then sunday morning i'm regretting it all.


New layout, again. Let's see how this one works out. o_o Anyways. Here on my left is a sketch and a short description of a character named Aline- the common-sense-infested fashionista, a good friend of Cassie's (who's the woman Vlad cheats on Ria with, for those of you who know). She's got this thing about thinking that Ria may actually be alive, so she's pretty wary of letting Cassie do inaproppriate things. :< What a good friend!

And funny at the same time. She'll be great.




IIIIN THE BLUE CORNER... we have Ria as a child. : > She'ssocute.

Alrighti'mdone. 8D

if sunday morning i'm forgetting to call,

I'm one of those people who, if inspired, have to draw right away, no matter the circumstances. So today, Jenna got my kiriban for 3,344 pageviews. She requested a doodle of my Gale and her Piper together, because simply, Piper scares Gale witless and she thinks of him as her best friend. Piper is a dijinni, and Gale is human. Piper eats humane essence. You get the drift.

Next up, a concept that's come back to haunt me from its grave. A long, long time ago, Jordyn and I were discussing the circumstances of Vlad and Ria meeting if they met in our world, in some point in history. We sort of decided that, if anything, they'd meet during WWII with Ria being some English nurse held hostage (for some reason) (it's so historically incorrect, Ryan and McLoughlin should slap me) by some Nazis, where Vlad is with his smexy accent and all. So they'd end up snogging in broom closets once Ria stopped being a feisty littly bitch. 8DD They allll give in to Vlad's charm at some point. /shot

Of course, here are some more or less accurate doodles. If you can't read the captions, the top one says, "Mainly in broom closets..." and the bottom says, "EH? You want to do WHAT?"

Or something along those lines. I can't be bothered to double check. D:

Harhar. >_> It's so bad that I wanna laugh at it.

I want Nazi!Vlad drawings now. >0

all i've got is what you didn't take.

Welcome to the 50th klutz kronikles blog post! That's 50 entries of useless sketches, unfinished works, concepts, and random life news of the Leyla. Today I have only one work to feature, because I said I was going to draw something (less) crappy for the anniversary entry (because I keep track of that stuff). Here is the inked sketch, inked with a blue Pilot pen, of Ria and Ziegte, drawn during Sarah's choir rehearsal to some gorgeous song I can't seem to find.

Note to self: Find song.

Here on the right we have this same inked sketch with color on it. Ziegte's blood was somuchfun, if that thing even bleeds anyways. The greatest thing was that the base color for Zieg was white, shaded with blues and purples. I love how disproportional its arms are. :'DD Ria's hands are like claws, and Jenna pointed out how she looks like she's all, "CAN'T TOUCH THIS." I agree.

The final version, here on my left, is... finished. There's a color filter and Ziegte looks creepy as all hell implies, which is A-OK! Because Zieg IS creepy! If I ever find that song I sketched this with, I'll definitely link it. Itwassodramatic. And... goodness. Ziegte's arm. WHY ARE YOU SO LONG, NOODLE ARM? And Ria's bottom half is loldisproportional. Oh well. : >

HAPPY TALK LIKE A PIRATE / 50th ANNIVERSARY DAY!
Badumbadum PISH.

i know the secrets that you keep, i know where you sleep.

Hello one and all and welcome to the 49th entry to the klutz kronikles. I assure you that the 50th will be celebratory, and without crap art!

Now, here on the left (this new formatting is an attempt to stop making my entries so freakin' long-looking) is something I doodled in lunch while ignoring James and talking to Jarret about some random stuff, and listening to Emily and telling Laura to stop slapping the table. I decided she'll be some sort of jester thing, but Iduno. I still have lots of time to decide!

Now, what I've actually had time to get adjusted and get some doodlin' time in class, I've been drawing several pages' worth of RiaRiaRia. She's been swimming in my mind, and since Jordyn and were planning to possibly edit the entire story, I wanted to give her younger self a slight revamp. That's for later, though. This is something cheesy I decided to doodle, because flowing leaves/flower petals seemed superfun to do at the time. And she's wearing a skirt. That'sjustweird.

Here we have something I totally FAIL at drawing - pregnant women! ;D Yousee, Zieg's gonna leave her alone when Vlad does and hit her hard after her kidsies are born. So she looks relatively healthy here, right? Right. Not for long~ ;DD

And finally, we have the last sketch in the series. This was the doodlebit I did of younger, 16-year-old Ria. I hate it. I don't like it at -all-. Why am I even scanning it? Iduno. My character design here is totally flawed. I have to go back to making her look punky with a bad haircut, 's how I'm used to seeing her when she was younger. ._. Ohboyohboy. She'ssogorgeous.

And Cassie commented on my way of drawing curly hair today. She 'wtf'd a little, even. ;DD

where you got what you wanted and ruined it all!

