Hello there.

So, I recently rediscovered my dA account. And apparently I recently discovered this journal thing. I'm not good at keeping up with blogs; I'll just warn you right here and now. Usually what happens is I make a few regular posts (like one every week or slightly less frequently), then I kinda forget and abandon it, then it sits and rots on the interwebz for all eternity until the hosting site deletes it due to extreme inactivity.

I even have unpublished vlogs. (Vlogs? Whatever.) And I can't even keep up with THOSE. Yeah, I fail.

So I came up with some drawing ideas in the shower tonight (isn't that where you get all your best ideas?), so I just finished drawing those in pencil. For real, formal drawings such as these are going to be, I draw it in pencil on crappy paper (e.g. lined paper, graph paper), then transfer it to printer paper by tracing it in a light pencil outline, then I outline THAT outline in pen so that the pencil doesn't smear. Then I color it with colored pencils after letting the ink dry. (I use a lot of ink. Even if it's a ballpoint pen, of which a black one is what I typically use. So I literally have to let it DRY for a few hours.) Then I scan it to my laptop, touch it up in Photoshop Elements if need be, and post to dA. That's what I did for Nadya (my first Seventh Sanctum contest entry). Speaking of Seventh Sanctum...

...nope, they haven't posted the winners yet.

Well I think I'm an hour ahead of dA time (which really sucks because when TV shows say 9/8c or something, you never know when it's on because the format doesn't apply to the Mountain Time Zone...basically 9/8c means it comes on at 9:00 everywhere except the Central Time Zone, where it comes on at 8:00...but that's not always true)...wait, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah. I think I'm an hour ahead of dA time because the top of the post says 9:24 PM, so I'mma go to bed.

...nah, I think I'll stay up a little while longer and watch this thing on Jay Leno about stupid criminals. I love laughing at human stupidity. Including my own. ... What? A school night? Meh, I'm fine, my AP test isn't until next Thursday.
