"All art is quite useless."

Thanks for the quote, Oscar Wilde! Ok, now for an end-of-the-year art meme! Because contrary to popular belief, I actually kinda maybe sorta enjoy memes. (Or at least, I feel weirdly honored when someone tags me.) Anyway, found this rather interesting and figured I should do this before it gets too far from Jan1.

Oh gosh, I like this meme a lot but I'm afraid to use it. D8 Hahah I JUST had one of those terrible moments when I realized "OH SNAP I'M NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS I NEED TO BE". But then it's a mixed message since most entering art school portfolios are craporama.

I love that I apparently got into Most Proud. XD Even though I think that picture I drew fits into "MOST WORST". Even when I was working on it I realized it was crap, but wow.

Yey character studies <333 (heh, I think if I did one for TT, all you'd see would be a bunch of the same picture....)

I'm TRYING to make it my policy this year to draw backgrounds BEFORE characters. D: Would you like to sponsor me a la Alcoholics Anonymous (character animators anonymous?)

[pooryorick]

You should do it! It's useful. But I totally know how you feel.

Of course! You are awesome like that.

Heh, TT's default setting is Blank, no kidding. That would actually be a pretty hilarious page.

Ooh, I admire your dedication to doing backgrounds. Sure, I'll be your sponsor! Just tell me how often I should nag. ;)

(p.s. did the music link work for you yet?)

[arythusa]

Yey sponsorship! Does twice a month sound reasonable?

The link doesn't work yet.... T_T

P.S. I'm considering putting some artwork into the MOCA "Teen" art exhibition, but I fear exposure to pseudo-artkids with doubleplus!arrogance . . . and plus the thing will be judged by Tokyopop, which I think is a killer if I ever heard one. X(

[pooryorick]

Consider it done.

Try this?

Wow, that MOCA thing sounds... very strange.

Jan romancing Odo with a rose still cracks me up XD *also a bit nostalgic for wings. Wait, no I'm not*
And repeating the love for that Tainted Love pic. You nailed the perspective too, that tricky devil. And I must admit those character studies have a certain something (like super awesome expressions).

[pooryorick]

Hahaha, I gotta hand it to you - no one else would ever get me to draw something like that. Heh, wings.

Aw, thanks a lot! I appreciate it.

I like your quote...Oscar Wilde hung with Aubrey Beardsley. He claimed that he invented Aubrey Beardsley, this statement has not been substantiated though.

[pooryorick]

I'm sure those two got up to lots of mischief. And probably highly improper parlor games.

[dr_vandervogel]

so long as they didn't scare the horses.
