<i>Should really be heading to work..</i><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>ANYWAY</b>, totally hooked on One Piece all of a sudden. And by all of a sudden I mean for the past 2 or 3 months. Or more. Remembering is hard. I've followed many bro animes in my time, and I can see some of the inspiration from things like Dragonball, but something about One Piece.. it's pacing can be torturous, some of the writing can be very irritating, but- it sounds super cheesy- but when it gets into things like camaraderie, dreams, life passions.. it completely relates for some reason. And I find myself totally and emotionally invested. Needless to say, friggin' love One Piece.<br />

Also, would have drawn all the characters of the crew, but ran out of space.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-19882061267305850032012-10-02T09:50:00.002-07:002012-10-02T09:51:02.339-07:00Ninja Guy.Was bored, so I drew this ninja guy.

I have been drawing stuff, I swear! I just haven't really been good to my blog for a long time. I'd probably take me a few weeks to post all the things I've neglected to post. There are so many more things I want to get done, but just never have the time to do it. Maybe I should take a break from my job.

This is Athanatai, our psionic.. what was it.. wizard? I forget. Magic McWielderson. There are so many magic people in my group, I forget the specifics (says the guy with bricks for brains). Oh, and she's our resident femme fatale. Well, as femme fatale as you can get in a guild dubbed the "Lady Tendrils" (did I mention that already? Yeah, we're the Lady Tendrils.. long and rather stupid story). She likes to flirt. And create force shards. As far as my character (and myself) is aware, those are her most prominent features. Well actually no. In my character's perspective, she's the one that tends to blow stuff up in my face every once in a while. </div>

Watched "the Secret World of Arrietty" today. Well, yesterday. What does it matter. It was cute. Cool visuals. I feel like they could have played up the "little people borrowing big people stuff" part a little more. Or a lot more. I find the idea of living as a tiny little person in an actual size person's world very appealing. It makes mundane life environments seem like an adventure setting. It would probably take a tiny person an hour to get from one side of a house to another. I'd probably take them about 5 minutes to get across my studio, but I figured I'd try imagining it anyway. So I took some pictures of my studio and drew little people in them. Well, I've managed to draw one. Was planning on drawing a lot more of them, but... it's getting late (lol. excuses). </div>

<i>What is she doing, hiding behind my Snapple bottles filled with loose change? Does she want to read those Sandman comics behind her? Well, at least someone's reading them. I'll get to them. Soon... Probably.</i><br />
<br />
Also possibly worth noting, I watched the movie in both English and Japanese. It's interesting how they differ. In the English version, the characters are more direct with their emotions, choosing to be more vocal with their thoughts. The Japanese version is far more subtle, to the point that you pretty much have to guess what everyone is thinking half the time. I don't know if I have a preferred type of storytelling, but I do like the music in the Japanese one better. The weird Disney pop at the end is quite painful.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-87496711217968367472012-05-24T08:31:00.000-07:002012-05-24T08:39:11.911-07:00D&D: QuinnTo start off our D&D group's characters, here's our creepy winkin' rock god bard, Quinn.

Anyway, I was doodling this, and since I hadn't posted in a long time, thought I'd post it anyway. Have been playing Dragon Quest IX. This is my character, Pancakes (again), as she would appear in much sexier form. As apposed to super chibi, which is how she appears in-game. Was kind of going for a watercolor thing. Then I got tired of working on it and started drawing something else. We'll see how that something else goes. Oh, I guess something else I can post a bit later are the D&D characters I doodled for my friends and myself. I have discovered that D&D is fun.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-27607034943506551022012-01-15T12:29:00.001-08:002012-01-15T12:33:11.512-08:00azula.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi128BogEis3Uu9O3Um0NSrPlONsxqVsL39N-BVtzw0ejooE3osrF0PUPE-Q5iixTmFLaUgCuFI9t5P4L6fcV6UTg-HgdnpTbvRFNdA6-gNDDhKfVZSiJI6lUAr7hV6P6h07YubMFViDSY/s1600/azula.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 194px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi128BogEis3Uu9O3Um0NSrPlONsxqVsL39N-BVtzw0ejooE3osrF0PUPE-Q5iixTmFLaUgCuFI9t5P4L6fcV6UTg-HgdnpTbvRFNdA6-gNDDhKfVZSiJI6lUAr7hV6P6h07YubMFViDSY/s320/azula.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697958578036858818" /></a><br />whilst working on a project of mine (will post about that soon enough. should all be done by the end of the month. hopefully...), i had avatar: the last airbender running marathon style. i dont know how i forgot, but azula is one of my all time favorite villains.

