I inked this piece tonight and broadcast part of it live on UStream. I'm sorry there wasn't any warning; it was a last-minute decision and a test to see what broadcasting was like. When I try it again I will give you some warning in case you want to catch it live! :)

Of course, you can follow me on Twitter for the most up-to-the-second updates about things like this. :P

Sing P-O-N-Y-O!

UGH. SO BAD. I was listening to the English version of Ponyo's theme song IRONICALLY and Disney's voodoo magic made me actually LIKE IT.


Wonder Woman Day 4 by ~Tallychyck on deviantART
Here be the finished piece! (A photo, sorry for the quality!!) Please support Wonder Woman Day (on October 25) this year by submitting art, bidding on art, attending the event, or just picking up Wonder Woman and giving her story a try!

To get the galaxy without using whiteout, I tried some 'drawing gum', which I assume is just masking fluid in disguise -3- I tested effects like masking out on scrap from the same watercolor paper to make sure they worked:


Success! On to masking everything!!!




Ahhh, it is a glamorous life, this. <3

The most evident utensil is none other than a pencil

Got a lot further on those chibis last night--now they are all inked and waiting for watercolor:


I hope that adding color adds to rather than subtracts from them. I kind of like them as is, but I'm going to color them anyway. Onward! Manifest color destiny!

I am also working on character designs for a very exciting project I'll announce soon. It's challenging, but I do enjoy a good challenge. :P

Aachgh, Evident Utensil by Chairlift is SO GOOD!! Don't get the music video at all, but the song has been on repeat on my laptop for about a week 8D;

Housing for next year drama continues; school is also wringing out the last stress it can from me in these final days before moving home. Emily is throwing a party tonight in our apartment, and I would be a horrible person to skip it, but I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic in my evasive/stressed-out state. I'll try not to think about the library as I'm playing Pass The Pigs, haha.

You sit in the quad, and think, "Oh my God! I am totally gonna go far!"
