to the stars!

Sorry it's been a while. I've been a busy bee, what with things and stuff happening. I recently did the 24 hour comic day challenge, which went well considering I had to go to work for most of the day and help the boyfriend move in. SO it ended up being more like a 16 hour comic day challenge. whateves, I still stayed up for 24 hours. The fruits of my sleep deprived labor can be found here and you can find other peeps from entervoid.com who participated in the challenge here and here.

also, my life is slowly being taken over by Glitch. I think my problem is that I so rarely play video games that I have no ability resist.

Poison Watcher

I'm trying desperately to get myself out of a rut. The Starwatcher Meme over at the Moebius blog is helping me. I think I need to just do a slew of fanart, because I don't do enough of it (other than the xena doodles). Here's my submission:

I like the the line art much better than the colored version, but I'm also really picky and inexperienced in the digital coloring department. So who knows. I also suck at backgrounds. buuuut I'm working on it. So this is a double fan art, first after Moebius' Starwatcher, but done as Bowie from James Stokoe's Orc Stain. I've been wanting to do a Bowie fan art for a while. (as an aside, I've been wanting to do a David Bowie fan art as well, but I haven't done it yet. someday....) Anyways, I may go back and play with digital colors since I have the line art all ready to go on this one.

Rhymes with... Oscar Wilde

It's been a long time since I've done a Rhymes With(or rather, a long time since I've posted anything regularly) Today, Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde done Monty Python Style:


Also, jersey Shore gone Wilde


and another!

sketchs and stuff...

getting ready for a battle over at void I've been doing warm up sketches and stuff. Trying, for once, to do things right and not rush things like an idiot. anyways, I want part of the story to be with watercolors, so I thought I would do some sketches first before committing to that.

I'm still not so sure, but I guess I'll just have to practice.

next is some marker drawings I did. I got one of those larger sketchbooks to see if the larger format would help with drawing. It does. I've been using tiny sketchbooks for years and I'm kicking myself now for not branching out sooner. it makes marker work so much easier.


more things later. It's a work day, so I'm frantically trying to get as much sketching done before then as possible.

SAPCE GIRL

I'm having a proper nerd out over this one:

Serious, a montage of awesome ladies in sci fi? Yes, please, may I have another? I think I squeed the whole time I saw this for the first time, and cheered like a ridiculous fan girl the next few times. The song is pretty rad too.

comics! And the Farm!

So I've ben trying to get my comic skills sharp after several years of letting it go by the wayside. This means I've started doing void comics again, but with renewed determination and understanding. It also means I managed to make the longest comic I have ever made in my life, clocking in at 22 pages. here's part One and part Two. I have a lot of editing to do, since I was working on a deadline(also good practice) and missed a few things(also had to rush the last half so backgrounds suffered quite a bit. also, sad lack of tones.) Anyways, enough babbling. check it out. I'm going to give that story a break and let my brain recover for a sec.

I also went to the boyfriend's farm yesterday for the first time.

It was a really nice day, the first day where it actually felt like summer.

Here's the boyfriend, inspecting some strawberries.

And here are a few of the many awesome trucks.

Just after I left(to lock myself in my room and draw comics for 10 hours, believe me I did not want to go) they found a wild swarm of bee in one of their barns. So they found the queen, gave it a home and have a new swarm! I should add that they already keep bees, so they got an extra hive! woo hoo! I also got to ride around on the ATV(which I have to admit to failing at learning to drive...) yeah, it was loads of fun.

I also recently signed up to volunteer at the HUmane Society in town, because I don't do enough with my life. Actually, it's more that I wish I could have a dog, but don't have the time, money or real estate(or stability) to allow that, so I figure I can do some good and get to hang out with animals at the same time. You never know where that sort of thing will lead. Anyways, orientation doesn't start until the end of july, so I've got some time before that happens, but I'm still stoked!

music and nature wads

First, here's a way for me to share music, because I miss doing radio.



hopefully I can do these mixes on a semi regular basis. Also, I'm frantically working on comics, prints, and gardening. So far I haven't killed anything. The last few weeks have been EXTREMELY busy, so its a little weird to have some down time, but of course I'm using it to draw comics and procrastinate and learn esperanto.

here is one of the nature wad prints i'm working on...
