Hey! Sorry for my absence. You were aware, though, so don't act like I didn't tell you.
Kaitlin and I got married and we've been freakin'. Starting a household is hard work! We still need lots of little things (kitchen things, mostly) to have stuff go smoothly. We will survive, though.
Outside of a couple hours of homework on my honeymoon, I didn't draw at all that week. BUT! This week has been my first commuting down to UVU from Salt Lake City (Where we live now) and I've done some cool sketches with the large blocks of travel time. I'm excited for when things slow down so I pump some serious time into portfolio pieces. I'm at my parent's house right now using their internet and picking up my router so I can activate our internet when I get back up to SLC. Expect a number of posts this month. I don't remember where I said that I wanted to hit 500 posts by the end of the year, but it's still a thing for me and I'd really like to do that.
...I just opened my box from Amazon to ensure it was the right router. It turns out that it wasn't a router at all, but a wedding gift from a friend. It will certainly aid us in making delicious meals, but it won't let me pay my bills online or update my blog. That seriously changes my plans for the next three days.
Okay. Back to freakin'!!
I left myself a note to mention She Who Mars the Skin of Gods. Protest the Hero is my favorite band, and since my mp3 player died a few weeks back I've been using an old iPod I had lying around. I've been at the mercy of my musical tastes from years ago, and thankfully there's some Protest on there to lessen the hurt. I really love this song, especially THIS PART to about 2:18.
This next one is me pushing comfort zones. It's a view of Salt Lake City from the North Temple Frontrunner stop.
I keep forgetting to ask you to show me your sketches from the train! I'm glad I got to see your view of SLC finally, it looks great! It makes me excited to see what you can do if you spend more time and pour in a lot of detail. I love it when you do environments! I like your funny little characters too of course, but your scenes always look terrif when you spend time on them. So proud of my bando! (Last part of husband with an O. It just came to me. We'll see if it sticks.)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do more environments, and I will! The perspective just becomes a problem when there's perspective on something. That's why most characters fly through the ether. But I'll try to force myself to do more. When we get settled in and I have a job, I'd like to go into the city and draw gross alleys and other nasty city stuff. And Bando? Reminds me of this: http://eyeshield21.wikia.com/wiki/Bando_Spiders
DeleteSo, mr. 401 with the sword has a really expressive hand. I like it. You have gotten good at that sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you! What you may not realize about this picture is that the "4" is a "Y" and the full word reads "Yolo." What an unpleasant surprise!
DeleteI like the view of SLC. It reminds me of what I used to see as a child while riding the street car in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI've decided I like the city. Kaitlin and I plan on going in and having adventures once we're settled a bit more.
