You know, it's funny, it used to be that when I'd look at the popular deviations on here, it'd be very disheartening because so many of them were so amazing.  But lately, most of what I see on here is just...meh.  Now Pixiv on the other hand...whoa!  Anyway, at least I'm back in productive mode and have a reason to be coming to this site again!

Now, back to that productivity...

I've finally gotten off (on?) my butt and started a new piece or two, most notably, part two in my "Battle of the Child Prodigies" series.  I've also leaped on the pixiv bandwagon just for lulz.  Peep game: www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=37….
More to come.

Oy, dat's gotta hoyt.

OK, my last journal entry was a little harsh, so I'm using this one to bump it.  
Here are tonight's thoughts of randomisity:
> Skating - still rocks, even at 33.  Just try and stop me.
> Houston - have you heard them?  If not, what are you waiting for?
> Lamictal - it's what the doctor ordered, will it be what the patient ordered?
> Japan - only 30 days to go!
> Pizza - could I live without it?  I doubt it.
> Movies - you know I love 'em.  I've got some doozies lined up for the evening, so it's time to get to 'em.

Get Over It

Chomp!

Man, am I sick of young, beautiful, talented people acting all melodramatic like their lives are SO miserable.  Yeah, you're f@#$ing 18 years old and have 5000 friends.  Must be rough!  

Try being a 33 year old balding ghoul with 5 friends (4 of whom are now married with children, and 3 of whom live out of state).  Let's see how gloomy your life is in comparison.  Oh yeah, and forget a significant other, try finding ANYONE your age who shares your interests when you're this old, and your favorite things in life are skateboarding, anime, and death metal.

Try being in a dead-end job where you have zero authority over anything you do and you practically have to fill out a form and have it approved by the president of the company just to go to the bathroom.  

Try coping with the realization that there are people half your age who are twice as good at everything you try to do.  

And let's not forget, throw two alcoholics in your immediate family into the mix, one of whom is apparently becoming senile, the other of whom is unmarried w/child, living at home, and has been in and out of jail several times.  Lemme tell ya, holidays are a blast!

And while I'm in tirade mode - GOTH is not the same as EMO children.  Let's get it straight.  And especially not mall goth.  Still Life, Falling Forward, Split Lip, Current, et al never wore eye make-up, painted their fingernails, or combed their professionally-dyed-black hair over their eyes.  

I know I'm not going to win any friends with such talk, but hell - I'd rather have my integrity than be friends with clueless brats.

Well, it took pert near a year, and it damn near killed me (my neck may never be the same), but The Cult of Cute character designs are finally done.  

OK so first of all, I realize I should've inked them properly - pencil looks like suck when scanned.  

Secondly, I'm never touching a sketch pad again as long as I live (worst   paper    EVER!!).

But overall, it was a learning process.  Some successes, some failures, but I never claimed to be an artist - I'm a writer dang it!  I'm just doing the art for this series because I couldn't find anyone to help me.  Fortunately, I had some fun along the way and some of the characters turned out much better than I could've hoped for.  Yeah, they still pretty much suck, but they don't suck AS BAD as I thought they would.  So that's something.  

Now I just have to finalize the amulet design, and do the layouts for the scenery for the primary locations for the story, and it's go time!  Yesssssss....
