Description Watching a live HD MCR concert on TV...-drool- The commercial breaks are short and it's haaard to type a description...XD But my gawd, this makes me happy. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE = WIN.

Anyway, I finally figured out how to use guidelines to help with posing!! NO MORE JUST-STAND-THERE POSES!! -dies- Also, I gave Epoch a makeover! I just always have to make my characters to be cute/hot/etc.....gawsh XD Bad Moofin! Bad! But yeah, I totally redid his design. He still has the orange eyes/orange crystal necklace, but I made him more anthro-ish and gave him some clothes. I don't know about the rest of the colors.

Also, from the How to Draw Manga books mah buddy lent me (thank you! <3) I found out how to line up the eyes. THAT HELPS A LOT. Now I can draw faces with two eyes, like they're supposed to be XD AAANNNDD...in the lower left picture, I made it all...foreshortened...bird's-eye perspective-y! XD That's another thing I've been meaning to figure out how to do. SPLEE.

Doncha just love that beanie? That's another kinda..thing...from school XD I don't want to embarrass a certain person though, so I won't elaborate

character/design/artwork all © me

and for anyone who doesn't know, you say his name EE-pock, not EE-poch.

OMG HOW CUTE! ^^

That makes me really happy, honey-moofin, that you are really getting some use out of those books. ^^ I'm so glad! Aren't they spectacular? I just found tons more stuff that's great as well online. If you ever want some more resources, tell me and I'll pop a link over to you! ^^

EPOCH IS SO CUTE! *bonecrushinghugshim* What a schweetheart. Aw. I luffs the beanie. It's like, from above, it's like a target. ^.^ To...drop missiles on...aww. HOW CUTE! *squee*

Hahah, target! Missile-dropping is just so adorable! XD Nicole is the one who owns the stripey beanie I kinda stole for Epoch...XD You ought to ask her and Casey about that beanie, it's pretty funny.

Epoch: Huhgghh! o.x;; Um...yes...thank you...

^^ I think I'm pretty good for now...the posing thing has been my main goal for a LONG TIME now, and I need some time to practice with it before I pick something else to go after. I'll keep that in mind though! Lately I seem to be accidentally learning new things a lot more than finding out how to do the things I really want to know XD

Well, you seem to be really good for posing, Honey-Moofin. I really love the walk you have there. ^^ I think you can really take off with your characters. Have you ever considered doing a regular webcomic with any of your characters? They're really endearing and I think they'd be a great success!

Hahaha, well, the thing is, you're learning. And learning is good (for the most part. XD Some things you don't want to learn. . .). So, that's great, even if it is accidental.

Moo ha ha. Are you going to Blick's today/tomorrow? I'm pretty sure I am. Hopefully around 11ish in the morning. XP

Ooh. I think I will then. XD I'll ask them about it. ^^

Aww, thankie ^^ I have considered doing a comic, in fact, that's something I've wanted to do for years now. I guess that's kinda what got me started drawing in the first place! You can ask Casey, I have this whole entire detailed story in my head, with backstories on almost all my characters (plus a few which I hardly ever draw) and so far I've only explained it to Casey and another one of my good friends. (the only two people I RP with) It's just...I'm not good at writing, I can't seem to find a writing style that fits me or the story, and I have a REALLY hard time filtering the important details from the minor details, and putting everything in the right order. I want to write the darn thing so bad. I have another problem too, though, I have recently decided that this story I've been working on for over two years now needs to be totally redone because I don't like hardly any of it anymore! I'm not sure what to do about that...everything is so mixed up in my head now. Every time I try to at least jot some stuff down, my mind goes blank. I'm at a loss for what to do right now. It was my plan to make a comic of the whole thing when I was comfortable with my ability to draw humans, since most of the story revolves around my main character (who is part human) and my three vampire characters.

Okay, that was...long. Just problems that have been plaguing me for quite a while now. I think I need to rethink most of my story before I do anything else...adjust it so I can add my newer characters and allow my main character (which is supposed to be like...ME) room for the changes that I make in my life, so I won't end up hating her like I did with my last main character >.<

-siiiiigh- I will be going tomorrow (or technically today I guess...) but I'll be lucky if my mom and I are even AWAKE at 11! (we is nocturnal peoplez, we is!)

Yes, ask them how Casey looks in that beanie. XD

Gawd, guidelines. I've feared them for years.

I know, really. But they help so much! It just takes forever to figure out how to use them right XD

Just the word "beanie" brings me back to Seifer attempting to be cool. When he's not. XD The beanie, the jacket, and the chatspeak (we totally owned you lamers!) . Ah, the memories... -remenisces-

...Anyway. XD HE IS SO COOL OMYGOODNESS. Reeeeally cool. And all of that new stuff you learned paid off, since it looks so great.

Isn't he awesome? I think I'm gonna have a contest or something, and everyone will get a chance to make a girlfriend for him <3 ALL my characters are single. You think I should?

Thankie much!! Epoch seems to have become my labrat for trying new poses and stuff XD

grieverwings In reply to explodingmuffins [2007-01-17 21:22:31 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... maybe! I think it's a good idea, but it's totally up to you (as usual... XD). Single can be good, but I think Epoch would look cute with a girlfriend. Hee.

XD Using him as a lab rat (XD and there I was pondering what the hell a larabat was... I think I need to re-learn how to read) is working out! He looks pretty neat.

explodingmuffins In reply to grieverwings [2007-01-17 22:12:57 +0000 UTC]

I just wonder if anyone would enter the contest. Or maybe I should just like...see if anyone has a character already that could be his girlfriend. I don't know how I'd make it a contest really.

Heh, Epoch makes a good labrat. I tried something with Draco, but he didn't work so well. He got a huge-ass knife and this really devious grin and it's kinda scaring me. I don't think he likes being a labrat very much o.o

grieverwings In reply to explodingmuffins [2007-01-18 05:47:41 +0000 UTC]

XD I don't think Draco likes anything very much.

Knowing how popular you are on here, I'm sure someone would do something. ^^ No worries about that. And about the contest thing... I don't know... offer to draw a picture for the winner or whatever?

explodingmuffins In reply to grieverwings [2007-01-18 06:53:04 +0000 UTC]

I suppose. There really can only be one winner though, I don't want to do second and third places >.> I'm not that popular either! Most of my friends don't even draw wolves XD Ah well, maybe I'll make a poll or something. I wonder if I could get any of my art class buds to make a girlfriend character? XD

grieverwings In reply to explodingmuffins [2007-01-18 20:31:43 +0000 UTC]

XD You have someone who favorites everything you do, no matter what it is. -snickers- I call that popular. -laughs-

^^^ A poll would be a good idea.

-points up- I just noticed that. The deterioration of the ozone layer made the ^^ grow into a mutant three-eyed ^^^. How sad.

explodingmuffins In reply to grieverwings [2007-01-18 20:45:17 +0000 UTC]

The ^^^ just stole ^'s eye. One of those doesn't belong to it.

I had someone else who fav'd everything that I did before, but then she kinda dissapeared Ah well. I still don't understand why some people do that, but hey, I'm not complaining XD

I don't either... it doesn't always make sense. It's still very nice of people. ^^
