Some interesting things uncovered today:
-giant space Peace Frog sticker
-pile of Planescape supplements I'd forgotten I had
-origami book of complex insects
-Simearth guide (that I was just discussing, oooh)
-the instructions for Megatron (yessss)
-a metal wand that rings when tapped against a hard surface
-pile of colorful origami paper, some oversized

In Kingdom Heartsy news, doubtless many of you know already but the 358/2 Days manga preview has been released, which you can acquire here. It must be Meet the Organization time. The eight-page preview also features ZEXION AND DEMYX PLAYING TWISTER IN THE BREAK ROOM.

YES. IT DOES.

I just spent the last four hours or so making icons out of these eight pages! Icon post soon.

Pausing from packing for late lunch and an art post!

( small pile of fanart: Avatar cyberpunk AU, Slayers, Castlevania, Kingdom Hearts, Vocaloid, Princess Tutu )

As incentive for fraulein_karma to finish her homework, I offered to draw her something which I would then hold hostage until she finished.

A: What would you like?
S: ...Sexy sexy Sukka.
S: Bonus points for Sokka in a Kyoshi warrior outfit.
A: kay.

( pretty worksafe )

Note to self: never get that kind of scan backlog, it takes forever to deal with.

( original: air pirates, other characters, unaffiliated noodling; fanart: Kingdom Hearts (AU and otherwise), Vocaloid, Sailor Moon/Repo (what), Slayers, Avatar, Yuugioh. a bit nsfw for underwear, boobs, and girltouching. )

Whoa! Thursday already. TiLT post!

-Phoenix Wright. I feel a fit of fannishness coming on.
-Incredible vegetable dishes. Last night's roasted root vegetables were a rousing success.
-Produce. Mmm, fruits and vegetables.
-Unusual still life subjects. I drew my pencil case propped open with my sunglasses with a teensy devil ducky inside for my math prof (which becomes much more epic if you're familiar with the huge amount of stuff in my pencil case XD).
-Vanillaware. I really need to lay my hands on a tv so that I can restart Odin Sphere and overcome that bug.
-Claymore. I am - perhaps I have mentioned this - a hopeless addict.
-T. S. Eliot. (shape without form, shade without color)
-Dinotopia. Ridiculous Kingdom Hearts crossover is a go in my head.
-Poe's Haunted. I listened to it again after getting my stereo set up, and I keep thinking that it may take the cake as my favorite CD of all time.
-Getting my stereo set up. I had been sadly musicless since mom took the desktop.
-This Japanese masking tape. WANT.
-The new show up in the gallery! I like the student shows, they always have such neat things. I'll definitely be hitting up the reception next Thursday.
-Being remembered by an awesome instructor from a couple years ago - and him remembering the mask I made in his class, and further his asking for pictures should I get them! Eeee.
-The guy I saw on the bus wearing the Hollow Bastion crest. I was going to say something to him, but he passed by me too quickly and got off before I did.
-15 tutorials for recreating authentic photo effects. I've got to try some of these.
-.ikandi., a frequently pretty tumblr blog. Not always safe for work.
-Card Observer, a website all about business card design and inspiration. So cool!
-Finding Ferngully art. Oh slash goggles, you never come off. I do love you. Also, Magi/Hexxus = hot y/n? ...YEAH, I WENT THERE.
-Improv Everywhere. Food Court Musical is still one of the most awesome things to exist.
-Taylor Mali, the slam poet. My English prof showed some videos of him, and he is fantastic.
-Crepes, Dai Li, pirate treasure, lesbian mermaids, literary analysis, naps, Porco Rosso ("It's about a pig that flies planes and fights pirates."), having my classes set up for spring quarter, Italian food, smoke effects, overhearing people in class talking about Shadow of the Colossus, "How can you support a country that prefers gouda to stilton?", Tagalongs, 'orgasmic' used as an adjective for nonsexual things (cheese, toothpaste), crow chic, laughing really hard with my math study group (but having to keep it quiet because we're in the library), cats being affectionate, awesome randomly seen style, wondering what other people are thinking about, alliteration, raspberry muffins.

Thursday rolls around, and I talk about stuff I'm loving this week!

