Not much today, except for this very lengthly oC session with Cooler_SK and Zee (although Zee fell asleep again XD ). Here’s two samples, hopefully I’ll get around to uploading the rest of it later :P

Zree

Yo Pieface!

These midnight posts are becoming a bad habit of mine D: I blame the Melbourne Cup for replacing a good chunk of my Saturday morning cartoons and throwing my whole day off :(

I did manage to bake some Anzac biscuits though :P And I did some more oC drawing with COOL’er{sk} and Zee, here’s the stuff I drew:

Basilisk Kree in a swirly pose, thought I

I had a toothpick in my mouth at the time, hence this

COOL’er{sk} said that the swirly Kree drawing looked like candy. I guess the shiny effect does make him look a bit like that XD. Zee drew Robotnik, but I don’t tend to make a habit of uploading other people’s art if I can help it

Hey my 2 and a half readers! :D In an effort to get my lazy bum into gear, I’ve decided to switch over to a partially finished version of my new layout.

I’m planning to put more pixel art over the place, but alas I only have the moutains/sky done. If anyone’s knows of a good pixel art tutorial (especially about grass) I’d be glad to hear about it! :)

Feel free to make as much critique (nitpicky or otherwise) to me about the new layout as possible, even the parts that are obviously unfinished. I need prods to out of my lazy rut and into a productive rut :P

I’ve just been in kinda a state of a walking coma. Like a zombie, only capable of eating, sleeping and paying bills. It probably won’t help my productivity levels that I’m starting my university classes next week.

I have an idea about these sketches. It’s been driving me nuts that I’ve been lazy enough to leave them unfinished since last year.

I’m also thinking of remaking my site layout to make better use of space and such. I have no idea how to start it though, so don’t expect anything spectacular anytime soon. Also, as much as I’d like to make use of this blog to showcase my art, deep down I don’t really have faith in my old and slightly broken art submission arrangement. So unfortunately I’m stuck using dA at the moment. Hopefully I’ll change this when I do the layout upgrade, because I really do want to make better use of this website of mine.

So yeah, I’ve been spending most of my free time lately reading pages upon pages of news. Maybe this is some latent symptom from my lack of book reading. I can’t help it, the Brisbane Library only just opened recently! Just for kicks, here’s the major snares:

• Engadget - If anything happens in the tech world, it’s here
• Joystiq - Like Engadget, but with more game
• Hack A Day - They like to hack stuff :P
• WiiNintendo - Wii-related news
• This Is Broken - Yay for finding faults with the world
• Jarkolicious - The yellow alien, co-founder of dA, and a swell blogger
• Starslip Crisis - Kris Straub’s daily sci-fi webcomic
• Halfpixel - Yet more Straub. That man has talent out the wazoo
• Penny-Arcade - Quality gamer webcomic
• Player Vs. Player - Quality not-quite-gamer webcomic
• Ctrl+Alt+Del - Yet another gamer webcomic
• and of course deviantART…

Automated news feeds can get addictive I tells ya!
