Wellll, I've made some more art.
first a sort of fleshed out doodle of Faust VIII from Shaman King using my friend as the face model.

Then a finished onto my AU story doodles.. I did a sketch of my manta in a bed. I have mixed feelings about this picture 

Finally I have a finished picture of my AU Manta and Faust VIII using Shun Oguri and Gaspard Ulliel as models 

As For my life right now. I have >50 days before I am scheduled to leave for Navy bootcamp in Great Lakes, IL. I'm nervous but I'm also really excited. Last night I went to a show at The Lost Horizon, wich is a bar and saw alot of great bands like Lacerda, Honor Bright, Short Notice, Groundbreaking Ceremony and Still Rings True and some others!. I'm also now obsessed with Supernatural.

First of all. I have been making art most everyday. I feel this burning urge to reach a peak of skill before I leave for basic training in March 2011.


So I am focusing on my portraits [ big surprise] and color. Mostly my new obsession is pastel, and specifically crushing/shaving pastel pigment sticks into a powder and applying in light layers with a brush.


I really love how delicate this technique and combination works, and I really wish I had more time to explore it. Subsequently due to lack of time I am rushing into bigger things than I am able to handle. Yes I am not afraid to admit that. Thus the rest of the picture is a bit of a disaster...mostly because I charged into it without regarding proper anatomy.


I will really try and upload more here but its going to be hellish for the next few weeks.. and then months.

I'm now confident that I am not signing my soul away to Satan by enlisting. The devil wouldn't have given me this much paperwork.
