77 Zealous Inches

She’s a poser March 16, 2008

I apologize to all those with slow connections, full size is the only way this painting looks good. Been working on her for far too long and I know I should keep working on it until there’s millions of tiny details and I’m perfectly satisfied, but I’m tired of having it sit around so here is my second digital painting ever! There’s a lot of stuff that, again, I know I should fix so if you point out something that’s off, chances are I’ll agree with you heartily.

If you look at it real closely you can start to hear a voice in the background “New from FOX, a drama that will leave you breathless. She has no past, and now she must fight for her future. Tina Botoxlips is…..The Avenger. Thursday night at 8:00.”

Is to post photos! Big ones! Hurrah! Thank you for your prayers if you prayed because God hearkened and I am healed of my afflictions (I love that word, afflictions) and since we are instructed to take no heed of the darkness but instead face the light etc., my lamentations didn’t seem to go along that vein. Update of the week is that I’m working on my second digital painting that will - with prayer - be better then the last one but I’m laboring with the details and savoring the journey so until then here’s two passable-ish photos from my photography phase that I’ve taken of people who will make me a cooler person by association of having their faces on my blog - so thanks Steve and Ryan!

I was following a tutorial on skin painting but the guy just ended up looking way too effeminate to be cool so I thinned out the neck and made it a girl. I made the mistake of starting out with way smaller resolution then I should have so I couldn’t do much detail on it. Now that it’s done I can do something way cooler (hopefully) with lots of detail.

About 7 hours with Photoshop CS3 and DigiPro tablet.

Feel free to leave mushy gushy berfday love for Chuck, just the way she likes it.

I know I said I wouldn’t post anything for three weeks, but I knew I couldn’t make you wait for this photo. I’m in photographers heaven here folks, good lighting all the time and surrounded by good looking people who will actually let you take their photograph - some of them at least! What a victory!

For lack of something better to leave you with I’ll leave you with a scintillating self-portrait. The mirror was dirty, I’m sure that has significance….

Not much time these days, I’m sure you’re all feeling the same, but here’s something to keep this blog alive that I pray is a blessing to you.

For all the fans of our very own Perky Torins, I give you my first (and amateur) creation with Adobe Illustrator. Done a few weeks ago late one WnR night. I do like Illustrator, it makes me a happy girl.

I woke up with the words running through my head over and over again. I can’t get them out of my mind, so I’m just embracing it. I’m telling everyone:

Plethora of pictures April 14, 2007

Imagery, Foolishness , 4 comments by Sonia and Steph.

In the spirit of new-bottle-ism I’d like to post the following photos for something different. I’m trying not to use the word “random” because usage of that word has just gone way overboard in this part of the world, it seems. But nevertheless, these photos are entirely, uh…..desultory.

This is probably a photo that every Family-born young person has at least one of. You’re on some road trip somewhere and someone with authority (my father in this case), decides that you simply must drive an hour out of your way to take a photo next to some statue or building that has something to do with history (the Alamo in this case). They also decide that you’re going to keep snapping photos until everyone is smiling (some of us didn’t budge in this case). You can’t see our faces real well but can’t you just feel the teenage rebellion oozing out of me?
