guhh I spent way too long on this drawing and I don't like it.

Tim Gunn was in my dream last night!!! I don't actually remember what he was doing. Also I think it was a pretty bad dream, too. And now I'm downloading Green Lantern Corps because I have a crush on the art and I need more Guy in my life.

I just wanna post some stuff I've been really liking lately. What did Mia call it? Like an inspiration wall or something.

( stufffff )

Because fleur_de_liz kept talking about Booster wearing a scarf today and now it's in my head.

The other night I had a dream that I went to the comic store and Booster Gold was there! Like the last dream I had with Booster in it, we were good friends in this dream as well. And Booster gave me spoilers for the new issues of Booster Gold. He told me that in issue 27, Booster finds out that Ted is still alive.

Makin shit brownies! Yayy!

I totally didn't realize Doom Patrol came out today! Shit! I need my Metal Men Maguire fix!

Tomorrow I'm going to this thing that Michael Siglain is teaching! I'm super excited! Exclamation marks!

Just postin a few of my storyboards for my final film!! Just a little setup: this guy is a deep-sea diver, and while sailing on the ocean, he's stumbled upon an elevator that leads to a deep-sea aquarium: an aquarium at the bottom of the ocean.

( image heavy, of course )

My boards were well received in classss yayyy! I've been feeling pretty hardcore self loathing artwise this past week, but this made up for it. :] There is hope for meeee! My prof was tellin me how it seemed like I was really familiar with this character and that I had used him before! She even told the rest of the class to use my boards as an example of good character acting. AHH Intense ego booosttt

Why is this the most beautiful thing that's ever been created on the face of the earth?

My final film's gonna include a squid man with all 10 of his tentacles flailing wildly. Do I hate myself? Yes.

Also I did nothing for Halloween! Nothing!!!

I suckkkkkkkkkkk

I need to draw more comics and more from life!!!! Gahhh fuckk

space_fight, I've finally gotten my hands on some Madman and holy shit I haven't had a chance to actually READ it because the art is so damn PRETTY

Mike Allred's art is like the cute guy in school with nice hair who speaks rather softly and is overall a total dreamboat and you don't understand why he doesn't have a girlfriend but you realize you probably wouldn't appreciate him as much if he had one.

Man it's a been a while since I've been fangirlin over Japanese fanart. God I can't help it! They're so fucking good over there!

First, saving this link to this Young Justice artist (with a lil Teen Titans and Legion of Superheroes and... The Batman? What the fuck? Why would you do fanart for that show?)
ricken.tank.jp/joey/
All the fanarts that circulate from this artist seem to be the simpler, cutesier ones, so i was never really that interested, but holy shit, these two:
( not that I'm a young justice fan or anything )

I hate John K as much as the next guy, but I gotta say, it's depressing when I look through John K hate threads and see the despicable quotes that people post to exemplify his jackassery, and I end up agreeing with absolutely every one of them! Of course Mickey Mouse has no fucking personality! When has he EVER since, like, the 20s?! How can you even disagree with John K on that point?!

ANYWAY someone posted this interview with Bruce Timm where he mentions his time working for John K and it just made me jizz my pants:

( delicious Bruce Timm tears )
Imagining John K reaming Bruce Timm for his fake superhero crap art is like some weird fantasy crossover akin to 21 and 24's Anne Frank vs Lizzy Borden in epicness. How AWESOME is that?! I had no idea Bruce Timm worked for John K.

I wonder if John K liked Jack Kirby before he met Bruce Timm? If he didn't like Bruce Timm for his Jack Kirby inspired superhero stuff? AHHH the possibilities.

I'm really out of practice/in a rut with faces and I'm thinking about doing a series of drawings/paintings of people doing weird faces. Maybe I'll do it over winter break.

Thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday ♥

Also I feel it's important to mention that the closest issue of Booster Gold to my birthday contained Milagro making dolls of Booster and Beetle kissing. So I KINDA got that for my birthday as well.

Last year I had a fucking lonely ass birthday. My breakup was imminent and I didn't really have friends at school and I had no fandom or inspiration artwise and I was depressed all the time and gahhh last year SUCKED.

But THIS year:

eyepatchmcgee drew Esteban for me!!!! ♥ Because she's the biggest sweetie ever. (I tried drawing her character Lily in return but I didn't finish the picture)


Also, I got a goddamn hot ass FANFIC referencing my attempt at a Star Sapphire costume redesign on Booster. Thank you so much poisonivory!!!

Then I also got some extra sweet midnight ims and texts from people wishing me a happy birthday ♥

And now some things that have been making me hot under the collar lately:
( pictures )

Great things in my life right now:

1) The Boostle fandom, which is basically the most positive fandom I've ever been in.
2) Actually making friends in school, including people who I had planned to make friends with last year and never made friends with!!
3) Me and eyepatchmcgee are having a passionate romance of telling each other our story ideas and it's super awesome.
4) I made friends with the TA in digicomp and she told me my art reminded her of Venture Bros, which is a huge compliment ♥
5) People seem to like Esteban and my final film idea!
6) My animation professor from last year just gave me a gig's worth of fucking silver age Marvel comics!!
7) Kerry-Ann, the woman for whom I'm doing logo and graphic design, is a super sweetie to me, and offered me a place in her business when it starts up.
8) I have a whole internet's worth of delicious Colin Morgan pictures to look at. Nnnn ♥
9) Kelly's visiting NY this week so we get to hang out!
10) I've kinda got a color palette down for my final film!
11) NEW BOOSTER GOLD THIS WEEK

I seem to have post-nasal drip without ever having actually been sick, which is not fun. Maybe I'm getting sick in reverse?

Does anyone on my flist watch QI? Who's excited for the new series?!

Drawing is theraputic, but I'm definitely not in a good drawing groove right now. I really wanna get more Esteban done AND work on my final film as well. Sighhh

Also my birthday was not this week! It's Oct 21st! sorry for the confusion, dudes and dudettes.

My birthday's on a Wednesday this year! Which means I have no class that day. Whiiiich means I'm probably going to do absolutely nothing that day. SIGH

Chew #5 comes out that day... aaand the DCU Halloween special, and the new issue of Invincible, but I don't really follow Invincible anymore I guess. WHY IS NO ONE ELSE READING CHEW! I WANT TO FANGIRL OVER IT WITH SOMEONE

Going home this weekend because I'm going to die of boredom in NY, which actually sounds ridiculous now that I say it.

Anyway thanks for being so supportive with my last entry, guys ♥ You're sweethearts. I'm still pretty moody, but I'm cheering up.

EDIT: Oh yeah btw I showed my Bat kitties animation in class, and it was really well received, despite me totally hating it right before I turned it in. I always get this post-animation panic where ALL I see are the bajillion mistakes in the animation, and all the missing frames, all the horrible screwups, and all the drawing mistakes, too. But then I show it in class for the critique and my prof is super nice and excited about my stuff, and it's just the ultimate validation that I can suck and still be passable. It was great because someone in the class asked if the animals in the animation were chinchillas and my prof replied in a very STERN, almost OFFENDED manner, "They're KITTIES!" But yeah I'm an insecure mess, so it's great to get validation once in a while.
