Monday & Creativity
Today is really slow. But at least my brakes on my car work, now that the master cylinder and brake fluid have been replaced. I still feel like I'm forgetting something, but that might just be the fact that this weekend was practically non-existant, or thats how it feels. I did get to see Tyger and Simtra on Saturday, but sadly, not for as long as I had wanted. It didn't help I felt ill that day either. Being sick sucks. Probably this change in the weather thats making me feel icky.
Other than that, I'm trying to do some creative exercise for drawing. I haven't had much luck though, since I've been feeling weird and tired lately. Anyways, the exercise goes a bit like this: Think of a team/group of characters, and try and make each one a unique and functioning character, with their own personality and appearance and what not. I figured, ok, thats as good as any, so I decided to make a furry based group, and with the intent to keep them fairly 'normal'. I probably shouldn't limit myself to 'normal' but I'm going to try and stick with it for now.
Somehow, that thought turned towards Team Fortress 2, so now I'm making characters that are similiar in nature to the different classes of TF2. I didn't even realize it at first. Not until I started thinking of types of characters that would make a good group. Anyways, I'll go over what I've come up with for now.
1. Dodger: He's a lop-ear rabbit, average anthro height. He dresses up like an 80's British Punk, although how that actually looks, I have no clue. He also carries a switchblade knife, and is the team's recon and spy, even if he doesn't seem like he's part of the military at all.
2. Unknown female mouse or rat. No name for her yet, but she's the team's close combat specialist and is a lot like a special ops character. Silenced machine pistol and katana are her primary weapons. Unlike Dodger, she'll actually be in an outfit you might expect Joanna Dark to wear.
The Rest. Past that, I've got not much. I still want to make a Sniper, a Heavy Weapons character, a Medic, a Commander, and perhaps a Pilot. The sniper's weapon might be replaced from ye' typical sniper rifle to a bow, just to be different. After all, bows are cool as sniper weapons as well, although you can't really hit things with it from a few thousand yards away. Maybe I'll give the character a spare sniper rifle as well, just as an alternate.
Anyways, told you that was going to be boring. Just wish I could think a bit more clearly. And I need to remember I have my appointment today at 5pm.
