  • red panda - human


    -=* New Picture *=-


    This is the same character as the last two posts, except as a human. Drawing all those anthro sketches isn't really my style, so I just had to do this one to break the pattern for a little bit. She still doesn't have a name yet, though. So um, I guess I'll just keep referring to her as Red Panda, even though she's human here. Anyhow, feedback welcome.



    Options: I might replace the No Bikes pole with a skateboard. I think it would add more personality to the picture and give her a little more edge.

    let's get a real update on you
    dude, are you drawing all day?

    No. It's just that I've been having a huge bout of writer's block lately. Normally I write fairly well, but these days I look at my keyboard and just draw a huge blank. Drawing just happens to be the other thing I do besides write, and I've never had artist's block before. Anyhow, my life, eh? Hm. Well, let's see. I'll just make a boring list, because I can't come up with a creative way to describe my life right now.

     



    • I might wait to go to SoCal until after I get a BFA in Fine Art or Computer Art, but I've decided that I'm definately moving away from here at some point in the future. Growing up here has been great, but I don't want to settle down here.


    • As of next month, I won't be working in Manhattan anymore. The commute alone is killing me, not to mention the expense and the extra taxes. Ick.


    • My enthusiasm for church is wearing thin. Part of this is all the politics and drama that inevitably go along with attending a Korean church of any kind, but my father is the Deacon, and so it doesn't reflect well on him for me not to go. I do believe in God, but I feel church should be a place where you're reminded of God, not where you're reminded of why you dislike church politics. So I guess I'm going to church for the wrong reasons at the moment, which to me is a signal that I should stop.


    • My sister is moving back in soon. Although I adore my younger sister and we get along well, we haven't lived under the same roof in . . . like a decade or so. I can only imagine the screaming and yelling that awaits me in the near future. (Not one sided yelling. We'll both be yelling. At each other.)


    • My dog, who has spent the better part of her life as the most docile, passive canine you've ever met, actually had the balls to growl at me yesterday when I attempted to take away an apple core from her that she had dug out of the garbage. She was severely scolded and reprimanded for this action. (But I never hit her. That would traumatize her.) She's back to being her passive, obedient self. Can't have her questioning my authority, you know.


    • With the big Three-Oh looming on the horizon, my mother is placing a lot of pressure on me to find a good job and settle down and create a family. It wouldn't be so bad, though, if I didn't live under the same roof as her. I suppose it's self inflicted, though, because I choose to live here. Oh, the sacrifices we make for the sake of our education.


    • My parents are pressuring me to sell my car. I don't want to sell my car. My car is my baby. She's mine. I payed for her with my own, hard earned money without a single red cent from anyone. The only way anyone else is getting their hands on her title is if they pry it from my cold, dead hands.


    • I'm thinking of joining a gym. I've never had a dedicated exercise routine before, and I'm told it will help me immensely with my ADD. Not to mention all the positive health benefits. And the positive mental benefits. And it'll keep me busy and focused. With my high metabolism, maybe my body will react well to exercise.

    Meh, the rest is boring normal stuff that happens to everyone. Eating out, meeting folks, watching tv or anime, and such. I've taken to reading relationship / dating columns lately, though I'm not entirely certain why. Some of the theories and methods floating about are quite interesting, though. Most seem a little too involved and complicated to me, not because I don't understand the premise, but more because I doubt I could do something so rehearsed and premeditated. I just kinda take things as they happen.


    Anyhow, that's my exciting life at the moment.


    I know, I know. I probably could've really spiced it up if I tried. But like I said, the well of literary creativity has run dry. I'm all tapped out. So for now, enjoy the pictures.


    If any of you want to suggest topics for me to write about, I'm pretty open minded, as long as it's an inspired topic. Not anything like "Talk about your favorite color!"

  • let's get a real update on you
    dude, are you drawing all day?

  • nice drwaing..im loving the song up there...i love that song...i have a real music video of it....lol...neways props for u....
    *taffy*

  • i believe the way the world works is that the longer you wait (for change to occur, or to enact change), the less likely it's gonna happen. this is your chance to make your break if you dont wanna deal with renewed sibling rivalry. ask your mom to hook you up with a hot chick from church. i know that might be a stretch so id say at least a chick with a rich family. that might also be a stretch, so maybe it's time to hit up Match.com. as for your car, sell that goddamn thing already; it sounds like a money-pit from what ive heard. yes you paid for it with your own hard-earned money, but lets be realistic -- every car and every piece of property that you own or will own from here until youre rotting away in a cold grave is most likely also gonna be paid with the same self-earned lucre so it's useless to start forming emotional attachments this early on. unless youve already resolved to keep that car until worms eat your brain. in which case. i give you kudos for your dedication. and the gym? do it.

    thats my word.

  • i was thinking you probably dont need a whole history behind the character, just a quick overview of what she'd be like (as in spunky/rebellious, cute/innocent, tomboy, rebel sort of thing.) save you time and you'd move faster on drawing her. this drawing is good. i actually thought that was a skateboard =/ sorry, haha. i think praying and perhaps interjecting every now and again when people get political would help rather than quitting church altogether. the people wont change unless you show them they might need to. if you go back in a month or year, they'll probably be the same. nothing will prompt them to realize they need to focus back on God unless it gets pointed out to them. and i hear you on the car. i dont think i'd want to get rid of my car that i invested money into, but you might need to look at thins practically. would it be better to trade in your car in the long run?

  • wow. thanks for sharing about your life. i didn't know you were 30! you look young in your pic ;) i think it's a trend for people in their 20s to live with their parents. with college costs rising, i'm carrying $20k of undergrad debt on me.

  • kyasha: I'm not 30 quite yet. Still a couple more years to go. ^^;

  • at least it doesn't rain this much in socal
