Night night baaaaayby...

I was going to draw and keep up......... We saw how that turned out. Feh. I need a scanner.
I'll update when I do.
Hasta!

Don't let the bed bugs bite...

Time doesn't wait for me...

So I didn't post for a very long time, mostly because of the broken computer, then, really laziness. But I plan on being better! (And I'm in classes this semester, so I -have- to draw. ) Expect more on this front soon-ish.

It keeps on goin'...

I am lost, benighted, cast adrift in a sea of horrible, terrible things. I am... without a computer! My poor Alienware, having served loyally these past 11 months has suffered a critical blow. Either the power cable, the transformer, or the AC power converter on the motherboard has burnt out/fried. So, because I shut down promptly, I have aproximatly 80 mins of battery power left. And then, nothing. That's all she wrote. (Untill I get home and get it to a proper test-bed/repair tech, anyhow.) AND I was working on some logo/graphic art comissions I'd delayed a bit for a friend, leaving me to explain, shamefacedly, that I can't finish them. AND I need to spend that last bit of time getting everything I possibly can off those HDs as fast as possible, because Alienware's policy, according to thier manual, is to reformat your hard-drives. EVEN if you have all sorts of protection on them, and information... And even if, as in my case, the problem is nothing to DO with the harddrives at all. Meh.
In good news, I've finished three books and a videogame since it went down. Last night. /sigh AND I should be on the way home soon. Lass than 2 months, perhaps as little as 1 1/2. But I probably wont update until then. Super meh.

I got it! Today, in my very own mail, I finally got my tablet!! That is, my Wacom 6x11 Intuos 3. I'm so estatic! Even being over here can't dampen it! (Although, getting ahold of the think was a pain in the ass. First, I had to wait for the IRS to get around to depositing my refund. THEN I ordered my toy from Amazon, but they wouldn't ship the tablet to an APO. {I guess it's subversive.} SO I 2-dayed it to my loyal priest ~APCCP-Mattemo and had him turn around the same day and mail it out to me. And it's HERE!)

I'm sure there is gonna be an adjustment period, as I get used to the tablet. The only other tablet I had was a tablet PC- and it was so bottom of the line, right-when-they-came-out slow, it couldn't even RUN heavy duty art programs like PS or Painter. Heck, I used to have to turn down the video effects to play Diablo II!

ANYhow. I should stop bragging and get to drawing. I just wanted to share my joy!

So, really, life has been pretty boring. My attempt to spur my creativity with excersizes ended ignomously after only 2 or 3 days. Then, I finally got the new hard-bound sketch-books I'd ordered, which -did- spur my creativity. Nothing like blank pages in a totally blank book to make you want to inpunge thier purity with marks. How destructivly human of me, eh? But the Ollie fan art and the Shark-maid were right after one another, along with several sketches. (Including one of ~tea-san's Antimony from Gunnerkrigg Court. A wonderously great comic- if you haven't read it, you really should.) I tried to draw the Silver Surfer, on a suggestion from a friend, but I really only have the vaguest memory of how he looks- and again, only the vaguest idea of how a surfer would look (body position wise) on a board.

We're on the downhill slope now. /me knocks on wood. Three months left 'til we should be 'boots on plane' on the way home. I'm hoping that Isreal holds off on the whole enflaming the entire middle east thing until I'm gone. Because I've got nearly 10 years in, and am less than seven months from being gone. In fact, I'm so nearly gone, what they see now is in all actuality my after-image. 'So HOLD OFF, ye war-mongers! I'm not out yet!' This public service announcement brought to you by me.

PS- Read Narbonic too!
