Writing is like a...

I always thought that writing a book required a robust vocabulary, or at least a handy dictionary at your side.  I figured these things were needed in order to have a bunch of adjectives etc at your disposal; You know.. to spice up a particular action within your writing.  Well it turns out I was wrong, and I came to realize this while reading some rather interesting books.  It turns out you can write a pretty interesting novel just by writing the way you would normally speak.  You don't need to be an Einstein of literature, you just need to let your mind speak the story you have.  Now this is probably not always the case but I think for the most part it would generally work.

For example, I was reading this really interesting book and when I finally reached  the authors notes I realized Hey! He writes his thoughts the same way he writes the rest of the book!

His story of course was from the first person perspective, so if you failed to realize you were reading the 'authors notes' it would seem like you were still reading the thoughts of whatever protagonist he was writing about.  That was enlightening for me as I've always thought that writings stories required much more then that.

Come to think of it, I've always thought that a good writing encompassed a whole bunch of jargon words. This was probably due to the amount of papers I had to write for  my microbiology lab classes, as I figured back then, the more scientific I sounded, the better my thesis would looks!  Reminiscing back though, my papers did look pretty 'scientific and journal quality' but... I sucked at grammar and found myself losing 0.05 marks because of punctuation and grammar errors.  Before I knew it, I had 12/20 grade because of that. hm.. and yes 0.05 for every punctuation and grammar error. 

And now years later I draw and model.  Quite the deviation from what I had originally studied for, life's pretty funky like that don't you think? you expect a curve ball and then the catcher whacks you over the head with the baseball bat.

Ah I'm getting off topic here so yea, writing is pretty interesting now.  Speak and write your mind! Whenever that context is generally used, I guess in this particular case! how fortunate!

Now then.. all I need is something to write about..

Some Off Time!

I had some free time to spare so I thought it was a good chance to go through some of the list of request art people asked of me.

Kuuya ::: This was requested in 08 so quite awhile ago.  Finally got around to it.

Max and H-45 ::: Requested not too long ago.  Perfect timing.

Also Requested not too long ago.

And that's probably all the requests I'd do for now.  I Also managed to work on some other pieces during my limited downtime.  

Shinobu Ohsino from Bakemonogatari.

Nagato Yuki bookmark from "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi"
The bookmark is 1.75inches x 5.5inches.

Biggest art dump I ever had in awhile haha.

February? ..Febua?

The month of Febua..  Febua sounds a lot more elegant then February haha!

So there we go, the month of February is slowly trickling to an end, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour and before ya know it BAM March! I wanted to have at least some marks on this canvas of February 2011 and here they are :)

This was a fun little piece to color; originally part of a comic page currently on hiatus and since I didn't want to completely scrap the entire page, I extracted this 'surprised' character and decided to do a quick CG of her.  

 I often consider Valentines day a bullet filled with gunpowder that could either explode or implode.  Here's an Implosion.

Why is this an implosion? because it's the opposite similarity to explosion of course! like positive to extracuricular negative.

Chocolate shapes are important! cant get away with the "I was trying to make em look like those 'Kiss' chocolates!" 

yeahh.. nope!

And that's it! It was short but that's actually all I can post for now haha

Hope everyone had a fantastic February! 

I'M OUT!
