Birthday gift for Tangle.

It has been a while! Let us just say that things have been…

Well, they’ve been incredibly rough.

I suppose that makes you the dumb snek here… doesn’t it?

It seems you may have your wish, dear boy.

((Guess who’s back into drawing again?))

Indeed, boy!

((I’m not dead! My lack of motivation has been much due to stress from the time leading up to, during and after moving to another city to take my first real job. I actually doodled this while at work, though there was nothing in particular to do. I felt shading was a bit much for a simple “hey here I am” but maybe I’ll go back to more complex stuff if the mood strikes. I can’t say I’ll guarantee any number of answers, but I would like to complete more asks if the circumstances are correct. Oh, and I also figured out how to track tags finally. I’ll be tracking “ask-tangle” and “tangle nathair” for those who may answer asks of mine.))

((Plus, I think this is the smallest I’ve ever made my sig.))

I suppose sometimes I let my imagination get out of hand, and I will sometimes pretend I’m a, erm… soda bottle elemental… I have no clue who keeps leaving these around the office, but it seems I’ve garnered quite the collection! They’re very easy for my mind to lift en masse, and make quite the pleasant sound when they slam into things. I’ve also made a habit of collecting the caps and redeeming them for points… though none of the rewards are worth it. Oh, well. Nothing lost, nothing gained.

((Yes, yes, I know, another huge delay. At least the blog’s not dead. I’m sure I’ll eventually catch up with all these asks, but for now, I’ll just take it in stride. It is still silly fun to do these on occasion.))

After a few comments about my suit being, eh… less than refined, I decided to take a trip to a new tailor. I believe this new suit looks much better, though I worry of how it will affect my agility. I’d hate for it to catch on a branch or something similar…

((Well, I’ve had a tablet for three days. If this isn’t proof I’m a fast learner, I dunno what is. I actually bought this one off a friend. It’s a Bamboo Pen & Touch, and for a technical user like me, it’s perfect. It doesn’t have tilt or fade or anything like that, but the pressure sensitivity (both pen and eraser tip), four buttons on the tablet, and two rocker buttons on the pen are perfect for entry-level drawing. I’ve settled on using GIMP for art, since, just as before, it has technical stuff I like, even if it does have a high learning curve.))

((Once surpassed though, I think I’ve found my style. I always wanted to gravitate towards a more realistic shading style, and finally I can do what I want. Help from people like Levy and Mejjers has assisted me finding a direction for my own art. Having never done a serious traditional drawing in my life, this is a breath of fresh air for yet another skill I never thought I had. Am I a genuine artist now?))

((Oh, and I guess I have a signature now, too?))

Ah, that’s simple! I rather like Gengars a good bit. They may be large, and possibly a bit mischievous, but they are quite good at what they do! I’ve also met a good couple who are rather agreeable ghosts, and they make excellent dinner partners.

Then again… there are a few more I find rather nice. Yamask are fairly cute, and I’ve not come across one that was disagreeable either. Sableyes are fairly harmless, and loads of fun to explore with, considering how in-tune with their environment they are. Also… I suppose Litwick is a rather cute ghost. Even if they want to burn my soul, I can’t help but give them hugs when they ask.

There’s also Drifloons, who while rather passive, always seem to have some complex thought on their minds! Shedinjas never seem to do much, but I’ve seen them make quite pivotal decisions before! Golurks, while usually stoic, tend to know how to have fun when given a proper nudge! Pumpkaboos are as cute as pumpkins come, and seem to have some sort of wonderful ability to come in all sort of sizes too! And- and… *pant pant pant pant*

*sigh*

I suppose there’s a lot of ghosts I would have over for dinner. I couldn’t possibly go through them all, but perhaps I’ll hold a party at some time, hm?

((I finally have a tablet! Now, I’ve spent about a day getting used to it, and I must say, it’s a large improvement over the 3DS. I started out with a simple 1-minute thing, then messed around with both GIMP and Ormr for a while, and finally ended up with the last image here today. While there’s not too much of an immediately visible improvement, there should be if I keep it up.))

((Now, I’ve been sick while doing these, and my life is still fairly busy, but it should be a lot less time-consuming to reply to asks now that I can just do them on the computer. Perhaps I will clear out some of the backlog soon enough.))

Just some dumb little poke-doodles guest-starring some of my poke-friends.

I had a lot of work to do today, so after it all I just wanted to draw a little thing for fun..!

I, er… must not have been entirely in my right mind at the time. I apologise for any permanent harm caused from my… *snicker* simply abhorrent acts, and will provide compensation to whoever needs such.

((Really though, this is absolutely excellent. I’ve been in a real slump lately, and this has helped cheer me up a ton, just because of what it is. To the 1 or so people who still look at this blog despite my inactivity, have this to look at until I can get things straightened out on my end. I know I’ll need to if I’m going to stay as cheery as I try to be.))

((Also, if you can, go commission this guy. He’s been an excellent friend of mine for years, and now that he’s trying to make his art into something profitable, he needs all the help he can get. If you like his style, check out his page; he also does NSFW stuff too, so don’t be deterred by the as-of-yet SFW nature of this blog. Trust me, I’m probably more twisted than most people I know, even if it doesn’t seem such.))

((On that note, I plan on keeping the blog SFW for a while after I get a tablet. It may eventually swap over, but it won’t be an immediate thing, and I won’t do it without warning. I’m still interested to hear what my followers have to say about the idea, so I suppose you can leave an ask if you like it, don’t like it, or if you’re just curious what sort of NSFW content I’m most interested in. Still, no worries. That’s a ways away.))
