Week Forty Four, Day Four

ooh here's a spooky pumpkin!

oOOoooOOoOO0oohhhh

novel: aaa NaNo starts at midnight omg.

Week Forty Three, Day Three

Bamboo paper and typing tests.

novel: AHFDJASKLFDJSK LJFDKLASJFLKDS MY NOVL. FDJklaFJDKSLEAAAAAA. I've concluded that there is no way I will finish it tomorrow unless I drop my life and not sleep until november 1st, which is not going to happen. So Instead I've decided that I will work on them both in tandem (write the requisite 1,667 words for Novel #2 then jump over and work on Novel number 1 for the rest of the day or whatever it takes until I finish it. Hopefully once NaNo proper starts my plot points per day will rapidly increase.

Week Forty Four, Day Two

All kinds of things for you today.

some really great perspective issues going on here.

Also, please enjoy my super dumb animation midterm that I didn't even know was due today until last night right as I was falling asleep.

this was my favourite page

novel: SEVENTY THOUSAND WORDS and two days to finish the thing aaaaa

Week Forty Three, Day Seven

some weird face or something whatever.

that's one thick neck.

novel: a little bit of progress. I don't think I'm going to finish it before NaNo starts though, so I'm not sure how that'll work out.

Week Forty Three, Day Six

If you think boobs are evil and the human body is inherently pornographic, then scroll fast. guppy.

if you think poorly drawn human bodies are inherently evil though, well, I can't rebutt that.

novel: progress!

Week Forty Three, Day Five

Nose study!

Novel: Slightly working on it. Tonight's goal is to be either working on novel or studying for my logic test tomorrow (it's not going well I'm probably going to fail dangit)

Week Forty Three, Day Four

The haannnndddd. Originally this was for a typography homework but then it turns out I have to make a pattern from characters, not a drawing so much. I'm way bummed about it because this looks way cool, but here you go

novel: ahfkdlasjfkldsjafoidsauriewl ahhhh


UPDATE: here are my official junky junks for this project

I'll be honest. Those cobwebs nearly murdered me.

Black is traditional of course, but if you'd prefer pink, or vermilion, or chartreuse, well you might make me jealous

Week Forty Three, Day Three

Third World Cinema!

novel: cool junk or whatever

Week Forty Three, Day Two

I don't know what's happening here, but I swear BYU has only like three electives and they are all really dumb and only count for like .5 credit hours. fml [flibbertygibbet my life, obviously].

my life right here.

Novel: My protagonist FINALLY met her flippin' love interest

Week Forty Three, Day One

charch doddles.

novle: warst arvar

novel: general swear words

Week Forty Two, Day Six

A Elbereth! Gilthoniël!

novel: I did work a little bit on it. but now all I want to do is attempt to watch RuPaul's Drag Race (I say attempt because my internet is muy slow)

Week Forty Two, Day Five

Much like the rest of my life, I don't know what's going on here, but I like it.

novel:hfdksajfsaodiujewkl ugh

Week Forty Two, Day Four

I always love a good jaunty angle face.

novel: who cares I GOT INTO BYU!!!

Week Forty Two, Day Three

Ok today in film class I doodled a bunch of hypothetical letterforms for a display typeface I like to call "small face" for absolutely no good reason and my 87% erroneous description would be "a modernist blackletter" (see it's modernist because of the extreme stroke contrast though I do sort of an oldstyle thing on the bracketing for some of the letterforms so really that's an innacurate description. Secondly, I call it blackletter because I would be using it at the... drop cap for novels or something like at the beginning of the chapter and I feel like blackletter typefaces are used these days for either heavy metal bands or drop caps. And also because Blackletter tends to be very decorative in appeareance and that's what this is). Anyway, my theoretical reason for developing this typeface is that I would use it for the drop caps at the beginning of each chapter. I have this whole fantasy that when I get the story into a form where it's actually good to read and stuff like that, I'd like to make my own book from scratch for it. Like make the paper myself and typeset everything myself and do the pages by myself and have super gorgeous carpet pages at the beginning of each chapter and illustrations everywhere AND FOOTNOTES and page numbers that are awesome and use the golden ratio of page design that Tschichold was an advocate of. All of this was only fueled today when in typography and book design we spent the whole time looking at all these awesome art books being sold by Vamp & Tramp. This is probably the longest paragraph I've written for this site since I gave up on writing short stories

some of them look better than others. also my actual notes arrrre pretty quality if you want to try to read them

novel: uhhhhh

Week Forty Two, Day Two

a very very very crude mockup for my NaNo cover. it's a really weird aspect ratio to work with idek. I will definitely continue to work with it.

novel: I decided today that I was going to try to just get my character where she needed to be before the day ended and stuff like that but at this rate... ugh.

Week Forty Two, Day One

only ten more weeks! dang sonnnn. Ok today I copied some stuff from Andrew Loomis' Figure Drawing for all it's Worth and I would've done more if my evening hadn't been swallowed up by logic homework that murdered me.

some serious leg struggles

not bad, except for all the things about it that are bad

I was going to do more pretty photoshop drawings but it didn't happen. also this face is hilarious

Novel: a little progress but not enough

Week Forty One, Day Seven

thus concludes my week of solely dinking around in Bamboo Paint.

I don't know why this happened.

novel: actually a bit of progress or something I guess.

Week Forty One, Day Six

yesterday didn't happen. oops.

rainbow mohawk third eye chakra rainbow party???

novel: oh you know
