I have a tumblr

Yeah I have a tumblr account now, just in case anyone is interested in following me there.

The Jonatoans Invade!

Enjoy!

Ciao.

“Hey, big-headed child…”

“…Are you the terran humanoid known as Jonathan Nelson?”

By the way, she’s holding a device called a Stellar Scanner, using it to display the details of who she’s looking for.

A sketch I literally did a few minutes ago. This nice lady (above) is a scout/retriever representative of the war-planet Jonato Omega Prime. The Jonatoans are one of the various humanoid races that I drew on this page (right).

I don’t know what her name is yet – if I’m even going to give her one – and I also haven’t gotten down the phonics of the Jonatoan language so I don’t know what her name would even sound like.

Usually when I’m thinking up alien languages, I have to compare them to the sounds of earth languages. For example the characters from the beginning of this post are from the Planet M. Their language along with most of the languages of the other planets in their solar system seems to be a fusion of Japanese and whatever language Egyptians spoke.

If not that then I compare them to the various calls of animals, made into more significant codes and patterns.

I think the Jonatoans have very deep speaking voices, and use roars, breaths and growls. This results in them sounding like they’ve been swallowing razors when they speak English or any other Earth languages.

I like the Jonatoan design for their clothes because despite those on the big sketch page above wearing what’s considered as “casual wear”, their outfits are very battle-ready. One recurring theme is the front of their suits remaining open when dressing casually. They believe everything that really matters for the body is in the torso, therefore it is coveted and must remain uncovered when out of the battlefield.

I apologize for the lack of colour that you may be seeing for the next few days. As you can more than likely see, I do not get much if any colouring practice, on or off of the computer.

I intend to get more practice in, and also see if I can practice drawing realism digitally.

Ciao.

Cute girl

 

Random sketch of a girl that I drew about a month back. Many of those who have viewed my sketchbooks frequently complain about the figures of the women I draw, suggesting that they all have large breasts, and all have hourglass figures.

Personally I don’t agree with this assessment completely. Not all of the women I draw are ridiculously well endowed… but truthfully, most of them are. This problem only refers to random sketches, and not so much characters which I am happy about.

So with that I decided to practice more drawing women with more conventional shapes and curves, or even none at all. I have to admit I really like this pic, so much so that I attempted to colour it. She has such a pretty face, and she still has fairly thick legs which I will always enjoy on a female figure.

More to come.

Ciao. 

Hey all.

Summer has almost arrived. I  am currently in the process of completing my A Level examinations, and then I have a series of entrance exams to complete as well.

It is my hope that I can return to posting when it is all said and done.

I do not have anything to present at the moment, and I apologize for those who were genuinely looking forward to seeing a new post if such people exist. Right now I am slightly traumatized by how little energy I have at the moment.

Oh well… Back to studying…

Also, this post is made thanks to my mother’s laptop… and viewers like you! Thank you!

Ciao

Wacky Names

Okay, felt like doing another post. Just makin it up as I go.

In terms of comic book allegiances I am a DC man. I’ve been trying to figure out why exactly and still have yet to come up with a definite reason. At first I assumed it was because DC has more iconic characters, except does it really? I doubt it.

You could argue “Are you kidding? The trinity: Superman, Batman and Wonderwoman are like the most iconic comic book characters.” but alternatively one could assert “Wolverine.” putting yourself into a circle of oh-yeah-that’s-true-ism that can and will leave you baffled. At least under this argument.

I did realize something close to the most plausible reason, that being the fact that there are more detectives in DC (appropriate) and I love a good detective story. I don’t know who my favorite superhero is, but it’ll help his chances if he’s a sleuth.

Another is a weird but simple fact, I can find more DC characters with really, really stupid-sounding names.

Bare with me here.

These names are so stupid that they sound awesome. Perfect example, the Legion of Superheroes.

