Well, uh…………yeah, I said a while ago that if I drew anything that somewhat resembled something decent, i’d upload it, and here is said abomination. The drawing itself wasn’t anything magnificent from the start; her face is too wide, the eye’s are too slanted, nose is pretty awful-looking, etc. But that’s besides the point. I wanted to see how well I could trace, color and shade something I drew with photoshop. What I discovered is that shading is just as much of a pain in the ass as it’s made out to be.
Personally, I like the shading on the hair, albeit the hair color and highlights may be a bit too bright/sharp. I originally intended the picture to be a full-body drawing, but I got to the hands, realized that they SUCK ASS to draw, stopped, and just did this. Given a bit more practice I could probably do some decent-looking work, but for a first shot at basically everything, I’m satisfied enough with this.
Oh, and while I had photoshop open I made a quick wallpaper with a pre-cutout image, just to use it. It’s nice, but I totally cheated on everything and used tons of premade brushes for basically the whole picture :P
Yea, I’m pretty much addicted to buying manga now. It’s not even to read them much either; I still do most of that online with scans and whatnot. Main reason being to preserve the condition of the manga I’ve bought. Not like I’ll sell it anyway, but I guess it’s just natural to want collectable items in the best possible condition. I swear, it’s like pokemon cards all over again, and I’m mindlessly drawn into it without any hope of breaking the habit. But hey, at least manga can be displayed nicely as a collection. Cards you just keep in a deck locked away somewhere to preserve. Next will be anime figurines; oh god, my wallet is crying already.
I should, however, not buy much for a while, since I want to save money for a new computer, just in case I can’t student loan one. This desktop is starting to see the end of it’s days, and it’s about time for an upgrade anyway. 1GB of RAM isn’t so hot anymore. Not sure what i’ll get yet, but it’ll be a laptop, and it’ll be better than this thing I have now.
Seriously, today is going to drag on F O R E V E R. It’s only 3rd period and it feel like it’s taken 6 hours just to get here. Ugh. And once school’s over I’m gonna have to run like a bat out of hell to catch the bus to the mall, or i’ll be waiting for quite a while and it’ll suck.
If you’ve never played the Ninja Gaiden for the original Xbox, go get it. You’ll find it at pretty much any gamestop on the $10 rack with all the other Xbox games, and I can’t think of a better game to spend $10 on. And even if you haven’t, go get NG2 today. DO IT.
I’d say I’ll write a review or comment on the game later tonight after I play it, but the thought of me doing something besides playing it untill I pass out tonight is pretty funny.
EDIT: NEVERMIND I WAS LIED TO IT DOSEN’T COME OUT UNTILL TOMORROW ARGH.
School needs to fucking end. Noone cares about anything anymore, it’s just 7 1/2 hours of sitting here doing nothing each day, it’s mind-numbing. I’d prefer to do something for once, even if it was just to give me a reason to slack off. You can’t slack off when you’re not doing anything in the first place. Oh, and people in this class playing random flash games need to STOP FUCKING SCREAMING. You won Tetris/centipede/asteroids/whatever. We get it. Now shut up.
Didn’t watch Air the other day like I planned, instead decided to finish up Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, since thats yet *another* show I started watching forever ago and didn’t finish. I thought i was farther into it then I actually was though (though I was around 17 or something, was only at 12). Up to 20 now though, i’ll finish it up later tonight. Maybe i’ll do Black Lagoon in the next few days as well. Air can wait, after F/SN and playing tsukihime, another VN-adaptation animu can wait.
Oh, thats right, get to try out that new Touhou fighting game, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, when I get home today. Saw it finished downloading last night before I went to bed, but was too tired to care for trying it out. Hopefully it dosen’t suck.
This post looks boring, theres no pictures of anything in it. That’s what happens when you proxy-post from school though, I guess. Oh well, possible Higurashi-thoughts-post later, so that’ll probably looks prettier. Why does ‘Prettier’ look like it’s spelled wrong for some reason?
I’m moving out in 2 months. Holy crap. I’ve known the date I’m moving out for a while now, but it’s just now hitting me how damn close it is. 2 months, heh, it’s kinda scary in a way. I’m generally looking foward to it though, for personal reasons.
