Ashley Reference

This is what happens when you don't have a drafting table... The legs become WAY to short.

Well anyway, a lot of people on dA have been asking me to draw up a full-body shot of myself to have for reference for the contest. So, well, here it is! XD

SD1: Benjamin Franklin

WUT.

Ok, there is an explanation to this I swear.

I am going to be starting this new series: School Days. You see, for the past year, I have kept a quote a book to keep all the funny inside jokes in between me and my friends. It was at 3:00 this morning that I got the brilliant idea to make a series out of them. Now, keeping in mind that some might not appear funny considering they are inside jokes, I will alter and tweak them a little so the average joe will be able to enjoy reading them.

This one, however.

I was in english class with Amanda ( ) and while we were getting ready to write our Do Nows, I continued with my regular routine and asked her the date like I always do. She must have zoned out or something because she responded with: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN!
God... sometimes I just... I just don't know. XD

But I assure you there are tons and tons and funny little things like this in my notebook I'm just dying to share with you. (Most of them star Amanda and I but hey)

CONTEST

This is a little contest I'm having for my watchers on deviantART.

First off, it's not technically a contest. I HATE the idea of choosing who is best at something because there is no such as thing as being better or best in art.

All they have to do is draw me. Thats it! Whats the reward you ask? Every single person that enters will have their entry posted in a huge montage of them all to be uploaded and submitted to several clubs in order to get recognized.

Never Look Back

Man, I haven't drawn these two in a LONG time.

Writing my college essay this weekend really made me realize how much of an impact FMA has had in my life. My hopes, my dreams, and my happiness really all started with me picking up the first volume at Barnes and Noble. Because I just recently realized this, I had a chance to really reflect on 108 and the fact that the series has come to an end... for good.

FMA helped me so much throughout my life. It helped me get away from my own life when I needed it the most, if gave me a dream for the future, and it even helped me make my first friend. I guess you can say that now that FMA has ended, so has a chapter of my life. In a year I am going to be ready to spread my wings and go off to college. As much as it pains me to say it, I don't need FMA any longer. (That doesn't mean I won't buy the new shirts and DVDs and watch it over and over however.) I'm just simply saying that it is no longer needed to keep me going.

I want to thank FMA for always being there for me when I felt lost, for being there during my struggle to become a better artist, for being there when I realized what I wanted to do with my life.

Thank you, Fullmetal Alchemist. Your adventure and your journey have inspired me to keep going.

Never look back.
Always move forward.
Never give up.

Tale as Old as Time

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.
Ok... there is an explaination... BLAME

Well, back in May, we both had Chinese class together... We were having a little DarrenxCrepsley discussion and what disney movies Darren and Crepsley could possible fit into.

, the evil genius over here said: "OMG BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!"

2 days ago I had this craving to draw a dress and this image just HAD to pop in my head. And it just wouldn't get out! So i kinda had to draw it before I drove myself crazy. <.<>

ID: Graphic

I can't tell you guys how relieved I am to actually be drawing something that is NOT for my AP class @_@.

In all honesty, this was completely unplanned. I was just sketching and fooling around with some new styles when I drew something I liked enough to outline. (Note, the only thing I had on me was a thin sharpie so the inking on this piece sucks <.< style="background-image: initial !important; background-attachment: initial !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-color: transparent !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important; ">
I really like this style. I think I'm going to stick with it. Well, the drawing style at least. The coloring style was actually picked up from several american comics I've been reading lately @_@.

But yeah, new ID XP

Playing Hard to Get

Hey guess what!

I has a CDF pic with no spoilers! First time for everything!

PFT. ANYWAY.

Can anyone but me see Larten chasing after Arra like a puppy when he was first trying to get her to commit to him? XDDDD

Meh, I don't know what really sparked this idea. I wanted to do a CrepsleyxArra pic for a while now but I didn't want to do anything mussy. It just doesn't portray their relationship well. IDK. XD I've just always seen Arra the one who wore the pants in the relationship. XDDDDD
