another scenery drawing. not very good, but i was practicing
-
i'd love to get to a point in my life where i'd actually start finishing drawings i started. yeah. that would be amazing. click for high res does anyone even remember the characters to guess who is who? i'd love to actually finish this...with all the other drawings of mine that desperately need to be finished...my artistic ideas move faster than my patience. sigh

edit: don't like bumping...but i added kopaka finally... : ) my internet browsing has been kind of dull without bzp...even if i am not super active right now. some updates on life: - had the flu all last week and still pretty sick with stuff - dropping out of college after this semester - actually been drawing (skip down) - spring break started for me - life is stupid anyway, ive been redesigning my HB nuva. just done their facial appearance, and overall these are just rough (but final) sketches pohatu, lewa, tahu, gali, onua, kopaka haven't done kopaka yet...his hairdue is causing me problems. ill try to show that one asap take care everyone

me, actually painting that stuff? it's unheard of. (click for fullview) was testing out some random custom brushes. Took about three hours. Did okay considering I rarely do scenery (and I'd like to change that). It's missing something... Also, new scanner works just fine, which hopefully means I can start showing art more often. Yay? College has been okay; not much homework so far. Hoping it stays this way, I got enough on my plate as it is.

so I'll just show you a pimpin' ancient and a crying TSO. Happy Thanksgiving and stuff.

I'm studying. I swear. But my mind is like "DO SOMETHING WITH THIS IDEA NOW RAWR". All right, fine, you win! Simple question: what would guys think about a [web]comic involving Human Bionicle characters? I have some cool plot ideas I've been wanting to use for a long time, but I'd love to hear what BZP wants/likes/dislikes/etc. Thankees. Doing a comic has been something I've dreamed of doing since I got 'truly' interested in art when I was around 10 or younger. It's now or never. I will continue to work on commissions (which is going fine, but may be a slight lag because of the scanner agggh sorry) and GitS. Am I putting too much on my plate? Yes. But sadly, that's what artists do and it keeps my inspiration pumping. I mean, I can't promise this project will come out tomorrow, but maaan this is a craving worse than my desire for chocolate. That's a big craving. Back to studying about studying...(I really don't get this class??)

Bunch of folks have asked me if I would ever put some of my art back up, so I took the time to upload a lot of art that was originally lost when I was hacked last year. You can find both Bionicle and non-Bionicle here. It's likely the folders won't be public yet, but hang in there. I decided it'd be easier to upload everything via maj. The Bionicle folder is organized by year, from 2007 to 2010 (I left out 05 and 06). Human Bionicle art (08-10) is all in one folder. I didn't upload everything, but the most liked of the collection. Since links in my old art topics don't work anymore, this is the best link you'll find to my stuff. Got any questions on a piece? Feel free to ask...but heaven forbid my old art gets critiqued, haha. Also, if you see a drawing (traditional only) that you like, I may be able to sell you the original, if interested. Still having drama with the scanner concerning newest pieces...anyway, enjoy! EDIT: You guys might want to check back every now and then, I'm still adding some art (and of course, will continue to do so).

I'm feeling really sick so I'm off to bed soon, but needed to post this: Okay, since I finished Vorox Chief’s piece, I’m officially starting back on commissions for everyone again, whoo! If you asked for a commission, you might want to remind me…I only remember Inferna’s. Otherwise, there are four empty spots. And I really will get these done at a humane time (and if I am late, it's because of life/sickness), because this is essential since I’ll be living off of commishes and contracts in the upcoming years. The information is in my content block, fourth one down. So yeah, I really appreciate the support. If you have any questions, just ask here on in PM. Speaking of such, I really do have art to show, promise! Over five drawings! Bionicle too! Blame my scanner. The bugger is slowing everything down. I've also noticed a lot of people wondering where all my oldish art is. If you guys didn't know, when I was hacked last year it was all deleted from maj/brickshelf. I'm currently re-uploading a decent amount and will let you know when they're available. (and don't forget about that contest!)

Nearing a month since my last update...sorry! To be honest, one reason is because there is nothing to update about. No art, writing, exciting life experiences...just been sick and busy with life. Things have just been a drag here, and I'd rather not talk about the hardships. Next week however, VF should be rolling around my area, which I'm quite excited for. Hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of art done at that time. Speaking of art: I draw these three too much, but my fandoms are my only crutch right now to keep up with art/writing. Proportions are off, but when do I ever get them right? HB versions of Lariska, TSO, and Ancient...maybe I'll have the next chapter up soon, or I might enter the Short Story Olympics contest. *shrug* Anyway, that's sorta it...yeah sorry, my blog is pretty lame, I don't know why I have all those views and stuff. Haha. I hope everyone is doing well! As usual: sorry for being lame with PM responding and other duties I have not fulfilled yet. Lastly, any suggestions what I should draw? Throw it at me--Bionicle, Hero Factory, something non-related to LEGO...whatever. Love to hear your input on that and things like styles and mediums to use. That always encourages me to draw more. (I really should draw more action/posing stuff...)

