Picture Saturday || September || 1

Hello everyone, 

The gaps between my posts seem to be getting longer and longer, and I can't figure out why, or how to fix it. 

This is one of the longest art slumps I've ever been in. 

And on top of that, I am always freaking tired.

And on top of that, I keep losing followers! (No duh, Treskie, that's cause you're never posting.)

*Sniff*

I'm overwhelmed.

So that's what's new with me.

You guys want to see some of the least awesome drawings ever?

Okay??

Okay!


1.) Here we have Kate doing awesome things with a Glock.
 

 
 2.) And also a rifle.

 3.) And also from the floor. She may or may not be fighting for her life.

 4.) And here have some Tristan face studies, because he my favorite potato.

 5.) Cause yes, he's quite cool and has anime hair.

 6.) Also yes, hi, hello. Dang he looks good in a ball cap. *heart eyes*

 7.) Ooooh check out this random elf thing!

 8.) And this girl who's eyes are probably causing brain damage cause they're like 15 times too big. #idowhatiwant

 9.) I love you thiiiis much!

 10.) I'm starting to feel like everyone needs to pray more cause there are natural disasters everywhere.

 11.) I want a giant hug and stuff.

 Once upon a time I used to like what I drew. LOL aaah. Good times. So long ago.

Haha, it's currently my sister's birthday, so we had cake, we're watching Iron Man, and I'm beginning to seriously be in the mood for Civil War again.

I'm gonna try to post again next week, guys. Try and get a fire lit under me or something lol.

In the meantime, I have questions for you to answer!

(Cause I missed hearing from you...)

Favorite overall?
Best in black-and-white?
Favorite Tristan and Gang?
Best in color?
What are you guys up to?

I love you all!

June || #notdead

But I'm posting anyway.

I woke up with a start a few days ago and proceeded to facepalm in dismay.

Because, holy heck no, I haven't posted in like two months.

I'm appalled at myself.

I'm sorry, guys. It's been a weird couple of weeks. And I haven't drawn hardly at all, I haven't had the energy.

That being said, I will try to be better, but I make no promises, because I just don't know if I can keep them.

I very much apologize for being gone so long. I haven't been reading or commenting on blogs either. I'm a horrible human.

But for now... Please observe my art. *Bows*

1.) Here, we have the first hug of the evening. It's cute. It's cuddly. Her hair makes me happy.

 2.) This one is just different. I'm not sure about it. I like her ponytail. She's probably listening to a musical or something.

 3.) I call this one, "Art block at it's finest,"

 4.) "Art block 2.0"

 5.) My sister-in-law asked me to draw a thing, and I did, and I'm mostly pleased with it. But it could use some tweaking.

 6.) The "Memorare" is a great prayer.

(I'm absurdly happy with that veil. Like YES, it actually looks like LACE!)

 7.) We listened to a version of Phantom of the Opera that none of us had heard before. It was an old version ('88, I believe?), with Michael Ball, Dave Willets, and Rebecca Caine, and oh my my. Can we talk about how the earlier casts actually kept the tune? And got their timing right?
And the Phantom didn't scream "GAO KNAOW AND LIIEEAVE MAAAEEE!"??*

*Go now and leave me

Good times.

8.) What's happening in this one? I have no idea. But I don't like it. Like... at all.

9.) *Whistles*

10.) This cuteness. 

11.) MAX! He hasn't shown up in a while. Poor Max.... I'm not wild about the way the post turned out, but Max is such a sad potato here. 

12.) So.. sometimes when Kate is recovering from injuries, she wears Tristan's shirt cause it's looser and more comfortable. Tristan thinks it's adorable.

13.) And sometimes even the toughest, most hardcore leaders need someone to hug them and let them know they're doing a good job.

Yeah.

I don't know, guys. I've just been... out of it lately. I'm trying to work drawing into my daily routine again, but I'm having a hard time with it, so please bear with me. :)

So that being said, I hope you all had an awesome weekend!

I miss you all! 

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best in black and white?

Favorite colored?
Best Tristan and Gang?
Any plans for the 4th of July?

What have you been up to? I want to know!

I love you all and I'll try to be back next week. 

Picture Saturday || November {1}

So... it's been a while.

*Squints at date of last blog post*

Wow, I'm a horrible blogger.


Ugh! It's crazy how easily blogging can slip by when you have so many things going on! We had company and then we went to Front Sight,* and then I got sick....

*muffled screaming from the general area of Treskie*

Front Sight, guys. You gotta go.


Anyway, this Picture Saturday doesn't have a whole heck of a lot, because I didn't have a lot of time to draw... but worth it, because A.) visiting with fun people that you don't see a lot is awesome, and B.) Front. Freaking. Sight. (It's amazing and wipes you out and ugh, I want to go baaack.)


But yeah, let's get started, shall we?

1.) I'm so cranky, because this picture was awfully cute and then SOMEONE spilled her water all over my sketchbook. (You know who you are. You're in disgrace forever.)

