Oh, and incidentally, I flipped out a little, because I realized I could use this gif in my blog post today.
I don't know, it's just so satisfying to use a gif that is so perfectly applicable.
I'm thinking about giving Occasional Randomness a face lift. Just a little one. What do you think?
I love October.
I don't even know what it is about it. It's just such a beautiful month, with all the changing colors and the little briskness in the air, and that delightful crisp smell that just makes me want to take long walks, and get cute sweaters, and drink coffee, and bake lots of scones and banana bread and apple pie, and just.... just create.
But then again, I'm not overly fond of gray days. I like rain. I love rain, actually. It's very atmospheric and it puts me in the mood for movies and something hot to drink... I'm always tempted to go outside and splash in puddles... usually though, I just spend all day sitting on the floor with my art supplies spread out around me.

But gray days on their own, when they're just.... gray. Ugh I do not like them.
Sometimes I just listen to musicals and marvel at the way the music makes me feel.
I don't know why I haven't attempted drawing baseball shirts before. They're like... my favorite shirts ever. Their shape is good, and the way they fit is really flattering.... and just.... shoulders. I really like the way they make shoulders look, it's a good look. Rawr.
Here, prime example of the epicness of baseball shirts.
And then once I started on the baseball shirts I realized: Tristan wears baseball shirts under his jacket, because baseball shirts and Tristan's shoulders would be a perfect pair.
And then I realized I should do a more in depth character sketch for the poor sad potato that is Tristan Ross. So here we have the first draft of his sketch, and oh yes, it needs work, but can we talk about his shoulders?
Lately, I've just been like, "I WANT A BABY, OKAY? OKAY!" I just want one! ...Or like.. I dunno. Ten. Twelve. I'd like a small army of babies, thank you very much.
Those people who are like, "I want a million dollars and a pony," they're wrong. I want a million dollars and a baby, and I will be most content.

| rawr to the baseball shirt |
Sometime soonish I should do a lifey updatey post for you all, because it's been a while, and you seem to like those.
Question time! (Because I like to know stuff...)
*Overall favorite drawing?
*Favorite black and white?
*Do you agree with my baseball shirt assessment?
*Do you have a quote about October that I haven't heard?
Okey dokey, I'm out of here.
Happy October, fools.
YES TO IT ALL ESPECIALLY BASEBALL SHIRTS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (also totally died at Hannah's header I ADORE IT also I was like, "Wow....that looks like Hannah..." and then I read the caption XDDDDD)
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAAASSSS. BASEBALL SHIRTS ARE THE BOMB DIGGETY. (Awwww really? Sweet. She hurled a bunch of ideas at me and I just started sketching the first one lol. YES IT LOOKS LIKE HANNAH???????? YASSS.)
DeleteI like how you do baseball shirts. And you need to do Tristian's story as a graphic novel because I'd read it and buy it and read it again and hit you because you'd make it sad. I know you.
ReplyDeleteI want an army of babies too. At this point I'd be happy with just one baby. An army would be great but any kind of little wiggly human......
I like how I do baseball shirts too. Rawr. So attract. Many love.
DeleteI'm still trying to figure out some semblance of a PLOT for Tristan's story, because as of now, all I know is that he and Kate, and Kate's brother, and the other best friend, live in a big abandoned *something* and they're up against some big bad guy, and one of the boys dies and Tristan cries.... and the weight of the world is on Tristan's shoulders because he's the leader. But I DON"T KNOW WHY ANY OF IT"S HAPPENING SO. (But I would make it sad. Sad drawings are some of my favorites to do.)
Heeee. Not all at once, mind you, but one every other year sounds like a plan to me, and twins wouldn't be sighed over.... But yeah. I know what you mean. JUST ONE EVEN!!!!!!!!!

Witch.
DeleteJerk.
I agree with the baseball shirt theory! Muchly so. Also, I like that one of Tristan and the gun and the words. I don't know way, because I don't know a whole lot about him (aside that he's a sad potato and knows guns) but he makes me think of Eliot from Leverage (but he looks nothing like Eliot). I hope that's okay. Forgive my ignorance.
ReplyDeleteBut I am with Jack. You should do a Tristan Ross graphic novel so we can all read about him. He sounds awesome. :)
My favorite picture is the third one. The grumpy person in the rain. I love it! It, uh, made me laugh. . . is that mean spirited? Sorry. But I like the colors. Also, the guy is convincingly grumpy, and yet somehow he looks adorable. Maybe that's why I laughed?
Though I do love an overcast sky. I have no idea why.
Thank you for agreeing with the baseball shirt theory. I acknowledge your awesomeness. Hahaha, everyone seems to like the one with the gun and the words, but that's like my least favorite this week. XD I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY, it just bugs me! (He's the saddest potato. And he's attractive.) Eliot is my favorite character on Leverage! He's just so cool! And yeah, I can see how you got that from Tristan.... but he's more like a mix of Eliot and Thomas from maze runner. O-o
Delete*fails* I don't know the first thing about graphic novels though.... which is tragic, really.
