   Art 4 U!
Hey everybody. How are you doing today?

Well, today was my first day back at school since leaving for Christmas Break, and boy was it a killer! X_x
I was tired as all Hell & fire this morning, mostly due to the fact that I didn't get to sleep until 2 last night (damn pseudo-insomnia).
It also didn't help that I was extremely depressed this morning, due to reasons other then going back to school.
But....I'm feeling better now. ^_^
Though, exams start next week. Ugh, can't wait for that fun-fest to begin. Do you guys remember the two bouts of exam-studying I had last year? I'm not sure if it showed up in my posts, but I became a complete social recluse for 2 weeks in January and 4 weeks in late May/early June earlier this year.
XP Well, here's hoping...*makes a toast*.

Anywho, guess what I have. ^^
A pink, fuzzy bunny-rabbit? No.
Pink-Eye? Certainly not.
Insane amounts of hubris and self-worship? Probably...

But what I'm referring to is that I have two new pieces of art up! ^o^
I'd really appreciate it if you viewed them and told me what you thought, especially since one is probably the best zombie-pic I ever drew! (Yes, I know you're tired of zombie pics, but I'm sure you'll like these. ^_^)
For those of you with dial-up, I understand that every click counts, causing your computer to waste more time loading, so, I'll give you a hyperlink to save an extra click! Here ya' go!: My scanner killed his face-muscles!
Just click "Next Picture" from there for Zombie 10 (my best zombie ever! ^o^).

I really enjoy hearing what you all have to say about my art, especially suggestions on things to keep and things to change. Just make sure to be specific when you suggest something I can improve on. It helps me out more when you tell me "you need to draw the third segment/second joint on your fingers", rather then just "you need to work on your hands".
Don't get me wrong, I'll appreciate any critiques you're willing to give, it's just the more specific you are in what I need to work on, the more improvement you'll see.
And for the record, that comment wasn't directed at Lindsey-chan. Lindsey has been suggesting that I need to work on my hands, but I was just using the hand-subject as an example because hands are a common topic among artistic critiques.
And by the way Lindsey, I have been working on my hands! Have I improved any? Please tell me what you think, Elvzy-chan!

Oh, and speaking of EAMR, she's currently working on another new piece! This one's gonna' be a Kingdom Hearts pic!
Though she won't spill the beans just yet on her choice for the setting of this pic, she's put a hint on her post today.
Anybody wanna' guess at which world she's chosen?

I'll leave you today with a very charming piece of art by a girl who goes by "Leena Erufu".
A big fan of both Resident Evil 4 and Final Fantasy VIII, she drew this comic of Chibi-Leon giving off a good rant to Chibi-Squall about the staleness of the Final Fantasy series...with unexpected results.
(Reads Left to Right, like in American format)

Cute, neh? ^_^ I really enjoyed this, even if my main-man Leon got barbequed.
As much as I adore the Final Fantasy characters, I have to agree with Leon's point: FF does get a bit stereotypical with its main characters sometimes. I find Leon's persona to be far more of an archetype, as well as the circumstances of the Resident Evil games more enjoyable due to their realism.
But, that's just me. ~_^
This is a fantastic piece of work considering it was done in MS Paint. All the facial-expressions are incredibly well done. I especially enjoy Leon's expressions in frames 1, 3 and 4, where we get to see all the detail put into the expressiveness (and chibi-cuteness) of his eyes.

OK everybody, I'll see you tomorrow! Peace-Out!
