*Double ckick* "Reboot!"

In retrospect, I've come to realize that Deaconitis wasn't as well planned as I thought. I also think that the art work could have been better and that the writing could use some tweaks. So, with that in mind, I'm thinking of rebooting the comic.

Prepare yourself!

My Illustration Friday entry for this week. The theme: prepare. I thought of a few things, such as preparing to jump off a high dive and even the phrase "Prepare to be amazed!", but I ultimately decided on an autobiographical piece. Too bad I can't turn this in for class.

I'm OK!

Concerning the last post, I feel I was being a little melodramatic. I'll explain. I'm painfully shy, so being in a classroom with a bunch of strangers feels a little intimidating. The instructor for the drawing class I have now, was the same one I had for 2-D design a long time ago. Being a shy, sheltered, white Mormon (among other things), how to say, we see the world through different lenses. Our lifestyles are quite different from each others. My instructor's nice, but kinda different.
Anyway, sorry for being such a drama queen. Thanks to those of who who may have been thinking of me. However, I realize now that there are people whose needs are a million times greater than my own. Let's think of those people in our lives, shall we?

I drew a dilophosaurus! With a brush pen! They're different from what I imagined, but I wish to thank my Grandma and Grandpa for sending me Christmas money so I could buy it. I'm not 100% used to using brush pens, but I think they're pretty cool.
I'm also returning to school this semester for the sole purpose of taking a drawing class. I am excited but also nervous about it. It'll be both challenging and monotonous as I have to draw A LOT of self portraits.
And one thing I was totally not expecting was the assignment to read The Grapes of Wrath. We're going to be discussing the book's many themes and try to incorporate them in our art. I can't help but think that political discussions are inevitable. Ugh. I'm NOT politically savvy and I don't usually like to talk politics in a school setting.
But I also need to look on the bright side. I'll be getting lots of much needed practice and my drawing skills will improve, which is what I want. I wouldn't normally ask for such things on my blog, but if any of my relatives are reading this, prayers on my behalf would be much appreciated. Well, thank you for reading my rambling. I'll try to make my next post happier.

The first thing I drew this year. And some fan art.

While everyone else was playing Xbox and watching New Year's Rockin' Eve, I drew this:



I also drew fan art for the Web comic Monster Pulse. It's about a group of kids who have monster companions created from their own body parts. This pic is of the main character Bina and her monster Ayo, who is in fact her heart. Thumpity-thump! I'll tell you what I told the artist behind this comic: I relate to Bina because like her, I'm shy and I like dinosaurs. You can read Monster Pulse here.



That's all for now.

明けましておめでとうございます!

That means "Happy New Year!"

Merry Christmas!

Santa brought me a Mickey Mouse watch. But the band is too small. Curse my big wrists!
