I amaze myself (in that I don't - at all)
Of course, two weeks after I needed it I'd find those Who jack-o'lantern templates I wanted - on a journal I bookmarked and checked (I swear I did; just apparently stuck to the tagged fanart entries instead of the main "hub" of the community). I could kick myself, but considering that when I stretched vigorously earlier my brain attempted to break free of its bony prison, it'd probably be better to verbally berate myself for now.
Also, I find that I don't like drawing happy characters; Nine loves to smile (or is that brood? He does so much of both) and yet drawing him with a bona fide ear-to-ear grin doesn't look right to me. Looking back through my drawing folder (I scan most of what I draw in case of calamity, most probably), I don't draw a character truly happy all too often. Mischevous Rose, drunk Chuck (of SWC fame), seductive/scheming Alucard - those sort of double-edged (a bit strong perhaps, but I'm working at half-capacity here) smiles that indicate something other than contentedness, they come (and seem) more natural to me. I'm sure psychologically speaking that says more than I'd like about myself, though when I was younger (teens) I didn't have that problem (I also knew nothing about anatomy; now I know something - an improvement). :3
I'm going to have to change my profile or stop posting about art if I don't put my money where my mouth is, too. Well, something to do definitely if that writer's strike continues (heard that a LOST alum said if it goes beyond three months, no new seasons till 2009 - of anything, except reality tv). D:
