Charlie is following us...!
Because Maladict is just that awesome.

Well, the scanner works, and I have a whole bunch of qwark-tastic images to upload, however this computer lacks the appropriate software to resize or awesome-ify images.

I hate setbacks.

On the drawing note, last night, I drew this highly kawaii picture of Sakura. Only...I made the eyes kind of small and mouth kind of big and nose kind of there and oh-my-god not anime style, you say? Blasphemy!

I decided a while back that I wanted to explore more art styles, as anime is fun and awesome, but being able to more realistically depict stuff is...impressive. Or at least more-so. (That is: art teachers tend to scoff at other stuff, alot of the time. Bastards.)

I actually enjoy the more typically Western comic style, as long as the characters aren't rediculously muscled or wearing spandex (which is becoming easier to avoid, these days, for the more heroic genre of person). It's more realistic and you can achieve alot more distinction between faces through it.
Because there's this sort of...guideline for anime face shapes and what not--it can genuinely be difficult to tell characters apart.

Which is part of why I love the Naruto manga so much--even if they were all completely bald and expressionless, you could tell who was whom, since there is differentiation when it comes to face shape and features. It's really quite neat.

My art teacher gave me my mark for some bi-cultural thing I did, and all her comments were centered around tampons.
That is: she made one comment, and it was, "I love the use of tampons as a symbol of feminine identity." Through this, she seemed to ignore the beheaded fashion models and whatever else.

Oh well. I got 86%. So eh.

I think it is really time for me to do something about that Christmas avatar, even if my software is such shit.

Must...get...Photoshop...soon...or I will die.

Or at least revert. *raises eyebrows*

I'm not sure which would be worse emotionally for my immediate family.