EDIT: I don't usually bump entries, but I'd love to get a few more votes on which epic I should start on. First off, wondering if there would be anyone willing to help me edit Glitch? Hardcore editing not necessary, I just need a second pair of eyes to help me polish it so I can get it properly on BZP again. (can you believe that it’s been around for nearly two years already?) Secondly, decided I am going to post a large-scale epic in the upcoming months. However, I am torn by three ideas (yes, I have asked this before—just trying to finalize stuff) A Glitch in the System sequel.A continuation of Let the Flames Begin, which would be a normal sized epic story.A previous Bionicle fantasy related idea I discarded, but decided to give it a second chance.No need to ask “which one do you prefer?” because I can’t decide myself. I have a drawing to share, I did back in January. Tis' Hewkii, Macku, Jaller, Takua, and Hahli. In acuality, they are not that cartoony, but it's a fun style to draw anyhow. Nothing else to show, excluding the commission I’m doing for Vorox Chief (which I hope I can finish this week). The whole commission thing is on hold though until I can figure out if I can handle it. Sorry.

--that I feel like a monster. It's Zaktan. I actually drew a picture. I haven't done anything beyond doodles since January. I also speedpainted HB Helryx (mainly just practicing semi-realism), and did a rough on a Vorox. In the next week or two, I'll have a pretty spiffy picture of one up. Other than that, it's been a very rough week. I hope this artistic splurge will hang around to keep me company. Currently editing chapter two for Let the Flames Begin, and I unexpectedly got a short story idea--I was inspired by that picture I did of Zaktan. YES ANOTHER ZAKTAN FIC I AM PITIFUL. Have a good evening, everyone.

HOLY SNAPPLES, look, I posted a story, and of all things, a (short) epic. A crummy story, but it's better than nothing...right? I will be super busy this week with school, work and a doctors appointments, so the only stable way to get me is via phone. Dear oh dear, just over a month until I graduate. Thought I had something else to say, but if I think of it I'll bump it in the entry. Afternoon, y'all.

Important: Because of some illogical pricing, I had to go back and fix prices…some things were slightly raised (sorry) but just by a few dollars so things would make sense. This only applies to people who have not paid me yet. Also, can y’all do use this template for further requests? You guys have been really helpful giving me the right references for your art, but this just saves me a lot of time when I have to organize them. Medium: (sketch, ink, colour) Technical: (size of the drawing, how many characters, head shot/waist-up/full, etc.) Description: (information on the drawing itself) Background: (scenery/other) Drawing Style: (anime, realism, comic, etc) Colouring Style: (just needed for coloured pieces) Other: (for those nitpickers) ----- Hi, help. I'm willing to sacrifice time to draw you something so I can buy food and pay off car bills. And I'll throw in a free invisible cookie. All drawings are usually sketched on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper, unless specified otherwise. Pencil (Pencil/Digital sketch) Headshot/Bust - $4 Waist Up - $7 Full-body Single Character - $10 +backgrounds - $3-$7 +extra character/or other - $3-$7 Inked (Ink pens/Digitally inked) Headshot/Bust - $7 Waist Up - $10 Full view Single Character - $13 +background - $3-$10 +extra character/or other - $3-$10 Coloured (Digital/Colour-pencil/Watercolour/Markers) Headshot/Bust - $10-$13 Waist Up - $14-$17 Full view Single Character - $18-$21 +background - $5-$20 +extra character/or other - $5-$15 (note: colour prices vary because of the amount of time, and different styles/materials used) Other Rough sketches - $3-$10 Character Design Sheet - $25 +Base colour (for b&w images) - $3-$7 • Shipping of the original to you is optional; fees on shipping is determined during payment stage, if you wish to have the original.

I accept cash, check, money orders, or paypal. • Prices may differ when discussing your request. It is determined by materials, size, time, and the drawing itself. • While I promise to work hard and diligently, give me some leeway at times. I will be more than happy to fix mistakes, but I cannot overwork myself with nitpicking; I may have to charge extra if this happens. Slots: 1. Raia 2. Jithra 3. TAK the Voyager 4. Vorox Chief 5. Inferna Firesword 6. Spink's Cat 7. Necro If you’d like to bug me with questions, feel I should fix something, or whatever—you’re more than welcome to point it out via PM or comment.