2.) Girls with long hair, cause why not?

3.) Please ignore this weird picture. (Except for her shirt. Admire the shirt. The shirt is fantastic. The rest, you may ignore with all your might.)

4.) So this is super late, but sometimes Kate makes the boys dress up for Halloween, whether they want to or not. And since they're in the middle of a war against a bad ol' company, they had to just scrounge up stuff from their bunker, so Kate's very proud when the costume she came up with for Tristan turned out well.

5.) So... I got a request for more Tristan and Kate romance. So.... I'M REALLY SORRY FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DON'T LIKE THE SMOOCHY PICS.

6.) Sometimes if Kate's annoying him, he'll trip her, and it's frikken cute.

The same person who requested more love, also pointed out that it's been ages since I've colored in Tristan and Gang, so I might need to rectify that next week.


7.) Aand finally, this was a quick sketch I did while watching Il Volo sing, and I realized I finally had time to art again. (Please forgive the hands. They're.. weird looking. lol)

And THAT, my friends, minions, and potatoes, is the conclusion of this post. 

I promise to be better about blogging at least once a week now. 

Oh my gosh, I might need to do another life post, because reasons. 

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best Tristan and Gang?

What would you like to see more of?

I love you all! 

Treskie out.

Picture Saturday -- Stuff and things.

Yep. It's been a while.

Yes I know.

No, I don't really have an excuse. I mean, I have WiFi now, which is jolly. I have enough time, which is also jolly.

At the moment, I'm just a little bit brain dead when it comes to blogging ideas.

I need to start writing ideas down and putting them in a little clear mason jar, so that when I'm stumped I can stick my hand in and pull out a pre-thought-up post idea. Bountiful!

LET'S DO A LIST!!

A LIST OF HAPPY THINGS!

1.) I wore a cute sailor-y outfit today. I felt quite fabulous. (we won't mention how I may have splooshed wine on it, because that's not a happy thing.)

2.) My sister and her husband and their youngest came out for a weekend visit last week! (Hence no Picture Saturday.) We did lots of stuff and things, and it was really epic.

Yes, I make funny faces at babies. WHO DOESN'T?

3.) I figured out how to make the scanner scan stuff on high quality so my pictures aren't grainy. THIS MEANS I will not be using the camera anymore, and my drawings will look much more better on here. This delights me.

4.) I bought copic markers. *Flails*

Right, so happy thoughts done! (What a freaking relief.... can we get back to the sarcasm now? Thank you.)

Picture Saturday has... very little color. See I have my colored pencils on a shelf. And if I want to use them, I have to get up and get them and that's so much work. I will color more next week. And I will draw Luna the MLP next week as well.


1.) So first we have the bizarre doodles. Yes, I draw people kissing. What can I say? I'm in love with the idea of love.

2.) More bizarre doodles. But I finally drew a smiley person that I like!*

*You may applaud the smiley girl.


3.) HUG, because HUG.

4.) Le fairy, because fairies are always awesome, and I really like them.

5.) I had a really bad week, and this was the Postcommunion at Mass, and it just sort of made my day. And yes, I totally botched writing which Psalm it was, because I got ahead of myself and tried to write the wrong letter first. In pen. Go me.

 6.) My co-worker's birthday was last week, and a couple weeks ago, I found out that she really liked this song called Bus Stop by the Hollies. And since the lyrics were so freaking cute, I figured for her birthday I would draw her a picture illustrating it.

This was the rough draft.

7.) And this was the final version. I was very proud. AND she really liked it, so BONUS!

8.) The semi-self portrait that I did. Semi, because A.) I don't actually look like that. B.) My hair is not that fabulous. And C.) I'm a leftie.

 9.) The really terrible dual.

 10.) Jack posted the other day about how she looks when she rides her motorcycle, and her description was so cute... I had to draw it.

11.) Le scowly girl who did an admirable job depicting my feelings at the moment of her creation.

12.) Le mommy and her daughter, which was inspired by my sister and her kid. I shall probably color it in eventually.

13.) So I was listening to Taylor Swift....

14.) And that led me to my country music mood. And I just happened to listen to Play It Again by Luke Bryan, and that song is fabulous. (So yous all who don't like country *coughHannahcoughJesscough* can go somewhere else, because this is CUTE.)

15.) I bought Copic Markers.....

WELL THAT WAS A MISTAKE. Because see... as soon as I try new art supplies, I can't live without them. COPIC MARKERS ARE SEVEN BUCKS A POP, PEOPLE. Why!? So I only bought two. Yeah, I know what I'm saving up for....

GUYS IT'S ACTUALLY SKIN TONED. IT'S SKIN TONED! NOT PEACH! SKIIIIN.

Yep. My hobby is very expensive and it's sad. OH WELL! *Dances off to work for markers*

Goodbai. I shall see you in a few days.

Tra!
