Soooo sorry! I haven't updated in forever and now it's NEW YEARS!!! D: Dunno what to say - I have no real good reasons.

So, quick life updates! Life is BUSYYYY. I had work on Christmas and gonna have it for New Years, too @__@. Whyyyy??????

Again, that's not really an excuse but more like something to rant about because I've had lots of time in the weekdays. Man, I am feeling SO unproductive lately! And I don't help myself by depressing and putting myself down all the time.

Without further ado - ART instead of MORE bad writing with overly elongated descriptions to go with them...

More stuff with the coats and all that - but in COLOR. If you're still watching this useless blog, Susie - There's Daniel in color! Haha!

As I mentioned sometime earlier in the last post- I read Catch-22 and really liked it. I sketched around how I imagined the characters to look sometimes (mainly Yossarian until I watched the movie then went with the way he looked in the movie XD). I drew Yossarian yelling about "bastards" killing him. XD Dunno who's supposed to be replying since I hodge-podged on it. I was debating between it being either Clevinger or Nately. P: Still dunno, but more likely Nately the more I look at it.

Wish I was able to solidify a drawing design thing for them... but hey - oh, well. I wish I could have drawn it better in general but for now I'll live with it this way since it's a sketch... I guess. >__>;

After reading Catch-22 I watched the live action movie that was made in the 70s. Safe to say, I thought it was okay. The book was long, so it was expected that they couldn't get that, that many scenes. Just some ones they thought were key enough to do and pull together in a movie. It was a movie that needed context like reading the book before watching. Once again, I think it's because the book itself is a ding-dang 400 pages long. At the beginning of the movie I had doubts about Alan Arkin playing Yossarian since he seemed so awkward to me - but by the end of the movie I had NO doubts. In fact, I thought he was just PERFECT for the part, I even imagine Yossarian to look like that in my head, now when I re-read parts. XD

At first I thought to paint one of the scenes from the movie. In the end, I decided to just draw a portrait of Alan Arkin kind of like a study thing and maybe I'll try a scene another day.

In general, I think it made it generally look like him but something about it isn't perfect, either. P: People told me they could tell who I was drawing so I'll take it as a good thing that I got a likeness at the very least.

A random bunch of trees and a bump of grass with a little walking path. You can probably easily see a light sketch for a body there .Dunno who or what kind of person to fill that space with... but I'll get back to it. I kinda hate everything behind the colorful leaves and twigs in front... but hey. I'll just practice - so there. P: The tree in front and the branches attached, though, I'm actually okay with it~ :)

Late and LOOONG, but...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ALL!!!

And may all your fondest wishes and dreams come true. :D :D :D
