Eyes like two piss-holes in the snow.
Man I gotta sleep earlier. I have to shave and shower tomorrow cause I work the grown up job. The other deal in Shibuya, I can go in with a full beard, no shower and hungover and it's cool. I bet I could get away with reeking like BO if I really felt like dipping into that level of uncleanliness for the sake of experimentation. I think it would fly, cuz I work with some German stud who's a model and he's cooking up onions constantly. That's right Handsome Hanz, it doesn't cut it just to look pretty, you need to focus your grooming efforts more evenly. I overcame my deoderant crisis, so it's not impossible! Which reminds me, in the midst of said deoderant crisis and cooking up a batch of chili (literally), Liz and I coined the phrase "human cumin" do describe BO. I thought it was pretty clever, but someone else probably already thought of it. Just like when I thought I invented the word "backne". Seriously though, we are so utterly attached to one another, and have developed so many inside jokes that we'll probably be spewing our own vernacular by the time we get back home.
I really liked the picture that was drawn of Liz and I. It actually inspired me to step it up with the comics. I think I am going to eschew MSpaint in favor of Photoshop so I can pull out some "next level shit". Here's a test run I did drawing caricatures of Liz and I as we may appear in future comics:
As you can see, I've clearly stepped up the colour. And that MSpaint jagginess is gone. I mean, using such a basic drawing program in the first place had it's charm, but I just can't say no to those sexy new curves and gorgeous features (in photoshop).
I saw this video on youtube of a guy amassing all of his technical knowledge of cars, design and MSpaint to craft this remarkably life-like portrait of a sportscar and felt envious for a moment. His technique, execution and patience is commendable, and I don't ever aspire to be that good. Not technically at least. But I do intend for my comics to produce about 1000% more charm; like giving your loved one a fuzzy hand-made valentine compared to a fancy piece of jewelry. Jewelry says "I got game", but a warm fuzzy valentine says "I got soul".
