Edit

I've narrowed it down to The Devil's Cry and Sonne. If they don't like having two from me, well... yeah.

Dear deviantART;

It's been a while, hasn't it? Well... since last Tuesday, at least. I've just been so busy with working two jobs; at least until the end of the year.

Wal*Mart has been good to me thus far. Except last night when I had to stock Cosmetics. And it kicked my ass. It didn't help that that was my third night working there and I'd previously done a shift at Big M; so my leg was killing me. Though I bought some rapid-release pain pills... that are... in my car at this time.

So here I am, sitting at the laptop for the first time since that night, I believe. I had a minute or two on Friday, but that was it; looking up something on a site for my neighbor.

And though I was nearly falling asleep in the chair in the living room whilst playing Animal Crossing (meteor shower. It was lovely), I'm semi-awake enough to thank you for the 458 Deviations and 120 Messages (most of them being Journals... again). The 458 Deviations wouldn't be so bad if they weren't mostly Kingdom Hearts fangirling and YAOI. I honestly don't know why I'm still in that group. Oh well.

Now that I've completed the deviation viewing; it is time to type what I want to get down before my wrists decide to scream bloody murder at me and my brain shuts down completely from lack of sleep.

~comicbookassembly's new assignment is drawing a comic based on a song of choice. I can't think of just ONE that I want to do; so what I'm going to do is list the songs I want to make a comic of. If you're interested; Google the lyrics and listen to it on last.FM or YouTube. And perhaps ask me why I decided to have that song on the list.


Here we go:

Sonne - Rammstein
Herzeleid - Rammstein
Riptide - Sick Puppies
War - Sick Puppies
White Balloons - Sick Puppies
Always - OOMPH!
You've Got It - OOMPH!
Viel zu Tief - OOMPH!
They Don't Care About Us - Michael Jackson
The Devil's Cry - ... the guys who wrote and performed it for DMC3 OST

Probably a few more, but I'm starting to get a headache.

Also: I have got to stop drawing KG fanart. It's all I think about now. Learyry has found a nice home in my heart; the little asshole.

That and I want to do original stuff for the above comic(s).


... I'm going to nom a couple Confetteria Raffaello soon before I go to bed. Which will be soon. I think I want to draw thumbs for "Sonne" and "The Devil's Cry".

I'm downloading a couple Backstreet Boys songs.

Awesome.

I've been thinking about the Pen Tool in Photoshop since last night. I've never properly introduced myself to it; my lines have been all but professional, sketchy is the word I was thinking of to describe my inking skills in my digital art. The problem with it is my hand cramps up way too easy nowadays that when I'm drawing the same thing in three layers (sketch, detailed, "ink" outline) I can barely finish it. Now the Pen Tool seems to be somewhat friendly, albeit time-consuming; you have to have your lines perfectly on your sketched lineart else it'll fuck it all up.

Weighing the pros and cons of my style of lineart versus the Pen Tool, I really can't come up with any solution to my problem until I actually draw something traditionally (I grabbed a SCRAP I uploaded a couple years ago) and use the Pen Tool to "ink" it.

I've heard it was more time-consuming, because you should line all of your art, as well as layer it, before creating the ink stroke. Not to mention if you want to simulate pressure, which is delicious, because I've played around with the Pen Tool a bit

Nixxeh, meet Pen Tool. Pen Tool, Nixxeh. Now that you've been introduced to each other, I hope you have a lovely time together.

_{That, and I really can't get myself to sleep, yet.}
