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!

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 Saturday || March {1}

Hey, it's only been two weeks this time!

Treskie is very proud. 

Not a whole lot this week, but man, it's blasting with color, so that's pretty awesome!

Can you believe it's already Lent? *Shakes head in disbelief* I remember being little and thinking how long it took for a whole year to go by. And now? (Now, that I'm soo old..) I feel like I just got back from Montana, but that will have been a year ago at the end of this month. 

Time is passing like crazy, and I'm falling behind trying to keep up. Uuuugh. 

Why yes, it's been a rough week, why do you ask?

Anyway!

PREPARE!

For the most AVERAGE ART, 

You will EVER SEE.

*Cue thunderous applause*

1.) I don't draw blonde hair very often, so here you go. (Do you see the sparkles on her dress? DO YOU?)

2.) This is the one I drew when I was sad and feeling vaguely betrayed. Can you tell? The grey background is a bit much, isn't it...

3.) This horrific one that I'm like... "I HAD SUCH GLORIOUS VISIONS FOR YOU, WHAT WENT WRONG?!" *Scowling Treskie noises*

4.) This sketch that I liked much better in my mind than on paper. 

5.) Look at this cute Steampunk girl inspired by this picture. (Because my favorite person sent it to me as an inspiration and I went, "OoooOOOOooooh.")

6.) Also this sassy gun-totin' girl, who's totally awesome even though I drew her super late and didn't actually care.

7.) Wherein Treskie discovered the universe...

8.) And then proceeded to go nuts...

Haha, so there you go! I suspect universes are going to be a big thing for me for a while, which is good I guess. It's really fun blending all the colors together.

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best black and white? (or with black and white bits..?)

Favorite colored?

Anything you'd like to see drawn next Picture Saturday?

Got any good music recommendations?

I love you all, and God bless!

#Notdead || 2016 Roundup

Hello, people of the internet! 

You are all so awesome to have not abandoned this blog, even though the blogger did. You are good, kind people, and I love you all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, by the way! How did you all spend it?

I shall be considerably better at blogging from now on, I have been quite literally run off my feet with socializing over December.

ANYWAY, it's time for my annual end-of-the-year tag, and it's gonna be fun!

1.) What did you do in 2016 that you’d never done before?

     2016 was actually a whole year of firsts for me. I flew by myself, I went to Front Sight, I bought a gun, I went on a boat, I cut my hair, I went mini-golfing....

Crazy year. lol.

 2.) Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make one this year?

    Pshaw.

3.) Did anyone close to you give birth?

24.) How did you/are you spending New Year’s?

       Okay, this was one of the best New Year's I've celebrated in a while. We were having a Lord of the Rings marathon with Sammi, and so we watched RoTK at her house on New Year's Eve, and it finished at like 4 minutes to midnight... (I know, the timing was perfection.)

So we poured champagne, counted down to the New Year, hooted on noise makers, and popped poppers.

I did some fancy relationship changing on facebook and it was really really awesome. 

25.) Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?

I'm 21 years old.

34.) How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2016?

       It's called classy-cas..? I dunno, I just threw that out there. There were many maxi skirts.

42.) Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

        "I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song: It's a better place since you came along."(Better Place, by Rachel Platten.)

         And then probably, "You crossed the line too many times, I'm gonna put you in your place. You play with dynamite don't be surprised when I blow up in your face." (Done, by the Band Perry.)

       

43.) Five personally significant events of 2016:

       1. Art.

       2. Bought a Glock.

       3. Visiting my fantastic sister, and fantastic brother-in-law, and their fantastic kids.

       4. Found myself this cupcake of a lad. He's awful dear.

       5. Went to Front Sight.

44.) Five things I want to do in 2017:

        1. Art.

        2. Visit my sisters.

        3. Visit the boyguy. (Inside joke, sorry.)

        4. Get my concealed carry license.

        5. Front Sight

45.) Five people I’d like to know better in 2017:

        This question kills me every year. I can't figure out how to answer it because there are never five people that I actually want to get to know. At the moment, there's only one. 

 And that, my dears, sums up my 2016. 

2016 was simultaneously one of the best and worst years of my life. It started out great, sucked big time* over the summer, and then got better again. 

*I mean. BIG TIME. 

But so far, no year has managed to top 2012 for absolute suckiness so hurray!

I'm looking forward to 2017, it might actually be an awesome year. 

Alright everyone!

Question Time!

Best gif usage?

What did you do for New Year's?

Can you answer at least three of the tag questions for me? I'm interested!

You can expect a Picture Saturday for the first time in freaking ages. 

I love you all!

And here's to 2017! I hope it's wonderful for all of you.
