This is how I feel like at the moment. Like I just had 6 shots of espresso; like there's a full moon out there; like my blood is stirring; like I'm in 7th grade and I see that girl I like heading my way in this narrow hallway gahh look a penny on the floor pickitup! Okay, that still happens now. ( ._.);;
Well whatever it is, it's weird because it's not like I've been sitting in my usual boba place drinking some factory strength cofftea concoction. At least it got me sketching. I think that piece will fit in nicely with the ones already in the shop, yah?
We shall see!
Tomorrow.. ( z_z)
Weathered it down a bit.
Now I'm trying to remember if there were a lot of dead leaves inside the buildings of The Last of Us. Would clickers get drawn to other clickers stepping on the leaves? Imagine stealth elements that incorporate the environment for TLOS. I guess you might as well have Joel say "metal gear" over and over.
"clickerrr.." (in raspy metal gear voice)
Anyway, I like this. I am trying to take more time with my concepts nowadays. My past industry jobs usually had me crank out pieces within a day or two, and it's a hard habit to break.
Toink! And the set is complete! (for now) I think it's ready. No? Maybe I am being hasty. I will check again later before putting it up on the shop. Besides, it's below 59° F in my room which gives me an excuse to dig a burrow in my bed and just watch anime or something. That's what below 59° does. In the absence of a female companion, of course.
(cricket sounds)
This blog is probably not helping sales. hm.
Anyway! Hope it's liked.
Update - Uploaded to shop! -> Café Octo
The Witcher. Geralt of Rivia.
Lunchbreak sketch. No avoiding it. Everytime the books mentioned him pirouetting out of danger, I was envisioning this.
(If you parry with a pirouette, is it now a parruoette? What if you're a parrot?)
Hehe. Just a quickie animation of the octogirl for kicks. Fun fun.
Maybe I'll do a better treatment later. ^_^
Would you go out with a tentacle person? What if they weren't slimy?

Octo-bear take II.
Revisited this... "Shirokuma of the Sea". Such a majestic beast deserved more than a quick pass. Well, I also just felt like drawing some of my favorite sea creatures. Although, I forgot to put the derpy box-fish. hmm.
Did you know that sharks will go into a sleep like state, or tonic immobility, when flipped upside down? Just learned that a few weeks ago. Wow. Some orcas have actually learned to flip rays (shark cousins) and sharks so they eat 'em proper. I put my pancake and eggs to sleep before I eat them too.
So there: in honor of Shark Week, that shark is not suffering or dead - just asleep.
Some Ghost ideas for Destiny 2 with the pyramid weapon designs in mind. (I call them "contemporary museum of modern art field trip" style) (I really think Bungie went on a field trip and came back slapping museum motifs on everything and I don't mind it at all.) Concept eventually evolved into the Nyatness ghost-skin.
Allo' Gov'na'!!

We all know this dance.
People rushing, always rushing, towards something that they're afraid to miss out on. Nevermind the elbows to the eyes and the toes to be stepped on. If they stop pushing others around and instead made way for the their neighbors, maybe the ones who actually are in need - if they start stepping back, saying, "Oh hey... you go on ahead. I can wait," - we, all of us, may never get what we really want, but at least the line to get there wouldn't be so uncomfortable. We might actually find that it's quite pleasant, waiting in line, if we're all in it together.
Breaking away from the sword and sorcery with a little sci-fi to soothe the soul. [:
