4KOMA 4KOMA 4KOMA

4Komas are hilarious. I mean....most of you have NO clue who this is....but in the case of 4Komas (4 panel comics ala manga)....IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT MAKES SENSE ANYWAYS. XD




That's who he is in a nutshell. He blows things up with fire...that's really what most people need to know LOL.

There's your mini comic...thing... bro. I can't say you owe me more RP...but....obviously you help with these. LOL. >_>

Last Figure Dump

Oh, and while I'm at it, two more drawings from the last session of that figure drawing class I had. Yay. Something that doesn't require me to be creative....*sigh* ......and actually know what the hell I'm thinking about drawing from my imagination. Life drawing doesn't need too too much imagination, I mean, you are trying to draw what you see in front of you (although I still can't help but stylize, and the teacher who was teaching this didn't help much...)


MEMES MEMES MEMES 1

You know, I had SAID that I was gonna stop on this project of mine...but goddamnit....I just can't, apparently.

My friend Ironmary on DevArt made a MEME that basically you take one of your OCs and age him/her.

Well....



Why the hell did I just do this? I dunno. *sigh* Like I said, it's sometimes a little hard to let go of projects that you seriously want to work on, yet at the same time I think I'm spinning my wheels. Urgh.

Dunno. I imagine eventually it'll either go along someplace again, whether it's by my will or otherwise, or...it'll eventually fall back outta favor as other ideas are forced into my head thanks to school/crap like that.=T May as well play around with it some more for now I guess.

Oh, and let me spin through the ages here of Mr. Barton the younger, and possible reasoning why he would be like what he would be like at such age....

Young Child (like...4-6) : OMG, I think this is the happiest I've ever drawn Matt, that's for sure. Like...innocent care free happy, not psychotic happy! LOL! His childhood till age 5 was perfectly normal so what would he have to worry bout?

(well...cept for the blood transfusion of demon blood he was given to cure a disease he had...BUT....he doesn't know about that at this age, why would he care bout that anyways?)

Child (like....7-9 ish?): He lost his parents and his older brother (parents killed, older brother left him for dead accidentally)....and got put into a snake pit of an orphanage, where he got bullied like hell by just about everybody. His hair would probably be longer if some psycho and old biddy nuns didn't strap him to a barber chair and hack it until it looked managable, but apparently too big clothes for him isn't a problem? Wut?

Young teen (13- 15 ish?): When he isn't required to keep it short, Matt really never gave a fuck about his hair, lol. That and oh, in this age group he was a runaway living on the street until he got arrested and put into a UK correctional faculity...then later the streets of the UK/where the hell he could find shelter. Gangly would probably be a good way to describe him here....gangly and still a shy dork because beyond surviving he isn't exactly the popular kid still.

Late Teen (16-17): Got his ass deported back to the US somehow, but his lifestyle didn't change that much until he found his brother again and was taken in by a couple of soldiers because they were interested in the "powers" both of them had as a result of the demon blood transfusion. (more so his brother than Matt at this time). Still doesn't give a shit about his hair and he's still a gangly fellow from not eating properly. So he doesn't look as old as he could- in fact- a lot of people mistook him for being younger than what he really was. Like his brother made this comment when they first met after the long years they were seperated:

"Whatever. You know, you act real big for a kid your age....what are you...like ten?"

(To which Matt got mad....he dislikes when people call him anything along the lines of "kid", "runt", "little", and so forth.)

Young Adult (18-mid 20s?): After he got taken in by the soldiers and put through a few random adventures, he was trained in well um, fighting and soldering crap by one of the soldiers, a Japanese fellow named Ryusho, or "Rogue". He got a haircut finally, thanks to military regulations. Also most of the time, three squares a day, and with that a shit ton of PT and other similar soldier learnings. So he's at least...ya know, "average" looking here.

Oh, wait. Except for the scars on his face and neck (also lots of other places not seen here), which occured at 18 after a mission that ended with his own brother.... beating his ass, slashing him, flaming pain, shrapnel, oh, and most importantly, slammed his head one too many times into walls and with a nasty punch that gave Matt a Traumatic Brain Injury. Ouch.

Adult (20's-late 30's?): Not too much change here. Still a soldier,and a damn skilled one at that because he enjoys the job and thusly becomes a Special Operations soldier. All that training obviously reflects on his body. Gets that spot of facial hair because he's just that damn awesome, apparently. Also starts a family but...pfft...it ain't that important. As a SOF operative he gets pulled away from his family ALOT. (thats the only part of the job he dislikes but he knows his family deals with it...his children either vaguely mind him, or outright dislike him, and his gal is independent enough to if he's gone, it's not a huge deal.)

Just...watch what you say with him though. He has a bit of a temper and it has been said when he loses control bad things happen....

Middle Age (late 30's-???) : This is probably where the most changes happen...well..he still looks like he could be 20 something, that's because of the demon blood. Think like Wolverine, he ages realllly slowly.

