Parce que je dois parler en français. ahhh, il y a temps que je n'actualise pas ce blog.

Je suis amoureuse de ce stile ahhhhhh. Mais récemment je veux sculpter dans le bois... dommage que je n'ai pas le équipement ): Le dessin me ennuie mais... ça c'est tout ce que je peux faire...

Ce dernier-lá est pour mon amie *Vanimute. (B

j'échoue avec le français ;________; il faut pratiquer... :C

some wips

this is disgusting

i did this to test out the new quicktime's "record screen" feature. It took a lot of recompression to get it to youtube size though :C i spent all day sunday compressing it.

The youtube vid is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nh2tTqQnIg&fmt=18

Santiago de cachorro C| awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

unos zorros estúpidos que hice en la clase de japonés... quizás un día debería prestar atención, :>

no tengo la más puta idea ksaldg;hasklf

me encantan los toros bravos <3

lol, lo hice para estudiar unas frases en japonés pero... soy muy perezosa para hacer dibujos así a menudo :I

unos de los primeros conceptos de la hermana de Santiago, que asco |D

[link]

hice éstos en el reverso de mi examen francés |D me gusta como salieron el gato y el perro, aunque no usé referencia

... aun no tengo la más puta idea ksldagh;a. otro que dibuje ese día al MOA, pienso que ~deadpony dijo algo sobre "Simba con barbilla de Jay Leno". y también algunos chibis de Martine C:

leona muy asquerosa

mi abuela vive cerca de un lago-- decidí dibujar unos árboles

perro que dibuje el primer día de este semestre

unas esbozos que hice en el zoo. Tanto me gustan los glotones, tienen mucha energía

tigre con marcadores

me gusta como salió la "fursona" pero me temo que lo arruiné con el dibujo asqueroso de Santiago |[

more retarded bs

elenaaaaaaaaaaaaa C: me gusta como salió éste, voy a colorearlo C:

2009-09-27T15:05:00.000-07:00

2009-09-23T19:25:00.000-07:00

una pintura de un irbis que hice hoy, justo para no aburrirme mucho durante un reunión (tengo que asistirlos siendo "representante" del Club Francés). empezó como esbozo pero creció.. fjkd

un dibujo no acabado (no se si voy a terminarlo) de mis gatitos.. las líneas resultaron ser muy difíciles.

unos ezbozos más de mis gatitos C:

ART DUMPPPPPPPPPPPPPpppppppp

2009-08-20T12:39:00.000-07:00

Wo! I have a lot here |D I need to update this thing more.

Some sketcher doodles I did in the company of some frans. Sketcher's really fun for playing with styles, but if I'm not doing that, as evidenced by the mint chip lewp (he has a sister--neapolitan ice cream lewp, but I haven't done a good picture of her yet), my sketches turn out kind of derp.

Like this:

More lewps o.o Here's a blueberry one..!! m_m Since I've never seen a sparkledog with an afro, lol. I should probably crop this better and put it on deviantart and DLKFJ NOW THAT I'M LOOKING AT THE WHOLE THING i think the little..derp.. lewp... on the bottom there is from *VanillaKitsune :I i just

This is oooollllllllddddddddd (december 07), and not finished. She's supposed to be leaning on a table but i just hid that layer. i just found it again today and I really liked the lineart, especially around the face. I wanted to pick it up again but ugh, it was so outdated. I definitely am going to play around with this style more.

I miss playing around with my art.

Some ideas for Santiago's sister, I think I'm calling her Elena. Think I like the top ones best. Now it's a question of deciding between those two!! ghhh so difficult

And a size comparison of the two. IDK I liked the simplicity of this, even though this was purely meant as a reference and not a ~piece of art~

Picture I did to raise awareness for a homeless cat that had an infected eye and needed medical care for it. He got the operation, but now he needs a home!

Spam trade with *Emone on deviantart. C:

Something I painted on Oekaki (Chibi Painter) just for funsies n_n

This is oooooooooolddddddddddddd again, but I had the screenshot and hadn't shown it to anyone but a couple people so I thought I'd put it here.

I ate this picture. |D

Oh, this. I deleted it off of DA but peopl seemed to like it so... ok. here it is m_m I do think it's kind of hilarious, but nothing to think highly of yourself for making.

Probably the nicest/most complete thing I've done in a while, even if the face has no bones. Done in Oekaki/PaintBBS

Another Amber... it's actually a redo of this. That face is so perfectly Amber's face, but the rest of it was pretty bad, so I had to update it a little.

