DOGGAH!!!

< I ADVISE GOING THROUGH THE REST >

I'm endlessly frustrated.

I dunno, boredom means I waste time on stupid and silly things... although my viscomm is looking awesome.

I need to screw with extra elements still :D

Distracted.

I did plenty of viscomm today, yet really none at all. I basically taught myself some weird photoshop techniques. And made a few wallpapers.

I'm sitting here talking to you, alone. This screen, a barrier separating us.

We are geographically challenged.

What can we do?

I think I can draw...

I wonder what life would be like if everything went to plan.

My life is like my sketches... I mean, they turn out well, but there are a lot of failures in between.

I haven't actually done much sketching, I used to draw stupid scenes constantly... I never actually drew properly. I recently picked up a pencil for vis comm just to sketch out some ideas I had, it makes it a lot easier to put things on the screen if you draw them first.

I went through a few design ideas when making Owys blog header.

This one didn't fit with the page theme, I like it a damn lot, but I really didn't work with the clean design.

This one too didn't fit with the theme, I tried to add a white vignette to make it blend into the site, but it made it look horrible.

This one fit the site design, but the edge on the bottom left didn't fit into the page, so I figured I needed to keep the header contained.

Bright red, looked great. Didn't fit with the pinky background stains.

Final.

I don't trace, or sketch from memory, it's just a lot of looking and judging distance/direction and tone.

I forget why I drew this one... something about being pissed off at the whole situation of my life, I dunno, it's a constant: HAPPY, SAD, HAPPY, SAD, HAPPY, SAD, HAPPY, SAD, HAPPY, SAD.

Oh look it's Penguin! Oh, she can only stay for an hour.

Oh look I get this now! Oh, wait, I don't get it when it's like 'this'.

It's weird, I'm happy overall, mainly because I'm always smiling to myself. But then the whole picture of spesh, parents, skiing, formal, etc just hits me.

I drew this one for vis comm, as a poster design idea.

I'm hard to draw :/

Sometimes I even impress myself...

[woah, I just realised I must have uploaded the full photo... don't try to expand it hehehe]
