Quick Post Before New Years

I pulled this out of my sketchbook archive. I like the composition of it. Okay tomorrow, New Years Day, no posts tomorrow see you all next year. Night All.

One Of Those Days You Hurt Like Hell All Over.

Hurt All Over today not sure why. Today's sketch is part of a weapons study that I'm doing for one of my stories. It's just a quickie sketch. Tomorrow New Years. Night All.

Planning And Surprises

Did the New Year's brainstorming session with Dave G. over brunch. Still more to plan but it was a good start. My sis took a tour of the hospital today she's feeling really crappy. So she won't be flying out tomorrow but the next day. I didn't have the time to do much today so today's sketch is just a rough composite of two previous sketches. I'm going to clean it up and ink it out hopefully tomorrow. Night All.

Recovering And Planning

Back home and recovering from the Holiday's with the family. I enjoyed seeing everyone. Tomorrow, I'm going to see what I can come up with for New Years, which means Dave G. and I are doing a breakfast brainstorming season. I also need to catch up on my email, so that tomorrow as well. So I drew this sketch of Lil'mana for a story I'm working on. Li-ma (She prefers that to the aforementioned diminutive.) is one of my favorite characters. I think the rough came out okay. What do you all think. Night All.

Cake Presents and Christmas Trips

Spent all day wraping gifts, planning surprises and baking a cake for the Christmas holiday. There wont be any updates starting tomorrow until I get back the day after christmas or so. Due to being so busy I didnt' get a chance to sketch today and my computer is having a tantrum with the piece I wanted to post today so no sketch sorry. Night All.

P.S. As soon as I typed this. The peice kicked out. Here it is. Night All.

Machinery Is Not My Sketching Friend

Machinery has always been hard for me. I think it's all the lines. Today's sketch is of a motorcycle that I'll be tweaking to make one of my characters rides for a story I'm working on. Night All.

More Parts Of Panels

Another snippet from a panel I'm working on. I like the over all look but somethings off not sure what though. Not much going on today otherwise. Night All.

Moving Slow

I'm moving a bit slow today. I dusted of the treadmill for a run which felt good. Today's sketch is part of a larger panel. It's still quite rough but she sure looks like she's in trouble. Night all.

Nerfel!

My sis made it safe from California to Michigan for the Holidays. I'm feeling a bit under the weather maybe from all the snow shoveling. I'll blame it on that. I did some sketching today and I liked most of what I did. Today's sketch is a segment of a larger panel. It's still in layout but coming along nicely. In other news, Christmas shopping is done. Night All.

Snow Is Shovelled

2hours of shovelling the drive. I keep telling myself it's good exercises. Today's sketch is out of the sketch archive. Well call her H for now. I think I'm going to update her look a little bit for revamped story. Night all.

Blizzards of Cleaning

I spent most of the day cleaning again today. I was a good day for it due to the snow storm. I'll have to shovel snow tomorrow, it will be good exercise. I lined out and flatted the last couple day's sketches. I think it came out okay. Night All.

Gah! Snow And Pasta

I guess we're in for a good amount of snow today and tomorrow. I'm a bit skeptical. It is really cold out with the wind though. It may be related that all my joints ache today but I'm really way to young for that sorta thing. In any case I did lots of house cleaning today It was really time to make some head way on that. I also managed to get some sketching in. The character in today's sketch is the same character as the sketch from the 11th. Shhhh! She's in her secret identity. I like the way the hair in this sketch is flowing. In other news, I made some excellent pasta today. I added some red wine vinegar which gave it a nice bright tangy tastes. It really helped out the tomatoes. Also the cookies are still delicious. Night All.

Neon Ninja Kittens

I saw I Am Legend today it was really good. Upon returning home I made cookies Oatmeal Raisin. They are delicious. Did this quick sketch while watching the news. I think the South Koreans are planning something and there secret weapons program began today with glow in the dark cats. I can't think of another possible explanation for engineering cute adorable white kittens to glow creepy red in the dark. Come to think of it maybe there in league with the people who engineered the electric eel powered Christmas tree. Evil I tell you EEEEVVVIIILLL! In other news related to the sketch. I like the way the lips in the top panel came out. Night All.

Grumble!

Got my hair cut today all nice for Christmas. Still need to get all my shopping done. Other than that it was a laundry day. I found that my domain name expired so I fixed that but now I can't log in to reload the website. I guess that's fine as long as I can when I get the latest version finished. I'm kinda feeling today's sketch. I love the mouth. I'm going to see I am legend tomorrow. I hope it's really good. Night All.

