Come on everyone! We're here to change the world!
I blame you. I blame you for my not being able to draw what I'm supposed to be drawing. When I'm not wasting time having fun with you, my artistic impulses are being fully channeled into obsessive Eo-ing. I'm a real Eo Kid at the moment, and I was only a toddler when the show was around, one who got scared and had to be taken out of the theater.
But first, a little philosophizing:
You know, it's really awkward for me, considering the "character" driving this community mad was a real, living, human being. When he died, for the first few days I didn't feel anyone had really died at all, like we were only deal with an idea.
It's so weird for me. I don't like doing fanart or fic for real people. In my sketchbook, I have this weird, "I'm telling myself I'm not drawing him... this isn't him.. see, I made it different. It's not him" page that I went wild on with the Prismacolors during the memorial. I don't know if I'm ever going to show it, 'cause I'm not sure if it's him, what I was thinking or trying to do or what. I guess I'm too self-conscious for my own good.
The whole reason behind Michael Jackson's impact on my psyche was the fact that he'd made himself into a walking, talking, Disney character. I'm torn between ideas here.
On the other hand, Captain Eo is a Disney character, so I can draw freely. Let's live in our land of rainbows, where music can make us all beautiful.
Actually, I don't feel quite so free drawing Disney characters as I do drawing, say, game characters, but let's ignore that for a while...
So, I figure maybe I will finally feel at rest having shown you what I've been doing obsessively. Yes, we're still having scanner problems, so these are photographed.
I hate you, overly detailed and padded and bedazzled and blinged out 80s space suit! Screw you and your rippled leg trim. Captain Eo doesn't really need it, does he?
This sketchbook (Aquabee Super Deluxe) claims it can take watercolor, but it sort of stretches the truth there, so I couldn't do much more than a splash of color.
You might recognize this sketchbook page from my last post. I added a little more to it.
I hope I didn't make him look like Prince...
