Weekly Recap #1: Something New

So I've really been thinking I should have more "weekly"

posts... just so I can set little goals for myself...

so from now on I'll be attempting "Weekly Recap"

In which I share photos from the previous week.

(although I have to admit, some of these are a lie... since I didn't have a full week worth of stuff I wanted to post from last week)

10/28: Sometimes Mondays Just feel this way //  10/29: Mini-Me is editing a story

10/30: Playing Call of Cthulu by candlelight //  10/31: Proto-Pony is born!

11/1: (this one is a lie, I drew this today) but SkADaMo begins (Sketch a Day Month)

You can check out my blog http://littlebearries.blogspot.com to keep up with my SkADaMo

11/2: I took a knitting class! (yes, I suck at it) //  11/3: Proto-Pony is falling back.

And another girl in the Black Raven series is soon to be released: 

 

Amane  

 

Here is the translation Google gave me of their Amane flavor text:

Name of her dressed in costume shaman is "heaven sound (I bitch)"
She is the incarnation of the fox, those who live to protect the company law from ancient times.
Tonight nobody had kept watch over gently the city spread out below the heaven sound.
Then, master magic withdrawal of two people from entering the field of view suddenly.
Two people who came to be guided to the voice of heaven sound when singing.
World of each other cross each other,
Fate of the girls start big move! 

 

Haha! 

 

The lighter haired one is the normal version,

the darker haired girl is "DS" or direct from store only (meaning you can only buy her in Japan)

Joining in the fun in the month of November

I'm sure you've all heard of NaNoWriMo...

but have you heard of SkADaMo and PiBoIdMo?

I'll be participating in all three over on my

http://littlebearries.blogspot.com

blog (where I post crafts and such)

(don't worry, I won't be drowning you guys with this stuff...

but I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone was interested in trying it themselves!)

SkADaMo is "Sketch A Day Month" put on by Sketched Out.

No pressure, no rules (other than you should try to make a sketch a day)

and no pre-made themes. Just doodle!

You can also follow Sketched Out's blog to see what she doodles every day!

Want to join in?

Click on the "Sketched Out" link above,

or the button below to find out how:

 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Next up is PiBoIdMo,

or "Picture Book Idea Month"

hosted by Tara @ taralazar.com

Every day your task is to come up with a new picture book idea.

It doesn't have to be a full story... it can just be a title, or character name,

or anything simple that could *BE* a story someday.

Every day on Tara's blog, there will also be an awesome guest post by someone

in the Children's book/publishing industry.

How cool is that?

If you're interested in participating,

signups are open until Nov. 7th,

just click the link to Tara's blog above,

or the image below:

Finally, there is NaNoWriMo,

National Novel Writing Month.

If you're unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo,

it's a way to encourage budding (and in full bloom) writers to write,

by setting goals for the month of November.

If you're interested in joining in, click the link above,

or the image below:

 It looks like I've got a busy month ahead of me!!!

Drawings from pre-made color palettes: Cold Stare

I love Design Seeds,

everyday they come out with a new color palette...

so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing from the color palettes

during the week.

The palette I used today is Cold Stare:

http://design-seeds.com/index.php/home/entry/color-stare2

and here's the image I made:

I found this quote and wanted to save it in some way,

so I figured it would be a good candidate for the color palette illustration.

Where the other was all computer generated,

I decided this week to try a sketch.

I've been wanting to work on my drawing skills for a while,
so a daily sketch might not be too bad an idea.

The image above is a web quality png,
please feel free to use it

for web purposes,

but let me know if you do...

(just cause I'd like to see how you use it :) )

If you're interested in using this image

for a print project,

Friday Azone Update

  Time for Friday's Azone Update!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
 

  Clothes Catalog Time!!

 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

 

★ ° ·. . · ° ° ·. . ·゜☆ October/November Clothing Catalog ★ ° ·. . · ° ° ·. . ·゜☆

 

Once again, Azone has put out a clothing catalog filled with stuff I'd just love to buy.

CURSES!

 

Although I'm not entirely sure why Pico Neemos need slutty bunny outfits 0_0

 

Figma #143 Yuzuriha Inori

I'm not going to lie,

I'm in love with this character's design,

but other than that,

know absolutely nothing about

Yuzuriha Inori from Guilty Crown.

I've never seen the show, don't have a clue what it's about...

and yet, I'm repeatedly drawn to this character.

Her Pink, gradient hair, her pink/orange color scheme, her bird-like motif

she's just cute.

She makes me think of a Phoenix.

Here are her extras:

 

Does this ever happen to any of you?

Are you drawn in by a character's image,

without knowing anything about the character itself?

Time for confession #2:

This is how I buy ALL of my figma.

I see a character design that I like,

I buy it.

I have yet to buy a figma based on the fact that

I *really* love the anime it's from.

Instead, I often buy the figure,

and then seek out the anime.

This particular figma I had resisted when she was first listed.

No idea why... I think I was trying to be responsible.

But then, just the other day, I saw she was back in stock...

someone must have not paid for their order...

so I snapped her up.

I do not regret it,

she's a great figma.

Excellent posing, 

each of her skirt tails are jointed,

and she's adorable.

I'm pretty sure I'll never bother trying to watch the anime she's from...

but that's fine with me.

I enjoy imagining her as some outer space diva

(the open mouth she comes with looks like it's singing to me)

She makes me think of RahXephon (an anime I have watched, lol)...

so that's where my mind categorizes her.
