I Started Using The Internets To Teach Myself Hobby Electronics A Little Less Than Two Years Ago And

fyi:

my computer died and I can't afford a new one 8| I have a backup email-checking netbook that works... intermittently but it is too puny to do arts with

my site changed hosts and there were some... technical difficulties so I don't know when questionstar.org will be online again sighsighsigh

happy halloween suckas!

Hey there! I've chosen the recent SPG Poster art you created for Fan Art Friday this weekend - it's spectacular! I generally reblog these from the person directly, but your post includes the word "hell," and we generally avoid any sort of cursing in what we post. As of now, I've set it up to reblog with the paragraphs you added removed, so it'll just showcase the art. I hope that's okay! If you'd rather I not reblog it at all, please let me know! It'll post Friday at 12pm PST.

lol I don't mind if you remove my several paragraphs of blathering, I can't help but inflict that stuff on my own blog/followersHow are y'all enjoying the poster? I still haven't actually printed a copy for myself cos I can't stop spending money on cosplay. It is an addiction

first attempt at custom highlighter palette, went overboard with the red...

got infected by marvel brainworm for le reasons obvious. Everyone's got their character they want to see join the Avengers next, mine is Monica Rambeau/Photon which is never gonna happen. Its not like she led the Avengers or anything. BUT still I wanted to imagine her fitting into Earth-199999 continuity, costume redesign, fiddling with origin story etc. I aped her sexy detective look off Lisa Bonet's character in the US Life on Mars cos I loved her, don't judge me.

It's just that UGH she's such a cool character and her powers are AWESOME and because I am a huge nerd who's been reading a book about quantum mechanics (I'm not as smart as I think I am but I don't let that stop me) it did occur to me that using the powers to their greatest creative potential would require extensive working knowledge of quantum electrodynamics and radio physics. Thankfully she has help from resident radiation expert Bruce Banner :3 I can also imagine her tapping into Tony's uplink with J.A.R.V.I.S and asking him to calculate the best wavelengths to cause maximum damage and it would drive Tony so, so crazy. I just can't help but imagine him being a little possessive of his butler supercomputer :p

Gryph Encarcer, Jackalope Faun Ranger, Ghostbuster of Eldritch Horrors and Primordial Evils, fights with a giant paintbrush staff using calligraphy magic... because OCs can be whatever you want to draw all at the same time xD

First time I'm tempted to do a proper character Illustration in FOREVERRR, something fun like a flashy calling card maybe

Hooooly shit, okay, I love your art a LOT./creepin

Thanks! I don't mind the creepin, I thought that was what the internets were for? 8| Trust me, if I didn't want to share my art I'd be ALL the way under my rock instead of just partially!

Why are you not working in an art related capacity?!?!?!

I think I got this note a million years ago, but I'm gonna answer it NOW~

multiple reasons-

a- I may be slightly awesome at art but I am a hot mess in every other possible way

b- ways that affect my ability to properly network and manipulate the necessary channels to get real, regular work as an artist

c- this isn't true much but has been occassionally in the past and is currently true: I have a job where I make more money than I would drawing. And I like money. A lot. Money is awesome.

I will ask you a thing for WW. Where do you find your inspirations for all the rad awesome outfitery for your elf dudes? So many mixes of different textiles and structures.

Inspiration is just seriously everywhere, movies, thrift stores, magazines, historical clothing reference books (especially these!). My favorite strategy is picking elements from a few different cultures and time periods and smashing them together. I think it works because I have clear ideas about the world, the sets of cultural inspirations (use a LOT of japanese, victorian, indian, and modern western styles), and the technology level (there's mass production... retail catalogs... zippers...). Errikan has this pleated samurai pants thing, leather jacket with coattails thing, and hiking boots (but taller) thing. Naroth has jodhpurs that turn into spats, a utilikilt, and a goddamn cowboy hat. Sounds ridiculous written out but I Tim Gunn that shit and make it work