Ooh really? I liked the way that one turned out, it just made me really happy. His scowly little lips amused me too, so... I guess we can be mean-spirited together. (I was going for adorably grumpy, thanks for noticing. XD)
You can have them, I find them rather tedious. lol
OMG THOSE LITTLE OKIE DOKIE SMILES. I'M SO HAPPY THAT S11 IS AIRING SOON AND I GET TO WATCH THOSE WINCHESTER MORON'S BREAK THE WORLD AGAIN. :') LOVE THEM SO MUCH. *sobs*
ReplyDeleteAhem
Baseball shirts!??! THAT is what they're called?!?! I never knew. XD And I love them! I love the "i'm gonna kill him" picture best. Because reasons. AND YES DO A LIFEY POST! :D
I LIKE HIM HE SAYS OKIE DOKIE. EVEN THOUGH IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OKEY DOKEY. OKAY? LOOKS LIKE MR. OKEY DOKEY IS..... OKEY DOKEY. EHEM. S11 AIRS IN LIKE TWO DAYS AND I'M EXCITED AND TERRIFIED AND A;SDKFJA;SLDKFJASF BOYS.
DeleteYes, that's what they're called!! ('Merica does the best shirts....) and now you know. Why does everyone like the "I'm gonna kill him" picture?? HIS BACK LOOKS BROKEN.
LIFEY POST UPCOMING ASAP
I really like that pumpkin carrying drawing, so very cute, could be perfect for a card or postcard.
ReplyDeleteI like baseball shirts, strangely on a guy it looks even better...
I just read from one of my favorite blogger that october, well, the start of autumn, is a restart for everything, like you can start new things or something, that sounds good to me.
honestly, I think any changes to a blog's template is good for just about any blog, it gives it something new to look at, I've always like it when blogs change their designs every now and then.
happy october to you!
That pumpkin drawing happened at like 11pm and I was just in a drawing frenzy lol. I'm surprised at how nice it turned out. lol. But ohmygoodness THANKS!!!!!!!
DeleteYeah, they look extra special nice on guys. (I maintain that it's the shoulders.....lol)
Ooh what blogger is that? I think I'm going to end up just doing some tweaking here and there to make it purty. :)
Happy October to you too! You're awesome!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
ReplyDeletem'kay I love this m'kay
*Overall favorite drawing? MY HEADER IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.
*Favorite black and white? MY HEADER DUH. But I also like the one of Tristan even though he's gonna kill someone. Don't you do dat.
*Do you agree with my baseball shirt assessment? Yep.
*Do you have a quote about October that I haven't heard? No. But I do know that last year you used that gif at the beginning of this on this day and said basically the same thing. XD THAT IS VERY FUNNY FOR ME.
Also, shout out to the pumpkin drawing because it is stinking adorable.
m'kay I'm out.
ARE YOU USING MKAY BECAUSE OF MHEEEE?????????
Delete*IT WILL BE, BUT I'M NERVOUS TO COLOR IT MKAY?
*..... I will always be baffled that that one is the favorite this week. I DON"T LIKE THAT PIC. (He might possibly end up killing someone. After that someone... kills his bff.)
*YASS
*You're kidding. *looks it up* OH MY GOODNESS I DID. *eyeballs you* How do you even know that. How did you remember that ??
ISN'T IT? I WAS LIKE IT'S PRETTY, SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!
mkay me too
Yes to baseball shirts and an army of babies! I love that last drawing soooo much!! :)
ReplyDeleteYessss, baseball shirts are the most awesome of all. lol. (And yes to babies. Give me all the babies.) Awww thank you! That one was my favorite this week! :)
DeleteOHMY;AZJESJ!DGJYDA:FEDUG;HYDA;OIFUH just. baseball shirts. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY I LIKE THEM SO MUCH. BUT DUH. SHOULDERS.
ReplyDeleteOverall I think my favorite picture is the one of Tristan from the back. The one with the gun? SO PRETTTTTTTTTY. And baseball shirts.
Favorite black and white--TRISTAAAAAAAAAN!
Baseball t-shirts. YAAAAAAAAAS Whenever I see a guy wearing a baseball shirt, I'm always like BAE!! No matter who they are but yeah.
I LOVE FALL! I like November just as much as October, but they're both fantastic. It smells so good and the leaves are so pretty and people wear baseball shirts! YAY! :)
~D. Skye <3
AASDFADSFAS;FDLASDKFJASDLFK AI LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE USE THE "KEYBOARD SMASH" IT JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY. and obviously it's the shoulders. XD
Delete..........THAT HORRIBLE PICTURE IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS BACK. But thank you.
YAAAAAAAAAAAP.
