Busy busy busy

Sorry for the absence but the holidays can be a busy time for me. Probably for everyone else too. Christmas was good. I've been eating fish for the past week. It's a tradition that we have lots of fish on Christmas and afterward I'm so sick of it all I just want to eat beef. So I helped my friend move back home a day ago. He's going back to school to pursue something he's passionate about. Something I can definitely relate to. We took a break for lunch and I demanded we get a burger. I just needed that influx of red meat after a week of fish. The new Modern Warfare has kept me from sketching for a few days. I'm back into my daily routine though. There is only so much time I can spend playing video games before I want to spoon my eyes out. Here's four sketches to make up for my absence. They're all magic cards. Look for a future post where I inked and colored Krosan Colossus. Thanks for reading about my brainsplosion.

Christmas Time Rant

Christmas is quickly approaching. I love Christmas but I hate Christmas time. Everything is busy. I go to my local B&N to sketch and read magazines to which I don't subscribe. I usually stop at a Starbucks on the way even though they have a cafe with Starbucks coffee. Their cafe isn't the best. Anyway, it's now ten times harder to find a table and it's so noisy. I have to lock my crappy-ass car if there is even a trace of something I care about. The lines are much longer if I wanna buy something. Not to mention the roads are filled with crazies that never drive. When it starts snowing everything is worse. I'm a humbug. That was my rant. Here's some digital art as I'm gonna rescan this last sketchbook. They all turned out terribly. The first is from Alien obviously. The second is from the internet I think. The last one is a magic card called Time Warp except that I never drew the wizard. I couldn't get him right and decided to omit him. Thanks for reading about my brainsplosion.

Nothing To Do Here

Alrighty I'm back. My knee is still killing me and my d-bag brain keeps playing the embarrassing scene of dislocating my knee in front of an entire bar in my head over and over again. I don't have much to say tonight so I'll leave it at that and get to the uploading of the arts. The first is a picture I found online and the rest are from magic cards. Thank you for reading about my brainsplosion.

Just FYI

Sorry for not posting. I hurt my knee recently. Popped it out and then into my socket. I've done it before and ever since then I do it once a year. Unfortunately I'll be unable and it would be unwise for me to walk. My computer with my scans and digital art on it is downstairs so it's in an inaccessible zone of the house. I'll be posting again in the near future. If I can extrapolate how much I improved these last two days I'd say it'll only be a week at most. Maybe only a day or two before I'm heading downstairs. Thanks for understanding.

Original Works Ahead

I was recently informed that December is Pokemon profile picture month on Facebook. Obviously unofficial and completely nerdy. I pledged to draw one each day. This pledge led to a breakthrough in my art. After months and months of drawing copies of pictures I find online or in magazines I finally decided to set out to create an image based on reference photos. I gathered up some pictures of mushrooms and crabs and drew my very own version of Parasect. I'll post it later, maybe all 30 days as a single post. From this moment on I'll be trying to create more of these originals. Now on to the sketches. The first is a bug warrior I found online. I think it was a figurine. The second is a Magic card Orzhov Guildmage. What the hell, here's a digital sketch of a shipwreck that I did based off an online pic.Thank you for reading about my brainsplosion.

Did Someone Divide by Zero?

Incredible. My day was incredible. I went to my college campus to see if I could pick up my classes where I left off when I left for health problems and so far it's looking good. Looks like I won't have to retake or repay for them. Then, to top it all off, some incredibly cute girl strikes up a conversation with me and I get her number. I guess life still has some good days to offer me.The first sketch is from Guild Wars 2 concept art. It was in a magazine. The second is the magic card Howl From Beyond. I drew it around Halloween.
