This is a sketchbook where most of my sketches will be posted. When I get the time to post them.
Sketchy scribles
Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:
Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?
This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.
Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.
Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.
Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.
For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.
signed this, as should any adobe user really.

About magical girls.
Yes it’s a coming of age story troupe, for little kids, we’ve all watched some kind of a show like this. That’s not what I’ve been thinking.
What boggles me is that almost every magical girl refuses or doesn’t want the responsibility out right (denial of growing up?) but when they suddenly do for a dramatic reason X they most deffinetly give it 200% of their effort, know more or less what to say/do and instantly develop cheesy lines for their foes in battle.
Is it like encrypted into the thing that makes the girl(s) magical? To act this way always? Oh exept on the rare occassion that the girl in question is all like “okay lets go world won’t save itself” these girls are clutches and reckless and often cause more harm than good, yet everybody still loves them so as not shatter the volitile and fragile psyche of a young girl.
Magic always travels in groups, because friendship is magic and all that, but what if you watching have hard time making friends? Essentially being the “forever alone” girl (or guy) in school guarantees you’re not part of any magical friendship circle.
There must be but I haven’t seen, or if there isn’t there needs to be a show for the lone magical girls out there.
And whats with all the crushes? Yes yes, again the coming of age and its natural, yes it is. But how young are the girls again? Its okay to have crushes but the way most animes project them is imo too romantic in some cases.
And lets not forget the instantly colorcoded dresses and attacks with even more cheesy speeches. And the fact that everytime they realise something they grow stronger and the dress is more magical and harder to draw, give the animators a break.
Isn’t it like showing that the more glittee you wear the better you are?
I want a show where it’s reverse, the more you learn the kess fancy your clothes, because you learn to be humble, to accept yourself and not hide it under frills and frills and frills.
You learn to live responsibly and considerate and thats what it should be about, thats how most coming of age stories go anyways.
And finally, the magical thingamajig, there’s either a talking animal that gives it to you, you find it lyin around or a creepy old geezer sells it to you for dirt cheap or out right gives it to you.
A) it’s totally fine to take things from strangers
B) it’s totally fine to keep what you find and not take it to a responsible adult
C) the only way you could see a talking animal is if you are hammers out of this world, so pass me those shrooms will you
D) while encountering your spirit animal in a shroom daze do take anything that it gives you.
But heck, it’s a show for kids, all in good fun.
Isn’t every pokemon you own basically suffering from stockholm syndrome? Considering that you beat them up, put them in a tiny ball “prison/trap” hold them hostige for who knows how long and they, despite all that, grow to be your friends and fight for you.
Or is the fighting of a captured pokemon simply a defence mechanism against being put into the pokeball? What if they only fight and do what you ask because they’re afraid that you might put them in a ball or hurt them, like you did when you first captured them?
And then there’s the whole breeding thing. You are forcing pokemon babies from pokemon kidnapped from their homes and family groups, usually with the help of a ball of slime, ich. Thats like puppy breeding, exept you release the pokemon if it’s not what you expected. Which is uncalled for because not only are you disrupting the natural balance of the area, you are also throwing out pokemon that have just been born and are not yet capable of properly defending themselves.
And on the off chance your baby pokemon is what you want, you immidiately start training it to be a fighter like everybody else in your team.
And this is the norm in the pokemon universe. Everybody is doing it, even the “bad guys” who are against it.
Yes, you in turn might grow to love and respect your pokemon, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve kidnapped them, confined them and forced them to breed with slimes and to battle, maybe even against their own family.
Because how could you know, you are just a trainer, in a game, where all this is irrelevant dribbles, and you need to catch them all.
Hi everyone!!! This is an art supplies giveaway for me reaching an amount of followers I said I’d do a giveaway at!
Here are the things you’ll be getting, as you can see from the photo!
- 6” by 10” Sketchbook for both wet and dry media
- A bottle of ink, you pick the color, I’ll order it from a specific site
- A fountain pen that comes with the ink from the same site
- 11 colors of Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors
- 3 brushes
- A drawing of a subject of your choice to go on the first page! You might want to check my art out if you’re unfamiliar with me to see what types of things I usually do
And that’s that. I don’t use any of those watercolor tubes anymore, as I’ve replaced them each with higher quality tubes, so I thought: why not give them away? And I like the fountain pen I’ve been using so much that I think I’d like someone else to try it, too. I’ve also replaced the three brushes I’ve included here, so I don’t need those, either. And a drawing for good measure.
Here are the rules! Please follow these:
- No giveaway blogs. I want more people to actually see this and have a chance at getting something; a lot of artists don’t have a lot of money…
- Reblogs enter you, and a Like helps. You can’t just like - but you can do both to double your chances of just reblogging (if it falls on someone who liked it, I’ll check to see if they reblogged it)
- I’ll be checking the blog that wins to see if you’re an active blog.
- You gotta use these after they arrive! I obviously can’t enforce this, but I want to see people not being timid! Make art! That’s what these are for. I know a thing that stops a lot of people is being scared they’ll mess up and waste expensive supplies… but if this is a gift, that shouldn’t matter!
- This ends on May 24th. If I send an ask and you don’t respond within 2 days, I’ll ask the next person, and so on.
- I will ship anywhere. I’ll pay the shipping.
I think that’s everything. Have fun!!! Good luck!
Mmmmm yes, tube paints, would be nice after my old paints got broken…
