sonicjunky:
Dude!! That is soo dope. Haha! I was joking too, but actualy, I thaught about painting it myself... also cartoonish, but you did a way better job than I would have. If you get bored with the coloring let me know, and I'll paint it!

Thanks everybody.!
I am not really interested in getting money for drawing. I make enough already, and I should be drawing anyway. As long as something seems reasonably painless to draw, I will try to get around to it. I wouldn't feel comfortable charging someone for what I do in my spare time.. maybe that sounds stupid. I dunno. Especially since that is what I...

Yeah, man; keep the craft pure. Or something. On the other hand, don't rule out making money, because that would be as wrong as doing it just for the money.
salome_seule:

well doods, I have never really commissioned (sounds so professional) any portraits, or done any by request. it adds this weird responsibility to art, which I don't really like. I mean, i am not completely averse to taking money for drawing someone, but i have never done it; what if you dont like it, or i take too long, etc...
dont take this as a...

er, also, now i'm going to respond to your journal entry. i hate doing commissions and requests. i feel like i have to, and it's so hard to find inspiration to do something when you feel like you have to. art is such a touchy thing to do for a living.
sonicjunky:
Hey, can you do a picture of me as a monkey in a Batman costume? Please Please, it would mean alot to my girl!

aaahh, I get all weird when someone asks me to do something. I just start thinkin' that whatever I do isn't going to be what they had in mind...and then there's the money thing, like how the hell do you figure out a price?

Having said that...I say do it! ooo aaa

thanks for all the support, everyone! every once in a while I actually like some of the drawings I do, and these last few have been some of the ones I enjoy. I have just been drinking the whole time while I do them, and I think it helps. It allows me to be just a little more careless and that usually ends up more...

HaHa, sometimes I'll down a pot of coffee then start on the beer and let loose with the paint! I don't think I could do it with drawing though..too jittery!
Carlsbad is pretty much SD I go past there almost everyday. Not as dence as down south though.

I'll check the book. I've been wanting a new author to check out.
sonicjunky:
Thanks, yeah thats what my friend was sayin'. He digs the backgrounds, but he thinks the characters are fucked up. HA! Whatever. They're actualy brighter in reality but I still have'nt figured out how to take better photos with the dig.

I'm digging the scratchy style!! It's good to see some traditional work getting lots of props too. I wouldn't mind seeing them all in one folder though?

Hey, I just noticed you're a Cat Power fan. God I was infatuated with her for most of last year. I love her live shows too, even though most people can't stand her oddities.
miffy:
your drawings are so pretty! Where did you study? I wanted to go to Stanford grad for fine art but it's too hard to get in frown I don't think I can.

it's been a while since I wrote or posted anything. And I still havn't posted anything, but I feel compelled to get a new entry up here, for no apperent reason.

I will try to do some more drawings, but I just don't have any motivation anymore. I am drunk all the time, and either watching movies (just bought Lost in Translation, which obviously is...

I have put a few pictures up. These were the only one that were on my computer. I am waiting for my new scanner that I got off ebay. I should get a digital camera, but I just spent a bunch of money on an ipod.

Anyway, nobody is probably going to look at these anyway, I am just kind of doing it to humor...

I dont' know, I have a digital camera, but when it comes to reproducing colors in art it kinda blows. So unless your gonna drop serious cash for proffesional quality digital, stick to scanning.

For me, the journal is my own little spot to ramble, post pics, tell stories etc...otherwise I'd never write anything even though I enjoy it. If people happen to find their way there and leave a comment then cool! that's great! but I'll probably still do it anyways.

That's great to hear you've stuck with drawing for so long. You're damn good. I used to be one of those kids that drew everything...especially at school, but somehow I just stoped.Now I get all these ideas in my head but can't actually gow through with them since I'm not that great at it. I picked up painting about three years ago and have done about 20 in that time. To me, they're pretty mediocre. I'd like to put more effort into them but I really need to start drawing first.

Looking forward to seeing other works!

Wow, your fan art of Nixion fucking rules, dude!! love

dude, your drawings are fucking hot. what do you use?
van_hammersly:
I use a good old Pentel P225 and regular paper for these drawings. The I use a crappy UMAX ASTRA 2100U scanner. The I use Photoshop 7.0 to color them and whatnot. I have a Wacom Tablet for this, which is good for coloring, and alot of people draw exclusively with them, but I'm not that good at that, so I use pencil first.

Oh.. and thanks, but they wouldn't be hot if the girls weren't hot.

Well, I drew them in pencil, then scanned them, then, duplicated the layer, converted it to "multiply", added a middle layer, which I made one solid color, then I did the whole filter->texture->texturizer thing in order to get the cavas look, then I just used the dodge tool to get the highlights. It may sound like I know what I am doing, but...
