all the things

I've basically got 2 weeks worth of stuff to post today. So hold onto your butts, it's going to be a long post! Let's separate this into topics. 1. Las Vegas So last week was Vegas for work. I didn't think I was going to have to do this show again but it got pulled together kinda at the last minute so there I was again. I was up at 5:30 Monday morning ...

it’s almost time

It's dcon time. Well almost. Uuuuugh I still have to get through a day and a half of work. I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I've got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I'm still hand-sewing on it... I've got a space left for it in my duffel bag. I've got it down to: The 1 ...

we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet

Finished up a few things last night. Got it all packed up. Still working on Lucy's headdress -- but I think that's about it at this point. I've got to finish the handsewing on that and it's taking forever and making my fingers ache. Everything is packed except for that lower part of the headdress (that I'm still sewing on), and my regular clothes: I've got everything in this one ...

a gigantic post

Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they're not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I'm lazy. It never fails that anytime I'm in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, "Ok, let's play the Sims now." I started up a new game this ...

ugggggggggh

I have had an on and off again migraine for an entire week now. Rain keeps moving in/weather keeps shifting and it keeps making it flare up again. This is frustrating. I really don't have anything to share today. All of my progress pics are secret for the moment because they would give away what the pink thing is. I'll post them all closer to the con. Tuesday night ...

whooooooooa

Hi! First up is the great news that my international shipment of stuff for the Pink Thing IS IN THE US!! It went through customs yesterday!! The projected delivery date was 8/8-8/22 and 8/22 was pushing it WAY too late so I'm so relieved that it's here in the states and hopefully will start moving my way later today/tomorrow. I wouldn't have had this problem if anybody in the US ...

A giant art post

Yes it's a huge art dump. Well huge by today's standards, not so much by like... me circa 2001 standards. First up is a Amidala picture I've been working on for a while... I got bored after I finished the face so I'd do just a little bit each day because I didn't really feel like doing the rest LOL but I pushed through and it's finally done. It's a re-do ...

the word “sketch” holds no meaning

Like literally over the past few days I've typed the word "sketch" so many times to tag posts that it no longer looks like a legitimate word, it looks weird and wrong. SKETCH SKETCH SKETCH But I'm all done going back through the archives of my blog and adding in all the old stuff. Enjoy at your own risk and dear GOD I drew a lot in 1998. (And funny, going ...

Sketchblog: Winnie Sanderson

Costume sketch for Winnie Sanderson - making for Catherine. Just a rough sketch to get the basic idea of the shape of the robes/dress.

Art Post: Unfinished Costume Art

So I was trying to do this project where I was drawing each of the costumes I'd done, so I could use them as the reference in each portfolio entry -- that way, I'd have a good full-length view of the costume I'd made for the viewer to compare. I actually got a few done before I abandoned the project I never used them. Here's a few that got drawn ...
