Hollowmark and Lovelace 7Chapter Seven:
January 11th: Upstairs

The floorboards creaked ominously as we navigated around the holes.  Some were smaller than a golf ball, but others could have easily let an encyclopedia through.  Either to brag wordlessly or to make the going easier on us livies, Joseph went right through the middle of the hall, where the floor was in the worst condition.  I gripped the banister and made my way very slowly.  I hardly dared so much as check on Dannon's progress.

If I had made the mistake of offering assistance, he almost certainly would have bitten my hand off at the wrist.  I could hear him swearing under his breath, along with a few
Hollowmark and Lovelace 6Chapter Six:
January 11th: Indoors

I thought of offering to help Dannon over the large hole in the porch, but it seemed wisest not to.  He gauged the distance, took in the worm-eaten pet corpse, then carefully found a way around the mess.  I waited patiently in the living room, scanning the place for things I might have missed before.

"Say what you want, I do not like this."

"No one expects you to, Joseph.  Rather the opposite."

"Easy for you to be glib about it," he snapped.  He was too serious, though.  Practically… afraid.

I moved farther into the room, keeping an eye on Dannon, who appeared to be finding his own way into things

About time I just dug in and finished. I did the outline for the pixel bit before going to the office yesterday, and then I spent most of the time after my appointment doodling Van all over notebook paper. I'll share those tomorrow.

Talk about a mix of digital media. :faint:!! I really need to work on my lack of painting skills.

Painter 9:
Pens to outline his face, oils for the color (details brushes for most things and my own custom brush for his hair), all text, my signature.

Photoshop: Outlines (the blue crap surrounding most things) smegging with his name, final save to PNG.

MSPaint: All pixel work. His hoodie was not as hard to shade as it may seem. I HATE MAKING MY OWN PALETTES :bleh:

Fonts from Dafont (yes, including the symbols)

..it's not the best, but it does show how far I've come in four years: [link] Gee whiz. I should probably redraw Kemo and Mary for a side-by-side comparison for my deviantART birthday. 'Cause, you know, it's in four days.

Thanks, I like doing these. :D It's funny how Van suddenly got amazingly easy to draw when I hadn't drawn him in a long time. Suddenly he's all over my doodle pages.

Well, that happens. Truly. I discovered if I've laboured ( and I mean that in the literal sense ) over a procedure or character, and then let it sit for a while, it seems to mature, and bloom of its own. Went a year without drawing a particular character, and when I finally did put her back down on paper, she was gorgeous! I was amazed at how she came out. :)

So wonderful. :D Now I have this perfect confidence that no matter what, he'll come out right, if not amazing. Too bad I don't have that with anyone else I draw. :shakefish:

Would it be that you have slightly more affinity for Van? :)

As weird as that sounds, it's probably true. Even though if I met him in life, I'd probably hit him in the head with a plastic lunchbox...
