Alisa from Tekken and the holidays.

Ohai thar,


Alisa Tekken 6
This holiday I said to myself that I'd do at least one thing to make myself feel like I've not just wasted time.


While I enjoy drawing, I don't think that this has one has served me very well in terms of practise. It wasn't fun at all either. I think that's the last time I attempt a character that I haven't seen an anime version of yet. Well, I had, but the eyes just didn't fit the face.


Frankly, I ended up rushing her a bit, which is sad, because I did the first part really fast and it looked good, and then I spent about a week brooding over the eyes and kept putting it off by playing Oblivion. I love you Oblivion. 
So, the eyes turned out more than a little derpy. It makes me toss and turn at night but I honestly feel like I can't move on much from here. I'll come back to it someday, when I feel more confident.


As a wise man once said, Art is never finished. Only abandoned. 10 points if you know who.


And I apologise for the lack of uploads, I have truly been stuck with this. I'll step up my game, don't worry. I'll also try and cover a bit more wider topics, such as games and nerdiness in general, I might even touch on some real world events, such as the current Anonymous situation, though I might steer clear from that thinking about it, I don't want to go all political and scare people away.


Anywho, I'd love a comment or two on what character I should attempt next, take a look at my older bloggings to see what I've done thus-far.

Art and our hands.

Hey there, 'Hope you're doing well.

Recently, a friend said to me; "People make art with their eyes." At first I was like "Yeah, so true." but then I had a proper think about it while walking around my town today.

Art is made by hand. (Usually. Singers write scripts at some point. Shush.)

Artists make art through many different ways and for many different audiences.

Some make art for eyes.
Under Construction, obviously. <3
Some make art for ears.

Some art is made for a mixture of senses.
Like taste, smell and sight.
Look at that crumpet. Damn. Makes my mouth water. That is a masterpiece, I can tell you that for free.


Basically, what I'm trying to say is:
Art is made in many different ways and we all start with the same tools (our hands), but somehow get different results, be it a poem, a sound, a drawing, a concept or a magnificent meal like that crumpet right there.

Something to think about for a while.
If you don't think so, then click Next Blog at the top of the page, if you do however, give me a +1 and tell me what you think.

Angel, Katamari Music and an Apology.

Ohai,

So all today I've been listening to the Katamari Soundtrack. I knew it was addicting but in the words of RWJ: GEEZUS. Everlasting Love.
Thank you Youtube. <3

Anywho, Unfortunately, my camera has gone walk-about, so I'm gunna have to postpone my project for another couple of days. I'm sorry. :(

So I spent today doing this for you all instead.

On the left here is Angel, looking slightly confused and about to thrust her Guard Skill: Hand Sonic blade.
7-8 layers, all done in GIMP 2.6, which crashed on me several times today. I might have to look at getting another program. Referenced off a picture from google images, 20 Points if you know what Anime she is from.

Until next time, see ya'!
