I want to try doing a daily sketch again.

Since I don't want to spam anyone's friends-lists, though, I've created a community for it - brazen_art. In all likelihood I'll end up abandoning it a week from now. Still, it's always possible I might stick with it.

I'm actually seriously considering deleting all the stuff from my deviantArt account. There are too many creepy people on dA. Plus I've had the account since 2002! While I haven't really improved as much as I'd like in the last 6 years, my old stuff is still mildly embarrassing. I find it difficult to delete things, though? I wish there was some sort of "Make Private" option. That way I could keep all the idiotic comments, but without having to worry about getting more.

EDIT: It's snowing AGAIN. I don't like driving in the snow. I skipped class last week, but I don't think I can do that again. ARGH. ARGH ARGH ARGH. Why can't the snow come at a convenient time for once?

...one of these days I need to find out where I put my tablet.

Watanabe, please stop giving your characters hats. I can't draw them. Although, now that I think of it, Shchell is the only new character to be given a fun hat. So, in the end, it was my fault for drawing him instead of one of the others. Actually, now that I think about it, the fact that the new characters lack dorky hats makes me somehow... very sad.

While I'm posting art, does anyone know anything about this and whether artists should be worried about it? Apparently there's a piece of legislation going up before Congress that would more or less force everyone to copyright every work of art they have done or else they lose all right to it. I think it's definitely a piece of legislation that shouldn't pass, but I'm curious if it actually has a chance of passing. I really hope not, but I lack any sense of confidence in politicians.

Today I actually finished one of those art memes that've been going around deviantArt.

I-I just wanted to draw Marluxia. Sigh.







...my hair is too long. It takes forever to dry and really doesn't look nice enough to keep it the way it is. I need to find a new haircut. One that's shorter, but long enough to pull back in a ponytail. And doesn't have bangs. And doesn't take that long to fix in the morning. Sigh.



EDIT:


........OTL I-I may as well just mark everything read, right? ...because there's no way I'm ever getting through all of that.

Colored while watching the Star Wars Holiday Special. Attempted to use night colors without looking at any sort of reference? I think I did reasonably well.

...I have a lot of art I should scan in. Since I have all this free time before school starts again. Um.

( Mass Effect (spoilers! and art?) )

tl;dr: MAKO SUCKS DIE DIE DIE

Also, I ended up getting Guitar Hero 3 for Christmas. ANYONE WHO CAN PLAY ON HARD+ DIFFICULTY IS FREAKISHLY TALENTED. I can 5-star all Normal and Easy songs, but Hard is impossible. I got Harvest Moon: Magical Melody too, and learned that I suck at farming and should give up and go back to raising livestock or fishing. Games are not supposed to be difficult =__=

Today was nice because I actually accomplished something.

Mass Effect comes out next Tuesday. I'm debating whether I should buy it or not. On one hand, I won't be able to play it until halfway through December. On the other hand, it's MASS EFFECT and I've been waiting forever for it to come out. Maybe the best path is to buy it but then have one of my family members hide it. My natural cheapness will prevent me from buying another one!