First and foremost, I would like to wish a happy (belated!) 17th birthday to Joe! I realize I promised him arts, but I just haven't had time. D: So here are the doodles I actually DID come up with! Grief, Kitty!Joe, and Irwin for you.
GodIswearI'lldosomethingbetterlater.
This next piece is actually something I've been doing in Art 1 as of late, our beginning project! Blind contours~ (although I did peek on some of these). I basically contorted my hand into a bunch of poses and did... this. Two-page spread fo you. Really, not that thrilling.
Also something I did in Art 1 (and some other classes...) after I was done doing contour Pepsi cans. Demented animals! There's a dragonfly, a ladybug, a flower, and my favorite one of them all, a fish with an impossibly long tail. I might even color it.
Yes, I know fish don't make noise. So it said, "CHEE!" Sue me.Next up are my Darkheart doodles, as per always. Ziegte, the genderless illness (I did a test on my lunch table, and most guessed either male or couldn't guess at all!) is really an illness to me, too. It's been showing up... almost everywhere now. D: Which is scary.
This one's a concept I'd like to flesh out. Ria and Ziegte with a shared speech balloon, "I speak through you." It's crap, but most of my concepts are. ;D

I just liked how this came out. Except for her scalp being too tall (that's something I tend to do in my doodles), I think I near nailed how Ria's supposed to look. o_o
Say hello to my new journal footer! ;D Will be finished soon.Not much of a story behind this one. I was done with a German quiz and decided to doodle on the back of my paper. Second time I handed in something to Mr. Murphy with Ria drawn on it. I happened to particularly like this.Iduno. Ria again. >_> What a great thing to leave off with.

i know the bed and the room and the wall and the house,


I'm starting off the entry with two sketches of Roche! The first, a close-up headshot that I will color... sometime tomorrow (Since I have just been shooed off to bed by my father, despite the fact that I know what I'm doing right now. Funny thing is, every time he tells me how long I'll be asleep for tonight, it shrinks down by an hour... "Five and a half!" "Four and a half!" It's like, only midnight, yanno? Six hours of sleep, ahoy! Not my fault people fail at helping me manage my timetable.) OH. And, see? NO FEET. She walks on -cones-. 8D Toocool. (You know I had to.)
I wanted to practice that weird semi-realism crap I've been into lately, and drew my Gaia avi as practice. Say hello! I feel as if her lips are way too small. >> I did attempt Ria, but my pencil is too faint. D: These images have already undergone heavy manipulation so that my cheap pencils, you know, show through. *has to buy new ones tomorrow* I think I'm doing alright. :

What's this about? Bleach1114 and lotte pepero have won the first round of my Gaian model search. I'll be drawing them full-bodies sometime this and/or next week, and I'm mildly thrilled to have some... recent art shop examples. Jordyn, I might feel like stopping the model search where it is and just drawing Darkheart people for the rest of the examples. Vlad/Ria as couple shot example, eh, eh? And I promised Joe/Tsukiyohei some boyxboy of his avi and that prince thing next to him. :'D
I just wanna draw lotte's suspenders, honestly. *has such a cool pose thought up*

Oh, I'm prolly not gonna get to tell you this tomorrow, Jordyn, but... I might draw something to appease my inner weaboo later, and you won't get to see it till it's done. It may burn your retinas, I warn you. >>

A cool dance.

NEWFAVEHUSHSOUNDSONG.
The Boys Are Too Refined.

i know each trick you played, whore you laid, dream you stole.

Souhm, there was this photo on deviantART. Whisper by girltripped, that I thought was -phenomenal-. So, being me, I printed it, traced it, and colored it with some basic colors 'cause I wanted to get a feel for facial anatomy. This obviously does not belong to me and was done for practical purposes only. D:
A long overdue commission for Daewalker of Gaia. I doo looove his coat. *would wear that*
And of course, Roche. She's my Death God for an Adv. Lit DeathNote RP. ;"D

i know your tainted flesh, i know your filthy soul.


Soquitebasically, today is when I scan in bits and pieces of my sketchbook. >> This would be our first actual art assignment of the year (I still can't believe I'm taking a year-long art class...) and it was -fun- as all -hell-. Contour line hands. We can't look at the paper, only our hands, and we cannot under any circumstances lift our pencil off the paper. This is the first out of the... six I drew? Idk, I thought it was thrilling. >> I did my friend Courtney's hand for one of them, and her ring... oh god her ring. :'DDD
Eyes faces eyes eyes noses faces. This page creeped the bejibees out of Cassie. ;D
Moar faces. Two combined pages of -faces-.
And Ziegte because I was bored. I tried to make it adrogynous.
Epicphail.

i'm sure it's not like it was before.

So, for those of us who actually care, I'm adjusting to high school rather nicely, having made a pretty powerful impression on most of my teachers. >>;;

Leyla: ... It's an exoskeleton I tell you!
Cassie: You can't tell it's a -hard- -exoskeleton- just from a -picture!-
Newman: o-O You guys -are- really overanalyzing this...
SomeKid: It is an exoskeleton. >.>;
Cassie: YOU CAN'T TELL FROM THE PICTUREEE. D:

Dobmeirer: So, what'd you think of the book?
Ley: *HANDFLY*
Dobmeier: Yes, Leyla? >>;;
Ley: No book has ever given me more grief than this one. D:

Ryan: So what'd you think?
Glorious: Maybe the man was trying to steal his briefcase?
Ley: Screw the briefcase. That guy wanted the fedora. Fedoras are on a -whole- other level of -win-.
Brian: Real funny, Leyla.
Ryan: Leyla, I'm gonna be honest. There are times in the year when I'm going to listen to what you have to say, and then all I'll respond with is, "Thank you, Leyla." So, thank you, Leyla. >> ;;

Leyla+Cassie: JAZZBAND.
Laura: D:
Guifre: Jazz band -again-? >>;

IthinkMaronehatesmetoo. x0

Annnd I'm gonna be late to the first choir rehearsal of the season~ joooy to the wooorld. My parents should remember the absurd amount of money they're paying for this. >>;

Anyways. I can has -two- drawings.

The first is mildly inspired by Kitty, Jenna, and Emilie Autumn, because I keep wanting to draw half-Ziegte Ria, mainly 'cuz it's fun as all hell. And Jean-Pierre for Osi. >>
