Brittle Wings

IT’S ON MAH FINGAH.

Almost stood on it when I was out a walk at the weekend!  Was away on one of the islands and I went out a walk down the beach to go seal watching (because there’s nothing more breath taking than watching the glorious creations that are seals hauling their torpid bodies aloft rocks so they can scratch themselves and wave at passersby) when I did a double take at seeing this little guy hidden in the leaves.

Anyway, I thought I’d make this a seperate post to keep the marker review all out on its own. And also, while I’m actually sharing thoughts I’d like to update here a bit more often with, well, stuff. That probably isn’t very interesting but I should at least make the effort to make this place look lived in, no?

Anyway, I bought a new computer! Finally! I’m not loving Vista, but I’ll be getting the Windows 7 upgrade on it. It’s just beeyootiful to be able to turn on my new laptop without it dying within three seconds (or halfway through drawing something amazing in Manga Studio that I could never possibly recreate just before I do a save…) . Still transferring work from my old one though, and I seriously need to clear my desk so I can actually sit at while working (what a novel idea).

Here’s a quick doodly-comic that I did a couple of weeks ago. I should actually shed a tear at this point, for it t’was the very last thing I ever did on my faithful old machine…

What the hell has happened to my style?! The effort I used to put into every single frame, the sweat, blood and tears?! Oh well. I prefer this sketchy look anyway! Means I can get away with drawing boogly eyes (not that that is a real artistic term, but you understand…).
