for a minute there i lost myself.

so right now i'm working on a very introspective assignment for class (it's not going well, but thats not the point.) whenever i have to do stuff like this i break out the Radiohead, mostly because Thom Yorke is the King of Introspect. I've been a fan of their music for a long time and while i was thinking about it, i figured i'd share a great song by them that has a fantastic music video, possibly one of my favorites ever.

Two sketches done for drawing II class, inspired by the song "January Hymn" by the Decemberists. Going to be making plexiglass etchings out of these, should be interesting.

I've been working in the darkroom a lot lately. Developing a lot of film. Making a lot of prints. And doing a lot of thinking.

So I inked them, and in a timely fashion as well! Shocking.

...and I cheated on her hands. I'm ashamed.And I have decided to name the dog Dan. I think it suits him.Unfortunately I didn't draw them on watercolor paper, so I don't know how I'm going to color them. D:

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while...I haven't really had much time to work on art with school and work. I went through a really rough couple of weeks because of an issue at work (among other things), and it was so mentally and physically draining and left me in such a state of disgusting depression, that any free time I did have was spent in bed, eating goldfish crackers and watching episodes of Bebop and an assortment of bad movies. I really just didn't have the energy to do anything productive and/or creative. Now that I've dug myself out of that emotional hellhole somewhat, I've started working on some character sketches.

This is Haleigh, a character I came up with a few years ago. There's not much to her, I still have a lot of back story and personality to flesh out. I haven't really thought about her much until recently, so I thought sketching her would be a good start to get back into the idea she is the focal point of. I'm planning on inking this once I fix her feet and hands (they're terrible.) Her story is set mostly in the 90's, hence the attire. haha.
And she also has a dog. He doesn't have a name yet, but he is a senior citizen and very dignified.
I want to ink these hopefully soon and get to work on some more drawings of them, other character designs and maybe some stuff with the story.
