Clumsaloo strikes again

YEAH OKAY SO THIS HAPPENED

I fell outside on my skates and removed quite a bit of skin.  Jason putting peroxide on it was more painful than falling down the stairs on my already-sprained knee.

Here's what it looked like after 3 days

Here's what it looks like now, 1 week later

Pretty awful stuff.

At least now it's healing enough where I can sit in a chair for more than three minutes and not feel pain!

I have some more art to upload, and I will very soon.

There is no reason Derpy should not continue to be called Derpy.

It means I LOVE YOU in doggie language

Lately I have not been sleeping well.  My stomach makes me sore and tired and it hurts a lot.  I have to eat very often, and there have been nights where I've been forced to sleep sitting up.  It's been brutal(loo), and it's really destroyed some of my urge to draw.

But!

Last night, Jason chose to draw me this thing of beauty as a means to cheer me up.  What a guy!

Here are some things I've done this past month:

I replaced some old signs at work (on the left) I made a year or so ago with some newbies (on the right)!

Here's a flyer I made for my brother's show -- it felt really good that someone specifically requested that I make the flyer!

Here's a commission someone requested after seeing my doodle of the Robins I posted a while back.  He was super nice, and if you live in Dallas, you should totally go buy comics from him at Keith's Comics!

This isn't my best work, but it's finished so I'm posting it!

Say I look lovely in my gown

What they don't know is that I have fooled them all

Guardian of the Underworld

Hello, my name is Cerberus!  Merr!  I am the protector of all that is bad and yucky.  No one can stop me from totally chomping your face if you try to escape the gates of FIRE AND DOOM

Here are some signs that "ting doll" lady made for that place where they sell funny picture books.
This one does not look particularly tasty..

..but I can't wait to turn these guys into chew toys!  Om nom!

I tried to eat a guy like this once- he didn't taste like anything!  

Now I'm hungry.  Maybe the new mailman will be here soon...the last one was too crunchy.

...I'm too tired to come up with a better post than this.  DEAL

Megaman X

Megaman X was one of my favorite SNES games growing up.  The music for all the games was SO GOOD, and X was no exception.  Even now, 2 and X remain to be my top two favorites of the series.

This is what most of my pictures look like when I start to color them.  I'm posting this because I still stand by my desire to show the world how awesome crayons are -- specifically Crayola.  (Don't go buying that other non-name brand crap or you'll be disappointed!)

Aaaand the finished product!  There are at least 3-4 layers of colors throughout.  So much fun!  I used to squirm at the thought of finishing my art with any colors because I had no confidence in myself.  But because they're so easy and cheap (making them easy to replace so I don't have to feel like I'm wasting materials if I mess up), crayons have CHANGED MY artistic LIFE.

Here's some more Crayon work with some white acrylic!

Happy Monday!

Go see The Dark Knight Rises!

I really enjoyed the new Batman movie.  I enjoyed it enough to draw this picture of Catwoman without the blue background I was planning (hence the color on her face).  I'll finish it someday maybe!

I also made this Batman cardboard thing!

And then I drew all the male Robins - Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Damien!

Happy Batman-ing!  Here's a semi-famous Mogwai that'll keep you company.

Little Owl's Tuxedo Adventure

Last weekend I went to a friend's wedding.  Right now I'm going to gush a little bit about how lucky I felt when I got to walk around with this guy:

It was a ton of fun, and I'm so glad I got to go.  Especially because it meant seeing Jason dressed up all nice and handsome like.

Commence: squeeeeeee

In other news-

I sketched Lightning Helix art on my roommate's new cardbox!

I promised a customer back in May that I'd draw him a small picture of Daredevil.  Because he had to wait so long, I put some extra effort into it.  I'm nice like that.

PortCon 2012: Year of the Apples

I can't express enough how much fun I had at PortCon this year.   I surprised Jason with a Rarity costume and had several chances to take breaks from working and relax with him.  It's a pleasure seeing my friends at the event, and the Artists' Alley/Info Desk art war is always a highlight of the weekend.

In a couple of days I get to attend a wedding with Jason in a tux.  I've already seen a preview of it and boy oh boy, is it the cutest thing ever?  Yes, yes it is.
