Excuse me, but don’t you concur that vests on Toa are quite dashing?

Deeplink Ahaha yeah… that’s what should had happened in the Destiny War podcast. >:[ I’m obviously very smad, cause I loved our dear Ancient and now TSO just killed off his bestest friend. I used to like TSO and his recent anti-hero behavior… But what he did was just wrong man. I mean seriously, it’s almost as bad as stealing your friends Popsicle on a hot day… or throwing a banana on the ground for him to slip on. You just can’t go around killing your buddies! *Shakes head sadly*

I'M SO SERIOUS.

... I think I have artist block.

I got my tablet, I got my tablet!! Its sooo much better than I expected, this is probably the best thing I've bought all year, and this thing is worth $70. Awww man, it's so nice, and the size is just fine(I was worried about that), pressure sensitivity is ftw, it's nice and small...and the best part is I didn't spend any money on shipping and yet it came in like 3 days. I haven't tried colors yet but here's a drawing that I like a lot: (It's my friend’s character from an RPG^) But, OMG OMG OMG OMG! I love this thing! If any of you artists want a good tablet but don't want to spend too much, get this one, it is winnar. I am still not fully used to it, so it might take me a another week or so to get the full hang of it, but already this thing is great. <3 Also, sorry that I've been slow with PMs. >< I'll get around to catching up soon....when I'm not playing with my tablet.

My internet has been going outrageously slow; especially when it comes to uploading things on brickshelf/maj. It’s ridiculous. Anyway, anyone remember that draft I showed of 08 Lewa and Tanma? Well I found it in my brickshelf and completely forgot to show the completed versions. Whoops. o_o Even for concept art, the proportions and colouring is all off, sorries. Dx And yes, I have one snazzy drawing (OMG IT'S GOING TO BE REEL BIONICLEZ) for GA soon, and then... well... art topic ahoy?

...Gotcha didn't I? *gets shot* The purpose of the title is the name of a new Short Story I just posted which has been hiding in the depths of my computer, and I finally made myself post it. It seemed like a good time and all, hearing about the hot buzz concerning BL11. Linky Enjoy guys, and don't worry about GitS. An update will come soon; I just wanted to work on some other stuff.

Yeah I blame you. Aprons too I suppose. But seriously, he's just too cool not to draw, everyone loves our dear Mutran! Since you totally inspired me, this picture is dedicated to you, Uncle Khote. Link Concept art and all, so I will probably change around a few things... Just don't tell me to remove the apron. Mutran must has apron. <3 EDIT: And though this is concept art, a lot of the offs in this picture are about to drive me mad. Thanks for pointing out flaws guys, I'm gunna fix it asap. ^^

*Is only 8 hours from Brickfair and is missing out. ;;* Well, in other news today I have discovered that watercolours are not as evil and annoying as they appear. It's Takua! I wanted to give him browner hair and the backgrounds, but I had trouble with some colours. It being so watery… and all you know. So I thought it best to leave it be. Boo, his neck is too long. I wish I noticed that before I coloured it. :/ And yes, yes, I am working on actual Bionicle drawings... someone please tell me to stop starting new drawings, it's not helping me at all with older stuff. xDDDD

Maybe you guys can be a bit better than Swert and BCJ with guessing who these guys are. (LOL HE'S NOT GALI SWERT ) These are drafts for some Human Bionicle artwork. These two characters are actually on separate pieces of paper and in a Character Sheet, but I decided to merge the two main pictures so you guys could see. Like I said, tis a work in progress and some things may change. (For example, the right guy's hairdue probably will have to change because it's off character. :/) The designs are pretty much fail with both design and proportions even if the final version is supposed to look 'sketchy/drafty'. ...but hey I did art, Human Bionicle art! I got a bunch more stuff, both HB and Original Bionicle, hopefully I can show final stuff in real topics soon.

