STRANDEAD - a pirate's life for we???

ahhhhhh.... colored this up just now. i drew this.. ummmmmmm...... 3 or 4 years ago???? heheh.
maybe more. anyways, this sort of started this really fun story in my head, and hopefully it gets on paper soon.


advice? thoughts? whatever.
so... i also went parkour-ing for the first 'o'fficial time last thursday. i'm still not back to one-hundred-percent, because my upperbody got DESTROYED. but yeah, it was a fun experience - all related to what i typed about backflipping.

yep.

missionary planners: doodlez to the MAXX!!

heh.. so, it was requested by a cool former missionary companion that i put up some doodles from all the missionary planners i had. hmmmmmmmmm....... good idea.

so here's the best of the best of the best - covering 16 total different planners.










yep.

Band(s)

colorin' up some more old lines - always fun drawing people playing musical instruments for some reason...

this is like that one moment you had at the concert - you know, on stage. where you slayed everyone soooo hard with your epic axe of rock until it built up to that one climactic moment where time and existence seemed to stand still... and for that one second, it seemed like you knew everything... and every particle of life made perfect sense.. for that one moment.

yeah.. that one.



or was it sort of like this?? either way, lots of guitar action. lots of lens flare action. a fun looking hoodie. life is good, right?

anyways.. stay tuned. i might actually type something again that's worth reading.

Randomly big ART dumpage

okay... so. i'm at school now - but i do cartoons for this other school. here's a couple of them that i just shot out really quick..... hhaahahah.... i mean, REALLLLY quick. wow. i almost feel guilty for how quick these happened......................... . . . almost.

i draw for the 'opinions' section of their paper... first week was sorta hectic, just because there was NO schedule, and i'd get a cartoon request just thrown at me from outta nowhere that they needed the next day.... but that's all done with, so hopefully these start coming out a little more polished up and what not...


-for a story about going back to school, and how it's scary or something...

about Obama's VP selection. obviously-

sorta rushed... not too happy with that->

-for how Utah doesn't have enough bike lanes.... meh. I don't ride a bike too much to know/care much about that.

this one->about how people ignore 3rd parties during elections...
i'm not a 3rd party that often.. so i wouldn't know/care much about that myself.....

-for about some environmental plan that students were going to be a part of.. and yeah. here's my enviro-plan.

a story was talkin' smack on how bad the shcool's alcohol/drug education program was->

That's about enough rushed cartoons for the moment.





Here's the LAST 'O' Fficial work doodle. because work is now done with for the moment. i thought... hmmmmm.. what would be the most time consuming, and keep me the most occupied. a.... planet?



next up. colored this picture. characters owned/conceived/envisioned by Kyle. my brother.



next up. colored this too. as you can tell... just coloring everything i have for practice.
"dreamshorn" ? sounds like a fun title. just experimenting with brushes and what not.


yep..

more of... something, to be continued.. i'm sure.
later.

LEVEL UP! can now use "textures"

hahahaaaaa... that's what it feels like. i can just see the mini 8-bit version of me, dancing to the level up music (which only involves a spin, and then continuous raising up and down of the hand until you push start or 'A' but you're not really sure, so you push both)

so yeah, FINALLY getting the hang of textures, dual brushes, and all that jibba jabba.

SO - was coloring up some more old pictures, for photoshop practice/exp. points/gil/elixirs, etc.

"The INCREDIBLE FLASH!"
(incredible hulk+the flash)
picture a wrecking ball, moving at the speed of... the flash. but he can jump through buildings and all sorts of crazy stuff like that.

"BatStatiC"
(batman+storm)
what?? a weird static-powered.. old she-male thing??? no. not really. but yeah, another fun draw.

"WolvenCrow"
..or ScareCrogan, or Scareverine, or Scrowgan, or Something like that. heh.
(wolverine+scare crow)
couldn't decide on a name - for the moment these are the ones i'm leaning towards.

these were all done about 3 years ago, when LeS (LeSean Thomas) had artxilla up and thriving.. apparently the 'golden ages' of the artxilla forum (as you can tell by clicking - it is no more... ) happened while i was gone, but i'm watching most the guys i found there on deviantart.. anyways - artxilla had this fun little 'art jam' thing going on, where you create an original character using somebody from DC & Marvel. i did three, because it was fun... and i needed a little bit of motivation at the moment, or a reason to wake up and draw something (i was sleeping in every DAY during the summer back then, until like... 1 sometimes 2pm... )

but yeah. there you go.
last week of working full time.
happy kevin.

shikamaru + dolphINK + Antimo: King of Shadow + RYU highscore (vs Guile) + urban samurai in color = art dump!

welp... no real thoughts for the day that have completed themselves yet..
let's get on with the art dump, shall we?

old shikamaru picture colored up:



another IOU off my checklist - dolphink :


some doodles from work... first, Antimo: King of Shadow



second, RYU newhighscore!! (vs. guile)


and last but not least, Urban Samurai (old pic i colored up to gain some PS experience and level up a bit)

everything slowly comes together.

on a few other notes, i ran to jordan landing and back - i ran into the wind both ways, which was perfect because it was hot. and hot is a fag. plus it rained .. rain-core (possible band name?). which was awesome. i never liked hot... such a fag.

other news... it's become PAINFULLY SICK and OBVIOUS that tupac is living. if you don't think so... you're ridiculously ignorant, or don't really care. same difference... but still. it's ridiculous how LIVING this guy is.
- life, etc... to be continued.

Cubampire

so.. here's the most recent installment of work doodles.
i just kept staring at the paper, but nothing happened. . . so i decided to just draw a bunch of random crap to see what came out, and it sorta evolved into this cuban/vampire looking guy.


still having ink in the blue bic pen = awesome.
heheh... today, we got so many calls i didn't even have time to doodle though.. i started getting really impatient, and grabbed a brick of sticky notes, and started animating some stick figure figures beating the STICK out of each other. i think this is my new favorite thing to do at work...

there's gotta be a program that works like a flip pad on the computer where you can create your own animations.. right? people?? cry for answers??? too much fun.


other random news - i tried to do a back flip.

i snapped my head back, right on to the carpet, which is lovingly spread over a slab of CEMENT!! wow... i felt like there was an entire floor pressing on my head for a few minutes.. and the next few days i felt a little more dazed than usual...

i will do a back flip. i swear - it's physically WAY easy to do, but the mental commitment to do one demands 100%... i think life is full of mental back flips too, but they work the same way - if you're not 100% committed to making some kind of choice, nothing's gonna happen. that, or something really bad'll happen. success=commitment.
which makes me think... since success=commitment, even though my back flip sucked all sorts of racial profanities, if i was 100% there mentally, would i have still landed on my head?? maybe. maybe not.. reminds me of a quote from like, some inventor or something.

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do - not that the nature of the thing has changed, but the will to do has increased."

if you could perfectly acquire a talent or ability the very first time you tried, trying wouldn't be as meaningful then... would it. you in essence would have no will, yourself, if that's how life worked for everybody.

hmmmm..... interesting.