Now if you ask me, these guys have the lamest names in all of DC superteams except for one other that I will get to don’t fret. It’s just that, there’s something about their names being so dumb and corny sounding, that makes it so cool. I think the idea is that, superheroism is weird already. Throwing on a costume, taking up a secret identity, running off and fighting crime. Therefore I believe there needs to be some lenience on how serious comic book heroes can possibly be portrayed. Even the coolest member of the trinity – of course Batman – is guilty of having a kinda funny-sounding name. I mean think about it… Batman?

In this regard the LoS takes the cake still. I mean… Lightning Lad… Lighting Lad? Eventually it gets changed to Lighting Man, but you know what? I think it should have been left alone. The fact that his name is goofy kind of makes him more iconic as a character. Weirder names are easier to remember.

To mention the rest of the Legion Trinity, Cosmic Boy can pass. Despite the fact that after a while he is no longer a boy, yet he keeps them name, that’s when the goofiness of his name sets in and he starts to become more memorable. Saturn Girl is a stupid and cool name, only because it sounds really odd, and at the same time if you didn’t know anything about the Legion you’d find yourself hard-pressed attempting to determine what her powers are from her name. “She shoots rings or something?”

Short post today. I just felt like typing so I did. I got the doing what I want part down, now I just gotta figure out how to make money off of it. Interbutts, give me munnies.

I hope to get a bio up, I’m just not sure when it’ll happen. Later all.

This is my evil playlist

Hopefully it works.

Haven't done one of these in a while

Hey all. How has the new year been treating you? Good I hope. At any rate I was bored so I decided to post something.

Recently I have been trying to get more into the graphic design practice. I sketch constantly, but I never seem to find time to hone my other skills, I'm not sure why... At any rate. Graphic design - more than likely, like many other art-forms - is fun to do when you are idle and need to kill time. Why? Because you can make easy excuses for getting practice in, which is always good.

For example: recently I discovered the folder properties in windows XP, and was going crazy on my various My Pictures sub-folders, changing default icons to icons of cameras, picking specific pictures to represent specific folders, and also - and this is where the graphics comes in - designing covers for the different groups of images.

Here's my favorite one, for the image folder "Nature Calls - A gallery of the works of art in nature"

The next is what I consider the better piece but still not my favorite (If that makes sense at all) "The Strobelight Seduction Gallery" a piece inspired by the works of Progressive House musician Kaskade. Beautiful music this man(?)/woman(?) makes. It helps calm me down, power me up, and I am frequently inspired by it, as the percussion resonates with my mind and my soul. Unfortunately blogger is going awol (as is the formula) so it won't upload the Strobelight Seduction pic. More than likely they're all going on MandelaSix, so if you want you can see them there.

Toodles

Your subscription to the Future Times

Okay here's an example of stuff we should have right now seeing as this is the futuristic world of 2010:

Holographic "Newspapers"

Old me reading a HoloPress

This was an idea that I had thought of when I was writing a novel for my Space Impact fanstory. I would call it fanfiction, except there's no manipulation of previously existing character's in the Space Impact story. Only new characters based within and around the realm of the Space Impact mythos. The only mention to the old games I made was of its star Geneva, and even so it was at a passing glance.

At any rate, the Holographic Newspaper aka HoloPress is basically like an Amazon Kindle with the exception that rather than having to buy each book and then download it like the Kindle, the HoloPress only requires turning it on and getting a subscription. Then it will receive the signal sent out by whichever news agency it covers, and project the stories into the Projection Frame for viewing and manipulation.

The stories will still follow a news paper format, and the Projection Frame has touchscreen capabilities allowing you to "turn through the pages" with a flick of the thumb. Processors are getting smaller and smaller. Microchips doubly so. I saw a projector the other day that connects on to the bottom of your cell phone. And I know that hologram technology is in use by armies and scientists. We have WiFi signals that span entire states... AND ITS 2010? WHY DON'T WE HAVE THESE YET?

I am thoroughly disappointed in you futuristic world of 2010!

Happy New Year Ya'll

I know late... AGAIN. christ.

Happy New Year everyone. Wow, a new decade. WHERE ARE MY FLYING CARS AND HOLOGRAM NEWSPAPERS? AS IN SERIOUSLY. I'm idle. I think I'm going to draw something and put it up here. brb.