<br />
Ever have an idea that, as you think about it, sounds like the most amazing idea you have ever had? Then, have you ever had that great idea feeling backfire when you get to the actual execution of said idea? I ask because that's pretty much what happened with this drawing. It <span style="font-style: italic;">SEEMED</span> like a good idea, an angel seeing her demon reflection through a puddle sounds... well it sounds cliched, but also visually appealing. And to be honest, the idea itself might not be at fault, but this drawing... after the hours I spent on it, seems disappointing. I had finished half of the drawing and was already not liking it, but it would have been a waste to just leave it. So I finished it to the best of my ability and patience. It's a something. It's a finished something. And I suppose that's still infinitely better than an unfinished something. Now I can finally doodle something else.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-83825759519264346922011-08-19T17:12:00.001-07:002011-08-19T17:28:52.837-07:00Random Noun Generator: Stairs.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLtRrFBfNKutdw4ZU-tGu7Lycq9r12G7C2wLeCe_VsjqVv8QkntrU-7yoYB9BxRWdsDBPjw7lloffCcvbrddUGTWCICeIOS2pHdnii66QcejU6MuAX2kIksAWUaNp1TPpnRJH1f-_4PI/s1600/rwg_stairs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLtRrFBfNKutdw4ZU-tGu7Lycq9r12G7C2wLeCe_VsjqVv8QkntrU-7yoYB9BxRWdsDBPjw7lloffCcvbrddUGTWCICeIOS2pHdnii66QcejU6MuAX2kIksAWUaNp1TPpnRJH1f-_4PI/s320/rwg_stairs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642724506582698098" /></a>
<br />Kind of a WTF moment.
<br />
<br />Couldn't decide on what to doodle today, so I found a random noun generator to do the hard work for me. It gave me stairs. I suppose that is pretty random. I was rather expecting a word I didn't recognize, but I guess there are only so many nouns in the world.
<br />
<br />My recent style is borrowing heavily from my friend, mister <a href="http://radfordsechrist.blogspot.com/"><span>Rad Sechrist</span></a>. And a little bit from another artist, a <a href="http://billotomo.blogspot.com/"><span>Bill Otomo</span></a>. Ok maybe not so much Bill. More like I WISH I could draw something even NEARLY as nice as he does. I don't know what it is, but there's something very comfortable about sketching in this style. It's like I'm still drawing, but it feels relaxed like doodling. I'll keep working on a way to make it more of my own, but right now, yeah, I can't deny how much it looks like copying.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-43013254650398643622011-08-16T18:59:00.000-07:002011-08-16T22:55:57.605-07:00To take up the blade.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-tYHIRxDJZ1S5_Hna1ZCSksm2UZx1WO5IW9B-qkrRkxrsFcJfvDIK_qfkVYt4gKrjcNsniazw9Er8tqHafA-isEifEhjNRUy6O3UCn_wjVQai4-babnO-38PA1scxaVIO504GDqgn-0/s1600/samurai_guy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-tYHIRxDJZ1S5_Hna1ZCSksm2UZx1WO5IW9B-qkrRkxrsFcJfvDIK_qfkVYt4gKrjcNsniazw9Er8tqHafA-isEifEhjNRUy6O3UCn_wjVQai4-babnO-38PA1scxaVIO504GDqgn-0/s320/samurai_guy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641638926512028706" /></a>
<br />Watched a lot of samurai related anime recently. Thanks to the convenience of Netflix. Doodled this during my lunch break but didn't have time to post it.
<br />
<br />I've been working on a project recently. I've noticed that any time I work on something bigger than some doodles, I spend more time thinking about what to draw than I actually spend drawing things. So doodles it is! Not that I'm done with my hypothetical project. I sure have a lot of hypothetical projects...mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-74683946287759528812011-08-09T19:06:00.000-07:002011-08-09T19:07:48.077-07:00Deadstronaut.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpQ2oGK6GdrfpUfdjlBmLwTyQEPKaKmXZXT6Uvs3auc1V5TgiVPVBTZ4ZcJC0fxEuPpbfucCx48kCGnYSMXXENknQfQ1sSmlyKPAPNc2L19WxVKSoPeJ4sH2vDUyt093Hg-9fHKHG3x8/s1600/doodleers2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpQ2oGK6GdrfpUfdjlBmLwTyQEPKaKmXZXT6Uvs3auc1V5TgiVPVBTZ4ZcJC0fxEuPpbfucCx48kCGnYSMXXENknQfQ1sSmlyKPAPNc2L19WxVKSoPeJ4sH2vDUyt093Hg-9fHKHG3x8/s320/doodleers2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639043190810955714" /></a>