Link My profile just went over 9000 profile views. So, I actually drew Bionicle, and they are actually official. Omg yay for me! =D Even though this insane sketch dump is supposed to be doodles, I'm very sorry if some of the characters look off or just plain terrible. It's very hard to draw all the guys by memory or pictures. The only set I have out of this drawing is Kopaka! Oh and another thing, I think I'm getting back in the habit of drawing Bionicle. If life doesn't get to crazy and my inspiration in Bionicle art stays okay, I'll see about remaking an art topic. But you guys need to help me out and make sure it lasts longer than a week. ... And yes, food was on my mind when drawing this.
-
Oh snap, I actually posted some art. Link

Yaaaayyy! Now if moving or the sort doesn't get in the way, I hope to be entering. I really hope I do okay, cause being truthful here guys, my Bionicle art has not been so great lately. This statement is not being I am being humble or in a sad mood, but it’s the truth. My style has been very bumpy lately, I don’t see much improvements or anything good. It just doesn’t feel right to me. If you guys have any suggestions or critique about what I could do to fix this problem, please tell me, even if it may be rude. I need to know. Something’s been off for a bit in my style or it’s ‘missing’ something that I usually do…or maybe all of this is me just overreacting, or I’m just like this because I haven’t done much art lately… Whatever it is, help?

Happy belated birthday Omicron. I've been meaning on drawing you some FF stuff for so long, and still I haven't done the specific art I wanted to. ...And yeah, it doesn't look like Balthier. Blame the style? Sorry I didn't make it that good Omi, I'll draw you a better one sometime. And to those who didn't know, I gave this to Turakii for her birthday: Link Simply put, drawing with just colored pencils can be both fun and terribly hard.

Some few things I'd like to point out and this is important: 1. I am no longer taking requests. At ALL. Sadly, this means I am going to discontinue any requests I have going, or that are in my list. I just don't have time to do it anymore and it's just dead weight hanging in the back of my mind. I'm REALLY sorry to the requesters and I'll try to get around to personally PMing them and apologizing. The only requests I will be doing is one from Beliwa, and finishing an art-trade with Ranna. 2. I am not going to finish my 'Toa of Nations' project. I just don't have time to deal with a bunch of countries nor try to figure everything out when I got a bunch of other projects going. I know this is disappointing, especially to the people who were excited to see their countries drawn out. I though, might get around to drawing a few though in all due time, but I probably will never finish the 25 that I planned to do. 3. Right now I’m not accepting art-trades, I’m trying to finish up Ranna’s now and after that I’ll consider thinking about it, but I probably will only accept it with close friends. 4. Considering accepting commissions though (paid requests), but once again lack of time might even stop me from doing that. 5. Even if I don't accept requests now, I will always be happy to hear your suggestions or ideas on what I can draw, Bionicle or not. ---- As you can see it’s mainly time and a million other projects that are taking its toll on my art, another factor is I draw much faster, better and I have more fun when I *want* to draw stuff. While requests are fun, they really are not worth it most of the time. Once again, sorry guys. I’ll try to post this in my art topic soon too.

I just ordered a Bamboo Wacom! 8D Sorry Necro, I was too impatient and I think I made the right choice, though I might had found a cheaper one, I just decided to grab a good one for a fair price instead of risking wasting my money on a crummy one. Every artist out there says wacoms are the best anyway. But anyway... YAY! Mmmh...I seem I had something else to say, but I forgot what. Oo

