Squish Loves

Bet you're getting tired of seeing these, aren't you?

It's a shame I'm not tired of making them yet.

This is a special request I made for Sarah. I don't think I've ever been straight up asked to draw something for someone before, or at least not seriously. Usually trades, ATC's, all that jazz, so this felt special to me and I wanted to make sure I did a good job.

I wish I was as on the ball with my commission. Tomorrow, tomorrow.

On a side note, I should never be given free reign to draw a curvy lady. I go nuts.

Sue and Chase both belong to Sarah, and are characters in her comic the Awakened. If you haven't read it, she's recently rebooted everything and started from scratch, and it's a really cool read. Don't worry, the first few pages involving Chase are nightmare fluid. You're not supposed to understand.

I've always loved Sue, since I first saw her. She's colourful, comfortable, fun, and often reminds me of me. Up until the reboot, all of her stat's matched mine too. Sue's awesome fun to draw because of all of her curves and colours; right up my alley.

Chase, I don't draw as much. It doesn't help that I enjoy spending my spare time tormenting him, and the fact that he's anorexic and skinny as a bean pole. I have issues with skinny people. Even my own. I just can't draw them properly. Thunder thighs, all around!

I tried to stick to mostly repetitive patterns for Chase, and I refrained from giving him vibrant blue arm warmers. All the various shades of gray were bothering me about as much as Irwin's bandaging was, but I managed. Chase, you so drab. Spice up your life! Wear a green hat or something. No? No? No funky accessories? Okay, I'll give you one of those later.

For now, I'll make you wear emo pants! This is what happens when I design costumes without looking at references. He normally wears ratty tatty baggy pants. Not emo pants. Oh well. And I doubt he'd wear the shoes I gave him, but you know what, I like those kinds of shoes. With some proper rubber soles on them. I like converse too.. I don't know what I was thinking.

For Sue, because she's Sue, I picked whatever loose pattern I had on hand. I really like how she turned out! She is wearing; the lime green boots I desperately want from Target that won't ship to Canada, the purple skirt I constantly regret not buying from old Navy, and a yellow sweater that I own but is much to small for me.

SUE, I AM SO ENVIOUS OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

Darnit.

Think I might change the texture I used on the skin tones... they sort of look diseased.

This was a lot of fun to work on, and it was a great way to start the break. My left hand is a little sore, but hey, at least my right hand is functioning properly again. That's all that matters, yeah?

Eventually I'll stop drawing heart bubbles and calling them backgrounds. I promise. I couldn't really think of anything else that would have been relevant to what I was drawing.

Without further ado, here you go Sarah, I hope you like it.

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

My digital media teacher stinks.

I went to open my files to work on my master page earlier today, and it's packaged in such a format that my computer can't read it.

I had to wait until business class, get the files emailed to me by a fellow classmate, and lost my entire working day. So now I'm going to be working on it tomorrow, only a day before it's due. How aggravating, boo.

So the picture for the day! I already posted this to deviantart, so sort of said everything I wanted to say about it, but here's my character Suka and Sarah's character Chase. In the RP we've got them in, we've got the stickiest, most drama filled soap opera going on ever.. because as soon as things start flowing smoothly we have to make it all messy and tangled to keep it interesting, or else it's boring. So.. Suka doesn't remember Chase, Chase is on a completely different continent, and... It's a little hard to keep straight in my head.

Anyways, I drew this today in business class to prove I could. I kinda miss the extremely conflicting personalities somehow getting along smashingly and loving each other very much. Hm... there's a lot of ground to cover before these two could be reunited again, but wouldn't it be nice?

For THEM, I'm sure.

PAINTING AND SCANAPALOOZA!

Today's artwork x3 Finished sometime this morning. Our RP finally hit 500 posts, and being the huge loser nerd I am.. I had to celebrate!

I had fun with the sketching.. I don't draw Chase a lot because I have a really hard time with how bloody skinny he is xD but I think I did alright =3 If I do say so myself *coughcough*

Went back and revisited the pink for this picture, because.. Well because it HAS been her outfit design since as far back as I can remember creating her. Changed it slightly, and what's this? You can see her face =O and her arm =O and no, it's not a mistake on my part x3

Once again I made Chase too tall, even though Suka's technically an inch and a half taller than he is. I swear, I'm just gonna go back and change that to make my life easier >...>

WEE FOR PAINTERLY BACKGROUNDS! I suck >< But I don't care!!! Cause I have fun sitting there scribbling away with my tablet that refuses to listen to me.

I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING THIS WONDERFUL PERFECT SETTING BACK TO HELL 8D

cause let's face it.. when things are easy, it's way too boring. HAHA

Been scanning pages for a time yet, took a break to catch up on the RP and uh.. yeah, turn things around a bit!

I feel baaaaaaaaaaaaaad, but not bad enough to let things just.. be happy. HA, okay really I've still got like.. four chapters to scan and a post to finish.. G'DAY!

Computer Break Peoples! It's important!

IT'S SUKA AGAIN, OMG CREATIVITY FAIL

XD oh well, I'm pretty sure I said so, I am very fond of her, but reaaaaally, my sketchbook must be getting so sick of her x3

Pretty much i started doodling this when my dad hijacked E-Vain earlier to convert a bunch song files to an SD card. I redid my gaia avatar this morning because I wanted a Suka avatar FOREVER ago, and uh.. never got around to doing it. So here is what Suka looks like dressed up as my gaia avatar! The only hair on Gaia that is close enough to Suka's is way to pale :B

Anyways, WEEEEE. I'm still very happy with it, none the less, even if there isn't an ounce of creativity in drawing the same character over and over ><

And once I finish my tea, I'm going to have a shower, and them I'm going to.. Finish.. My fairytale essay I have been beating myself over the head with all day.

SO YAY SUKA AND CHASE

I miss Suka's broken English =P She hasn't had a reason to use it in God knows how many pages.
