The Outlanders: Issue 4

Posted on by

Day 15 of my Post-A-Day challenge. This one is easy because it is 15 September, and you know what that means: The Outlanders!

I’m posting this early today because I have to work a late shift, and my head is going to hit the sack as soon as I get home tonight. Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post, My September Sunday!

The Outlanders: Issue 4

My September Sunday

Posted on by

Day 14 of my Post-A-Day challenge! Today’s prompt is a repeat of the workout prompt, so I’m just going to ramble about my day.

There was an early morning meeting at work, but it was okay because today was Jersey Day. The bountiful supply of donuts and coffee was a plus too. Now that football season is finally here, Sundays are my favorite day of the week.

For one, if we donate a dollar to the charity of the month, we get to wear our jerseys. Two? Football tends to clear the place out. When you have a backend job like I do, this is like finding treasure. That treasure? Time!

Remember my not-so-secret-anymore goal I posted about on–was that yesterday!? It feels like a week ago. Okay, let’s start over. Remember my not-so-secret-anymore goal I posted about in Animate Me! (yesterday)?

Here is the what I hope will soon be that goal! This is Elly in a futuristic outfit gazing down at a tiny version of the portal that brought her to Y.E. 0422. The scene inside of it is in Chapter One (when she is walking around the Deserts of Athena just before Braxton shows up).

…And now comes the hard part: doing the digital version. Other artists are different, but digital versions take me 1,000,000 light-years longer to do than art on traditional mediums. >.<

Animate Me!

Day 13 of my Post-A-Day challenge! I promise, I am not tired this time.

Day 13: Post something you’d like to accomplish.

I would like to eventually draw something that could be mistaken for a screenshot from a cartoon or anime. By could, I mean completely mistaken for a frame out of an obscure animation show.  This is the first time I’ve ever shared this not-so-secret-anymore  wish of mine with anyone! The only way I’m going to get there is to keep drawing.

I haven’t had much time for drawing lately, but I was inspired by something I saw today. Will my next picture be “the one,” the image that makes people wonder if it is out of some sort of cartoon? I hope so because I would love to finally accomplish my not-so-secret-anymore goal.

Oh, and Furby, Dumb Cat, and White House in Space have nothing to do with anything. I just felt like photoshopping that tonight.

I Can Haz Nap.

Day 12 of my Post-A-Day challenge!

Day 12: Post your mood.
Looks like a repeat prompt.

Current mood:

Tired.

 When I’m tired, my imagination disappears. The blinking cursor agrees with me. I’ll leave you with a pirate violinist. She is clearly not tired. 😉

Never Forget

It is Day 11 of my Post-A-Day challenge. I’m going to stray from the prompts today, given what day it is.

September 11, 2001
Never forget.
Thirteen years ago two planes flew into the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth never made it to its target. Those of us who were around, who are old enough to recall that day, remember exactly where we were when it happened. I can replay that day in my head with such vividness, that it could have happened yesterday.
Taken from a trip to NYC in 2000.
I am sure we have all taken a moment today to remember the innocent lives lost to this tragedy.
~ We will never forget. ~