Genets! The first one's a sketch commission for LIKE-AH SOM BAOOOO DEEEEEEE on DA, and the second one is a picture I'm working on, that I hope one day I'll finish ;;

HNGGGGGGGGG SO MUCH ARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

GHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Moleskine Sketches

2009-04-29T18:08:00.000-07:00

some moleksine sketches

my favourites:

Animal heads

2009-04-29T04:20:00.000-07:00

beh, ho voglia di parlare italiano qui oggi... penso che scriverò come vorrei; qualche volta mi annoio con l'inglese e preferisco scrivere in italiano o spagnolo... la civetta, colorato da Kookamunga X3
coyote, fatto coi pastelli
qualcosa per la mia amica Aquanite.
Coati! :> peccato che il viso sia lo stesso di sempre...

2009-04-21T20:44:00.000-07:00

I got a new moleskine. Just the (relatively) cheap little ones that come in packs of three and have paper covers. I was pretty skeptical about it all, but now I'm hooked :x niiice paper :3

Edge-Chan's character Francesco, as a marten, for a collab :D

and just a sketch page... another picture of Francesco, but now he is a fox, like normal. Plus a copy of a photo of that civet in the smithsonian, just to practice them. I was watching Henrieke's ustream today and wanted to try something cartoony, but I'm so bad at it. Also a frrt.

Some people have rage. Sketch for a collab with Kookamunga. I can't ever find a good pic of civet paws, so I'm just GUESSING that the front paws are laid out like a marten's paws with the "thumb" digit placed like another toe digit, not a dewclaw, and the back feet with four digits. BUT i don't know. 8(

2009-04-18T08:49:00.000-07:00

Quick drawing of my cat Gaetana done this morning :3 Life drawing.. she held this position for a while but I ran out of luck and she started moving

I don't really think it needed more, but I wanted to do something with colours that don't really go together. I don't know if it worked, but here it is anyway.

2009-04-02T01:59:00.000-07:00

just a few things i've done recently. or a bunch, i guess.

so nice to draw on paper again!

my favourite :>

and some commissioned LJ icons:

Beech Marten

2009-02-28T09:36:00.000-08:00

SAI paint tool.

Mostly old stuff

2009-02-25T01:21:00.000-08:00

Sono stata proprio cattiva. ):

I need to update this thing more, but my scanner died, and I just plain haven't been drawing as much lately. Hopefully I can change that. :I

Silly picture inspired by a dream about a dog and a sandwich (canino e panino, actually). My mind gets poetic at night sometimes. Rarely, and never not-cheesy, but... sometimes. Maybe one day I'll finish it but... who am I fooling, it'll probably never happen :'D

Just stuff I've already uploaded to dA. Only my favourites

Random crap I've only posted on facebook. I miss drawing martens :<

Honestly?? I haven't updated since I got my macbook? Sad story, man.

Unfinished maned wolf concept that I never finished and kind of don't like but. At least it was something new!

Never uploaded out of guilt but... random oekaki for my friend Aquanite. So addictive to draw.
Liiiines are inspired Lynn, one of my favourite artists. :>

eujajajaja.

Some real media stuff, the first two for my college drawing class a year ago, and the last was for my HS painting class. After my scanner died so, ignore the bad photography please?

Someday I'd like to finish these:

2008-04-19T12:35:00.000-07:00

Work in progress, :D Martin is giving Sergio a dead bloody rabbit. Because you know that is the best way to say "i wuvs u" :| And he's all "lol, k, I just woke up." Wanting to make this look cel-ish. As usual. x)

yes, it says butt up there. It was the light direction, but it was pointing at his butt, so.

I stole a bunch of those little papers at the library for writing call numbers on 'cause I ran out of paper at home, and drew this on one. XD

Older thing I drew on my newsprint pad one day before class started. Pine marten. An androgynous pine marten, XD

I had forgotten about this guy. His name is Akaa, and I dreamed him up. I don't remember what the story was, though. :\

Crappy picture of him older.

Martens doodle. I really only like the finished face, x)

Aand, some study-doodles from one of the marten movies I downloaded from Youtube. I like some of these.

2008-03-22T13:31:00.000-07:00

A baby civet design thing. :D I think she's cute.

And yes, I want to write a child for books. I said that to myself. In Spanish. :) :) :)

Borzoi design that I really like, and some golden retrievers. Copics ftw. Too bad they are dying. :|

I really liked this lioness head, so I coloured her. Yay for breaking out of Lion King silliness.

