Interesting (random) Thought

________________________

People who perform social actions that are NOT defined by their character, but by what they THINK looks cool.

I find the above, not only very annoying, but character-shattering. When you have just managed to memory map the body language of a person and then they start to perform actions out of their perceived character (for the sake of looking cool) it makes them look foolish.

Thinking of this in more depth, I may have ended friendships and relationships for this very reason - but have never realised it.

I think too much.

Happy Holidays.

I dont feel they WHY of why I should document this specific christmas. It just feels a little more important this year than it did last year I guess.


Roll on the New Year - I'll be fucked if im letting another one roll by.

Two hours in and im still figuring out how to tune my guitar.

Instructor: "Seriously? Are you playing a joke on me and wasting my time or something?"

Me: "... Im paying you..."

Instructor: "... Oh... wow."

Ouch indeedy.

Deserves to be shown

For the past few days I have been taunting myself for not actually being very "Artsie".
I had been craving to do some blending and shading skin-tones (I know, im weird!) but when push came to shove, I couldnt pick a pose I liked - so I decided to try a random portrait of my own:

We're talking no hard likes to guide me here, just brush-strokes and blending goodness. Well, I dont know what came over me because 2 hours later I looked at the time and realised it was 2am in the morning - I got into it, almost like I was in some kind of trance!

It is funny that I say that because, rule number of of shading and detailing is the most important: DONT SHADE AFTER DETAILING - but the eye... I really got into that eye, it was like... a trance! Really! I just had to finish that eye!

Dont ask me how I made it look so good. I dont know Dont ask me why I made it that colour. It just felt like I had to.

Suffice to say, when I was done I did try to shade around it. Stupid of me, I know and I was lucky I stoped myself when I did because I ran out of backsteps. It is a shame because I was on such a roll!

I know it is beyond my skill right now to fix and finish it - but it deserves to be shown. The eye is worthy of it alone!

Fell free to finish it yourselfs - just show me when you're done. Im intrigued at what she wanted to be...
