Picture Saturday-- The Rise of the Baseball Shirts.

Hey look, this isn't posted super late this time! I'm fabulous.

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.

This is for Hannah's blog header.

 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. 

Picture Saturday: 100 Cupboards, Raven Boys, and autumness

So, I'm wearing a lot of make up today.

I was bored. 

Hi.

I've given up on trying not to use "so" in my beginning sentences, because that word is apparently my favorite, and when I try not to use is my mind goes kaput.

So.

This Picture Saturday does not have as many 100 Cupboards drawings as I would like, but it does have some. (I want to draw all  the characters because they have such interesting descriptions!) But I didn't manage it this week. I shall try for next time. As it is all I have are Henry and Henrietta.

Alrighty, let's get this partay started!

1.) Le Henry. (the little stinker grew up a lot between book one and book two so I need to redo him, and make him look older now.)

 2.) Le Henrietta.

 3.) Le Henry.

 4.) Le Henrietta

 5.) Le Henry picture that I really like and am proud of the way the subtle colors look.

 6.) Le Henrietta being stupid and Henrietta-ish.

And that's it for 100 Cupboards this week. Next week I'll have more. :)

7.) Le doodles of Darcy from Haphazardly Implausible

8.) Le Darcy being Darcy.

 9.) Le Shocked Expression Test.

 10.) RONAAAAAAAAAN!

11.) Le one that I did when I was like, "I'M SO HAPPY IT'S OCTOBERRRR!"

 12.) Le li'l reading person.

13.) And finally, Le Singing Guy Who Is Very Cute.

 Ba dum pum. (That's a drum roll. Say it. See?)

And now I must say so long. Farewell. That-German-word. Goodbye.

I love you all. *cyber embrace of friendship.*

I need to comment on blogs.

Cheers!

Lifey stuff

I.
Miss.
WiFi.

And that's the last I'm going to complain about it. 

GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS. IT'S OCTOBER THIRD. THERE'S A GIF FOR THAT. HOW PERFECT IS LIFE??!

It's been a good sort of week... month... Can you believe it's October?! It's freaking October. I'm appalled at how quickly this year seems to be going.

 It's absurd, really.

But anyway. October always makes me feel happy. I don't even know what it is about this month. Nothing special happens during it. It's just October. But I love it. I love the way the leaves change color, the sharpness in the air, the anticipation for winter. (I don't like Winter, but I like the anticipation of it.) I love wearing my warmer clothes, because they're cuter than my summer clothes. I love how it puts me in the mood to be extra crafty. I love how it makes me feel like Christmas is just around the corner. (AAAAAAAAAH CHRISTMAS!! I've already planned most of my Christmas pressies, because I can afford to buy pressies this year.) I love how it makes me want to take walks and buy Starbucks, and maybe try a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I really, really want to go to Hope Valley again. 

I'm really happy right now.

I think.
I'm mostly really happy, and then I'll have days and moments where I'm incredibly homesick and stuff.

But right now, I'm really very happy.

Anyway, life update.

Yeah.

Amy and I went to Carson and did some shopping. I was great googles of fun, and we chortled way too much.

For example, we were in hysterics when my chocolate bar melted into liquid. 

It was priceless.... even though it really wasn't. 

We laughed most of the way home too. It was just a really nice, laid back sort of day, which we both really needed.

And I totally bought this shirt. It's ridiculous how happy it makes me.

And I took this really fabulous picture on the way home. (Yeah, I know. I'm like... so insanely modest about it.)

I told God that if He didn't make me go to Jury Duty, I would buy Him flowers. He didn't make me. I bought Him flowers.

We went to Circus Circus after Mass on Sunday, which was brilliant bushels of fun. This entailed on the road selfies, which Tiny ruined with bunny ears.

So I became Karma.

 I'm not usually one for arcades, but this one is fabulous. (Also, because of the lighting in that place, the following pictures are somewhat.... grainy.)

We started out by going to the brunch buffet which is tradition.

Chloe

Annie refused to stop eating for the picture, so she gets an embarrassing one, because that's the kind of sister I am. *le grin*

Annie, Tiny

Katrina, Bella, Mahri, Dad

And then we have Chloe, who does not appear to be having copious amounts of fun. Like what's wrong with her??!

Joe, Chloe, Amy, Sammi

MEEEEEEE. And Amy who decided randomly that she needed to be in the picture.

And Kat. Who's always cute.

The arcade was really fun. We played games. I won a very soft, but decidedly unattractive gorilla which I now have on my bed. Because it's soft.

Me, gorilla, Amy

We watched some really awesome shows that were just cool. Like this one.

Those dogs, that little man... just on a different day. :) (Except, at ours, two of the dogs came over to visit us. Twice. I don't think they were supposed to do that. It was awesome.)

Amy, Kat

It was really fun.

Annie, Bella, Tiny

I just really want a giant air hockey table, okay!? 

It was such a nice day. Exhausting, but really nice.

I have some cool blog post ideas coming up.

I think I need to do a review on Raven Boys.

But Grimm first, because we caught up and it's... just.... unnnngggh. When is season four!?

Sorry it's been taking so long to get back to your comments. I DO reply! Check, check, check! :)

Picture Saturday is postponed until next week.


And now I must go.

Must must!

Cheers, and God bless, and thank goodness for days off.
