The alternate title to this blog post would be "A nerd's way of compensating".
I recently acquired a computer monitor and a laptop for only 200 kr (less than $30), and I felt like bragging showing off my new work space:
That is all. I can sense your jealousy.
For Mike's art jam this month.
Yes, I know the font is cheesy. Yes, I know it looks shitty. Yes, I know I'm talking to myself. No, that's not Helena Bonham Carter.
And here's me and Mike as monster fu... uhm, killers, for whatever reason:
I watched the original Dracula (from 1931), and I really love Renfield as a character. He's awesome.
Made a few attempts at drawing him, and tried to get a feel of the character.
The goddamn notorious piebandit stole ALL my pies, so I had to level up my superman suit a little bit, so I can take them back.
Took the opportunity to try a more advance colour technique (I do that sometimes). It really forces you to focus on the colour when you don't have any outlines to go by, I recommend you try it too.
I have been stricken by the feeling of not being able to draw, and it sucks. Hence the lack of updates here. And before you scream at me "YES YOU CAN DRAW"; no. When I feel like I can't, I can't. I draw things and throw them away, time and time again, and it makes me sad.
Anyway, here are a few things I HAVE drawn that looks good enough. The first one is me as a superhero, for Mike's artjam, the second one was supposed to be Douglas from IT-crowd, but it doesn't look like it and I never finished it.
