there finally have something to upload

coloring pretty much killed me as always..SLOWLYSLlooowly

I tried to go for airbrush coloring but everything started to look fake and plasticky so I got rid of the sunset background and most of the plane detail on her face. For my next try I'll prob for really try to color.

AS

finally finished coloring it!!!! it's cleaner than what i usually do, but i got lazy towards the end
and maybe i'll always be a little sloppy when i digitally color. i can't keep track of my layers,
the background is a little cheesy too, but oh well, maybe i'll fix it later.....
probably not.

text says my cousin's name, yi1 xuan2 (or 3). I like this one cos it's the first time I paid attn to most of the lines & made them relatively clean and neat instead of haphazardly slashing and erasing. when my mom saw this she couldn't believe I drew it. I don't know if I should be happy or offended. :P I like the goggles cos they look like batteries or pills and they make me feel good looking at them. (the drawing) there's something comforting about clearcut structure with hard edges. they carve definitely into space, they exist without compromise cos they don't bend or mold. I feel like they're more there than the rest of the drawing. but, what this is prob all indicative of is that I should practice shading with color more.

i FINALLY pagused!!! though i still need to finish the last 3 volumes of Journey to the West.
i might post my other sketches from work later, that should make up for 2 months of not
posting anything.....maybe.

Eternal Darkness, the game where your character's head falls off and starts reciting Shakespeare when you pick it up. scroll down until you reach Sanity Effects.

Nanashi no Geemu, "the nameless game" that haunts and takes over your nintendo ds...check out the trailer, the jingle is really catchy. I haven't been to their official website but it's supposed to be creepy too. The link is cool because it's some other non-official guy talking abt the game and he links to a bunch of other places that talk more about Japanese horror.

and here's Scott Hansen, the guy who did the bjork album cover I was talking abt last night. ~LAST NIGHT~ they also let you dl the entire thing, trying to ride off a radiohead copy I guess.

the monkey king! when he is first trapped under a mountain, so far I don't know any other scene where he's sad. maybe he's so tenacious he wasn't taken down any second of those 500 yrs.

sort of double dipping for this pagus.
it's a drawing based off of Radiohead's "Weird Fishes"
for andrea's friend john who helped get us an internship over the summer.
it's not done yet and i know it's so literal to draw fish from the song, but
whatever.

AS

my final illustration done....whooo.

AS

it's not really a pagus, it's my illustration final and its the reason why I haven't been pagusing
regularly.