-Chain reaction sketchdumps. I'm really enjoying this. XD
-Scanning. This gets its own point.
-Steamcon. wat why had I not heard about this sooner
-The latest Abridged YGO episode.
-Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Eeee. (I keep wanting to connect this with Nausicaa.)
-Razriel's ink BDSM pieces. Such gorgeous ink work. (Heel, Pinch, Pull, Hang, Nooooooo don't do it, Cut. nsfw, obviously.)
-Pimping out Seattle. I truly, deeply love this area.
-Interesting body language. People's mannerisms interest me greatly.
-These cereal boxes with retro designs. They're on sale at Target.
-Hanne Blank's menu planning posts. Part one, part two. Reading these made me realize that yeah, I do like a hot breakfast. It's what I eat almost every day.
-Looking at slews of awesome art. So inspiring!
-These Coraline gloves. Alas, I do not know how to knit.
-South Park's delightful skewering of Pepsi ads.
-M. S. Corley's art. The 'Horrors of Literature' series is deeply, deeply cool.
-Expanding my cooking repertoire. I enjoy being able to properly feed myself.
-The Castlevania wallpapers here. (Leftmost box.) Now, just gimme some new Hector art and we will be shiny.
-Really grasping the math we're working on. It's a good feeling.
-Red lip gloss. This gets its own point because it's gorgeous and I'd been thinking about getting some for a while. Mwahaha.
-Discussions of synaesthesia. These never fail to be intriguing, particularly since I can add insider input, as it were (given that I am a synaesthete).
-Wolverine's Syllabus.
-Zucchini, muffins, colored pencils, taking pictures of snow-dusted trees, incense smoke, rising steam, transparent pink umbrellas, turnips, Get Smart, observing people, wall-climbing cats, this piece of Hello Kitty merchandise, free time, gorgeous hand-drawn typography, showing off photos, the Wang Fire High pairing generator, burlesque, this incredible office (the Chandelier Creative Ad Agency in New York), The Big Picture's Carnival photos, fishnet, discussing figure drawing, reviews of girly smelly bath products, giggling over top 100 songs lists from 1998, THIS (yukie1013 I keep wanting to throw this your way SO LOOK AT IT).

What about you?

Last weekend, I carted a roll of butcher paper and a sea of crayons up to fraulein_karma's and, since we are AMAZINGLY COOL, we had a crayon drawing jam. Since I can already hear the screams of 'PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN', here they are.

( Avatar, bit o' WANG, smidgen of surprise Slayers...IN CRAYON (plus bonus Simillow) )

The artist is not responsible for any sugar overload that may occur as a result of looking at this post.

( pirates and ghosts and vampires, oh my )

AVAST.

( pirate-themed materials )

Wow, it's sure been a terrible month for getting art done. Anyway, here's a backlog of sketches and stuff. Some colored, some not.

( +17, Avatar, Kingdom Hearts (Another Side and otherwise), air pirates, other original stuff, Saiyuki. lots of AUs. all worksafe, though there is a little bit of cheek-kissing. )

So, as I was browsing away to the tune of I, Robot being played behind me (having already seen it a couple times, I wasn't paying close attention), it occured to me that VIKI and GLaDOS should totally get together for some robot overlord good times. Yeah. Talk about awesome.

I can't believe it's been so long since there was an art post. Actually, I can, considering the health-related productivity crash of March and April. In any case, some stuff. I've decided I really hate photobucket's interface.

(kytha should definitely click this cut. *cough*)

( +13, Gurren Lagann, air pirates 'verse, Kingdom Hearts, Castlevania, xxxHolic )

sorceressakemi: Unrelatedly, a question: would Zuko benefit from a sparkly nude transformation sequence.
ladycrysiana: The answer to that question is ALWAYS yes.
sorceressakemi: That's what I thought.

Woo! Sketchdump. Happy leap day, too.

( +13, Kingdom Hearts, air pirates, Idea no Hi, leetle bit of Silent Hill, misc. )

Like the title sez, art roundup time.

Lanterns - DA link, y!gallery link
Incantata - DA link, y!gallery link

First set of request sketches! I'm not doing these in any particular order, just as the urge strikes.

( Catpile )

( Redheaded attack dogs for powerful organizations unite )

( Bunny and Dandelion )

Because.

I have.

A problem.

( Gratuitous sexy and a whole lot of dumb; thirteen images under the cut )

in the absence of my flesh-tone marker (I did order more ink, but it won't be here for a bit yet), I panicked and started drawing a boatload of DUMB FIGHT SCENES. They were quick, and I didn't use references, so they're not what you might call "accurate." That's okay, though, because I don't really "care."

Quality so, so not assured.

( FIGHT-O!! )

Ah, multiply layers, how do I love thee. If thou wert a person, I would totally tap that.

The photo booth saw some action!

( gratuitous cuteness - if Akuroku, Hector/Isaac, or Namikai is your thing (because dang, it's mine), drop on in. )

Since DA is being a hobag (I swear I have been trying to make it upload for the past forty-five minutes), I'm posting this instead of the thing I was going to put up. Oh well!

6. Draw a short comic of 3-7 panels.

( Hey, the dye came out eventually. )

( and now the sketches - nsfw for boobs, gay, naked people, tooth-rotting cute, and Nii )