OMG. I FINALLY....GOT...TO FINISHING THIS! >_< Arrgghhhh I'm sorry guys. D: Anyway, this chapter is about style, and finding it...and a bit more ranting on various subjects, and then, I promise we'll get to drawing in part 3. Oh, btw. When I start to talk about styles, I decided to link to a few various artists’ drawings to kind of show what I mean about different techniques and stuff; I hope that's ok guys? If not I'll remember to PM for permission first...but I of course gave credit to the artist. Another thing, this is a short entry, but I needed to update...so...enjoy! Art Tutorial by Lady Kopaka Part 2: Quick Discussion on styles and the similar. Well now I believe it is time for another Art Tutorial to come up. Last time I just talked about supplies and my opinions on it; today I will discuss your style and preparing to draw. Firstly, every artist has their style; even if it is similar to other artists you will always have a unique look. (Now unless you totally just want another artist’s style, and just trying to copying it perfectly.) So as I am pointing this to most beginner artists, I bet you are wondering what is YOUR style? Have you tried drawing and are just unsure? Well that is something you should play around with yourself; find a style that you are comfortable with, best at and what you like. Looking at various art to give you inspiration, or maybe you have this totally new look for art? Go right ahead, art shouldn’t be caged it, it needs to be free for even the craziest ideas. Don’t just change your technique because a few people you know say it might look better another way; they may be right, but usually it is just an opinion. I always get this; people say sometimes my Bionicle look to human at times, but I like my look and I draw best that way, but don’t just ignore opinions, you could improve greatly just because someone suggested something about your drawings. Back to styles themselves, and since this is mainly a Bionicle tutorial: Set style: –Art by Bioni-Cool Jack This is pretty basic; you stay strict to the sets and usually don’t add your own add-ons like expressions and hands. This one can be basic but very nice and popular among Bionicle fans because you don’t have to stretch your imagination for this, but it can get technical with all the detail. Movie style: – Art by Nikira Not seen as much, but like the title says you draw pretty much close to the movie style as you see in the 3 Bionicle movies. My styles in my first pieces of art were very close to like in the Movies, and then later I changed it around. But it can still be seen through my new art. This is a good way to mix in expressions and a set look if you want to avoid too much of an organic look. A lot of times, many artists will use the basic movie look, but add certain things like eyes, hands, etc that make it look more manga or human. Human style: – Art by Brave_Dragon Now this one can be organized as many different styles in one sense. You could draw a Bionicle completely human, and the only way of knowing it is based off of Bionicle is by the Bionicle armor or weapons, and even by the facial appearance of the character. Another is adding human attributes to a Bionicle body; like eyes, hands, mouth, and so on. Other: – Art by Schizo Kaita Now there are many other interesting looks I could point out, like organic looks which in one sense look alien; neither a Bionicle body nor human, but it is a Bionicle by certain notices like armor, weapons, mask, etc. I have seen this style many times by artists and even though it looks different, it is very good and creative. Then of course, there are artists who mix up many styles all together, I do that often—In fact I try my best on testing a bunch of different techniques. And then of course there are other ways to draw, maybe you could fit in a Manga look? A realistic feeling? Abstract almost? But that is where you will have to come in and find what best fits you. (On a quick note before beginning about art, I would suggest for everyone who is interested in art, do not just jump ahead in anime/manga. I know, it is a popular style, it’s very cool. But it can confuse you and mess up proportion in some sense, I would suggest for every artist to at least learn a bit of the basics of drawing and realistic drawings for the sake of the future of proper art and yourself. Sometimes people are natural about manga, other times they just do it because it is simply easy. If you want to become an artist, have a bit of a wider mind than just manga, please.) So, bottom line is, before really getting serious on drawing, just take some time to look at other artists work, try to find your ‘inner’ self. Feel free to express yourself, and just have fun! --- (If I have any grammar mistakes, and so on, I'll get right back to this and fix up stuff, sister is kicking me off right now)

*shuffles in* I...FINISHED MY AC14! *Triumph anime pose* Link to topic! Now post and make me happy. =3 Well… you don't have to, but it would really make me feel better...I is all tired and stressed. So I’m very happy I got this out of the way, I probably would had done better or enjoyed the drawing more if I wasen’t so busy and stuff...

