Photoshop's Dead

Jensen doodle. Not me. Seriously. It's also an angle I never really draw when it comes to female characters. I used to consider it boring, but doing this I realised it's not boring, just hard. Heh. The reason being, when drawing an androgynous character, the few points that readily identifies them as female need to be perceptible. The only one of those characteristics that applies to a picture like this is the chest. Unless the breasts sag, or they're huge, or they're misshapen and to the sides more, they're much less visible under a tshirt. To compensate one needs to be considerably more creative with lighting and drapery to show those subtle curves. I'm not sure if I completely achieved it, but it's a welcome LATE epiphany.

So I'm now one of those sad cases where they have no scanner. Or, rather, I do but it's unreachable. Photoshop has literally died on me and I have no idea how or why. I went to scan in several things that I'd been working on, only to find the Blue Screen Of Doom appearing every time Photoshop finished loading. It's sort of freaking me out. The ultimate downside is this: I can't reinstall the program as I've managed to lose both the disk and the key thing that says it's mine. >.<* Shocking. Truly. It looks like I have to buy it all over again... which is just stupid.

So I've uploaded two doodles I did recently. The one above having been done on a scrap of paper I found under my bed while failing at getting to sleep and the one below having been done on the back of an envelope, found in my bed (I tend to read my mail in bed). Not bad for doodles, I think. They're far better than I would have mindlessly done a few months ago. I don't think I'm stagnating anymore, which is an awesome feeling.

Now if only Photoshop would work. Damn it.



A rough idea for a frame. There's Jensen dying at a desk. With Kate beside her. She has the wrong hairstyle. I recently decided to have her switch hairstyles with Daniella to give her a more 'alternative' look. Hopefully there'll be more pictures coming soon to illustrate that and... make the world seem a better place. Ahem.

I'm feeling terribly sorry for myself.
