleep."

Literally me every morning: *Peers at clock* "It is six o'clock and I didn't get to sleep until super late last night. I am very tired, Lord."

Literally me every day: "I am very, tired, Lord."

And that is my story.


Sorry this is late, I got distracted yesterday, so Picture Saturday got delayed. (Amy and I were working on something for the channel....)


I'm also relistening to all my musicals and getting emotional over them, because basically, music makes me feel things.

1.) Did I relisten to Phantom? Why, yes. Yes I did.

2.) I'm singing I Dreamed a Dream for one of my final songs in singing class. (AW YISS, SO FUN.) But the first time I printed the sheet music, the printer spazzed out, so I had these half-printed musical sheets that I felt bad wasting. So I drew this during the ten-minute break at class.

Yeah, her face is a little squashy, shush.

3.) Which led me to go, "Oooooooooooooh." And so I doodled across the un-transposed sheet music for my other solo.

4.) Attempted to draw Hale and failed exceptionally.

5.) I started this one and decided to finish it later, because I was tired, and could not even.

6.) Ehem. I'm feeling the urge to draw Christine a lot these days, because basically, her hair is the best thing since sliced bread, and POTO is the king of all musicals. SO... Here, have an inked in sketch of her going, "TRY TO FORGIVE, TEACH ME TO LIIIIIVE, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO TRYYY!" Because reasons.

Anyway, yeah. I'm planning on drawing more next time, but I can't promise, since it's going to be a really long week at the flower shop. I'd like to draw some actual pictures of the Phantom, since it's his musical, after all, and I barely pay attention to him. (I'm more like, "RAOUL AND CHRISTINE ARE GOLDEN LITTLE GUMMY BEARS OF CUTENESS" #OTP.)

I'd like to color several of the black and whites that I've posted lately....

And I want to draw Christina Grimmie, because her death hit me really hard and I want to pay tribute to her somehow.

Until then, here, have a video that made me cry like a baby.

Yours, ever so sincerely,
