Miracle fruit

I don't like lemons or lemonade. I never got into the sour-tasting candy craze. But I found out about something called a miracle fruit which might make it so I can enjoy sour stuff. It's miracle fruit! Apparently this fruit coats your taste buds in a way that tricks them into thinking sour things are sweet- find out more at this wiki- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit

I found out about it from a comic I like to read (it's really funny and unique!). You can check out the comic here. Warning- it's for people are are 18 or older- http://www.darcomic.org/2008/07/02/2miraclefruit/

New drawing


Uploaded a new drawing to my deviantart account-

Raptor in Autumn

I like trying to use colors to depict light in my drawings. When you add in lights and shadows, the effects you get with colors is endless.

Writing

I've been trying to work on writing my book. I don't really know how to describe what it's about other than I am trying to write it in a stream-of-thought style like William Faulkner or like the Catcher in the Rye novel. I don't think I'll ever actually write it unless I make some kind of schedule where I work on it for an hour a day, or something like two days every week.

Problem is, I'm bad with schedules. I like my life to be more spontaneous and free-flowing. Schedules seem to get in the way of that.

Ghostbusters!

I just watched the two movies and now I want to watch the cartoon series from the 80s. I remember watching that when I was a kid. Maaan I miss those days. They don't make cartoons like that anymore. ;-;

Character headshot - Mocha



A sketch of one of my characters, Mocha. His design was pretty simple (he only wore shorts basically) but I'm going to put a cowboy-ish hat and a long coat on him. It seems to go with his laid back personality. ^-^

Wow headshots




A couple of headshots of characters from the World of Warcraft game. I think I am getting better at coloring but I'll keep working on it anyway. You can always get better when it comes to drawing. :)

These were both sketched then inked with a pen, then colored with Prismacolor color pencils and watercolors.
