Everything's better with pictures - blog update

Hi! I thought that my Express Tales page was in need of a little refreshment, so now I matched the link to each story with a little portrait of that story's protagonist. Be sure to check them out right at the top, or here. Oh and I did the picture-intervention for my Games Page too, and that's here. See you around!

Tales From The Express - Encounter 8: Broken Advisor

I know I am there for others. Whenever they need that specific information, important phone number or directions to the centre's nearest bathroom, I am incredibly happy to help. But even in that fulfilment, I still remember how long it's been since I stopped helping Myself. I know I am not in the best shape and my health keeps getting worse by the day, but I have that same fear... I am afraid that if I start taking personal matters seriously, I might become too selfish to help those around me. Can that be true? Or as long as I found my lost stash of self-esteem in my job I should just keep at it? Should I focus on giving or having? Contribution or Survival? I don't master those questions yet, but I know I can get you a quick appointment with the marketing executive on the 4th floor, ok sweetie?

 

College Sketching Session: 6 kinds of "Tadaaa"

Since we were looking at the structures of character poses, I tried making my 6 interpretations of Felix The Cat's pose be as wacky as possible. Still, one thing I wanted to have in my sketches was more volume, I wanted to feel how that pose actually curves in space instead of just replicating its shapes. But with no further ado, here they are:

Tales From The Express - Encounter 7: The Old Model

I was sure that my time had passed. I felt like nothing but a staircase that newcomers trampled on their way to progress. A tool. And maybe that's what I am after all... These circuits, however glitchy they are, still understand that we all have a time to be glorious and a time to get used to the mark we left behind... And my mark is huge, so huge that it echoes in the making of all these new fellows with their thin black monitors and wireless connections...

I am indeed a staircase, but the materials this silly old staircase is made of are making the entire structure taller everyday.

Youth is inside of the Hard-drive. (I always wanted to display that)

College Sketching session: Mobster Dog and Pig

The session's theme was to draw characters in a 1920's cartooney style... And what does me do to make sure those characters radiate with the 20' vibe? Well, Me decides to involve a little North-American cliche that might have not even happened in that period (but it felt 'vintage'). In conclusion, next time you wash your dog's little vest, make sure no guns will get in the washing machine...

A big step for me: Patreon page progress

For quite a while, I really considered making a Patreon profile. I think it's a fantastic idea to expose creations on a place of the web where people can actually support your work in a trustful, tangible way...And since I liked it so much, the last couple of days went into putting together my Patreon page, which I am going to launch tonight...As soon as that is done, I'll make sure to put a link on the next post, so you would be able to check it out. *Subtle Excitement Screams*
