i like mail.

Just so everyone knows, when this post goes up, I'll be in Virginia Beach (a mere half an hour from our dear Jordyn's house (and I'd go there if she wasn't on vacation!)), but I figure by the time it DOES the packages will be in their respective locations and it'll be okay to post them up online.

I'm sending two letters later this week (for all of those curious, this was written Thursday, at 4:07AM)- one to Jordyn and one to Jess (VA and AR, respectively), both including esclusive doodlebug sketches and letters (Jordyn's package will contain something from a few of my friends as well as me).

So, here are the doodleys!

JORDYN~

A lovely sketch of Eric and Dre working (in which I digitally corrected the angle so it looks semi-better.)

A pin-up of Ria in a martini glass. My scanner doesn't pick up colors, but her eyes and the liquid in the glass are colored in.

A hothothot Eries.

And also the original sketch for the Mrs. Toad art I did, as well as a little cover of me saying hi, a mix CD titled after this blog, and possibly a CD with a bunch of photos of me and my friends. Possibly. OH and a comic strip of Vlad and Ria fighting as usual, fufufu.

JESS~

The original sketch for this baby here.

This lovely ink doodle of our lovely couple, Anna and Mike. I messed up when penning her face, it's so sad. v_v
And a doodle of her Hatter in the Hearts outfit. There's another, but it's not inked or colored.

i would really love if you pulled this thread,

I pretty much leave you with this sketch and a word of a project that I may or may not finish. (:

(The first doodle is a doodle I did on no sleep. It sucks, ktx.)

&everybody: 1, 2, step.

My three favs of a consistency exercise I did with Eric.

scientific breakthrough

They were so close.

the biggest tragedy is not your death, but a life without reason.

So, first and foremost, welcome back to the Klutz Kronikles, which hasn't updated since October 16th. How ever did I live?


Today we're gonna start with the first product of my boredom in class- bikini girls! There's some chibi and ... Thatcher, I think. Very pink, very hoish.


This was something I drew listening to Robert Randolph's Ain't Nothing Wrong With That. And I felt like drawing poofy hair and superstar poses. So sue me. D:


Continuing on the path of music-inspired drawings, this is from Iron&Wine's Boy With A Coin, featuring, DA DADA DAAAH, GALE! Because I felt like it, kay? Really. My drawings lack any sort of form or purpose anymore. I' almost sad. Almost.


Finally, we're getting somewhere. Xiu (pronounced Zhi-oo) is my Asian OCD-ridden experiment of awesome. The last "resonator," as Jordyn knows her, and probably one of the classier additions to the team. I'm going to enjoy this. Color scheme pending.



Here's where we get srs. The first picture is my final concept of Eric once he ditches the creepy labcoat. I've got his hair worked out, the trinkets, yadda yadda. His concept design was probably my favorite, but this is the first time I've ever been able to draw his hair perfectly. Har har.


And who would I be without a Riadump? This was more fun than anything else. Meaning, it's useless. So on the left we've got a very interesting battle outfit of awesome that reminds me somewhat of Verunica's, but with a more... flat-chested twist. Watch that stuff be made of some sort of armored spandex blend. That'd be funny. Upper middle is something I uploaded because the anatomy is so whacked, and yet I wanna finish it. Lower middle is one of the more accurate representations of my baby, colored with a Q-Tip. 8D On the right is the pending design for her new uniform. Booyaaaah. 8D

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.

two words: sketch flood.

Lalala. Welcome to Ley's sketch flood of massive incomplete crap-tastic awesome! Please don't feel obliged to even glance at this entry because, let's face it, it's fookin hooge. D: So lalala, again, enjoy if you please. :'D

DOODLES

For the first time (in a long time?) ever, say hello to Alex! I drew Andy too, but his hair I can never get right. :'D So here's Alex, Ria's trusty trouble-making cousin who's swept many a lady off her feet. He's such a player. I love him dearly.
This is from the good old days of my .hack//GU obsession! In order, there's Atoli, Kuhn, Pi, X-Form Haseo, and Endrance(lawl). Please excuse the crappiness.
Only for Sarah do I do this: THE BUTT PAGE. Hello, a page of Ria's ass. :'D There is actually a reason for this page! D: I wanted to do this DRAMATIC 4-page comic of Ziegte!Ria vs Sygro, and... well, I needed her ass for the first panel. :'D BECAUSE IT'S DRAMATIC, OKAY?

