transfigured

Le sigh.

I’ve made a lot of empty promises in regards to this mostly defunct blog, but for some reason posting to it gives me some feeling of satisfaction. Perhaps an existential crisis with minimal efforts to help alleviate it? I DON’T KNOW, but damnit to all hell on earth, I’ll keep this blog alive until the day I DIE!

…watch me die tomorrow and that’ll be that :D

Now down to the nitty gritty.

It just takes me SO long to paint/draw anything nowadays due to my addiction to gaming and my favorite past time–sleeping. The Nintendo Switch 2 dug its claws into me for a few months; I’m looking at you Dredge, No Man’s Sky, AND Donkey Kong Bananza. Then for some reason, I pulled out the PS Vita and I’m now obsessed with Muramasa Rebirth.

Look at it! This game is SO good, and it’s a shame they don’t have any plans to bring it to modern consoles with higher resolutions (quick Google search annnnd nope, no news). Any and EVERY Vanillaware game needs to be updated to be at least 4K resolution. I mean c’mon, Unicorn Overlord is a shoo-in for a Switch 2 update, but no news as of right now. The disappointment is unreal…so sad.

In other news…

I currently have a few works in progress; a few of them are still in inking mode (or hell, inking is complete, but I have to lay some colors down). >.>;; But if there’s any silver lining to this post, here’s a screenshot of what I’m currently painting :D

Then there are paintings I’ve completed, but I haven’t posted them anywhere. Some of them just need some time to marinate and cook so that I can look at them in a different perspective. Maybe I’ll get around to polishing them for a good post…maybe…

Crisis averted.

I finished this drawing a while back, and I’m not quite sure why I didn’t post it here. I posted it on Instagram, but damnit (!!!) I’m STILL trying to get my life together. Excuses, excuses per usual, but I think I might move up to FOUR posts annually without breaking a sweat.

Here’s my OC Jin. He’s one of many without much of a backstory, but he does have some minor details I thought about whilst drawing/painting him. He hails from a border area/desert area and he’s rather wild/active…and that’s all I got. He’s also part of my series of sexy guys with fruit colored hair :D

Yep, that’s it. I’ve decided to draw and color a series of guys with candy colored hair because there are too many candy colored women all over the place. I want candy coated -ahem- colored men, damnit! I get it that his hair isn’t as bright as a green M&M, but I think it suits him fine :)

I will probably draw/color more now because my favorite show of 2018/2019 “The Story of Ming Lan” is over with ;_; Feng Shaofeng and Zhao Yi Ling are SO CUTE together on screen and I adore them as a couple. I especially love Feng Shaofeng as Gu Ting Ye; I mean, he’s the perfect man – powerful, funny, honorable, detailed in all things (especially with his wife) and just….damn, he is just manly. Le sigh.

Just look at the way he sweeps his hands over her arms and pulls her close; so gentle and meticulous -swooooon- SO SWEET! The show ended last week at 73 episodes so maybe in a few more weeks I’ll start a binge watching session.

Just finished this profile of another miscellaneous guy, and surprise surprise I’m all about schmexy anime guys. Although this particular image was drawn just so I can practice painting in Procreate on an iPad Pro (1st gen…which is, surprisingly, still quick on the go with minimal hiccups), I decided to post it because it turned out…okay. I just need to work on it being more “painterly.”

Hello 2018! This website is probably ten years old and hasn’t received an update for just about that long. Sad, I know. But the good news is that I’m finished with school, probably won’t have to study for the next five years or so, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is such an amazing show. What does that mean though? I have a lot more time on my hands to draw, read, game, and to nerd out completely. It’s the year for the newness to begin…or something like that?

Enjoy!
