My Life ATM!

Bought this little sketchbook to do some art while at work. Or whenever.

I have actually been thinking of making doing so to be honest.  The only obstacle I would face would be having to re-letter the series again. The last few years I actually letter the comics as I draw by hand.  Back in the WhoGirl days....I would draw the comic then letter the comics in computer afterwards. And I lost the first half of the 200 plus finished pages due to my computer at the time just crashing making them irretrievable from the hard drive. So not only lettering them and such, but I would have to remember what each character said in each of the panels and pages.  I am very interested in doing that, but I do wonder if I can remember what all I had put in their mouths at the time, also I wonder from passage of time and looking differently now at the characters would affect what they say now.  Would WhoGirl be the same character.  I am sure she will be, but something is probably going to change in the process. The idea has almost become an idea of an experiment.  Because I have looked at past comics I published, that was created with different eyes at the time.  I look at life differently, and sometimes toy with the idea of redoing them. But other times I think they should be left alone.

There are those in our lives that betray us all the time.  Not because they openly do so.  But because we put them on a pedestal in our lives they are not aware of.  We find those we hope give equally or more as we give them.   One tries to give of themself to someone we hope we can bond strongly with. We hope we come to their minds when they have free time in their lives, or when they are busy with their lives, hope they wish they could spend time with us. 

Then those end up betraying us, because we put so much hope into them, but their hope is somewhere else.  Some other person, or path in life.  For which we can’t really be angry about, but end up being angry with ourselves because we allowed ourselves to hope.

Fallout 4 Purified Water Can.  A craft project I did.

I created this as a gift for someone that probably loves Fallout 4 if not more than I do.  Crafted from two nut cans, and a label created on Manga Studio.  It took a while to find the proper cans I thought looked best with the pop top.  And it was a bit harder than I thought to find out what those contract numbers were.  The original screen caps were pretty blurry.  But I believe I got them correct. 

Tried to get the fonts as close as I could as seen in the game.

Inspiration-  I have to say this short film is a must watch!  It most likely has views because of the fact it is a Star Wars fan film.  But I was really happy to see there were comments pertaining to Macross. 

I started watching it and right away I was nostalgic for 80′s and early 90′s anime.  The detailed cell shading.  The way they use to put the shine on things back then.  The organic explosions.   The dynamic looking energy blasts.  The hyper camera movement that was seen in vintage anime, before The Matrix brought them to the big screen.  The actual ‘pen’ lines are all over these scenes.  I always loved seeing all those pen lines. 

The characters are a bit americanized, but you definitely can see the vintage anime style here. Less over sized eyes/ undersized mouths style seen in a lot of anime now.
