The Plan for this break

I'M GOING HOME TOMORROW! I've been feeling a mix of excitement and tieredness. All the work I've been doing is finally getting to me. My back has been killing me and I get randomly tired at different times, tired enough for naps. I feel like such an old lady. But I'm looking forward to being able to draw for myself now. I plan on doing more work for clockwork queen, and the steampunk story that Ian and I are calaborating on.
I'm also looking forward to making presents and fancy christmas cards and cookies for my loved ones. I plan on keeping the creativeness flowing rather than just vegitating infront of the computer. I also want to sew myself a nice black lolita skirt during the break to bring back to SCAD. Hopefully I can get some fabric at Joeanna's since Wallmart has had nothing I like -_-
I'm also considering getting a DA subscription. Maybe during the summer when I have job ^^ Then I can update it during school when I have stuff to post. Speaking of school... I have just completed my frist year at SCAD! I'm so happy, and full of feelings of accomplishment I am a sophmore now!
well, here's a toast to being tired, over worked, under SCAD's thumb, and going home. HUZZAH

REPO: The Genetic Opera

I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD!!!

New Doll + school work

I decided to change the doll for this month. I made one of my new steampunk character "Layla Von Gedge". She's a genuis. <3
I'm still working on her so I'll post sketches when she's more developed and fleshed out.

Today I will be working on finishing the pencils for my storyboards (Children of Man), and doing some more pages for the Clockwork Queen mini comic.

off to work...

Sprucing up the Blog

I put a little list on the side of the blog here listing some websites that I like. They are fun so I suggest visiting them if you have spare time.

EGL- is the Elegant Gothic Lolita community on Live Journal. These ladies are hard core and I love this site. It pretty much taught me everything I know about Lolita fashion.

Brass Goggles- The Lighter Side of Steampunk- is a great blog collecting lots of websites, blogs, and stores that offer a wealth of Steampunk information, fiction, fashion, items, and wonders. I've read the WHOLE THING in one night.

The Art of Alex CF- A fantastic steam punk artist who also creates realistic looking 'kits' regarding parts of history that never were. Such as vampire and werewolf study kits, and jared 'specimens' of animals like two headed albino bats, and spawns of Cthulhu himself. His work is so inspirational. I absolutely love it!

Viona Art- Wonderful Photography featuring the most devestatingly beautiful clothing I've ever seen. She's also photographed Ville Valo of HIM and I always enjoy her photographs from Gothic festivals. Inspiring and breathtaking work.

Gothic Charm School- a lovely site devoted to manners that are aimed at goths. People write in and the "Lady of the Manners" answers them in a very serious and professional manner. It seems to have been around since 1999 and has a wealth of knowedge regarding how to handle reactions from relatives at christmas time (I wish found that in high school) to matters of love and concerts/events/social life.

So check out these sites and have fun! I have lots of CWQ sketches to post (I completed the sketchbook and I have a new one now) and I will try to post those later, providing they will upload to photobucket. PB has been persnickity with me lately :/

CWQ update

I drew a quick/rough Clockwork Queen comic of Mick (the airship pilot) and Samantha (his navigator). I'll post a better version when I finally get time to draw it out.

I have some more sketchbook doodles and page layouts done too. And two projects to work on this week so I'll be swamped. Hopefully I can squeeze in some CWQ in the meantime.

Clockwork Queen update

Here are some sketchs from my tiny sketchbook (4in X 6in) regarding the clockwork queen story:


Here is Larson, our excentric inventor/researcher.



Here's a little sketch of Millie the Mechanic making her debute at a fancy party. The guy with the monicle is the male twin in the story. He doesn't have a name yet. Ideas for names are welcomed ^^;



Here is the captain and navigator of an airship (still need to design that and name them). They helps the kids out later on their quest to stop the mad scientist.

More to come later. I'm off to St. Paul's Greek Othodox Church for an art history feild trip. I hope the weather stays nice.

Writings and Workshops

I got A LOT of writing done last night for Clockwork Queen. I have the first half or third of the book planned out. I still have to name characters and flesh them out some more. I also came up with this neat female character who is a navigator for an airship (what's a steampunk story without an airship? nothing I tell you!) I also need to flesh out the captain of her ship. I think they will help our 'heros' with their mission. *so excited*

I'm going to a workshop today for "Dynamic Fight Scenes" and they will teach us how to draw them. I'm excited because it's a subject I find chalenging and I believe that being able to draw them will help me improve. I look forward to taking figure drawing class and anatomy. I like how my figures turn out but sometimes I look at them later and it's like "why is that arm so long? Why are those legs so short?" kinda deal. I just look forward to improving ^_^ I dont' want to drastically change anything, I'm really happy with my style, I just want improve it.

I have to start doing homework today so more Clockwork Queen will have to wait for spare time -_-
