The Life of a Foolish Mortal

They finally got Hellsing volume 10 out for pre order.

Even if I don't end up graduating on time at least I'll get to finish something on May the 15th.

So I finally managed to get me a copy of the Hellsing manga volume 8. It was supposed to be out in the beginning of July but the shipping got delayed and everything else and I started working so I didn't end up picking it up until this week. I finally got to read it last night and my brain exploded.

So I just watched part three of the OVA. I'm also avoiding looking my drawing homework in the eye once again, so here's a review.

( SEARCH AND DESTROY! SEARCH AND DESTROY! )

Overall, another awesome ep. Minor details I missed but all and all solid entertainment and quality production all around.

Now to see if I'll get around to review episode 2.

Well the art block seems to be done with. Now I've just got lots of apathy towards my Drawing homework that causes issues. I'm sick of putting together collages and drawing them.

My sort of limbo state of where I'm going to school next fall makes most of my class work feel like I'm just grinding my wheels and doing nothing. So I've been avoiding looking my class work in the eye and been doing work for ME. It feels rather nice to do nuts and draw something cause I felt like it. It also feels good to get back to my convention work, since that is actually working towards a goal.

So this brings me to the main point of my post. The first real art post in a while.

First up - A skeleton cross walk Screenprint for class. I had lots of fun putting the image together, this was the first time I got Illustrator to do something I wanted it to with little hassle. I love the look of the final project and everyone seemed to like it at critque. So this one is a general warm fuzzy puppy sort of thing for me right now.

Second - A rather messy sketch of Kali This needs major cleaning up if I want to do anything serious with it. This is the image in middle of inking, my rough lines are still visible and I had fun drawing it and some of m class mates thought I was warped for this. Good times all around I guess. Should probably go without saying but Kali is NSFW - gore, blood, and blue boobs.

Woo, anyone who has spent abit of time with me or on this journal probably has heard about my obsession with the manga series Hellsing. So if you are sick of the topic and my ramblings about it, feel free to skip on ahead. Cause I ain't changing my tune anytime soon.( For the rest of those who want to read, click here.

I have seen the glory. I looks and sounds AMAZING. Voice casting is awesome. This is an INFINITE improvement over the previous series. I will ramble more later cause Lissa is sleepy now.
