So I'm back home after visiting with D all week. I had lots of fun. It was just like old times, and then some fun new times too! I got to go to AWA the day I arrived. Met both Star and Bara-chan, which was really fun...
Even though the poor girl needs to have a sammich.
I got to meet D's bro again, got to hang out with him some. He's a fun guy to hang out with. Especially with all of our mom and corn jokes.
Ugh corn. Noooo. I will never be able to eat a ear of corn again after watching My Sexual Harrassment, which is quite good mind you. MINUS CORN AND OLD MEN *screams*
"Can you teach us how to make giant corn!?"
Dane Cook was our entertainer for most of the rides, and I can assure you next time I hear that certain sound while I'm in a nursery, I will go on a baby punching tangent.
I had lots of fun with D, and I hope he had lots of fun with me :D I'm hooked on KOF and SF3 now after that trip, even went and bought a SF controller.... which didn't work! *sob* But this is what recipts and returns are for!
During the trip I drew a whole hell of a lot... The majority was er, yaoi, after watching MSH and MoB.... And all 4 of those yaoi mangas I bought too. Puts a whole new meaning on splurging your money. *cackle* I tried to start on some of the WoW pictures I promised everyone in my guild... I think, I'm either gonna have to pull out of tell them to wait a really really long time. Oh well, we shall see.
Also during the trip, I realized something after being around some of the elite artists. I got looked down upon because I wasn't painting material in painter. I even came home and went to the trouble of trying to learn painter even though I hate the little bastard program. So I said, you know what? Fuck this. I can draw good enough and I can color to the best of my abilities. I can't draw wonderful backgrounds, but for the majority of the time, I can't because it'll make whatever I'm drawing look stupid. The career I'm going into, if I'm character designing, that's what they want me to do. Sketch and color, not spend 20 hours on a picture. While this would be good if I could spend 20 hours on a picture, I simply can't do it. I don't have the patience to work on a picture that long.
So from now on, pictures are going to be draw to what I think up in my head, and if i happened to think of a background for a certain picture? Then I'll make one. Feel that I need to make something look painted? Then I do that too. I'm losing momentum trying to paint a picture I simply can't do. It's pulling away from me wanting to design things.
I always love these life changing situations :D
So yes, greetings and salutations to anyone reading this. I'm going to go battle the monkey that is somewhere in my house.
