Hammered

the multi-colored bic pen strikes again!! here are a couple doodles i finished up while studiously paying attention in class. no better way to stay awake in class and feel like i'm accomplishing something.

"Hammered"

"Lady in Red"

and if you're REALLY curious, click here, and here to see both in their absolute origianl form, without the white highlights from photoshop.

in other news, my body is slowly yet surely mutating into a fish... or a fish-like...human-like creature. i need to drink water every 3 minutes or my mouth dries up, and i start going into these convlusive fish spasms on the ground.. it'd be more practical at this point to invest in a fish bowl/tank in which i could soak in all the moisture i need, and properly mutate the gills. however, becoming a super-fish-human, i'll finally be able to swim.... AT THE SPEED OF DOLPHIN!!!! that will actually be the newly coined catch-phrase i'll be using as well to compliment my newfound powers, before, during, or just after using said powers.

anyways.. see you people next time . . . AT THE SPEED OF DOLPHIN!

sKATANA - with color

just more coloring practice, in search of more skill. i'm starting to get into all the doodles i did at work over the summer. . . at this rate i'll have nothing old left to practice on, which means i'll have to start drawing again. haha................. kidding.

"sKATANA"

been sick as of a day or so ago... i feel like the equivalent of the mass of my brain has leaked out of my right nostril...

on a more positive note, i helped a young lady rescue her fruit snacks wich were stuck in a vending machine by giving it two good side kicks. karate helping people, one kick at a time...

speaking of karate, here's an inspirational video...


and i haven't laughed this hard in a while after seeing this:

Fooly Cooly Color Practice

just some more color practice on some old stuff..

"Peace of Mind"

Just another typical day in the life of Naota. Nothing extraordinary... (FOOLY COOLY... weird/great show)

"Pirate-Ninja"

the pirate ninja, the middle entity of what some may call a 'holy' war between pirates and ninjas set in place before the beginning of time to keep all creation in balance.. symbol of ultimate and bitter hate and apocalyptic foreshadowing.. or sweet and sour love. depends on which side you don't take.

"Chaos"

yep.. just trying to find some different rythmn to add to life by breaking out of the 'routine' habits you create from repeating things over, and over, and over... like drawing, music, fighting, or whatever it is that you do. everything shares the same elements when you really break something down far enough.

StreetFighter and Lots of Sketchbook

ART DUMP GALORE!!!!

so, i colored this and here's the final lookin' thing. just playin' around with colors and stuff...


random doodles in class:

french graffiti guy..


old samurai guy...

a.. happy asian??


an astronaut. obviously.


scarf guy...


some stuff from my LORD OF THE RINGS marathon/sketchbook:
i pretty much have all three movies in my sketchbook, it's pretty cool actually. heheh. here's just a few sketches i threw some white highlights on..





and i HATED this steward guy. who didn't.

megaman badguy desgin: "splashman"
apparently capcom did a 'splashWOMAN' and tried to oneup me. she's weak against the hornet dude, if you ever want to kill her fast.

"Michael Chambers" aka "Boogaloo Shrimp" aka "Turbo" from 'Breakin'
wanna see his moves?? click here for the 'broom dance scene. click here for more awesome.

random desgins to make figure drawing homework more exciting.
top - city janitor team, complete with mr. clean belt buckles. bottom - construction doods

i call him.... FAT FACE.

based off my thought that we should have statues, that don't even have to be about real people, but have cool plaques with descriptions about how they helped save the world from evil, etc. the best way to make a statue more cool is to give it a big weapon. i should make statues for a living to improve the culture of the community.

my right hand.

more right hands, finally tried a more cel-shady look i'll be doing more of.

apes.

RRRYYYYan SOOOO SERIOUS!?!?!

so, to be short, thanksgiving was filled with many a pie, turkey, and juice. all of which fit happily into my stomach compartment without any complaints.

Ryan and Mandy came by, and whilst they were on route, I couldn't help staring at this picture and decided to surprise him with a fun little photo manip. thing.

this is right after the part where The Joker asks Shakeman in "The Dark Shake" if he wants to know how The Joker got his scars, and Shakeman says "...yes. tell me everything." The Joker just gets this really crazy look in his eye. remember? heh.

on another bat-like note, i'm still trying to find old stuff to color to keep meself busy and the photoshop exp. flowing as i slowly build up to kill some boss i'll probably run into in some dank, dark cave where lays hidden somewhere the legendary masamune blade. so yeah, colored this.

i woulda kept pushing the contrast, or maybe messin' with the colors, but i don't like spending too much time on pictures when there's turkey a-foot.

anywho, rocked out with the family to all three extended versions of the lord of the rings. got some sketches a-coming. it's funny i think, how we can become so attached to something that isn't real. like movie characters, or stories, and experiences in the movie that never really happened... i dunno. it just makes me really appreciate life that much more when you see how sad or void a person or story gets without real closure or explanation, and the ultimate form of all closure and explanations are in the plan, which is rarely hinted to or included in a movie, and you either forget about it in the story and feel hopelessness for a character or a sense of longing for some more ultimate form of living that includes whatever awesome thing you were just a part of through your visual experience. we're just so conditioned to see an ending - to a movie, a story, or even a real person. makes life seem a little sour sometimes in contrast, but eternity has gotta be pretty sweet, once you pass on to that side of life.

Chocoboy

hello.

here's an old picture i drew for a mission colleague (you call 'em "colleagues" in Europe, or else people think you're gay. haha.) needed to color after watching Final Fantasy Advent Children.




and....... just found out i never posted this - the FIRST picture i ever drew with my tablet.

was gonna put some evil eyes in the back in the dark somewhere, but never got around to it. just pretend they're there. heh. enjoy.
nothing interesting or abnormal things going through my head or my life these days to bother to type about. however, took a little trip to the temple and i am feeling very motivated/positive/optimistic about... pretty much everything at the moment.

once i get around to editing some photos i took with my camera, i'll perhaps throw those up here as well. fun stuff.

LEVEL UP! can now play as "RYU"

a beat please *ahem*
slippin' into street fights soaked in neon lights. only way outta this life, is right through yo' demons that try to keep you from reachin' the highest heights. You know the ones, the ones that try to hold yo' face into the head lights if you be freezin', bendin' over knees, weak and weezin' and wrestlin' with mights when the car crashes, and it's too late to hope, cuz you be ashes and smithereans. washed out and burned with listorines, flavors like scope, dirt and never again will we see the ol' rope-a-dope.



couldn't resist throwin a little rhyme together for this picture i am titling "street fights and neon lights" WAAAAy fun. i think this is the best job i've EVER done in photoshop. heh. originally was going with some weird old chinese brown scroll-ish sorta look, which obviously did NOT happen. Feels good to finally get this one outta o' the way - it's been a huge distraction. now i can go do something else with my life. lots o' symbolism for yuh - especially if you know a little bit about streetfighter. just wiki it, or click here to read more about the main dood in this pic.
