Frog Tails Day 3It was ten o'clock. Dad's plane had left around 18:00 or 19:00, which meant that he was still in the air. I could never remember how long the drive to the airport was, I mean, it wasn't like I went there often, but he'd left a copy of his flight criteria, so I knew exactly how long the flight was. Seven hours and fifty-seven minutes. My dad was probably spending every second of it either trying to get comfortable or scribbling on the airsickness bag with his favorite ballpoint pen.

As for me… Well, I was lying with my back on the couch cushions and my legs draped over the back of the couch. My head didn't quite touch the floor, bu

Frog Tails Day 1"Place your trust in the spoken word
Love is more effective as a verb
Keep your head above the mob
Don't let them steal your faith from God"

My dad wrote that. He was a poet once, though it's a rare person who could pass on that information. When I asked him why he stopped writing poems, he said that when my mother died, his muse left him to become a drunk so he wouldn't do that to me. A poet he remains, but his pen embraced the less artistic role of signing checks and field trip permission slips a long time ago.

It had been quite a few years since the last permission slip. Signatures were still something he had to offer me, however.

Hey there, manby ~Kid-Apocalypse

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Cartoons / Drawings

Experimenting with an even cartoonier style, and really crappy cell-shading that I got bored with halfway through. Flash doesn't like me any more than it used to, but I love the style of lines I get with it.

Boobs in this style are harder, but I like the feet. Shoes are for people who haven't the presence of mind to step around glass.

...She's sort of like a bobblehead meets pipe cleaner doll. I call her Becky Rubbernecker.

(coloured in Painter, because I've no patience for colouring in Flash)

Gotta go move the 360 upstairs for the party now, and probably re-Gold my account. I can already see Саша suggesting TF2 or Left 4 Dead.

Yeah, I tried a looser style on a different character...I'm liking the way it turned out, as well.
Ver' good, btw.

~Kid-Apocalypse Jun 11, 2010

Thanks! This is partially based on some pin-up styles and Chris Sanders, but not very much. I also had the idea of a distinct silhouette very strongly imprinted in my brain. [link] I think that part worked out.

*Hagge Jun 14, 2010 Professional General Artist

It did, indeed.

~Kid-Apocalypse Jun 16, 2010

Too bad this was almost the last thing I felt like drawing... I think I've made the shift to writing again.

*Hagge Jun 18, 2010 Professional General Artist

...and may it be a good shift...

~Kid-Apocalypse Jun 23, 2010

Can only hope. :3 And apply myself. I've been thinking that I need to undergo some training to become more productive.

*Hagge Jun 24, 2010 Professional General Artist

What, would you consider going back to school for that?

"They" always say that if you do something for 21 days consecutively, it becomes a habit. I can't vouche for that, because I've tried that, and there are certain things I can't seem to turn into a proper "habit", but apparently, it can happen, as something done repetitively will actually wear a groove into your brain.

~Kid-Apocalypse Jun 25, 2010

I would, at that. Dunno if it'd help, but I'd like to.

Maybe not a habit, but it does shape your mindset. I used to write much more consistently when I was writing 4-6 stories at once. Acourse, I was doing that for years.

Ooooh, I like it. Cartoon-y is cool.

~Kid-Apocalypse Jun 10, 2010

Thanks. Thanks to cartoony, I don't have to obey rules of anatomy.
