You just capture me like armed robbery

[maypirate]

Because I was at Wizard Con last weekend, I didn't have to work on a Saturday! It was total madness! It revealed to me a world as many other people live it, one where they are not trapped indoors for 8.5 hours regardless of weather. It was fascinating.

But today, back to work I go. I think that's sorta lame, especially since it's so nice out (ignoring the caveat that I would probably sit on my porch if I didn't have to work and not actually touch the outdoor niceness with my hands but anyway).

In the spirit of that, here are some arts that I've done in the past...while that I haven't posted. Some of them are "misfires" in my opinion. Or weird. Or not. I'm not sure. It really depends on the day.

For a while now, I've been trying to draw more advanced/defined faces, and it's been frustrating me, and I tend to hide stuff. I think that, in order to come to terms with my artistic limitations and try to find a zennish place within them, I will try to continue to post more art in the coming days.



My brain is tied on with pretty bows! This was jou's idea, but I can't remember the context...





Thomas Seyr, from the movie "The Beat That My Heart Skipped." I draw reel peoples?



Ai from Hell Girl. Initially she was reacting to a larger, more advanced picture of herself that I didn't like, but I decided to scrap that and keep the annoyance. I just can't seem to draw her right. I think it's her ridiculous eyes.



I've actually drawn a lot of stuff for Bonnie and Clyde but none of it seems right. This was my favorite one until I realized that her has was blowing backwards but his hat...was...falling forwards? What? Apparently in my world, the wind blows two directions at once. Whoops.



Tom. Regular Aidanverse Tom. Tom is writing a novel. See Tom write. Write, Tom, write. That's supposed to be his cat under the table, but I forgot to color it so it actually looks like the cat's white boyfriend Dalton.



Gideon Mack and the Devil, from the book "The Testament of Gideon Mack," which I read not too long ago and really enjoyed but then forgot to talk about. Maybe I'll get on that soon. Anyway, Gideon is a Scottish minister. The Devil is uhh...flirty. I think I want them to slash it up.



Temperance Brennan from "Bones." This actually goes with my one Bones story, where she came out completely insane. I sort of like this one, but I'm worried about the position of her head.

Mmm, delicious nuts forensic anthropology...


Yesterday Adia played "Trog" three times. I'm sort of wondering if we can do that again today.

Oh, these are gorgeous! Bonnie and Clyde are fucking adorable, and I especially love his hat. Temperance Brennan is freaking me out deeply. "The Testament of Gideon Mack" sounds like something I need in my life.

Oh Clyde and his goddamn hat. Graaarg.

Read my creepy Bones story! Moohoohahaha...or not. I would very much enjoy it if you read Gideon Mack, because I bet you would be inspired to write awesome things and I would reap the benefits. ;)

I will do this! I warn you, I have not seen any of Bones, so I won't know what's going on, but I'm sure I can appreciate the creepy anyway. ♥

I will add the book to my "to read" list!

Very nice! I really like the last one. I support your sharing more arts.

I went to yoga this morning and it was so hot. Why don't they turn on the AC?! I don't like dripping sweat onto my mat. This isn't bikram yoga, damnit! But it was good nonetheless.

This was my favorite one until I realized that her has was blowing backwards but his hat...was...falling forwards? What? Apparently in my world, the wind blows two directions at once. Whoops.

This is actually perfectly reasonable if the hat was placed at such an angle that the brim was slightly below the plane of the wind. It's blowing the hat down against his face. I often have this happen when I am riding my bike!

MIKKE HAS SAVED THE DAY.

Thank you, I like that idea so much. :)

...I feel like I should make an icon out of the picture I have of you sleeping at Ycon solely to use in conjunction with your icon.

What mikkeneko said. It looks like the wind is blowing his hat down instead of forward. I say let it continue to be your favorite! There's no reason to think otherwise that mine eyes have seen.

Also, perhaps I am predisposed to like people named "Tom", but Thomas Seyr is hella cute.

Thank you Joface. And thank you for commenting too. Your comments really are always important to me, especially here. *hugs tight*

I think you might like his actual face. Yet another movie I will add to the growing list of things I would like to show you someday.

Aaaaagh you were in Chicago for Wizard Con? I wish I'd've known I wouldn've harassed you to hang out! Even if uh, we haven't spoken in FOREVER AND A HALF. Or something.

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

It was only two days and I was floppin' around doing nothing. Also, it's not like I don't live fairly close to Chicago in general. So it's really a matter of telling me when I need to be there. ;)

And you know, this talking thing is true. I was thinking about you and that fact just the other day!

[look-alive.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know Wizard Con happened til like two days ago Carrie said something about it. I'm an utter failure as a comics BFA. How did I not realize you lived relatively close to here? I work retail so like, my schedule is beyond weird but I always have time to hang out because I don't do... anything. The only real time constraint I have is that I'm moving on August 31 and July 21-24 I'm camping in the Alleghenies. XD

Yeah! I always read your LJ and then I was just thinking, Woah, how have we not talked in like, a year. Over a year. Damn! I quit OMG_FMA, btw. Months ago.

I could curl up with your art and it would keep me warm.

I think Clyde looks like he pushed his hat down in order to keep from losing it in the wind. I don't know anything about their real relationship, but it suggests things. Things that I like.
