"I want to see everything now."

And today I took one step further down that railroad tack of life. I had to do an art project for school and I've always wanted to do a sort of digital collage so for this assignment I had to do some form of art related to the book study I'm doing on 'Fahrenheit 451.' (It's a great, classic, thought-provoking short read. I highly recommend it.) So I kind of wanted to do a digital mash up for one of the scenes from the book and add a little quote and keep in mind this is the first time I've really done something like this so I just picked out a couple images:




And just sort of mushed them together the best I could using Pixlr Express, touched it up a bit, added tons of layers and filters and adjusted the lighting, etc. etc. I think it took me a little over an hour. And in the end I came up with this:


Now for a suitable quote:



I selected this quote from pages 161-162:
"Montag looked at the river. We'll go on the river. He looked at the old railroad tracks. Or we'll go that way. Or we'll walk on the highways now, and we'll have time to put things into ourselves. And someday, after it sets in us a long time, it'll come out our hands and our mouths. And a lot of it will be wrong, but just enough of it will be right. We'll just start walking today and see the world and the way the world walks around and talks, the way it really looks. I want to see everything now. And while none of it will be me when it goes in, after a while it'll all gather together inside and it'll be me. Look at the world out there, my God, my God, look at it out there, outside me, out there beyond my face and the only way to really touch it is to put it where it's finally me, where it's in the blood, where it pumps around a thousand times ten thousand a day. I get hold of it so it'll never run off. I'll hold onto the world tight someday. I've got one finger on it now; that's a beginning."

I call it 'Floating Sound Garden.'

Don't ask. I don't know. I also feel that this is to impressive a title for a rough little doodle like this:


Perhaps one day I shall recreate it and it will be worthy of its title.
Until then... doodle onward! *brandishes lance and rides off into the sunset on a turtle*

le Art Dump


Guess I'll just put these here:
Just a little
experiment
with a new
style
I love this sort of Disneyish style but I always forget about it and go back to my default style.

These are some characters for a story me and The Samster
are trying to write together.
Mostly just wanted proper faces. Please excuse Summer's awful proportions. I was too lazy to redraw her.
This is supposed to be the characters from
Diana Wynne Jone's last novel:
The Islands of Chaldea.
Or at least, how I imagined them to be.
The Islands of Chaldea was such a good book. I couldn't even tell where Diana left of and her sister began. The characters were perfect and I loved Plug-Ugly.

Angel. Copied from book 7 of the Maximum Ride manga.
It's been a while since I last picked up my pencil and drew something I'm genuinely proud of. This one felt good to draw.

White Crayola pencil crayon
on black construction paper.
I've always wanted to draw white on black, but I just never properly did until now. It was so much fun. This was based off Aslan off the cover of a Chronicles of Narnia collection. I like it so much I think I might frame it.
Angel from Maximum Ride manga #7.
This was so much fun to draw. It was something new and challenging, yet it turned out amazing and brought back the feeling I get each time I draw MR fanart.

Gasman, from the cover of MR #5.
Once I finished the sketch of this one, I hated it. It was awful, plain, and a waste of good paper. Then i took my finger and started smudging. And smudging. And lo and behold this emerged and now I love it.

So yup same old same old I'm not going to bore you with an update. Go read Bridie's Domain, etc. etc.

Fluffy

Soyup, I was about halfway through drawing this little guy's head when I started freaking out.


I haven't drawn animals in so long I thought I might've been out of practice. Apparently not.

This is last year's puppy:


I has improved.

The New Horror

Before we begin:

I've been drawing lately. Actually, to be more precise, I've been taking pictures of my drawings lately.

This is Icewolf.

This is Aurum, Icewolf's character.

And I think this is Tamiki.
Here's a wittle kitty,

And a wittle puppy.
And here's the wittle kitty and the wittle puppy together.
With the legs of my zebra above them.
Here's da wittle puppy again and again and again.
(I have dubbed him Mac.)

And here's da wittle kitty again and again. And again.
I named her Sky.

AND NOW. THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.
('Cause I'm sure all that crap up there was so amazing.)

(Re)Introducing: Gayle!

Gayle has been here only once right here, though she also made a small appearance here.
The only difference is her age. And a couple quirks.
I actually did a little character sketch.

Gayle

Gayle: *noms chocolate*
Violet: Aw, you cutie.
Gayle: *drools*
Taylor: How old is she?
Lily: Around three, I'm guessing.
Zagum: Chocolate? At her age?
Mimosa: *shrug* We found her on our doorstep and that's what she was eating.
Truette: ...your doorstep?
Lily: Yup. There was a note: *reads*

This is Gayle.
Please take good care of her.
I know she is in good hands.
I do not, however, know when I shall return.
P.S. She loves chocolate.

Marth: Hey, Gayle. *awkward with children*
Gayle: Aah! *grabs Marth's hair*
Marth: Ah, leggo leggo leggo!
Lily: *pries open fists* Be gentle. This is Marth, can you say Marth?
Gayle: Mauth. Mauth mauth mauth.
Marth: O_O
Gayle: Mauth! *hugs Marths leg*
Marth: She's drooling on my knee.
Gayle: MAAAUUUTTTHHH! *screams*
Marth: Make her stop!!! *utter anguish and horror*
Tacos: *laughs* We love you Mauth.
Marth: <_< Shut up.

I moustache you a question...

but I will shave it for later.

This is my hand.
With a moustache stamped onto it.
And then I drew a spectacle on it.
I made the stamp out of an eraser.
Like this:

Not my tutorial.
Sadly, I had to make mine with a cheap japanese sushi eraser and it still doesn't work that great. And my knife was kind of dull.

Waif Bookmark

I'm re-reading 'House of Many Ways'. It's one of the sequels to 'Howls Moving Castle', one of the best books in the world.

Yesterday I did a little doodle of Waif, a white little dog Charmain (Main character from 'House of Many Ways') finds in Great Uncle William's house.

Waif from 'House of Many Ways'
I liked her so much I just couldn't bring myself to glue it into my sketchbook with all my other strange doodles.
So I use my favorite marker to add shadows:

Waif again. (House of Many Ways)
And drew a cake for Waif (Cause for such a small dog she has a HUGE appetite):
And made a Waif Bookmark with quotes on either side:
What do you think?

If you haven't read Howls Moving Castle, Castle in the Air or House of Many Ways, you are seriously missing out. They're cute story-tale type books dealing with magic, quirky events, and adorable characters. Read them or die of lack of awesomeness.

Just kidding.

(Although, Bookblogger, you have to read them. Or you will die. coughbymywrathcough)
