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.

Taiga, College and other such geekery.

Ohai there,

I apologise for the long wait between blogs. I've been busy with college work and for a few days, I didn't have proper access to my computer.

So, I've passed the first year of my college course, despite the difficulties I've had at the start of the year. It's great, I can't wait to move on to the next year. I'm going to blitz it and get it all done at the start so I can have a bit more time off at the end of it.

Now I'm on holiday for a month and a bit. Maybe two. I can't keep track very well. Either way, I have plenty of time to draw now and that surprise I was on about is almost ready, I just need to get at the camera and have some decent light in the room I will be filming to get started. It will all be revealed soon.

Been playing more Katamari, I love it. Since my xbox is well and truly buggered (6 fixes later and it won't last more than a minute on it's own), I doubt that I will get to play it at home so I've given it to a friend for the time being. The game I mean, not the xbox. That's chilling in the corner.
I've been playing more Minecraft also, just waiting for some mod updates so that I can get going properly again. I might do more pixel art on my server for that, a giant Charmander would look great next to my Nyan-cat

Oh yes, the image on the top right is Taiga, from Toradora again. 5-6 layers in GIMP 2.6, the eyes were very difficult for me to do, I was working with a 1 pixel brush at one point. This is where I realised I should just set the resolution to 4000x4000 and work with a larger brush. Ah well, a lesson learnt for another image.