Sure it has it's crazy conspiracy plot line, it's highly implausible assassination practices, as well as some crazy scifi nonsense to boot, but I'd be some kind of cynic if I didn't find it interesting. And not in the same way that Michael Bay Transformers can be "interesting", but in one of those ways where... where you see a man jump off the tip of a high tower, landing into a stack of fresh hay, then popping right out like nothing happened, and you think to yourself how highly impossible that is, but for some reason you are willing to let it slide. Sure, I'll believe that. Like I'll believe modern society is under the influence of the Templars, or that there's some sort of DNA strand or something that can be accessed to relive your ancestor's life, or that dressing flamboyantly is ok for an assassin as long as he or she is wearing a hood. It's THAT engaging. No one is going to tell me Leonardo Da Vinci isn't an awkward and silly man, who happens to be buddies with an Italian assassin! Not on my watch! Because I'm clearly watching... <span style="font-style:italic;">something</span>... Didn't know where I was going with that.

I probably should have just put it aside for a while, but knowing myself, I'd probably never finish it. So after a lot of mucking about with this drawing, it's finally at a stage that I can call sort of somewhat finished. Good enough.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602381009046157089.post-34803943078579376892011-06-17T09:05:00.000-07:002011-06-17T10:13:53.526-07:00Makes me hungry.<iframe width="400" height="257" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cUDNXlIXy48" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />Not exactly the most creative way to start anew, but I just felt this was too good to pass. Rarely do I get a taste of something awesome entertainment wise from my homeland, especially something that isn't <a href="http://www.forkparty.com/2391/chinese-superhero-knockoff-fails"><span>blatantly</span></a> <a href="http://kotaku.com/5812722/meet-final-combat-chinas-shameless-team-fortress-2-rip+off"><span>stolen</span></a> <a href="http://kotaku.com/5812722/meet-final-combat-chinas-shameless-team-fortress-2-rip+off"><span>from</span></a> <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/05/chinese-toymaker-forced-to-apologise-for-gundam-ripoffs/"><span>something</span></a> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hallstaff-austria-guandong-the-most-audacious-chinese-counterfeit-yet-2011-6"><span>else</span></a>. But every once in a while, a gem, bright as a star, finds a way to penetrate my eyeballs and take over my brain goop. This is one of those things. The animation... so good. I'm actually inspired to do something amazing. Unfortunately, I need to go to work, where all that inspiration will probably be drained from my soul. Hopefully, when I watch this again when I get home, I'll be inspired once again by the pure awesomeness of this here short. Needless to say, please watch this.mr arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916067608690961595noreply@blogger.com2