(POSSIBLY) TO BE REWORKED

There was a caption to this before I cut it to fit in a massive scan on Sarah's beloved scanner. It read, "Love, you are foolish, you're tired. Your sleeplessness makes you a liar," and said caption is from a Hush Sound song. Lighthouse, I believe. And, well, Eric just happens to be tired. Leave him 'lone, he's my favorite man child. D< Ziegte!Ria. That's all. She's definitely my favorite psycho, ever. I love her. End of story.
:'D Vlad and Ria. As demented chibis. Vlad had an "*eyebrow waggle*" thing next to him, but it got cut out. &&So that's why Ria's all, "No."
Beach!Ria. With a picnic basket. Isn't she lovely and disproportional and just LOVELY?
Lolololol Seamus. I wanted to draw him, so I did. End of story.

A group picture that I was working on before I just said, "CRAP THIS LOOKS HORRIBLE," and dumped it. Ria, Athie, and Eric. There's like, a shadow of Vlad somewhere in there, maybe. Ria and Vlad. It looks so bad, but I like it. And Vlad's hair looks like a dead rat mob and it's bothering the shit out of me, but it looked worse before. Chibi captions say, "Stop undressing me with your mind," "Ass," and "Suddenly naked? Wtf! xD."

CONCEPT SKETCHES

I decided that if there was ever a shoujo of our little Darkheart thing, Ria would look like so. & I 'm making fun of Kagome in the chibi on the lower right, because... Ria's doing the "dramatic" name-calling thing that Kagome does AT LEAST THREE TIMES PER EPISODE. No wonder I stopped watching that show. Chibi Eric with his axe. Isn't he cuuuute?
This is Ziegte! The personified virus that split itself into like, 29493483 pieces and infected random expeiments. It is an it, beause it has no gender. Is it androgynous enough?
A psuedo GU character that has no name yet! But I like her&&her swords enough, soo... she's getting posted. Stfu.
RIA'S DAD AND HER MOM IN THE LOWER LEFT FUFUFU. It's a concept through and through! I did something better of him, but I looost it.
La di da, I like drawing Ziegte!Ria too much. Such a creeper, eee.
I told you I like drawing her too much.
I was trying to do a redesign of story 1 Ria. I think it's a little better than the mop she had before. xD
Basically, normal Ria, and what-if Ria. There used to be this whole spiel on how if she wasn't a hero, she'd be this eccentric music teacher, but she likes being a hero better because of Vladdy and travel at the cost of a limb and her life. :'D But her music teacher self would be taller, fufufu.
TESSA. I have been hiding this since like, story two, but Tessa used to be a maaaageee oh she so lovely. Lookither! WHAT AN AUNT. Ria's a luckylucky girl. :'D Alex and Andy don't even know. I've been good about keeping this a secret.

IDEASIDEAS.<3

So this isn't a picture post. Sorry. D:
Basically, it's almost midnight, but I have to get this idea down somewhere or I'm gonna explode. x:

So I have an idea to like, display all of my awesome experiment fighters (becausehonestly, I've never drawn all of them accurately. There's a pretty spiff sketch of Saturn in my notebook, though...) and I feel like they need it.
So I was thinking something in the style of this picture, except like three times as aggressive and with WEAPONS ftw! Like Ria's cannon prototype! And I might attempt Adderson's guns. >> 'Cause he's awesome.
Butyeah. I'll try to sketch that while I'm in Canada! (More info on the Canada trip later. :3)

Oh, and I lied.
Updated page layout for you. Enjoy Claudius and Mortimer goodness! Evie's namesake is coming in on the next page. :3 She's just a less awesome/younger version of this girl here.
Remind me to re-attempt the comic script. XD
