Desperate Enough to Even Ask

If you can't tell another human about your tribulations, why not lay them before god?  Who knows, maybe they will finally realize that ruining your life wasn't in anyone's best interests? Ha!  You wish! https://youtu.be/0GtuS7y6pmE *Note, she displays dangerous levels of disrespect trashing those offerings.

I tried that.  Most pleased with the face in second panel. For some scant reference, I'm thinking about a fight that happens with team Izumi-Clayton vs Cain.  They are basically meeting him for the first time.  They have some serious baggage going into it, with Izumi murderously pissed off at Clayton, having tried to break their contract unsuccessfully when she got her feelings STABBED IN THE BACK. Cain has the singular ability to cut relationships.  And he's learned how to turn allies on each other and watch the slaughter. "It's enough that they no longer see someone as "human."" Clayton is just as stubbornly holding on as ever, but Cain just cuts Izumi's regard towards him.  She quickly starts attacking him like he's a big spider.  sticks with her repertoire up to this point, vs opening up with her full potential.  (There is also a sub text that cain is arguing that necromancy isn't immoral, it is right in line with human nature.  Wholes...

Late night drawing

Ya stuff. Then I kept drawing by accident.  "Just get her sliding into the seat," she said.  "We can go to bed after that." A little chose up to help with reading.

Editing dialogue after drawing a picture is not so bad

Do I have before photos?  NO!  I was unhappy with it, WHY would I take a  photo? Anyway, this is mostly to share with sis. I am frustrated that so far all I've really drawn is talking.  Or worse: thinking.  BORING.  Yet obviously not to me.  But at least I realized that I can have my stupid words puttering along with the picture telling a second story. I need to get some sick outer conflict going on to spice this ish up with. And then take this OBVIOUS so-and-so-thinks this monologue and only pepper the (much more interesting) future scenes with allusions to the ideas. But this is what I have for now.  A reasonable rough draft. Oh, and I hated with a capital H the original thinking lines.  (I just drew/wrote that part, vs  the conversation, which was already typed and somewhat edited in my jotterpad app.)  So I did a complete re-haul.  Cut out a pic that didn't even fit anymore, and changed his face and hands in the ...

messy sketches!

Welcome to my brain.  Check out this sexy cover of Welcome to the Jungle. And by sexy, I mean sad and ultra creepy. I'm just gonna say that fitting 3 bodies in with some perspective made me a very happy girl. One thing led to another.  This moment's escalation will be largely scrapped in favor of an improved version. Something always comes up in the third week of a relationship. Revealed torture and enslavement of someone that's had your back for years in the face of a shared demon antagonist. Inner critic: good for a rough draft. lunge needs to be more dynamic/forced perspective. Must touch up on details and draw in more butchery. sticky notes of failed attempt of protection, fall-out.  The lower right is the most rough, but best idea. I don't always break free of the eye-to-eye Front-Side-3/4ths perspective, but when I do it's f*cking awesome. She's a'ight in a fight sometimes.  Scanned this to (eventually) fix the pelican, get ...

Mantras

I wanna die drawing. I wanna die drawing. I wanna die... If the thought's gonna be on repeat, I figured out how to make it work for me.  ^^ And I've gotten a neat idea that I decided to draw.  I think I'll always be intermittent between great-wow.  And ugghhhhhhh, this SUCKS! And with Affinity, I can clean, and edit my pics, and use layers to try and make the SUCK less horrible!  The caveat there is that I want to finagle with it too much.  let it go. So here are my pics! PS, I learned that scanning in greyscale makes MUCH less image noise.  woot for that.  Now I just have to stop drawing over written lyrics.  :P Here are some lyrics I had to erase. >.< When someone has been in a coma for years, what's their age?  Their body or their mind? Depends... Perception of the room shouldn't matter, they can't interact at all.  "That would drive my crazy." (--.--)  something is wrong with that face.  I...

Pâté

I made some that is tasty, and am proud of it.  :) Chicken livers-fresh at store.  Chicken vs cow may be important. Rinsed well. Soaked in milk from 7pm to 8 am. Rinsed well. Reduced butter, took some brown foam off the top and crumbles off the bottom. (Meanwhile reduced 2/3 c pinot gregio to half cup.) Plopped a few cloves worth of diced garlic, browned. Added liver.  Cooked till rare.  Removed liver, reduced liver liquid stuff to glorious brown stuff in butter/oil.  Removed brown stuff. Wine reduction.  Sage.  mixed, returned liver, simmered a bit.  Turn of heat.  Liquify, add rest of butter.  Salt and pepper to taste. Pour in muffin skirts, pour oil on top to seal.  Put some cute leave in it if ya got some.