NOT AT ALL. As much as I was hoping December would be a good month, it's shaping to be pretty rough. Ignoring dumb reality issues, I completely ruined a drawing by accident, got so frustrated with trying to repair it a moment ago, I give up. So here's a drawing of (unfinished) HB Glatorians...yeah, I still do that thing. Yay link~ Testing with styles...sorry, I'm still kind of unfamiliar with the characters this year. I'm losing motivation for everything. *nibbles on chocolate in a corner while watching GitS* EDIT: just a quick note...the topic for the Glitch in the System Audiobook is now posted!

Okay, I know I have commissions to do… But I need inspiration! Anything! Agh! My brain is so zonked ‘cause of things, this artist block is terrible! Even when you know you have ideas hiding within you, they won’t come out, and anything you try to draw looks so…ewww. Flusterating, quite infuriating and stressing! Same goes to my writing as well. It's just annoying, because I want to improve and simply enjoy it all, but how can I like this? Do y'all have any advice on killing artist/writers block, and, maybe some suggestions for drawings/projects? I've been rather frustrated with finding my own style, and pinpointing my weaknesses...so helping with that is a plus too. Hopefully I can start showing more art and writings soon. Thanks for dealing with my silly venting, and for any advice.

...for random fun! First person to get my 23,333 profile view—or at least the closest—gets a free sketch! Just screencap and PM me! Congrats to Tifosi92! That really went fast...next time I'll make the kiriban bigger. Anyway, apologizes to you guys that didn't get it. I'll be doing another one in a few weeks! Update, Sept/24/09: Commissions are officially back. Still a lot going on, but I have gotten a hold of some things to handle this again. As I’ve said before, this money is going into savings for college and bill paying, so thank you very much! Current commissions are going well, and at least three are close to being completed. (once I finish this batch, I'll better organize myself so commissions are finished sooner) If you were interested earlier in getting one from me, now is the time to ask about it. --- Pricing is for cleaned/shaded artwork. My standard paper is usually 8.5x11 cardstock. Shipping (if requested for original): (note: this is just an estimate. Shipping is determined by where you live/how large the drawing is) Black & White (Pencil/Digital sketch) Headshot/Bust - Full view Single Character - $ +Simple Background - $ +Complex Background - $ +Extra character/or other - $ Inked (Ink pens/Digitally inked) Headshot/Bust - $ Full view Single Character - $ +Simple Background - $ +Complex Background - $ +Extra character/or other - $ Coloured (Digital/Colour-pencil/Watercolour/Markers) Headshot/Bust - $ Full view Single Character - $ +Simple Background - +Complex Background - +Extra character/or other - --- Guidelines/Rules 1) If your drawing is digital, I usually won’t send out a copy, you can print it out yourself. However, if the drawing is large or you have any problems with printing, we can work something out. 2) I accept pretty much any forms of payment. Cash/check must be USD. Most of the time, I will require you to pay before I begin drawing. 3) Though I will try my best to follow what you want, please give me some leeway at times. I will be more than happy to improve anything during drafting, but I cannot overwork myself with finicky nitpicking. 4) Prices will differ with larger and more unique projects. When I receive a request some pricing may be changed. It is determined by materials, time and the drawing itself. 5) You’re welcomed to ask how your request is coming along, but please to not get rude if I’m working slowly! My life can get really rough sometimes, and art projects can take awhile, depending on the drawing. I try to finish on a week to two week basis, and if it will take longer, I'll inform you.

Colour, colour On the wall Slipping, dripping Cold and bold Dances just before the fall Dreary stare Lost behind a catalyst tear Black and white iris Has a foggy view In a foggy thank-you Alongside a heart reflection Rusted love collection Wistful smile All lost in the pile Sour notes and misused words Can’t be sung by birds In silver branches Over the moonlit steams Fairies all in dreams Colour, colour On the wall Dance just before the fall Just before the fall Lost behind a urban wall

Oh yes, LK has gone too far. So, Raia and I were raving about how awesome Lackadaisy is (if you don't know what it is, you're living under a rock), and then were were saying how awesome the style was...then I thought of an awesome idea. Bionicle characters: Lackadaisy'd! Then Raia came up with a better idea: Teehee. <3 Oh. I am still doing official Bionicle characters as cats sometime too. Yes, fear the artistic license.