Yes! ME TOO OMG, THANK YOU FOR DOING THE SAME THING!
I LOVE FALL TOO, EVEN THOUGH I STILL DON'T LIKE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES AT STARBUCKS. By november here, though, the leaves are all off the trees, and I don't like bare trees. so.... BUT YEAH THE BASEBALL SHIRT TREND MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER.
:) cheers!
I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW HIS BACK LOOKS WEIRD. HE LOOKS PRETTY.
DeleteThe picture above it is really cute too. And so is the one at the bottom. :)
The weirdest is when my guy friends are wearing them. And then I'm like...I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!!! Not to be weird or anything... It gets kind of weird... :/ BUT THEY LOOK SOOOOOOO FANTASTIC!!!!
REALLY? I'm on the East Coast and there are leaves well into November... I do like bare trees, but I like them better when there is snow too. BRIGHT COLORS IS SOO PRETTY. I LIKE PRETTY COLOR THINGS.
~D. Skye <3
I LOVE HOW PEOPLE YELL BACK AT ME ON HERE, IT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY.
DeleteHaha, well thank you. I like those pictures more than "wonky back" man.
*Snort* Well keep telling them that it's a good look, an maybe they'll wear those shirts more often. Because raaaaawr. THEY REALLY DO LOOK FANTASTIC AND IT'S AWESOME.
.... Oh. Really? THAT MUST BE NICE! Because here, we get like... maybe a month of autumn and then BOOM, LEAVES GONE. And since we're in a drought, we haven't been getting snow on them to make them look pretty. So yeah. WHEN IT DOES SNOW, IT'S REALLY PRETTY THOUGH, AND BRIGHT, AND I WILL FREELY ADMIT THAT I LIKE THAT TOO. :D
It takes a while for our leaves to turn, so I guess that might be why they stay around longer.... It can be bad when snow shows up early and the trees are still full of leaves, so you get trees that fall down because the combined weight of the snow and the leaves causes them to snap. The one year that that happened, it wan't very fun.
DeleteENJOY THE COLORS WHILE YOU HAVE THEM!
~D. Skye <3
RIGHT? And all the trees are just bending breaking because *they have too much weight* When that happens, we tend to have to go out and shake the trees. Like we get all bundled up and go around all the leaf trees in the yard and just shake them til the snow falls. *headdesk*
DeleteTHANK YOU I WILL
OCTOBBEEERRR!!!!!! It is wonderful, I love it. That chilly fall breeze that makes you want to yell, “SUMMER’S OVVEEERRR!!!!!” ‘Cept here in Texas, it still feels like summer. DAT CRISP OCTOBER BREEZE DOH. IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I love Fall.
ReplyDeleteHm a face lift could be interesting.
Heehee I can relate to your way of coping with rainy days…that’s all I end up doing, too. XD
Fav pic…..the baby one. Because it’s just too adorable for words. :) Something about pics of expectant couples makes me melt inside. It’s sweet. :D (AND HE’S WEARING A BASEBALL SHIRT!)
YOUR BASEBALL SHIRT ASSESMENT IS VERY CORRECT! BASEBALL SHIRTS ARE DAH BEST!!!!! I have one and I love it way too much. Guys should wear baseball shirts all the time. That would please me greatly. Because guys look exceptionally good in baseball shirts.
Fav overall pic….because I must answer these out of order….either the couple in which guy has reddish-orange Octobery baseball shirt or baby one. They’re both adorable. XD
-Evie
YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS! Hahahaha. Me too. The only thing I'm not wild about is that you're either, "mmmm too cold, or mmmmm too warm, and there's no in between.
DeleteYeah, I think I'm gonna. :)
*knuckle bump for laziness during gray days*
MINE TOO. OKAY! I was really happy with the way that one turned out. (I know, expectant couples make me die a little from adorableness. AND HE IS WEARING A BASEBALL SHIRT!!!!!!!! YOU NOTICED!)
EVERYONE SEEMS TO AGREE WITH THE BASEBALL SHIRT ASSESSMENT AND THAT MAKES THIS LITTLE POTATO VERY HAPPY. I know, me too. I went out and got like four of them, and that's pretty much all I wear. lol. They should! IT'S VERY STYLISH AND PRETTY. (Guys really do. omg)
YOU PICKED MY FAVORITES TOO. I LOVE YOU!
okay bai.
APPARENTLY I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T REMEMBER DOING THAT LAST YEAR LOL.
ReplyDeleteOHMYGOODNESS NOOOOO. TOO MUCH TIME GOES BY TOO FAST.
(Five seconds!? ARE YOU A TIME TRAVELER?)
I don't want to grow up either, *high five* DON'T GO DOWN THAT ROAD. ABORT ABORT.
Thanks, I like that my sentiment has been echoed by you guys. ;) (Tristan has fabulous shoulders, and don't you forget it.) *wink*
