Everyone I love is Dead

They're used to mask - a weakling's hurt

It's just like painting - over dirt"

Guys, I have noticed an influx of depression blogs. STAHP IT, find your calling, and move the hell on and have a good life for goodness sakes. It's too short to spend grovelling over what you can't control.

I've been there, been all there. I've wanted to destroy myself numerous times over, and even attempted a few times over the years; met with failure.

Life is a game you are the main character in. Are you playing to die, over and over. Or playing to win, so that you can enjoy the incredibly long credits?

Now as for this blog, I say nay to depression blogs I've done in the past! And instead, I greet thy small audience with an equally small amount of art- why? I just haven't been drawing as much lately. I have no damn clue why, but I got sick on New Years, and it fucked up my flow something serious ever since. But I have done a few pieces (lol, sketches) as of recent.

Let me begin with a moment of silence for my Gears of War 3 inspired deck of yester-year.

I've recently acquired a nice bit of cash, and finally retired my good friend. I didn't break it, thank goodness. It was a very solid board, may it rest in peace among the other legends.

Welcome my newest companion in concrete/asphalt induced pain.

It is a Krooked deck (distrubutor Deluxe aka DLX) riding in at 8.06 inches, and sexy as ever. These are pics taken before I applied the grip to the top. I've heard great things about these, and I think it'll live up to my previous deck just fine.

Now, as for art. I've done a few doodles here and there. Just like splerge em out in an hour or so, WHATEVER. Not to sound cocky. I've just been doing art for the past 15 years give or take. If any of you want a tutorial, I'd be glad to make one.

Here are the fruits of my lazy ass labor post-2012.

- NOT DONE IN PHOTOSHOP

- NOT DONE IN PHOTOSHOP (This was hard as fuq, just sayin')

-Photoshop

I got a lot of criticism for this one, due to the fact that I love just fucking around with gun designs, yknow? My designs are only at most grounded 10% in real-life weaponry design. The other 90% is totally sci-fi and whatever I choose to make it.

But people where like BAWWWW NOT FUNCTIONAL. I was like, 'bitch, plz'…. not really, but I'm only saying this now because I'm buzzed as fuck. Anyways, here they were. Leave feedback where needed, aye? Aye.

EDIT:

Stealth Bomber deck

Until next time.

Whenever EVA does an art blog, I can't help but want to have more art focused blogs myself.

Juju 11 years, 4 months ago

Amen, JC.

But that's like… already one of the three types of blogs you make.

Man, I feel like shit. Passed out at like midnight, and woke up at 8am of all times, feeling like someone took towel and just sponged up all the hydration I had in me. But I knew this would happen, that's what alcohol does, lol.

Okay, replying to the comments left.

@Juju: Can I get a brofist? Or a highfive? Yea you deserve one, man.

@Charlie: I used a public 'sketcher' board over at Artgrounds, it's pretty nice, I've been using it for the past two years, but it's just difficult in the fact that it has a horrible UI and no color wheel. Therefore I had to make each color as specific as possible using RGB and HSV sliders. Sucks. It's a bit like GIMP but… worse?

And yea, fiction is great. I'll dabble in real-world ideas here and there, but for the most part I just like -designing-. Like function is still in the back of my head, but I never put a real pinpoint focus on it, and that pisses people off sometimes, lmao.

@Juurian: You shooouuuld. I love watching art blogs crop up once in a while.

@Steven: Now why would I make a blog to attack -anyone-? I'm not like that. Hell, everyone should -know- that by now.

Now as for the depression thing, I wasn't going after that, no. I wasn't going out of my way to say 'don't be depressed because I said so, because it sucks and you shouldn't be'. You jumped to a conclusion that I was attacking that, when in fact I was advocating trying to rid yourselves of it and be happy. I've seen the effects of aging come crashing down on us like THE most hardcore wave, and it's simply saddening. I just want you guys to realize there's plenty of room to be happy even in the darkest days. Alas, I'm not shoving my views down anybody's throat.

Just think of me as that wise old man in the corner with his hat covering his face who spouts random jibberish every now and then.

I want my art to be seen first and foremost. I words can be overlooked completely for all I care.

Why are the guns considered non-functional? I'd imagine they're gong to jam like fuck because of the extreme angle of the magazine, but they should function.

Bullet leaves the magazine and enters the chamber, at which point there appears to be room for a hammer to fire the bullet into the barrel - which looks like it lines up correctly - and then the shell casing is ejected.

Charlie Carlo 11 years, 4 months ago

It uses them new-fangled diagonal bullets.

Or maybe they're just really deadly BBs! Who knowwws.

Anyways, finished my grip design. I think I went 'overboard' *ZING!* but it was just so fun messing around with the markers.
