Anna Mercury (#2 of 5), Ex Machina (#37), Local (#12 of 12), Rasl (#2), Wolverine (#66), Pocket Full of Rain (Previously untranslated early works of Jason)
And Yesterday, via Amazon, June 23rd
Buddha Vol. 1: Kapilavastu, Buddha Vol. 2: The Four Encounters, Dororo Vol. 1
I figured it was time to try out some more manga. I've read Akira and some of Nausicaa, so it was time to try out the "Manga God"/"Godfather of Manga" Osamu Tezuka.

hypothesis, color, evening 1
went ahead and drew this and began coloring. going alright so far, I think. the unlit windows strike me as an interesting castle turret shape. burkert comes from burkhart (German and Dutch: from the medieval personal name Burkhard, composed of the elements burg ‘fort’, ‘castle’ + hard ‘hardy’, ‘brave’, ‘strong’). castles. some things are blanket super hard, and you don't even plan for them. i planned for lit windows and I got unlit castles.

8x5=40
Been slacking. Here's some digital sketches of some personal pieces I am working on. Also have 2 freelance things, so these may take this week and next to finish.
The penultimate piece in the 40 series, titled "the onion" in my sketchbook. I posted a sketch of this a couple weeks (a month?) ago, but it has changed since then. It's now 8x5, with an alternate drawing that repeats 40 times. As seen here:
The actual "onion" drawing is the one thats different. I think it would be mainly shown as the single panel, but when possible, as all 40. Close-up of the onion:
Possible layer effect to be applied to the clouds. The way they look in the previous 2 sketches will look ugly once all that foghair is colored. Just something:
--
Since it is way easier to draw (no repeating pattern), this is the actual next piece I am working on:
Similar to the beach house piece in that this is also an old idea that I am finally getting around to doing.

New Girl Talk CD is nuts.

Honorable Mention
Just found out about this today via Email.
Vamp. Cactus is Honorably Mentioned.
I think what happens next is there a competition of all the honorable mentions for a give time frame, and some of these can not slip through the cracks again.
Pretty neat.

spore some sugar on me
Downloaded the demo of the Spore Creature Creator tonight. I will buy the full version, but want to wait til I get a new mac.
Here's my first creature. He's called Venumare.
I'm sure that this Creator is a small taste of the full game, but the taste is delicious. This thing is easier to use than any thing I can imagine. Build your creature. Super simple. Record a video of him doing things with a built in uploader for YouTube. Snap pics that you can mail to people's emails. Upload your creature to the online database of creatures for others to download/etc. It's all pretty fancy.

Habit forming
Trying to keep track of a hobby so that I can pinpoint when it starts to become too much. Don't mind me.
