Premeditated Misconduct

I have the sexiest werewolf on the planet. LIEKWHOA, hardcore.

( Admire the hotness that is Gabriel Koboyashi, second beast of Revelations, right hand woman/wolf to Satan, assassin, smartass. )

*wibbles, then licks the beastie*
I so need to get cracking on Blessed Be. Gabriel must be written in all of her sexy, sexy glory.

The icon, interstingly enough, is actually a scan from one of Hirano Kouta's earlier pre-Hellsing manga that I cropped and colored to be Gabriel. It was too perfect for me not to.

Time to take a nap!

Well, for the first time in over five years, I've finally begun drawing again. Not those piddling half-realized sketches, not anime-style junk-food portraiture with no backgrounds and half-assed colored with Prang pencils, but REAL drawing. Shading, detail, backgrounds, perspective, symbolism.

I went out and spent 70 bucks on new art supplies: Prismacolor pencils, waterproof India ink, finepoint dip-pens, Micro Pigma markers, camel hair watercolor brushes, tubes of watercolor gouche, a heavy-weight fine-toothed 8x11 drawing pad. Totally worth it, though I actually haven't touched any of it yet (...except to unwrap it from the plastic and gloat over it, sniffing the "new stuff" smell). I wanted to finished the last picture I started with the old before I broke into the new.
And what a picture it is that I just finished! For the for time in years, I sat down an did an entire piece in pointillism-- yeah, I did the whole thing with dots, shading, texture, and all. And it is super-cool.

(And interestingly, I did a brief bored sketch from memory of Theresa-san, and when Julie flipped through my book and saw the sketch, she recognized who it was supposed to be. o.O I don't think it's that good of a likeness...)

And I've got so much homework to do...still working on that #$%&!ing annotated bibliography, but I've go enough done that I think I have plenty of time to find my last six sources and write them up. And I have to remember that I'm on the worship group for Thursday's class, and that I should find some reading or artwork or something to bring. And I really should finish reading Harnack for Historical. And I have to remember to take my sexism collage into class with me on Thursday.
And I want to remember to find a Writer's Market and write down some likely places I can sell some of my older writings both to a) get some money and b) get to say that I actually am published. I want to see if any place will take my photography as well.

And sadly, Tom comes home tonight. Is it wrong of me to hope that bad weather will keep him in Iowa another day?

I suppose I should go get crackin' on my work...

It's freakin' 2 goddamn am, and what does my brain decide to do?

Yeah, you got it... draw Envy in short Daisy-Duke style cut-off shorts. Stupid brain.

He came out surprisingly well considering how badly I suck at drawing the male torso, however, his hair came out waaaayyy different than I intended (trying to correct an inking mistake ended up being most of his hair, which is far more voluminous than it should be), and his head band should be wider. He is also, for some reason I have yet to ascertain, holding what is supposed to be a beach ball.

So I bebopped the last little while away listening to Pogu and occasionally humming "Who wears short shorts?"

I also decided, based off of this, that I now need to draw Lust in a "yellow polka-dot bikini."

Sins at the beach series?
Who the hell knows.

Maybe Envy's grinning at Gluttony's antics-- namely, trying to eat a vacationing family who is also (unfortunately) at the beach.

...

Ok... I'm GOING TO BED NOW.
Before something else seeps into my head.
