Fun_Calt.DeathItAll

Ok, let's get off the nostalgia kick before we spiral into the don't-get-out-of-bed zone this weekend.

An idiotic card alter I did for practice...maybe my second card ever.

Stupid.

From that old envelope in the old file I found...these long-lost originals...thought I'd given them away, but I guess it was just the giant posters we made from these.

Ah.

Feeling really down. Nostalgia, man. Bittersweet.

This was the cover image of that old file I found the other day. I believe it was originally for some worksheet I made, and then I mashed them all together for some new game.
Out of curiosity about whether I'd posted all of these images, I went crawling around the Removal archives...so many memories in the old art I came across. I don't take photos of myself (aside from like references for hands and stuff), and I haven't really taken photos of people since college...so everything is wrapped up in these old drawings I've posted on this site over the years--we're closing in on ten years, aren't we? I saw this one, for instance and felt so strange...nostalgic, sad, I dunno.

I'd say I have difficulty being warm verbally. But I express my love for people with art. Just seeing old posts, and all the hidden meaning behind the art I can't express otherwise. Seeing people happy through my art. Making people happy through my art.

There is no other purpose.

Starting 2015 of the backlog run off right on the wrong foot or eight with my first card alter I ever did.

Awful.

But just testing the waters. Boom.

Finally! 2014 is in the backlogged books! Just one more year before we're caught up to being now three months behind schedule!

Sending off 2014 with a Moleskine sketch of our intrepid zeroes. Note, Zero is never supposed to wear pro-JE gear...

This was pretty fun. A rejected pitch about splashy things.

When faced with inferiority, it's complex, but Inktober seeks to simplify in '15.

4/4 measures lightyears less than we are.

By which they mean me.

It's in a book.

So it goes.

Added some stars to this because I was thinking about Mario for some reason.

It made sense at the crime.

A drawing for Inktober '15.

You can tell I didn't know what to draw because of all the nonsensical swirls at the top from which I stone-water-like extracted this drawing.

Also the character is just fuming angry for no reason and making some rando gesture, tell-tale signs I don't know what I'm doing.

But of course I know what I'm doing. I always do.

I went to Yale.

And here's our not-so-scary scary Inktober '15 piece.

I imagine she has some kind of pumpkin-based power. She's about to bravely fight off some horrible monster.

And die.

Adding some G-Pen inks to our punky pumpkin munchkin.

Thing with the G-Pen is you don't want to waste ink, so any extra invariably ends up in rando designs in the background or wutev.

Wanted to draw something vaguely horror-based for Inktober '15.

Taking a break from strolling down memory lane to whip out one of my very first paint-marker alters, complete with 5 cent ivy.

Can you guess the card? I'll give you a hint.

Too hard, huh? Didn't win? Admit it.

Ah! From the old file--long lost, unaired ZLMs! There they are! Just like that!

Ah, man, the old file had this old folded up envelope inside! Wonder what could be inside this!

Wowwwww just found this old file with a ton of old art I did from the early days in Japan, man.

Wonder what could be inside...

Moleskine live-ink drawing at Immigration. Awful.

It's Pizzagyaru, the hero pizza needs and deserves. But she's too busy for all that...

...nonsense.

Realized I haven't been posting Moleskine sketches--last one was posted in 2012?!.,;

Anyway, here's Zero and Nyao from my trip to the Japanese DMV.

She was always supposed to be more alien in her outfits for obvious reasons, while he inexplicably has all this custom clothing, despite apparently not having much money, though we never really got into that, actually.

Drew this for Inktober '15. I like the idea of a hero rendered tiny yet powerful by some huge giant threat.

I love the feeling of the hero vs. the world.

Doth it pass?

Sketching during Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar, I believe. It was Inktober '15.

And our Eldrazi Scion is complete.

I drew him just riffing off of the tear I made in the token.
Coloring was just a matter of making sure chunko here stands out over the heap of visual variety.

Next on the docket is a full-color Eldrazi Scion.

Oddly sentimental about this shot of color getting in his belly.
