hi guys

sorry this isn't earlier i was physically feeling down today but since it's so late i'm just going to post up as many pictures as i can with no context i hope that's alright.

No Medley Today

I wanted to focus on fleshing out my Drawing 1 portfolio instead.


So here's a shoe. The strange thing about this is that it looks better when it's all small and thumbnail size... most of my sharpie stuff does. XD I really like how the toning on this came out, but I sort of messed up on the scaling... it still looks okay, though.

There will probably be Medley tomorrow.

Working my Way

So maybe I wasn't kidding.


It's just that I've been really stressed lately for one reason or another, and I'm not sure if I'm up to producing several drawings a day again quite yet. Hell, it was hard for me to do more than one drawing in my drawing class yesterday. I just stopped at least ten times and told myself that I couldn't do this and that what I was drawing looked awful.

So updates may be slow for a little while, but I'm going to cover Medley one way or another. Be sure of that.

This is Takehito Wakamoto... he's Ayame's older brother, but I'll talk about him more when I have a spare day. Despite having the most dramatic backstory of any of the Medley cast, he's insanely easy for me to write comedy for.

Also, I'm going back and tagging entries that deal with major characters by their name. Makes things easier to find in the long run.

A hint of listnessness

Hey guys! You know how I said I was going to start covering Medley on this blog?

I was just kidding! Sorry if any of you were excited.


Instead, here's something I did in drawing class today.

And once again

Another half-hearted update. Sorry guys. Haven't been feeling so hot lately.


Ryuusei Matsui... Hideaki's brother. While Hideaki is only a cool Gary Stu in his mind, Ryuusei is a cool Gary Stu in real life. He's good at kendo. He plays the violin. He's top of his class. All the girls love him and all the guys are his best friend, and most people consider him a saint for putting up with Hide.

The only person who doesn't like him is Hide, of course. He has a theory that Ryuusei is a Terminator sent to kill him, but no one listens to Hide and therefore no one cares.

They're fraternal twins, even though they don't look alike... they looked similar until puberty, at which point Hide's hair got black and blue.

And as soon as I started on a roll, the fates conspired against me

So it's almost midnight and no update. I can explain.

For each day as I was introducing characters, I planned to practice my digital art skills by doing a basic picture of the character. Then I'd do a little picture with more action in it in pencil to really hone my drawing skills.

Today, my tablet (which was sort of glitching frequently anyway) completely ceased to function. I can't draw digitally without my tablet.

I started doing the little action-y pictures, but I had sort of already lost my motivation... as the drawings went on and it became apparent that I couldn't draw anything that wasn't completely static, my artwork devolved into horrendously sloppy sketches. I will post up those sloppy sketches for the sake of posting something right now.


I'm pretty sure the plan is "get a new tablet tomorrow..." hopefully I'll have something better to show then. I'm so sorry, everyone.

Prelude, Part 1

This is Hideaki Matsui, but you can call him Hide. He's cool with that. He's cool with everything, really. He's so cool you could keep a side of meat in him for a month. He's too cool for school, and even though he lives in a society where emphasis on academics drives thousands of teens to suicide he's so cool that no one cares he barely manages to pass classes. He has mad electric guitar skills and the voice of an angel, if angels had voices suited to RAWWWWK. All the girls want to have sex with him and all the guys are jealous of his amazing coolness and sex appeal, but if they get to know him they'll become best friends with him in a heartbeat. And then they'll want to have sex with him, because Hide is just that amazing.

_{"STOP, MY ARM DOESN'T BEND THAT WAY"}

Or at least, that's how it is in his fantasy world... in the real world, he falls asleep on the bus to school a lot. His brother, Ryuusei usually twists his arm to get him to wake up.
