Resume Tres Somme Ohh La Lah

...No artwork tonight, sawy :( I spent the evening updating my resume. I'm not telling why so don't ask. On the other hand I also took some time to reaquaint myself with Microshaft Excel. I did a Yahtzee knockoff. Basically its the same except i've added a couple extra rows on the bottom of the form. Thats all for tonight.

Another Project Done

...Well i'm finally done another project. I'll wait and see if it is accepted before i post it here though. In other news I got an OK from another person from work. Once again she wanted to remain anonymous. Funny thing is that the first person i drew after seeing her picture asked me to do tonights person next but she did not select the next person so this might be the last for now.



...Also on a completly different topic I heard them play "Hurt" by Johnny Cash on CFOX today and it turns out that "Hurt" was in fact a cover of Nine Inch Nails. I have since listened to the original and have come to the same conclusion as before. Although there is no argument of the intense talent of Trent Reznor for writing lyrics I can't help cringe at the instumentation. I find the "industrial" sound difficult to listen to. So I guess if you can get past the ear torture then Nine Inch Nails might be worth a listen.

Off on a Tangent

...So I happened to be reading another of my favorite webcomics when i noticed the author/artist was going to make a fan art contest. I think i'll enter. So far here's what I got.



...I figure i've got 4 more panels to go. I don't want to spoil the rest so consider this the only sneak peak i'm posting until after i'm finished.

So Many Distractions

...Woah DUDES there is so many things going on right now. People moving around. Hockey teams being eliminated. Holiday meals with friends. And of course little ol' me reading webcomics, making fake ID's and doing some drawing. On the topic of webcomics i happened on a link to an article in Wikipedia about listening to Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon while watching The Wizard of Oz. At first I thought it was a joke but after watching it on low res I was AMAZED. It totally works. On the topic of doing some drawing i had drawn my interpretation of someone from work. Fortunatly they thought it did not resemble them so i'm going ahead and posting the drawing here.




...the second picture is the rough outline i started with. I changed the lips because she looked way too serious. I think i'll call her "Cinnamon" She has razor sharp wit and an almost wicked sarcasm but of course you'd never suspect it from the nice gal. By the way i also like the way the gradient fill worked in the background. More to come. Perhaps tomorrow i'll do another. In any case this is all for now.

Auntie Comes to Visit

...My sister came to visit the girls. I drew her car parked out on the street. Its a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am.



...I'm glad to report i've figured out how to expand the selection like Jeph mentioned but i find 3 pixels work better for me. I also tryed using a dark blue for the inital schetch. When I set the schetch layer to 20% opacity the blue goes a pleasent shade lighter. Its not visible here though because i've removed it before publishing. Come to think of it perhaps on my next drawing i'll post the schetch layer, the ink layer, the fill layer and the finished picture to show it all a little better. Thats all for tonight.

Sleepy

...Going back to Daylight Savings Time? What a pain. I've been so wiped this last week. I shure hope my body adjusts soon. I've just finished looking at the latest post on Jeph Jacques blog and after following this link i have some ideas that may find there way into my next drawing. For now though this is what i have.



...yes it's true we have each our own alarm clocks. Renee's is teal, mine is grey. The lamp is ficticious. We actually have those obnoxious touch lamps. If you happen to be an Amateur Radio operator and own both a Handheld Transciever and touch lamps try this for fun. Press the PTT while aiming the antenna at the lamp. WHEEEEE such fun LOL. Ok g'nite for now.
