Resolutions and BSG

RESOLUTIONS AND SUCH

Well, I didn't make any resolutions for the new year (hence my 3-week tardiness in even mentioning the topic) but I was just looking at my personal website and my portfolio (if it can be called that) and I realized that I need to draw more. Not a huge revelation, mind you, but it did get me thinking about some ways to remedy this deficit.

Firstly, I'm going to start a new series of drawings based off of song lyrics that will be updated once a week. Since I love music and lyrics (not the movie, it blew!!) I figured that this will be an easy way to complete some art that inspires me. I'm also going to try to do a new Youtube video at least every other week. Those biatches take forever to compile and whatnot, but they encourage me to edit and be conscious of my process.

Once I've beefed up the old folio, I'll start taking commissions instead of random requests and even put together some promo pieces. I'm redesigning my website in flash right now, so basically shoot me in the uterus.

OMG BSG!!!

Season 4.5 came back with a bang, literally! Like, WOW! I'm not going to spoil anything, but Dualla, Kara, 5th Cylon, OH MY! *head explosion*

I'm going to miss Battlestar Galactica so much, but I'm glad they're going out on a high note and not jumping the shark like Heroes. Since the cancellation of Bionic Woman, I don't know where I'm going to get my Katee Sackhoff fix, but I'm sure she'll find something to do with her sexy ass.

So there was a daily deviation posted today of some SD avatars or some such... the artist commented on a more complete version being posted on a blog... I jump to the blog and find a time-lapse video of some work, I am impressed... At the end of the video, it recommends on of yours, so I jump to watch...

I am not ashamed to admit that I thought your voice had that telemarketer hotness to it, so I wound up checking out your gallery for about an hour tonight. Very beautiful! Much like the artist herself. :)

Keep 'em coming.

Wow, thanks very much! Telemarketer, ha! The ones with nice voices sucker me into so much stuff because I get caught up in how pleasant they sound. Sneaky bastards!

I need to update my gallery and videos desperately, but I'm stuck doing real work :/

Thanks for checking out my gallery, I really appreciate it ^_^

Hey great stuff. I watch a couple of your vids on youtube. You kept talking about these amazing brush tools you found on Deviant. Where exactly again??? I have some line work that really needs that extra something to make them stand out.
:iconc-marie:
Hi, thanks! The illustrator lineart brushes I use are from :iconjimro: and the photoshop brushes are from :iconadonihs:
