Ophelia... Freakin' Finished!
Ok, finally completed this picture. I like how it turned out, but I'm still not completely happy with how I did the shading. But I can only mess with something like this for so long until I just get tired of it. So, it's done.Woo.

A little closer to done than it was, but that's not saying much. =X

Yeargh. Still alive.
Ok, it's a new year. I haven't posted shit in ages. Why? Because ...I haven't done anything. Surprise! =D
Sad truth is, I'm still playing WoW, working full time, and doing school in my spare time as a hobby. So, between all of that, I sort of read comics, and... think about artsy stuff. That's right. I only think about it. I think "Hey, I should work on that drawing... ...Oh, wait. Nevermind. That requires me to open Photoshop... Well, WoW's open already. Guess I'll keep doing that!"
That's not EXACTLY how it goes, but it's close enough. I have worked on cleaning up the Ophelia drawing some, and I'm about... 40% done on the line work. No real ETA on that.
I wish I had more boring, less addictive hobbies. I also wish Frappuccino didn't leave some god-awful after -taste in my mouth. Seriously.
So, I'd post what I've got done just so I can show you (me--since I'm the only one reading this, and only as a proofread before posting) that I can draw lips that don't look completely wrong and horrible!
In other news, Christmas was kinda boring, but good since I did get Transformers: Animated Ultra Magnus. It's what I asked for, and it's what I got. Can't complain! However, I can complain about how bad the economic times are that random, homeless people who are probably on drugs think it's ok to hang out where I work because it's open 24/7. Let me tell you--it's fucking stressful to know someone is there for the hell of it because it's cold outside, and not because they want anything. I normally ask them to leave after a while, and they're on their way, and it's all good. But the dude I asked to leave last night was fucking out of his god damn mind. Listening to him mummble to himself when he thought no one was listening was kind of frightening--mainly because I couldn't make out what he was saying, but I'm pretty sure I heard something about cutting off arms and legs, and then some random something about a penis. All I know is, if the guy shows up again tonight, I'm calling the cops. Fucking loiterers.

Christel
\An angelic character I came up with. Still working on it. Named her Christel, obviously--by the name of this post.
Ophelia Redux
Ok, tried a different pose for Ophelia. Still working on the smile, but I think this is pretty close. Not much else to say about this. Stuff working on, though, obviously.

Ophelia - Sketch; Round 2!
Ok, so I made some changes on her. Obviously changed the arm. I think it looks much more natural than it did in the previous version. Also, I think the smirk is closer to what I was trying for.

!! What was that noise? Hm... Just a box.
No reason why I was thinking of MGS at a time like this. Anyway...
I was watching Claymore since a friend told me to watch it. Having nothing better to do 2 weeks ago, I did so. It was enjoyable, but at the same time, kinda underwhelming. After watching it, I realized there was something off cause it didn't seem finished. Sure enough, the story diverts from the manga's plot 6 episodes from the end--thus leaving lots of questions and issues open. I can handle small things not being answered, but there were major plot pieces left hanging. Totally uncool. So now I have to read the remainder of the manga. ...Well, not really. I'm not going to.
Either way, no matter how I liked or disliked parts of it, it was at least watchable. It also had some interesting characters. One is a crazy bitch named Ophelia. At first, I really really hated her chracter. But then she kind of grew on me. It was like she was so insane that I actually liked her.
This is what I came up with. Still not absolutely convinced with the crazy grin. I'm trying to draw this one to the point where I can say "THAT is Ophelia." without a doubt in my mind--instead of "This is <insert name> if you think about it." I also have a background in mind, but that's nowhere near a state that would make much sense to anyone else without distracting from Ophelia.
