Since last week, I started doodling more inside class. As I said before, this really surprises me. I'd always found drawing in free time fun, but I rarely have had free time since 7th grade. (I know, I'm a butt- I prefer drawing at school than at home, where I have all the time in the world!) But since a few weeks into the new school year, I finally got a schedule going. (I end up doing the exact same things on certain days, like talking to a certain friend before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays or something weird like that.)
My school is set up as A and B days, where you have 4 classes each day, and you go back and forth, like:
A: math, chemistry, drama, PE
B: english, spanish, foods, history (I just wrote random classes for the example)
So one week is A, B, A, B, A; and the next is B, A, B, A, B. Does this make sense?
Anyways, so on A days I go to a certain friend's lunch table (since he likes doing handshakes I'll call him Handshake). I usually bring lunch from home, so I finish earlier than some people. I leave, go up so I'm near the door to my next class, just sit on the floor and take out my notebook, where I guess I'll be keeping most of my drawings.
That's where/when I do most of my artwork now. Just from the few days I've been doing this system, look at what I've accomplished!
And I finally came up with a new character design. First I started with kinds of hats, then faces, and then the outfits. I experimented a little, and decided on the official characteristics. (Oh, and at the top left corner was an attempt at drawing my book character with different eyes... not good. I can't figure out how to draw someone I came up with myself!)
She pretty much has the hat I've always wanted. It looks kinda like Finn's hat. I saw one just like this but it had his face on it too, but I just wanted it white! Grrrrr Cartoon Network! Her hair is short, because I feel like hats look better with short hair, and I want it to look different compared to me, who has ginormous long permed hair. She also wears huge sweaters that always cover her hands, cuz I like doing the same thing, and I no longer have to worry about hands! (kinda like Mabel on Gravity Falls, but generally are simpler) She wears either skinny jeans or straight leg jeans (no conture). Her shoes will probably just be black with the white rubber stuff on the toe like Converse.
I tried drawing her sitting with her knees up, just like how I look while drawing her! XD
(the first she's looking up, and on the second I tried to get her to look more downwards, but it just makes her look sad)
I'm not the best at it, but for some reason I still like drawing like that sometimes.
She's pretty much done, except for her name...
Now to the other thing I was gonna talk about.
I discovered a fan-fiction comic book on Google while I was looking for pictures of Danny Phantom (I wanted to try drawing his hair cuz I suck at guy hair). As usual, I found a ton of awesome fan drawings. Then I saw a picture that looked cool, so I went to the link. Turned out it was part of an entire book! So after that, every time I got to get on the laptop, one of my priorities was reading the whole thing. I finally accomplished getting all the pages downloaded onto my desktop so I can read it as often as I want until the laptop dies!
(Here is the link for all you wonderful bored people! http://slifertheskydragon.deviantart.com/gallery/293913)
Something cool I found was that the artist held a contest for other people on deviantart to send different versions of Danny with different back-stories, and he put a bunch of them into the last page ever made. I looked at all the submissions the internet let me see, and it was awesome to see all of the great Dannys created, especially the stories behind them. Oh how I love back-stories!
There is one thing that bugs me, however, is that on the last page, the artist tells that it's becoming hard to publishing the pages on a weekly basis and for people to be patient. I can't find the date where pictures are published on deviantart (which is stupid cuz I wanna know!) so instead I went to the earliest comments on there. Now get this:
The last one was done on Christmas of 2010.
I am super mad at them! He talked about how he was losing motivation to keep going with the story. But there were, I think, 43 pages of comments, all of them saying they wanted more. And they all started since the end of 2010! There was even one from a few days ago! Is that enough motivation, Mr. Artist?! I wanna rip him apart!
But it's not because he stopped posting on deviantart. Nooooooooo. He is still doing new artwork TO THIS DAY.
*deep breath* RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!! *flails arms about and runs into a wall*
I love using the star thingies to show action! *stares upon all beneath her and smiles creepily* *thinks ooh, how I'd love to feast upon all your flesh and bring fear upon the world like Light in DeathNote* *realizes she's a horrible person and runs away shaking from tears* *then remembers slifertheskydragon and how he refuses to continue a story people have waited almost 3 years for* *stalks him on the internet and finds his address, shows up at his door, and go freaky insane on him and ends up torturing him to death* *escapes with no trace of her murder* *notices how much she enjoyed that experience* *now smiles creepily at the laptop screen stalking others, waiting for someone to annoy her and think I bet you taste delicious and continue with her crimes* *ends up worse than when this paragraph started and goes to an insane asylum and bring disgrace to her family*
...What's wrong with me?
