Cave Spider

i said i would draw one....

cave spider is much easier than tailless whip scorpion.

sososo, i drew a bunch of bugs and a lizard, but they are on paper. sorry.....

life is pretty rad and busy right now, i'm in charge of a small project! i'll tell y'all about it when i can!

and this song here has become pretty much a constant backdrop, i can't get enough of it:

i hope no one can hear my headphones, cause i'm probably driving them crazy

mechanical things

feeling abit of a drive to draw more mechanical things after beating Portal 2. except i had meant to do fanart for it, and forgot....maybe later.

a weird robot and some shitty flying car thing. i want to fix it...but it's late, i should go. ah, i forgot a bit of the robot's leg too

you know, i figure if i can keep posting at least once a week, that'd be pretty rad. i can definitely keep this up. who knows, i might improve?? i definitely want to fix that car....

Vinegaroon

found a brush i hadn't used before, and it handles quite nicely on the bamboo.

practice'n! the vinegaroon is pretty awesome, so i gave it a shot. on a half of it at least.

next time, i'll either draw a whole one or a tailless whip scorpion or something

Titbloginc. post

the theme is ....hmmm, there was a word for it that someone figured out, but i don't recall it.

the theme is to draw something that is performing an action redundant to itself. if that doesn't make sense, then an example would be "a bicycle riding itself"

i ate an orange today, so thus.

not much time spent though, i need to do some more work tonight.

touchpad!

i totally rediscovered my paint texture brushes...ever so slightly....

both too lazy to grab the tablet, and curious how it felt to draw on a touch pad after so long.

feels bad.

gave up on the back end.

people and flash

trying to improve on drawing people and in flash
so that dialogue test i was wanting to do will have to hold off, something big just came up.
weee.

but here's a late night drawing, i kind of needed a cool down after today. he's supposed to be leaning on something, but i didn't know what to put there and then i forgot.

also, i think that's the best drawing of a gun i've ever done. ever, man. and i got it wrong even, now that i'm looking at the reference some more....it's missing a bit just around the index finger....

but anyways, it's bed time. good night

but wait, also-OPEN SHOW!! it was so awesome! my year is graduating and that's weird! and i'm too tired to elaborate i guess, ever sentence i try typing ends up in a confused sort of blur....

in any case, there was some amazing stuff. i got to see people i hadn't seen in ages, i hadn't seen the school in like a year and a half, and there're some real talented underclassmen and grads. i want to make a film tooooooo, but i can't right now. maybe later in the summer.

okay.
goodnight.

scribble

from yesterday, i forgot to post it.

looks like measles instead of freckles.

11 second club

definitely gonna give it a shot.



the portly guy isnt gonna do much, so i probably won't pay as much mind as crazy demon faced guy

i kinda wish i had toonboom on me, but we'll see how this goes...

i think i'm gonna try 11 second day again

or just a dialogue test with this month's audio

WIP

i was gonna finish it, but now i'm going to a midnight showing of the Shining. so later again

here's a most of something i was working on, based on some gestures from Dr. Sketchies. maybe i will scan the gestures to go with it.

tomorrow night i'm going to the Adventure time show at gallery nucleus!! and i'm probably gonna buy something i don't need too!!

late night

drew a lady too, but that's not done 'cause photoshop crashed on me.can't say i remember the last time that happened.


i will try to finish the lady drawing before the weekend.

in the future, i am suddenly finding it hard not to spend money on things like shoes and posters and new car door handles while i save up for the new computer and a Cintiq 4.

i want it!

but i want Tom shoes too!

and new door handles!


oh well, good night

mess'n

want to animate this in some way

LOL

Karaoke night again, but now i'm gonna go home

i'll try to finish this someday

20 second film

for 5 second film day.

this should actually work this time around:

5 SECOND DAY, 2011 from Marina Gardner on Vimeo.

i got to use the big editting bay for some sloppy sound effects, and that was awesome.

here we go

did i say i was going to update friday? hahaha! haha...

i meant tomorrow-friday.

maybe.

i will be preparing for 5 second film day over the weekend, so there might be an update in there.

firing up the scanner.

posts friday, i got to sleep some

some stuff i had off hand, and i'm sleepy so i'm making this quick;

i don't remember drawing this, but clearly it was after i watch Neon Genesis this summer and got a little obsessed with it. so beautiful, so freaking confusing!! then i heard Rebuild was supposed to remedy some the confusion, but that was mostly worse cause everything was different but the same and there were whole chunks of the original show tossed in and some chick who was stupid and made no sense.

anyways, i got a little mech0-obsessed for a moment. i also clearly didn't have enough love for it to color it properly.
and this guy's from a page of beasts, just the most finished of them from a late night at work.

i'm too tired to think of anything else to add, i'll be posting again later this weekend.

happy chinese newyears and weekedn everyone!

hmm, still figuring this out
it doesn't seem to be playing the file though...

beeehhhh

this is ...closer

kitty pitty by ~okavango on deviantART

weeell, if you click on it it'll take you to a simple loop i did earlier before leaving work. still haven't figured out swf. embedding.

it was a cat, but i wound up liking it better without ears. so it's more like a legged olive with a tail.

animating with the pencil tool in flash is actually kinda difficult, since it doesn't follow the path you lead all the time.

late night tonight at work.
i drew some cats and a thing in flash.
goin' home early tommorrow.

i love when cats get those crazy eyes and do something bizarre. why do they do that? what prompts a cat to run up and down the hall, chew up a plant, then do a backflip off of a couch? it's a wonderful mystery

W.I.P.

quick cool down for the day, i don't quite enjoy drawing on a bamboo anymore. i'm ready for a Cyntiq workspace.

then instead of finishing, went and watched a bunch of random videos.

another Fraffle at Titmouse today (or yesterday) which was great, saw new episodes and projects, first finished episode of the project i've been working on was shown, someone brought in cookies which were delicious, i ate Lemongrass Vietnamese food.

did some drawings, watched a shitload of nonsense videos, amongst them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWTzWlMAt1Q

at least i wasn't playing minecraft?

my home internet has been down since friday, but now that it's up again i am too sleepy to do anything right now. going to try to post later or this weekend.

since i didn't have internet to distract me, i cleaned and rearranged my room this weekend. i have 3 bookshelves now! they're not really assembled or hung or anything, but i have them!

so if you drop by, i hope you have a good week and hopefully i will post something before the end of the week.

goodnight

trying out flash players and junk for blogger, so far found out about Google sites which are nice.

i don't want to get into coding, but maybe it would be worth learning? at least to have a little player ready to go...

oh, and the above is abit from a film i worked on for a friend for their thesis film. it can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MexMKn_VfWA

yea i know this film has been don't for several months, bleh....should have posted this info sooner.

in terms of any drawings coming up, i have alot of papers i should scan. tonight, though, i am cleaning my room a bit and tomorrow i am doing laundry. so not today or tomorrow, but soonish.

i did draw alot of stuff at a party newyearseve, but i forgot to grab them.