I’m back from my adventures in Missouri, I’m sooo tired. All this recent traveling is really getting to me, even if it is fun. We got back at 2AM last night because of some activities we did during the way back. But I’m okay, and I got a Bumblebee shirt. <3 Got A LOT of art finished, for once in my life. I’m such a perfectionist, though, so got some nitpicking to do before showing it. Will update this entry when I get it all scanned. EDIT: Okay, I'm here with some art! Scanner was being weird so it took longer than expected... (click thumbnails for larger image) - Did this for a friend for his graduation. Character from an old story I am working on. - Just to prove that I am in fact working on your art-trade, Tarik. Will hopefully get this done soonish! - Tahu! Not as cool as B_D's mind you...but it was just a simple character design. I'm not sure what version this is...maybe a mix between Mata/Nuva/Mistika? - Huuuge character design for Tachi and Komas in HB version. Was practicing with poses/designs/etc. With this done now, I hope to start working on a certain original novel very soon... 0: - Niihlus got Lackadaisy'd (it was just a doodle...blame funky marker for messed up pants)! That's about it for now...more on the way though.

I’ve been really proud of myself on the progress of my writing recently—not in terms of skill (I have so much to learn), but how I’ve been finally getting over so many fears I used to have. It’s been so relieving to finally stop letting all my ideas rot away in my head, and actually put them on paper. Now, I know a lot of you guys are wondering if there will be a sequel for Glitch in the System—a few months back, I probably would had said yes. Now, I’ll still say yes, but it probably won’t be anytime soon. One of the major reasons is I really don’t want Glitch to be milked out or overused, if you know what I mean. We have a lot of random projects: a possible short comic series, a audiobook, stand alone short stories…I think it’s just wise to let it chill down a bit, then maybe later I’ll continue the series. I do have good news, though. Aside from the common short stories I intend to show here, I actually have come up with a brand new epic idea that I’m contemplating on writing. What’s my possibly story? Not saying yet…but I am hopeful about it. It’s going to be in a completely different reality/setting than Glitch, and instead of a cyberpunk feel, I’m going back to a much more mysterious and fantasy genre. I’m looking forward to drafting some drawings of places/characters, and writing story info about it. I’ll definitely keep you posted on this. Finally, I’ve been doing a lot of studying concerning writing. Writing is a bit harder to ‘learn’ about, unlike art, nevertheless, I’m curious (sorta a survey): • When you pick up a book, what are you mainly looking for? What gains your attention? • What are you favorite genres or writing styles? • What types of things don’t you like in certain writings or styles? • How picky are you concerning the originality of a certain story? Is it more about the portrayal and depth of the world/characters/setting that makes it interesting, or the overall plot and freshness? I may have more questions…but those are the ones I could think of. If you have any important critique/points I should hear, feel free to say. This is important to me because, even though I want to write how I want to (and enjoy writing, above all else), I still think it’s always a good idea to be open minded and see what other opinions there are. So if you guys could spare to write up something quick (or long) it would be really appreciated. I’m currently backtracking and see if there is anything I should be focusing on more, or improving upon.
-
It's a miracle! 0: Yeah thanks for the encouraging words guys and support...I was actually able to finish this. Just barely. Now, I'm off to pack and head to NC tomorrow, hopefully I can relax at the beach and to hang out with one of my sisters that's graduating from college. ^^ Won't be back till Monday probably, so I'll see you all till then! (Oh and Raia, you are awesome and thank you for the encouragement and I'll give you an update on some important life stuff whenever I get back )

Just wanted to inform you guys that all of my drawings are on hold for the next two weeks. I suddenly realized that the deadline for S&T#5 is May 4th. I really want to enter this, not only just because I think it’s a fun contest, but I’m using it as practice to defeat my procrastination habits and to stay within a deadline. The only reason I’m starting sort of late is because of life…so I am hoping I finish on time. 0x What am I doing? It’s a surprise…but I will hint something: it’s taking eight sheets of paper to do this. May not be on as much cause of this and school, too, but I’m NOT quitting on this. Wish me luck!

Hey everyone, awhile back I pointed out I may be doing a art/set trade and I’d like to confirm I’m officially interested in offers about this now. I’m posting this somewhat early, respectfully assuming this may take a few weeks to find someone who may be interested in doing this. To those who are unfamiliar with this: I would send you an original copy of a drawing of your choice, and in return you would send me a Bionicle set. I’m not specifically sure which set I want, but I am aiming for the 09 ones. When I start getting offers I’ll pick through and decide which set I’m most interested in. And just in case this will be settled within a week or so, I will clearly state I have a few art projects that must be done before I start this. Tarik and Raia (anybody else I’m forgetting?), very sorry about the art-trade lag on my part. I’ve been very busy with school/life, not to mention some nasty artist block. But you guys understand, so I’ll try to finish that asap. Anyone interested?
-
Woa, I actually entered! It’s been so long since I’ve written a short story… Link This romantic story involves a certain dashing Toa who wears a vest. x3 And yes, yes, still working (procrastinating...) on fixing my blog up.
