Day 3 by CinnamonAlchemy
I discovered I like this guy so much, I’m going to make a character out of him. I think he might just be a slacker-hacker. Some futuristic technological setting where the privileged people get themselves Wired - that is, have technology installed into their body - to allow access to whatever I decide to call the incredibly advanced net of information and virtual reality. Which will not be called the Matrix, Mr. Anderson.
Day 2 by CinnamonAlchemy
Wow, does it seem a long way until day 92.
Pretty straightforward… Portrait study of a man. Kind of a speedpaint? I think I spent too long on it, but I blame internet distraction. Ref’d from a photo in my folder of homeless refs, of course. I really wanted something with deep shadows and some more dynamic lighting. I am so guilty of falling back on “default lighting” mode. I’m sure many artists know what I mean, there!
And on another note, I don’t care how helpful you are, Flip—Horizontal, you make me angry and I hate you. So does everyone else I prompted to horizontal flip last night.
Wow, look what I dug up. Two self-portrait things from college that I had called “Me in the TV.”
I’m seriously pretty sure the assignment was to both “overuse Photoshop” and “make it actually look good.” Is that possible?
O_o
Day 1 by CinnamonAlchemy
I don’t really know what fell out for day 1. Wanted to draw a guy. A couple friends of mine got their hair styled awesomely. I decided to do a throwback to a picture style I used to do wayyyy back in college and incorporate said friends’ hair. The result was… interesting.
I don’t even know.
More for the ArtSlam warm-up speedpaints. Harrison for Squid, and Riflow… because she didn’t post characters so I drew her instead. :P (I drew Stablercake’s Andy, too, but I’m not exactly proud of that one, so… *hide*)
Still at least one more I’d like to do… it’s just way out of my comfort zone. o_o
Posting these here because my blog has too much text on it. Boring to look at.
Some character draws for the ArtSlam warm up… Schizo’s Noah with a hangover, Dracothrope’s Merope(I think? Right? Name?), and HomicidalManda’s Bella which I had plans for involving a sweet image in the shower and it just turned into boobs in the rain.
There are so many more of these I want to do! Ahhhh! I was angry I wasn’t home last night to do more!
That fourth image is a small lame WIP teaser of Squid’s trade. Speaking of that picture, it’s getting near done, but I am so afraid it’s going to be shitty. I had such grand initial plans, ones that apparently exceed my current skills… much like that picture that’s circulating around Tumblr that says your brain is 5 years ahead of your current skill level. Truth.
Don’t know if any ArtSlammers saw, but there’s a Character Draw thing going over on the LJ site on for warm-ups. Post a link to your char, join in by drawing someone else’s…
I’m going to do this tonight and figured I’d spread the word in case anyone wants to join me.
That and, gosh, I have a couple trades outstanding, don’t I? Squid, I swear yours is 60% done. I blame the INTRICATE COSTUME and the pose I picked.
Life is kicking me in the balls I don’t have, but screw it. I’m doing ArtSlam if I have to sacrifice all sleep. Art will become therapy again. It’s a good time for it.

We’re still a little under construction and rough around the edges, but the basics have been hashed out and we’re as functional as we need to be to get things started.

But uh. I’m in a situation where having money to put towards a somewhat better car would be THE BEE’S FREAKING KNEES. Like, i’m kind of waiting for my car to bite it while i’m on the way to work. (I mean, i LOVE The Beast, but he is old…
First of all, THANK YOU for the happy birthdays! <3 I really appreciate it!
And… I have to share one of my presents, because I swear I’m like 3 years old. Fuck adult shit, I love getting TOYS. Toysssssss. So, I have been gifted with…
Squinkies! Behold:
A set of 12 Marvel characters, and THREE MYSTERY CHARACTERS. DUN DUN DUNNNN…..
The set included, normally:
These guys - Human Torch, Ironman, Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Thing, Silver Surfer, Magneto, Wolverine and Hulk(omfgcute).
AWESOME.
Then there were the Mystery Bubbles(tm.)

Captain America, Spider Man and Thor! Yayyyy!
SQUINKVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
And I just installed one of my gifts… MORE RAM. I will be getting a new video card soon, too.
I AM GAMER GEEK EXCITE.
If I can squeeze a few more years of use out of this computer, I will be pleased.
I also just ate a huge steak dinner at the Outback and am content and will likely fall into a food coma on the couch now.
