Picture Saturday - Randomness

Coming up with titles is hard, guys.

I get stuck on "Picture Saturday" and then I can't think of anything else to describe it, ya feel me?

It was really warm this week, which simultaneously made me really happy and a little disturbed, because when it's this warm in March, it usually means we get a ton of snow in June.... No one likes snow in June. June is supposed to be warm!

Right now it's super grey outside.

Grey days make me have three kinds of moods: 1.) I get really crafty and artsy, and I want a billion cups of tea. 2.) I get incredibly restless and want to take a walk or spar with Amy. 3.) I get a bit moody and have no energy, and binging on TV shows seems like the thing to do.

I'm currently a bizarre mixture of all three. I want to do stuff, but I also don't want to do anything. It's very confusing.

Choices. 


So here's what I worked on this week, drawing wise.*

*You don't seem very excited, what's wrong with you?!

1.) I finally saw Big Hero 6 last Sunday. It was adorable and fun, and sad, and I cried like three times. (Judge not until you see it, okay?) I'd probably rank it just under How To Train Your Dragon. It made me feel things. Terrible things. lol. I won't lie, Hiro's hair was so cute, I love little boys to have hair like that. I like messy kid hair.

Anyway, yes, I recommend it, it's cute. I came home after I saw it and had to sketch a fist bump, because bah-la-da-la-da-la-da!

 2.) And then, because Baymax is really easy, I had to doodle some more. (Hiro, not so much, but shhh, I didn't have a reference picture.)

 3.) Seriously, Baymax is adorable.

 4.) We played basketball, and failed miserably. (Soooo miserably: Six or seven of us played, and over the course of an hour we probably got a basket... like... 6 times? In our defense, we don't like to do things the easy way, so we were really far away from the hoop, with the hoop being on one side of the yard and us at the other. Nevertheless, it was embarrassing.)

This prompted sketching.

 5.) .... yeah.

 6.) Random Irish guy.

 7.) Creepy pose of stretch.

 8.) Pirate lady, who's waist is incredibly small-- I blame it on the corset. *Shifty eyes*

 9.) The one I finished and went "Whut."

 10.) We did something that got me back in the mood to learn self-defense, and I spend a goodly while doodling boxers.

11.) Because boxing doodles are fun.

12.) And then I promptly binged on FightTIPS* videos on youtube and figured I might as well draw that logo.

*Really fun to watch and you learn a lot. 

I'm very proud of that logo.


13.) This inspired more boxing sketches.

14.) I drew a character for Hannah a few weeks ago, and she was like, "I love it, but can you make his 'fro... bigger?" And apparently this 'fro gives the guy an extra five or six inches in height, so I gently reminded her that I suck at drawing afros. But I gave it my best shot.....

'FROS SUCK! I failed. I hate drawing 'fros, they are terrible and it looks like... I don't even know what he has on his head but it's not hair. I found something I fail at.

Treskie cannot draw afros. 

15.) Moving on quickly, we have Richard, which is also from Hannah and Jess's book. He's a twelve or thirteen year old hyperactive genius, and I don't know what it was about him, but I imagined him with giant circle glasses. Hannah insists that he does not, in fact, wear these, but my imagination says he does, so... He wears glasses. I insist.

Treskie has spoken. 

16.) Finally, on our list of delightfully disturbing drawings by Treskie, we have the next installment of

Project My Little Pony Humanized!

But because Princess Celestia doesn't get a whole lot of screen time, I don't know her that well, and hence, she only gets one picture.

Princess Celestia is... billowy.

Seriously, she can be standing completely still and in an enclose space with no wind, and she's billowy.

It's magical.

Surprisingly enough, I actually like the way she turned out. I know she's not exactly the way people imagine her, but I ended up not violently wanting to destroy the drawing, so there's that. What think you?

I took a break halfway through this post and went on a hike. It was quite delightful.

And with that, I shall leave you all, with many hugs and kisses and whatever you humans do when you say goodbye.

Cheers!

So this.... Happened.

In my last post, I mentioned that a couple things happened last week that made me go, "Wow. I'm blessed, hawt dang!"

I didn't talk about them really because I didn't have pictures. But now I do! SO! I'mma tell you.

The first good thing that happened... Was actually a week and a half ago. But anyway, I ordered a bracelet and it didn't arrive when it was supposed to, (no big deal, misunderstanding. I was actually fine with it.) But when the package arrived, I opened it up, and besides the bracelet there was also this necklace with my name on it.

MY NAME WAS ON A NECKLACE AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND IT SORT OF MADE MY WEEK.

thanks, dear. :)

And then Kit, Amy, and I got lifetime Front Sight memberships for free. Those things cost a fortune usually, and because we know people we got them for free. It was so awesome! FRONT SIGHT.

All the happy!!!!

I'M GONNA SHOOT STUFF. WHOOOOOOOOOO!

Another epic thing was that we finally freaking got WIFI.

 FINALLY

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm not gonna lie, after the guy who figured out why it wasn't working left, I did a little dance of joy in our flat because... we haven't WiFi for a good, um... six months, and that's a long time, folks. So yeah, I can finally blog at my own place and the novelty of this makes me flail a little.

