Then, unexpectedly:
Um, hi internet! Yeah, I probably shouldn't talk about when I expect to update from now on; bad luck, maybe? Jordyn and I have finally left Vancouver for Montreal. This city is big, old, and beautiful; it's a good atmosphere for us. I'm particularily looking forward to experiencing a real winter again (with snow and huge jackets).
The point of moving was to start fresh, so hopefully productivity will go up. I think it will (after all, I AM updating my journal). I can already feel the creative areas of my brain stirring from their year of hibernation. After graduation, I was so burned out from my grad film (and Jordyn's film the year before) that I kind of shut down for a while, and broke the one of cardinal rules of being an artist: don't stop making art! It's a slippery slope and I am starting to claw my way back up from the bottom. And what better remedy for the no-art blues than some nerdy fanart??
I've tried drawing lots of Final Fantasy characters, but Locke is the only one I'm ever happy with.
Psychic powers!
This is one of Jordyn's characters. We might work on a comic project together with him at some point. We are the kind of team that sits at desks that face each other and occasionally switch off positions to maximize the work flow; like a super computer. We're starting up a new film project soon, too.
Gandalf's severed head. Jordyn: "That's a sweet mother fucking GANDALF HEAD!"
If you recognize who this character is, you earn a jillion nerd points. That's all I'm saying.
This is an adventurer guy I drew while I was doing a really sweet choose-your-own-adventure book called THE WARLOCK OF FIRETOP MOUNTAIN! It is hands-down the best choose-your-own-adventure book I've ever seen, and I used to love those things. I mean, you have to use stats and dice to find out if you beat the monsters. DICE! And apparently there's a huge series of these? It's definitely in my top 5 thrift store finds.
Alright, posting stuff on the internet stresses me out, so I've getting out of here before I change my mind!
