I'm alive

I decided to draw today, and man, what a feeling! I felt alive today! This is surely my thing, to draw! I realized it was my fault; I needed to stop blaming my current job and what have you. It was my fault and only my fault.

The first drawings are basically copied from books. I wanted to give faces to the dynamic guys to make it funnier. The animals are from a zoo trip I went to like months ago with Collin and Trent and I owed them. I was more concentrated in movement rather than in rendering. I thought that if I wanted a nice animal rendering I just googled it.

Saint!!!

Yes, another doll post! Mind you!

But this one's special! I've been wanting a Dollshe Saint for nearly a year and for reason A and B I couldn't have one until now! He came yesterday after waiting for three weeks since I've ordered him (woa, now THAT is a record).

I love him SOO MUCH, this is NOT normal. I loved him even with his blank face (despite everyone calling him sick or dead). And today I've painted his face and... Oh... The connection was magical. So here he is, my wonderful Saint! I've ordered the closed eyes version, so I still have one face waiting for the face-up! I have no name for him yet, but I'm between Morten and Marcello (thansk mom!). Can you believe that's the box I've got from the mailman? Why is it so big?!

Haha, the taller, the harder they are to stand up. I don't know why I get in love with tall dolls. I'm loving his excess of joints!!


Of course, the comparison picture!


And the face-up I've just painted today =_=U





Beside my doll fandom, nothing much's happened. I keep on painting BGs for Benjamin Bear Season 4, and I've been refining my "cheating" techniques in order to get to deadlines X__x And yeah, that's it u.u I wanna draw

Trying something new...

... With my cheap camera. I always thought the "manual focus" thing was worthless ('cuz I didn't know what it was or how it worked). I needed to create the Bokeh effect without using Photoshop and the Macro function >.< So yah, I had to document myself about technical stuff that I can't quite understand yet xD Anyway, my first experiments! Which is your fav one?

Celestina

So I was keeping this wintery head, and he/she needed a body. Chiqui liked it and we decided he/she looked like a she. After some research I chose a B&G body that arrived just today! And despite the resin match looks quite bad in the pictures, it's not like that at all in real life.
She is my sister's first BJD, and the first hybrid in the family xD I did the face-up and chiqui chose the outfit and general appereance. I love size comparison shots so I leave you with these ones!






I think Loren's gonna turn hetero now.