But....he kinda lost for one reason or another, his family that he actually cared about during this time period, his gal (wife in all but actual marriage) and his three kids. (Minus his older brother, but...he didn't care bout his brother too much, kay? Never did.) . And that loss, pretty much broke what little sanity he had left after 20+ years of bullshit and war. Along with the brain injury. And the demon blood.

It...essentially turns him into one screwed up mother effer who enjoys the dark side more than he should. Like, he's not completely psychotic, but he is rather impatient, and a dumb brute who just so happens has the abilities to knock you into next week AND then shock or use some demonic whatever the eff to kill you. Or cut you open and filet you in two with a beam saber. Or if he really has to you know, he'll use a gun. Or slam a hand right through your gut and tear out some vital organs. You get the idea.

Elder: Oh gawd, this was a HARD one to think of and probably the first time I ever drew Matt THIS old. Because the problem with Matt, is that he ages REALLY slowly, if at all, really, because of his demon blood. I don't really want to think how long it'd take him to look like this.

But, there ya go. Think like, ya know, Heihachi Mishima....he can probably still kick your ass 10 different ways even if he's old, and he has more than enough experience to almost always have the upper hand on you....despite he's old. LOL.


This would have been useful had I actually been going anywhere faster. But alas...nope. The first 7 cards were easy, and then I got stuck on card 8 for like a week. Not. Efficient. At all. UGH.

Sculpting!?

Okay, this one requires a post of all its own.

In our class for the past two days, we've been doing....figure sculpting? WUT???

It's something new for me! Brand new! Never done it before (well, aside from animation models, but that's different!). It was...intense. Here are the weird+beginnerish results. LOL. And big huge boxes of clay that we got to use because I feel like posting how exactly epic it was. Or something like that.
















Figure Class Dump

Okay, well, my figure drawing class is just about over, and I just realized I failed to post like.....most of the drawings Ive done in that class. Oops. Sorry. It's been a class FILLED with drawings so I felt a little overwhelmed. LOL.

Anyways. Dumpage time. Not gonna comment on them, that would take FOREVER. Just enjoy them for what they are, K?

Later night tegaki-ing.




Just a doodle. If you want to see me make it, go to my livestream (http://www.livestream.com/rogueomania) and look in the ondemand library for "Tegaki Doodle 1" and "Tegaki Doodle 2".


It took longer than it should have. But I'm tired. Night.

And so I come to a crossroads again.

Random crap that's been going through my sketchbook/mind/class.




EDIT: there WAS a bunch of stuff here that was mostly me blurting out crap. But. Putting it shorter (and perhaps more rationally)

I think for one reason or another, I've burnt out on this personal project of mine, "Rebel Forces". It's probably more me than anything else. Thusly, for now I'm canning it, and probably am gonna well, retreat to whatever little happy hole in my mind for awhile with it. I don't know if it's done and dead, or if it's just gonna go in another direction....I don't know. Feel free to pitch in ideas. I don't know for the moment. Burnt out, again. And even if not...well...I guess I understand that too. Or at least try to understand. =/

Anyways.

Chill chill chill.

Today was a rather relaxing day. I hung out with my friend in Spokane. We're both decently broke (correction: I'm DEAD broke. :<) so we couldn't do much. But with what we did have we did get along pretty well.

We went to the public library and checked out books. I got an autobiography called Electroboy which is pretty good, a BEAUTIFUL book on Andrew Wyeth's Helga studies, and a book about the Berlin Wall which I haven't looked at yet. He got a bunch of fantasy and fiction books, and because I'm awesome, I shoved Shaun Tan's The Arrival at him because IT IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL as well.

We went to the park and read those books for a couple of hours, relaxed under some evergreen trees in the grass. I also sketched in my mini moleskine a quick sketch of the park's "splash pad" where kids were cooling off in the hot summer day. (I wasn't very hot though- FL makes me pretty immune to heat not with humidity, lol)



Then there was a cheap dinner at one of Spokane's awesome downtown eateries, the Satellite Diner. And more book reading, The Boondock Saints and a split sixer of Newcastles. Not as epic as shooting the fucking cat and tons of beer, blood, and fire fights...but still a pretty good day.

NOw it's time for more Grey's Anatomy and then tommorow, some housework/schoolwork/maybe some personal artwork. Yay! Later.

(the only bad part of the day? Bugs bit me in the park and I itch now a little. :<)

Last night doodles.



My friends were busy working last night on their animoo cosplay costumes, which involved huge ass cardboard swords.

This reminded me of a certain OC fellow of mine who has a huge ass sword (and pointy katanas). There was a piece of printer paper, pencils, and a ball point pen......so excuse the slightly craptacular thing. It had also been sitting in my pocket because I was also doing the standard "Friday NIght" stuff. >_>

I might redo it later to fix some problems/better ink job. Maybe. And/or color. I dunno. if I feel like it.

For the love of god when I was drawing him I couldn't remember exactly how I had styled his long arse blue hair. Probably have to fix that one. lol.
