I apologize for being gone so long! I didn’t mean to but I had to work overtime this week and I would pretty much come home, shower, eat, work on the tutorial, and then go to bed and then get up the next morning and do it all over again. Funny fun fun. I can’t wait to get my paycheck though because I got paid double time for working on Thanksgiving day and on top of that I get holiday pay which is they add an additional 8 hours of pay for the week, plus, I get paid time and a half for my overtime. Boy howdy, it’s going to be a fine Christmas.

I finally had the day off Monday and I managed to complete the coloring tutorial for the Art of Otaku. A few people don’t know what it is but it’s a compilation of artists who teach people how to draw in their own specific style. This is a sequel since an Art of Otaku has been around before but I was asked to be a part of it this time around so…yeah. Everything is due by the end of this week so I’ve been nailing myself to my chair to get it done. I think my colored pencil ways is what I’m known for mostly so I worked hard on it to try and show people how I do it so then it will help them too. I have about 28 images scanned for this tutorial showing step-by-painfully-psychotic-overly obsessive-step on how I color with me pencils. For example, I show how I start with this:

And end with this:

Giving every step and layer its own image and explanation. It is something that you have to pay for though when it’s available and it costs…ah hell, I don’t even know how much it is! Haha! I’m sure the owner, Adam, will inform people when its ready and I do plan on uploading the finished version of this drawing onto Otaku…someday…maybe later this week. I feel like petting an animal…*pets my doggie*

Quote of the Day comes from Reno 911…and keep in mind this show is almost all improvinization so these people just make up stuff as they go which makes it even funnier at the randomness:
*Officer Weigel has walked up to Terry…a homosexual guy who wears short shorts and roller skates and has had a few run-ins with the law*
Wiegel: “Terry, are you on anything today?”
Terry: “I’m not! I’m totally not, I quit everything. I don’t even drink!”
Wiegel: “You seem kinda jittery, Terry. Are you trying to tell me you’re not on any substance at all?”
Terry: “….I…had skittles.”
Wiegel: “You’re jittery from skittles?”
Terry: “Yes.”
Wiegel: “Interesting. Your eyes are a little dilated and they seem to be jogging around a bit.”
Terry: “Well, have you ever had skittles? It’s all sugar!”
