awe crap...
16 years ago
i spent a few hours messing with the flash programs at college today and then about six more (on and off of course, since there's such thing as the internet and submissions to look at) creating a flash of my remade character yelling 'Mendoza!' to figure out how to draw him yelling... and ended up saving it in the wrong format as well as leaving the computer's desktop on whilst running to the bathroom, returning to find that a class had moved into the lab and the student on the computer i was sitting at decided to close out the windows without even going to the computer next to him...
alright, other than that i'll drop the good news and bad news.
bad news, because that should always come first. my doctor called me last night to say that my X-rays have shown that the bottom of my knee cap has began to fracture starting where the patella plate has been installed. insurance isn't covering my wheelchair because there's a lack of such in my life, and i'm barely making enough money with two fully-functional legs in the first place. (about $50 a week, which goes to food, pain meds for said pin and plates, and gas for rides) also i've been told that by the age of 30 i'll either have to get an artificial leg (hah!) or lose it and about half of my skills and enjoyment in life. for those of you who are wondering about such:
-the pin and twin plates were installed because i got into 'combat' with another human being. i was assisted by my trusty (and at the time not broken) 13 speed bike, whilst they opponent was assisted by a sedan... my knee took the brunt of the T-bone b-slap and left me with barely enough money in suing to cover the hospital bill and medications for the next few years.
-my enjoyments in life involve high-contact sports that require running, one of them is belegarth, the other is my version of soccer, whilst a third is bike-riding when it's not too hot or cold outside so my pin doesn't try to kill me. oh, also mixed martial arts sparring and the random joke kick for when a friend is faking an injury or death. X3 i'm going to miss those times... *sigh*
and the good news: ... um... oh! i've finally been able to draw faces of other anthromorphic beings! at the moment: felines. i drew a lioness earlier today and i'll try to scan it tomorrow when i aquire the access to such. i've also succeeded in making a smiling lizard with the new maw, though come to realized that i can't make one of those tooth-showing grins because an iguana's teeth are more like very short and sharp nails which don't need to be drawn. ^^; currently i've got about 9 submissions that i need to look at, but it's almost closing time so i'll have to check that up when i'm scanning my newest works of art. Oh oh oh! before i forget: i've finally gotten incredibly close to drawing a ratio-accurate human female that carries some sort of weapon. ^0^ i'll be scanning that tomorrow as well, including the two arm poses since i haven't decided on doing for what her arms would be doing at the time.
any suggestions to an arm-pose and i'll be greatful enough to send yah something for free. also i haven't named her yet so i'll be having a naming contest thingy later for her, as well as the lioness even though she's a little disproportion'd... or i think she is. also i'll be scanning the newest member to my scalie character's grouping: Tribe! he's called such because he's Tenka/Dready's friend/Father (but T/D doesn't know that, and you don't either >.>) and the level of experience he has in the wilds of the tropics is enormous! O: more to him when scanned.
last comment: anyone have a word of advice when it comes to drawing avian faces that are close to the style i'm doing?
