annnnnnnnd i drew on the wrong layer, fuck me

but the base layer for these assholes is looking okay  

I’ll have to do some tweaking and then figure out what to do with the layer issues, haha.  

and I’ll have to do it all TOMORROW, because WORK, augh, you guys, I want to call off just so I am not at work all day thinking about all the stuff I’m going to do to this >:C

orangemailbox:

Now that we’re roughly a year away from Star Trek’s fiftieth anniversary, it should be no surprise that there are a slew of new Trek related items popping up out of the woodwork. Certainly, that’s what driving the influx of new Trek uniforms (that I noted yesterday), and the release of Star Trek 3 in July 2016. It will probably also result in an increase in Trek related toys and replicas - something that I’m really looking forward to seeing.

Then there are the books. In a good year, there are probably a half-dozen new Trek books released, but 2015 has two that seem very interesting:

In September, Paula Block and Terry Erdmann will publish their Star Trek Costumes: Five Decades of Fashion from the Final Frontier (Insight, 2015). No info on it yet, but it looks like it’s about 200 pages and will hit the shelves at about $60.

This seems to be much like Brandon Alinger’s (excellent) Star Wars Costumes: The Original Trilogy (Chronicle, 2014) that was published last autumn. If so, then it will be an interesting look at original costumes and their construction. I just hope that the photos are clean, clear, and big.

At the same time, David Goodman will publish The Autobiography of James T. Kirk (Titan, 2015). No hard info on this one other than being nearly 300 pages and running about $25. Goodman was the author of Star Trek Federation: The First 150 Years (Titan, 2013), a nice, if not always canonical look at the political development of the Federation we all know and love.

I’m borderline on this one because I’m not a fan of James Kirk. Oh, I know that the fascination with Kirk is one of the reasons we have Trek today, but he always struck me as a one-note character - the frat boy who does something outrageous but is too charming to really punish. But it’ll be interesting to see how Goodman deals with this, so maybe I’ll give it a chance.

The Muse strikes again.

Well, no.

 I strongly dislike (and am frequently downright hostile toward) the concept of ‘having a Muse’, despite my generally extreme dorkery and love for mythology.  The things I make are mine, I am not passing off responsibility to a Muse or some other force I can say 'made’ me do a thing so I can hide behind it when presenting my work.  I spent so so long afraid to share things I was excited about at all, and I’m still working very hard to not be ashamed of my love for things (which often manifests as art) to the point of just destroying the love for it like I did when I was younger.  What you guys see on my blog is an effort not to feel deep shame when I love something.  I cannot afford to entertain this Muse nonsense, please do not bring it up again.

This is not anything against you, this is just the second or third time in like two weeks someone has tried to assign me one of these things, and I am here saying No for the record.

 I’ve been frustrated that this kind of terminology is nearly ubiquitous in fandom art circles for a good fifteen years now.  She says, shaking her internet walker and yelling for kids to get off her lawn. 

That said, I do get frustratingly exciting ideas when I am in the least convenient time or place to execute them all the damn time!  I put a notepad for the shower on my amazon list as a joke but I’m starting to think I should actually buy it.

fuck it is way too late at night to have a really great idea

Today on my drive home, I was stuck at a red light right in the middle of Carnegie Mellon’s campus.  

As I came to a stop, and the students began crossing the road, the chorus to Euphoria came on and I screamed along.   

The entire pack of people in the crosswalk turned and looked at me. 

i want to make gifs of so many of these ridiculous gag reel scenes

“i’ve smuggled in some wheat thins for you”, fucking hell

Yeah, I was just thinking through other buttonfaces you could draw, and I was like “…man Kosh is the worst to draw in any size other than full.”

Full size would be glorious though.  The same site that had those super close ups of Londo and G'Kar’s costumes also had Kosh’s suit and there are so many ~colors~ and ~patterns~ it’d be beautiful if I got to paint it.  Maybe someday I’ll do all four ambassadors instead of just the three.

…i want to play in photoshop on livestream even though my friend is here and i won’t be able to say anything out loud, haha  

she keeps asking me what is funny and then i tell her it’s these gag reels and i’m just sitting here in a spiral of shame and communication starvation, haha

buttonface Delenn would be cute, but buttonface Kosh seems near impossible

Haha, yeah, I’m pretty sure you need eyes.   

And really, Kosh doesn’t hold a lot of interest for me on the drawing front, and sort of minimal interest on the character front.   Since there are no expressions on Kosh, the things I most like to draw are not present!
