Huh...

My LiveJournal is slowly coming together. I have a Master Post that I'll update periodically and I have selected a Supernatural animated mood theme. Which reminds me that I need to catch up on Season 7. I've only watched the first episode and maybe 10 minutes of the second one. I think it's already halfway through the season now. *Sheepish*

On a happy note, I've been participating in NaNoWriMo and have almost 9k written. I had too many essays due to really get it done in November, but I'm definitey not giving up. I'm planning on making this a graphic novel, so I'm also designing the characters. I also have a small collage/mixed media series planned.

Dean completed... though not as expected

That last W.i.P I put on here? Yeah... didn't go as planned. I'm considering it a dead drawing until I figure out what I want to do to it. On the other hand, I started and completed a different version of Dean Winchester... and it actually turned out fairly decent, if I may say so myself. Here's the completed version and work-in-progress shots.

Completed version. Took a few hours; done with HB, 2B, 4B and 6B lead.

Current work-in-progress

Dean Winchester fanart again... I have a long way to go.

Watercolor and recent doodles

I still have quite a ways to go, to get this all up to speed... but I decided to go ahead and upload two recent drawings- one a quick sketch and the other a watercolor and pen drawing that I'm satisfied with. As I mentioned before, I think, I'll probably upload most of what I draw on here. That being said, I have "good days" and "UGH" days, so not all drawings will be equal in overall quality. That's life, though. ^^;

Synthesized face that started off as a quick pen drawing.

And for the not so pretty, though still useful, drawing.

An... attempt at Drawing Dean Winchester, from the box set cover for S1 of Supernatural.

   Yeah, the Dean sketch didn't work out so well... Good practice for speed drawing and being more loose with my pens though. And for something that only took me ten minutes, I feel it turned out decent.

An Update

  I've been a bit busy, of late, but I have multiple entries planned that I need to do. For one, I do have artwork and photography that I need to upload. Finally used up some film this summer at a local boardwalk, so those'll be going up. Still doing the digital portion of the processing on a chunk of them. I'll also hopefully have an image ready to put up for my "About the Artist" page.

  I've also started watching Supernatural recently. I'm now on to Season 3, episode 7... even though I only started watching this a few weeks ago. I'm a tad bit addicted to the show, be honest. I ended up doing a few marathon runs, to avoid getting stuck on a few cliffhangers. I'm digging the main characters and the 67' Chevy Impala is pretty freaking awesome. While many of the episodes seem to be little mini horror movies, the humor and interesting characters keep it lighthearted and entertaining enough to keep it from drowning in angst, etc. Another plus: I love classic rock and that seems to be the main focus of the show's music. Talk about freaking awesome! Well, awesome except for the fact that "Highway to Hell" and "Back in Black" are stuck in my head... on repeat. While I may like those particular songs by AC/DC, they get mildly frustrating when they won't get unstuck from your brain. ^^; I wonder if Hotel California will make an appearance in the soundtrack?

More to come later, essentially.