But hands down, the best thing that happened last week was the biggest shock. 

Let me set it up for you, kay?

It was almost closing time at the flower shop, and Amy and I were the only ones there, getting ready to start locking doors and doing the cash out. I peered outside and I saw my brother's car pull in to the parking lot, followed like five seconds later by this lovely Land Rover Discovery, (Which.... as most of you know, are kind of my dream cars.)

So anyway, people pile out and Joe came in with Maria, and Kat, and Jess (who's cute). He hands Amy and I this little package, and inside are two sets of keys.

Yeah, you guessed it. My brother, (who is more awesome than your brother) bought us a Landy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGH!

WE HAVE A LANDY. AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND SHINY AND.... OURS.

It was seriously the most unexpected and insane thing that's ever happened to me..... And it took me a little while to wrap my head around it. Just... still kind of speechless. How do you even go about being properly thankful for that?

Meet Jarvis. 

Jarvis is beautiful. 

Jarvis is fabulous, even when we have to put gas in it. 

Jarvis is our precious!! AAAAAAH, I'm still just sort of having a hard time comprehending that he's ours.

So.. ehem. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Joey! Best surprise ever! You are the coolest and most awesome big brother ever, and... and....! Just yes. Love ya. :)

Did anything good happen to you guys lately, or am I alone in my happiness? Let me knoooow.


Cheers!

Picture Saturday - The lazy one

It was one of the best weeks, guys.

SO MANY AWESOME THINGS HAPPENED.

Buuut I'm not telling you what they are until I get pictures so I can illustrate the awesomeness of them.

Suffice to say, this week made me feel very lucky and very loved and yeah, it was great. Epic, even.

More on that in my next post.


Drawing wise, I was lazy this time. I didn't feel like doing anything in depth, I just wanted to sketch. Sketchy sketch. So I did, which means no color this week, but next week for shizzle, I will make beautiful good things.*

*I'm actually not conceited, I just like to pretend I am.


1.) So first we have the, I-don't-know-what-to-draw-I-guess-I'll-do-hugs.

2.) Then we have the how-does-the-human-face-work?

Not like that, I hope. What even.....?

3.) The Hmmm-hugs-are-fun-and-so-is-Steampunk

I don't know who they are or why he's sad, but it's a cute picture, and I love it.

4.) The Oh-yeah-Steampunk-is-really-fun-better-draw-a-girl.

5.) The epic Luka fail. (Luka from Dragon Slippers. He's nice.)

This picture is terrible and makes me want to cry a little.

6.) The Hey-this-Luka-doesn't-suck.

7.) And lastly, the really quick Celestia rough draft which I drew because I felt bad telling Chloe and Sammi that I hadn't drawn her yet. Yes, she is terrifying. No, the final draft will not look so bad.

Aaaand that's it this week, I'm afraid. I wasn't motivated to draw a giant 'fro on a character for Hannah, (though I will get to that, and make his 'fro ginormous, just you wait.)

Next week, I shall try to get Celestia finished and colored.... I'm really excited to draw the humanized version of Discord. Mwahahaha.

Tonight we're going to stay over with some friends and get them addicted to Prison Break, because everyone needs a little extra stress in their life. HA! It's going to be fabulous good time.

FYI, the Pizza Vlog will be up sometime next week, if I can get Bella to get her act together and finish editing it for us. (Love you, Bellaaaa.)

In the meantime, if you want a chance to win an early copy of Jack's Brothers in Arms book, go here to find out the rules. (Good book) If you don't feel the urge to try to win a copy, look at the fanart I did for it here and here and then rethink.

And yeah, good bye. I'm off to watch Kingsmen.

Cheers!

Picture Saturday - Lies

It's Sunday.

Remember what I said about WiFi over the weekend?

LIES.

It was a very disappointing weekend and I am mad.

So.... yeah. The things. I will destroy them.

This whole freaking week was kind of disappointing, actually: Not very many drawings and stuff... so let's get started!

1.) Le Leeli and The-kid-who's-name-temporarily-escapes-me... the later years.

2.) The really quick, really terrible Florid Sword sketch.

3.) The completed death scene.

4.) Doodle-doodle-doodleloo

5.) Le more doodles.

5.) Just finished re-reading Dragon Slippers, so Creel character sketches.

6.) Because Creel is sassmaster.

7.) FAIL

8.) Blue and Gansey from Raven Boys that I'm a little embarrassed about, so.... I ship them. He's going to die and this distresses me.

PROJECT "MY LITTLE PONY" HUMANIZED

9.) Rainbow Dash!!!

10.) She bugs me a little because she's a little IN YOUR FACE, (and she totally sold Fluttershy at one point.) BUT she was fun to draw because rainbow.

11.) She's fast though.

12.) I love this pose.

13.) And lastly the uncolored (aka incomplete one) that I did the other day, and didn't have time to finish.

She's a rebel. Phbbt.

ANYWAY.

I must go watch the last episode of Agent Carter.

I'm really mad that I have no internet.