Thanks for the hugs and stuff guys, it really made me feel better. And so, I hate to be the one that will say something and then something terrible happens in my life..."I spoke too soon.", but right now life is going very well, besides crazy school hours, chores and Drivers ED coming up, I've had a lot of time to do my stuff. I went through a bunch of my art today and found lots of cool stuff. Old, but cool. But hopefully I'll have some more art up within a week or so, and then AC is coming up... yay. I need a tablet though. I did that with Photoshop yesterday out of boredom (my fingers huwt ;_, and so encouraged further computer art interest from within me. So I went searching around the internet, and found a Graphics Tablet for $50 bucks. I'm not sure if I'll get it, but I'll keep looking for another few weeks, read reviews and stuff...If any of ye artists have tablet suggestions, (UNDER $70 ><) it would be nice. Yay artz. =D

I'm running out of tissue. D= *Sneezes*…Gack! Well, tomorrow is Saturday. THANK MATA NUI. >< I'm getting tired of mom and dad bugging me for the past week to finish all my school...let me tell you it's really hard to do school when your brain is all fried and when you have a bad cold. Hopefully I can sleep late! And so, with not much else to say but I would like to update...I'll entertain you guys with some art. One of my friends that I have in an epic...Isn't he so cute? Oh yeah, if any of you artists who actually have talent in CG, coulda give me any tips? I feel that my stuff doesn't look right...or flat...something is bugging me, or I'm not improving rightly. EDIT: ARGGGHHH! AVATAR COMES ON TONIGHT. 8O Someone PM me and tell me how it goes. ;_; I don't have cable!

Haha, it's so hard to stay off BZP. Anyway, quick entry, I couldn't wait a single second not to show this... Thanks for all the chocolate, hugs and mainly just girl talk Nikira. I award you with this lil' Penguin! EDIT: NP claimed to have killed Nikira's Penguin! =O Don't worry, I'll use Phoenix Down...*Revives* There, all better! Don't hug the picture to hard!

Current Mood: Currently Listening To: Fallen Man - Relient K About to do: School Fallen Man is my current fav Relient K song. It’s great. I don't have much time since I really should be starting school now, but that can wait after a needed entry. I updated my art if none didn't know. So far I am pretty happy on this update; there is nothing much I hate in it. And I love how Kalmah came out. Though I might say now; where are those 4 doods? Well, I'm sorry Phy, Raka and Beliwa. That will have to be held a bit longer I am afraid. You see, the version 2 for the Cross group picture was going SO WELL. And not only that but I practically used up a lot of my prismacolor markers on it. And then I just had to rush last night....and it looks really bad now. ;-; So I'll probably will have to do a redo on that drawing; or with a chance I can fix it on Photoshop, not sure, we will just have to wait and see what will happen. But still, I'm very depressed about that. Anyhow, now that I made everyone happy with an update, I can now focus on some work Swert needs me on. This will take about a month if I don’t rush like I usually do! >< Oh and sorry I missed you on Yahoo Aanchir, I got on around at 9 cuz' my sister didn't let me on....So yeah. Ok....*Goes off to do school*

Current Mood: Um...Good? Currently Listening To: The Foggy Dew - The Chieftains About To Do: School I updated my art. Yay me. But I still no likey my art. '-' Don't look at me like that! Why are you staring at me? ... OK, FINE. I'll go open the request list...Be that way! EDIT: I had a weird dream where I met President Bush and he told me he liked my hat. It was cool! (I thought it was really happening at first)

What's YOUR quote? Ok anyway, I was having fun making banners, so I decided to make one with a quote I liked in it...Then I go, "Hey it would be cool to do requests like this!" So yeah...Post a quote you like in the comment thingy, and I will make the banner for you. I'll do colors, font, size available for choices, but nothing to fancy. But if this line gets long, please be considerate for me. XD Don't forget to give credit. Also make sure quotes are not to long. EDIT: Here is the link for all the current quote banners, feel free to take any you see, though I remind you that some of these were requested by certain members, while some were made by me.

Mood: Ego boost'd Currently Listening To: The Brothel - Prince of Persia The Two Thrones Soundtrack Currently Doing: Nothing Homg, I posted fast. But I like how it ended up...I really need to use watercolor more often. And so far I have gotten decent good(No, they were good) reviews, this is one of my few drawings that has not that many flaws...or in my opinion. So wish me luck, and here is the link to the topic! And I need a shower. My hair is all messy and gross and stuff like that. Oo EDIT: Look under this entry.