Good Smoothies and Failed Energy Bars

I tried to make some Energy Bars today but it came out more like bread than crunchy oat bars. I'll try again some other time. My smoothy was delicious however despite having to shave the ice out of the ice bucket. The ice was all clumped and frozen together. Today's sketch was a real quick one of some young lady at the mall. She was waiting for someone I suppose, but she looked really cool doing it. I do wonder where her coat was being winter and all. Night All.

Illustrator to Flash = Headache's For Me

I've been working in Illustrator and importing stuff in to Flash. This caused me great headache's today mostly because this is the first time I've done this. It's simple enough but I'm still getting use to all the new features and I don't know Flash all that well yet. Ah well I'll only learn by trying. I did get to sketch today so I did a quick one of one of my favorite creations. I think it came out well over all there needs to be some tweaking in the arms and hair. I think she ended up looking determined about something. That's it for tonight. Night All.

Safe Airport Trip

Mom and Meme made it safe to the airport today, headed for Florida and warmer weather. I also saw the golden compass today. It was okay. Today's sketch is out of my sketch archive again. I love the hair and stance. I think she looks tough. Night All.

The Circles The Circles

Spent most of the day grinding out some website structure in Illustrator. The circles are killing me, mostly cause I'm not paying proper attention. Today's sketch is from my sketchbook archive again. I really like the flow of it. I need to work up the forms a bit to make the finished panel. That's it for tonight. Night All.

Thribbit!

Not much today. Worked a lot in Illustrator today hopefully something to show for it soon. Did a quick sketch of one of a character I'm going to use in a story. It's still rough but it came out nice. Night All.

Good Friends And The Motor City Brewing Company

It was a joyous day today. I got to hang out with Rick (who is back from Iraq) and Dave (relocated from Pittsburgh) at the Motor City Brewing Company. It's a pretty awesome place. Small and with a trendy atmosphere, the food was eclectic and delicious. It wasn't smokey big plus. Best of all the Ginger Beer(Ginger Ale, Vernor's) was delicious with a great smell and light taste with no bitterness afterwords. I would definitely like to hang out there again. Today's sketch is from the archive again since I spent my day reconnecting with some good friends. I like the movement in it and the shape of the body. Night All.

Clean Teeth and Christmas Shopping

I went for the old teeth cleaning today. Everything check out okay. I went shopping for some potential Christmas gifts. I only have a few people checked off as of yet. Not a lot of sketching today so I again pulled from my sketch archive this picture of a gorgon. Snaky hair is fun. Okay I'm off to an early bed tonight. Night All.

Meme's Birthday Now With Cake

I spent most of the day today making a cake for meme's birthday. It was a red velvet cake and it turned out pretty well, despite the fact that I accidental put twice as much butter in the cake as I was suppose too. It still tastes great though. The sketch today is out of my sketch book archive. I really like this character and plan on using her in a story I'm working on. I like this out fit on her as well. That's it for today. Night All.

Having A Meh Day

I'm having one of those days where no things working out and I feel all wobbly. Hopefully a good nights sleep will fix me up. Tomorrow is meme's birthday so I'm going to bake a cake for her. I was watching the news today and I found it hilarious that Clinton is attacking Obama on the basis that his grade school teachers in Indonesia said that when he was five he said he was going to be president. Doesn't just about every kid say that at some point along with astronaut and a superhero? Oh well it gave me a laugh. Furthering my computer skills today I learned a bit more about Adobe Illustrator including how to make and imprint 3D shapes. I sketched this up today and I really like it. I'm definitely going to do some thing with these big headed characters. Night All.

Round Heads

I was working on my website today a little and in the process did this sketch of one my website characters. I think it came out really quite well. In other news, I've got to figure out why my hands are hurting so much. I had assumed it was just because of the erratic weather, but now I'm not quite so sure. Night All.

We Had Snow Really We Did

We had snow at the beginning of the day but it was all washed away by the rain. My hands really hurt today I'm not sure why maybe the front moving through or some thing, consequently I slacked off drawing much today. So, I went to my sketch books to find a sketch for today's post and found this one. I really like it in spite of the messed up hand. Blogger seems to be still trying to fix the picture issue from the end of last month. I hope they fix it soon. Okay that's it for today. Night All.

Oatmeal Cookies

I baked delicious Oatmeal Cookies today while watching meme. Meme really enjoyed watching me bustle around the kitchen mixing up the ingredients. I did get somethings done today, including this sketch. I'm not sure where exactly I'm going with it but it's off to a good start. That's it for today. Night All.
