I Apologize For The Upload Spree (unless You Follow A Lot Of People)—but I Am Re-uploading The Finished

>tfw you’re writing a rough draft for something and it actually alludes to the fact that coffee beans might be extinct or absurdly rare by 2080—ergo, coffee would be an extremely expensive black market luxury at the rate we’re going at.

I’m so glad that I managed to finish this tonight! It’s been something I’ve been wanting to finish for a while now. That said, I’ve learned that my current stamina for drawing without getting hand cramps is somewhere in the ballpark range of about 6 straight hours.

Anyway, enjoy these sad saps.

I’m not sure if this horrified bathroom selfie properly expresses the horror of starting 2018 with watching the rotting pile of trash known as Grown Ups 2 at a friend’s party.

Today's #throwbackthursday is brought to you by a WIP based off of UCF's branding. It feels oddly appropriate to bring this up while I'm seriously thinking about going back to school at FSU. . . . . . #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustration #ucf #pegasus #yellow #black #gold #horse #wings https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fhsxihN13/?igshid=htgdbyvvckia

I’ve been working on my current rebranding from weliad to Dandy Rebel, and other than the first letter, I think I have the general draft of how I want the first part of the logo ready to go.

Also, I swear that these aren’t the final colors. I just wanted to fiddle with them because I usually use turquoise as the color I draft things in, so I figured that it’d be fun to make an orange and turquoise halftone during the process, before I do proper inking, make a vector version of the file, etc.

If there's anything I'm proud of today, it's that my Halloween pumpkin that I doodled at my day job today managed to earn me a Pez dispenser that's shaped like Eleven from Stranger Things.

I am weirdly proud of myself for this

I wrote the thing. I wrote a slice-of-life Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusader’s fanfic involving stupid parlor tricks. All in three hours.

You’re welcome, but also, why do I feel like this is a mistake? It’s safe for work and relatively innocuous, but still.

Also, the title is a slight modification of the first lyric in Cherry by Chromatics. Go listen to that—it’s a really good song, I promise.

I’m gonna make it a point to do my streams on Thursdays, so feel free to drop on in to watch me draw and nitpick over a webcomic that doesn’t have that many pages!

Ok, so I was 7000 shy of winning NaNoWriMo until my left hand decided to cramp up and hate me. It really hurts. My knees are also aching.

I'm letting a few friends read the alpha draft of a story I have wanted to write for a long time. (Because hooray, Google Docs!). I also think I want to slam out the whole book's rough draft before 2018, and then edit next year.

And I have a job interview for a design production job tomorrow, and that's super cool.

I'm also gonna go back to doing comic live streams on Saturdays. I miss doing comic stuff.

I forgot to upload this here, although I did it a while ago with a friend who I did a lot of design challenges with to keep both of our skills as sharp as possible. We tend to alternate who comes up with the theme, and it was his turn when we got to this one.

We basically tried to design something based around the Bruce Lee quote “Be Water, My Friend”— which is a really eloquent quote. We also had a time limit of about 45 minutes.

Anyway, I’ve made these into stickers a few times. They were actually really popular at the last exhibition I had my work in. Also, this is transparent for all of your transparent needs.

Lastly, I should also note that the overlaid image -is- public domain, but it’s the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, if you don’t know it.
