Got A Laptop To Use For A While

Stuff from drawing class

blind contours are weird

I thought it looked boring at first, then it started getting better and then

BOATS IN SPAAAAAACE

Can the PS Vita game that’s coming out please be this instead of whatever crap it’s most likely going to be?

I have never seen that battleship before and it kicked the shit out of everyone.

Also got Atago Kai'd last night so she could cannibalize more boats for strength and keep me from the cap. Got another Jun'you from that last run as well, giving me two of the best crippled carriers who can get MVP even when unable to launch planes in the shelling phase.

i feel like the most important piece of wisdom i can impart on teenagers is that no one–no one–knows what the fuck they’re doing

my brother is 26 years old, makes $200k a year, and just bought a house with his fiance. he’s the success story you hear about but never actually meet in person, but it all happened by accident. he wanted to go to college for clarinet performance, but he got rejected from all the top schools. so he decided to major in physics instead, and then went on to get a doctorate to put off being an adult for a few more years. but then he ended up dropping out halfway through the program and accepting a job with google as a software engineer. so to reiterate: my brother majored in something he was not interested in, and then he got a job that had nothing to do with his degree. 

he isn’t successful because he had some master plan he followed, he just stumbled around blindly until something worked out. and that’s what we’re all doing–i majored in political science and now i do customer service for a company that makes industrial-sized gas detection monitors. the marketing director at my company has a degree in biology, and my mom has an MBA and works at a middle school.  no one knows what they’re doing, we’re all just trying different things until something works out.

so if you don’t have a plan, that’s fine. most of us don’t. and even those of us who do, don’t usually end up doing the thing they thought they would. it’s okay to relax and let life carry you wherever it’s gonna carry you. because even though a lot of us don’t end up doing the thing we wanted, most of us end up happy anyway.

This thing is really fun to play with, but it seems like no matter what I can’t get the footing quite right and the rounded sides of her boat shoes means she can’t stand unassisted in a wide stance

I made this after class in Animation two weeks ago and fixed it up on monday and I keep forgetting to post it

I wanted to make it a gif but ToonBoom doesn't export gifs by default and Photoshop CC doesn't let you alter the framerate like Elements 5 (which is super restricted in size and duration) does

I feel I should be using this more often, but I don't really know what exactly to post on it outside art and such.

An attempt at a first person animation, that I noticed doesn't have any recoil and I can't easily fix that now so I'll probably never finish it.

One of Graph's drawings from last year that I started to color up and never really finished.

The background of the first image is traced from a photo of Sapphire Beach in Saint Thomas, USVI. The weather was really humid that day and it was apparent in the photo, so I used colors from a nice day over at Megan's Bay because nobody likes gray beach photos do they? The islands in the back were barely visible in the original picture. I'm not even sure why Lass would be at Sapphire with that board other than maybe paddling around and looking at fish, Frenchman's Reef has much better waves and even those don't get very big. As for fish and coral, Secret Harbor (Apparently now named Paradise Harbor because mass tourist influx) used to have lots of coral and fish, but tourists, being the dipshits they are, killed a lot of it off.

The flat colors are done, but I intended to add shading and clean up the water, but that never happened and I haven't touched the files in months. The shading should also be less purple and more blue. It'd look a lot better on the clouds that way and the rest of the image too I'm sure. Gray shading just doesn't look that good.

Scrapped reload animation
