So, as I spontaneously uploaded an image to DeviantART, I realized something about myself. When I started drawing, way back like nine or ten years ago, it was really for myself. I wanted to manifest these characters that I invented in a tangible way — seal them away from the erosion of time through strokes […]
I just realized in my own writing that I have this tendency to be all right writing females — except for the lead role. I mean, maybe women writers in general tend to be somewhat weaker at writing their own sex than they are writing males (this, of course, is possibly just trying to justify […]
That subject line makes this sound like this’ll be a very profound journal entry, but I doubt it will be. You see, I submitted my revisions of “Redefining Evil” to C yesterday. I’m also out of school. NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I want to delve into art. I haven’t made a legit […]
“…Do I want to? No way in hell.” In the rewrite of the hospital-related chunk of RE, I offered Danyil an adorable LotR reference. I’d been trying to decide what sort of man he was outside of his police chief persona, and I’m thinking he’s pretty much a huge book nerd. And no, I don’t […]
OKAY, ARTISTIC SELF. WHAT’S YOUR DEAL. I told you that I want to draw an intense portrait of Danny and replace the annoying and poor composition of the image that’s up now! And what do you give me? Like, twenty crappy sketches and then one sappy image of Danny and Ingrid that I didn’t actually […]
I just wanted to report that I recently (as in last night) experienced something of a mental breakthrough. I might have mentioned that I submitted the RE book cover to the Augsburg Juried Art Show, which meant it was judged by a panel of jury who decided what would get admitted to the show. Well, […]
If…this is the way this whole experience with RE is going to be…I’m going to be very worn out by the time my book comes out next year. I knew I would do this because I know myself, but I have literally been working on OMS for three days straight. Ideas for the layout were […]
Nicholas Wells – “A Little Bit” At least when winter’s been too long, the trees grow buds again. At least if night is gonna come, the world will tell me when. And sometimes all I need is something to believe in. A breath of warmer air to help me keep on breathin’. And as it […]
Check it out. A totally meaningless kiss picture featuring Ingrid and Micah. Woo. Really it was for the linework, and I was doing it while watching Mulan, so I was artistically inspired. Oh except Micah’s head is too big. Don’t look too closely at it because then you’ll be like “WHOA yes it is HAHAHA”. […]
I don’t actually have all that much to write about – I’m mostly just updating my blog to please Margaret. xD But I’ve been in one of my phases where I want to improve OMS completely, and even though I’ve done a ton of stuff on it, I still want to do more. That is […]