A BEAR. And Martine, and a dalmatian without spots, because I am lazy. :)

Some more borzoi, a boot, and some chick. :B I felt like drawing a spoiled but pissed-off Pomeranian, because I think many of them must feel that way.

Laniiii! I've been drawing her again lately-- I've missed it. She's a fun character. The first ones are her at 15 or 16. The others are concepts for little kid!Lani and then Middle School Lani.
I feel like Life Drawing class is helping a bit.

Martine character sheets. One in English, the other in Spanish, just for the hell of it. C:

And then some for Sergio. Her ~*~boyfriend~*~
his name is also subject to change.

2008-02-10T10:44:00.000-08:00

OH NO I HAS MORE. Some Gaetana gesture stuff here. I've decided she's the best cat to do gesture from in my house, because she actually does things sometimes (unlike Marigold) and when she does, she's not all in your face to the point where you can't draw (Like Freyja)

Some wolfs (YES WOLFS i spk englesh good) that I never finished.

Martens. Beech marten and pine marten and omg I love drawing martens lately.

And I wanted to draw something cute. Not necessarily for valentine's day. It just turned out that way.

I liked the female's design, and it occurred to me that my middle name, Martine, would be a good name for a marten. :| So here you go. I was going to turn it into a character sheet but I ran out of time before we HAD TO GO TO THE LIBRARY and might just end up doing one in Photoshop instead. If that's even necessary. Character designs! That I actually like! Trying to design some lions that didn't have ridiculous amounts of TLK influence. I wonder if it worked. Also a civet and an update of the ugly hyena that I posted in my first post here.

Yes I am still writing my crazy little notes in Spanish. And Italian too, but more Spanish lately.

Civets.

I don't actually like this. Melissa Etheridge lyrics on the side-- I've broken my ban on music in English. XDFor life drawing. We went to the MIA (minneapolis institute of Arts) and drew the doryphoros we have here. He is not in good shape. :|||

Doryphoros from above, with some Gaetana gesture I did later.
Marten . I really struggle with back legs, especially from the rear view. >( also more work on that "cat people" concept. I kind of like how that one turned out.
Sketches copied from photos of martens to try and work out their face shape, which I have to say is a little tough.MARTENS AGAIN WTF I AM ADDICTED?!~
Also experimentation with anthro canine-me. IDK at this point.
Alex. Is singing Evita. In Spanish. XD Because he is just out of control.

~NO LLORES POR MI ARGENTINA~
As a nerd I find it hilarious that the song is so obviously in European Spanish... even though... the story is in Argentina. :|

A lion and a civet. One of the older ones that I couldn't really upload before. I was watching TLK in Spanish and taking notes on certain phrases that struck me. As potentially useful and stuff. Which is what that's about, if you're curious.
An otter, an ugly something (I honestly don't know), a cat, and a ferret. :D I do like the otter.
LIONBOY! Is a great series of books. Read them, seriously. They're just clever. And the blocks of Italian in the second book don't hurt either.

Sergio and Primo. Sergio is awesome. >]
Yeah, no. I actually don't like weasels whatsoever. Nope. Nor civets.

Attempting more character design. I really, really like the ermine's design. It's just so FUN and outside of my Disney-realistic comfort zone.

And this guy, that I wanted to upload but didn't get to. Who looks like Scar and that needs to change. I like the idea for his design but I need to figure out how to draw a pointy effeminate cat-guy that doesn't look like Scar.

2008-01-27T10:46:00.000-08:00

I was playing Pokemon Diamond for a while (which I'm currently actually pretty bored of after having "finished" the game twice and no really convenient wireless access) and I was all "Pixel art~!" and I wanted to do some. Starting with viverridae. This genet took way too long. He's in PNG because I wanted to add whiskers and leaving them solid white would make them look to thick, so I had to fade them and PNG is the only thing I can do that with while still keeping the transparency :x Does internet explorer support that yet?

African civet WIP. C: These really do take a long time. :|

Concepts for a ~magical~ cat guy among my other cat guys. XD If you remember these guys, that's what I'm talking about. I like the top left design but I cannot redraw it for beans. :| And god, if I'm going to do a character design I should be able to, you know, draw it again. I had another picture of him, but I'm broke, cannot afford a Flash drive, and have to use lame disks (yes, floppy disks. So 90's) which corrupted the file. >|

And I don't know what this one is all about. It sucks, that's one thing. I'm really hoping Life Drawing will benefit me, but I'm afraid I'll end up doing all the studies the wrong way and it won't improve my drawing process or something. :|

Beech martens, I've discovered, are the awesome. >) My cat actually reminds me a bit of one. She has a diamond on her chest. Not really an arrow type thing but still, it's similar.

Also sometimes I draw things in really weird ways. :|
Old Lost fan art. Very old, like last summer or something.

Don't judge me. :(

I was drawing and this guy in my class walked up to me and started saying things about fuzzy animals :D
Kizame ballpoint stuff and some emo. I actually don't think I was feeling emo, even. I haven't for a while now. I think it was just character-based.

Not that she's very mopey. She really doesn't show that very much.

Randomness. These are all actually from different papers. I wanted to make something Epic out of the fox, but I thought better of it.

Civets, one of them succeeding at looking very Bluthy. Also a Nala and a pig.
Yes, I've gotten into the habit of giving my files names in Spanish and Italian somtimes.

Sketchdump 12-01 part 2

2008-01-12T13:30:00.000-08:00

This is old. With Caleb being all depressed and unshaven. And some ugly Aimee heads, accompanied by another ugly cat.

Stuff. Me trying to branch out. I really like the last two pages, especially the borzoi and the hyena. The ugly hyena, I mean. He's ugly, but I intended him to be, so it's okay. Also the ferret that I started to colour. I might finish it. Also the Zorro thing is cheesy and it's probably been done over 9000 times, but I was bored. x)

Warrior cats fanart, obviously. I was going to do more, but then I got bored of it.

. . . End! finally. XD Hopefully I can keep up with scanning them so there won't be huge dumps like this so much. :B

Sketchdump >D

2008-01-12T12:48:00.000-08:00

I have a lot this time xD

Mis gatas. :3 The one with the butt and the one standing is Freyja, Marigold's the sleeping one in the first image, and I think the last one is all Gaetana except for the cranky sitting one which would be Marigold. These are pretty old . . . all life drawings. D:

Next ... Some Kizame stuff. Last two are images I used to do a shirt design, first one is some diagrams of Kizame. Like her size (she's standing next to a very half-assed Caleb :D ), wingspan. Junk. Plus a cat-- me failing at life drawing some more.

I'm a nerd. I tend to write random little notes on my art (like "TERRIBLE" "UGLY", things like that XD), and lately I've been writing them in Spanish and Italian. Just for more practise. :|

Trying to do some character design. È il cagnolino della mia amica. x)

. . . "¿Qué hora es?" is so incredibly lulzy and I wish it were a real show. xD If you don't know, and you might not, it's from Cedric the Entertainer's show . . . it's the telenovela for people who only took 3 weeks of Spanish in the fourth grade, and it inspired me. :|

The phrase "I smell pencils" just popped into my head . . . random nonsense does, sometimes, and I was all "WTF am I on" D: You see, it usually happens when I'm half asleep ("I'd like to buy 16 Orpheums, please"), but I was awake, so I was confused.

Moar. Some concept sketches for that northern species I had (aka Svalbardian Lynx), some ferret study things, and some dogs copied from photos. With a random woman's head, I have no idea where she came from 8D

Some sketches of ~*the gang*~

You can see my nerdiness showing through again on the Alex model-type thing, and Cameo looks constipated. I really like the one of Amber though (second file, on the bottom). Third one is Aimee heckling Alex, like always, and he's all . . . I don't know, actually. His pose was in my head, it seems familiar, but I don't remember where I might have seen it before, and you can't copyright a pose anyway, so don't eat me.

I think the last one is cute . . . I do want to colour it. I was probably listening to "Un amico è così" by Laura Pausini or something, but I don't know. XD

Um . . . and I think I'll end this one here and just start a new post, just because I am getting

REALLY

TIRED

of dragging these pictures to the bottom of the posts D: Remind me to do it in reverse next time I have a huge dump like this. >:[

First post . . .

2008-01-02T17:27:00.001-08:00

Trying this out.

I've decided I'm gonna try to draw less canines and felines because that's

all

I ever

do

except for the occasional human.

So here's a civet.

And then this older thing. Kizame "chibi" type thing that I think I was going to put on . . . a T-shirt or something, but then I became broke.

That is all because I am at a different library and don't feel like searching for the scanners. And I also have no sketches with me anyway. 8|
