Work work work....

As an update to everyone I finally did get a job for the last of the summer.  I am officially an member of House Keeping at the the Marriott hotel here in Morgantown WV.  I must say, we seem to be the cleanest hotel here and top rated.  Amazing right?  lol I just don't care honestly.  It's a job so it's more money than I was making which was nothing.  Soooo minimum wage compared to nada so I can't complain too much.  They will probably be depressed that I'm going to leave as soon as school starts but I can't keep this job and go to classes.  I'd only get maybe an hour to two hours a day and that just doesn't work.  Especially when I'd get paid more than 8 something, close to 9  or more when I go back to the cafe.  The only good thing about housekeeping though is the air conditioning.  lol

I've been doodling a bit but not a lot lately.  The heat wave has totally killed me this week especially since I had to walk in it around 10 and 2-4 which is the hottest part of the day of course.  Not too happy about that.

Anyway.... I have had an idea for a story running through my head about witches' familiars and the such.  I thought it would be an interesting change.  I know there is a series out there about familiars already but I'm kind of intrigued by the idea.  I was even thinking of re-purposing a few of my old comic characters into characters of the stories.  The comics would probably still go on as little inbetweens but I'm not completely sure about it all.

I have almost finished two more cards as well!  I just have to cut them out because I haven't done that yet.  But this makes 15 cards if I haven't said it before.  I'm excited.  I can't wait to work on a few more here soon but I'm hitting an art block so it's kind of hard.  Not too happy about it.  Oh well.

Jobless No More!

As of last week I had an interview and was hired for a job starting Tuesday!  I'm pretty excited actually because I haven't had a job yet this summer.  It's not like I hadn't been putting in apps either.  I've put in several of them and all I did was just walk in with this new job and she said come in tomorrow!  I know it's only house keeping at a hotel but it's better than nothing.  I'll be able to actually not have to dip into my savings constantly.  Go me!

I'm 15 cards into my Oracle deck and will probably start posting them here soon.  At least I think I'll want to soon at least.  I'm in love with these cards.  I wish I could get the descriptions done properly because what I have so far isn't going well.

Let's see.... I'm almost done two silk screened cards.  I need the backs of them but I just don't feel like doing them at the moment.

I really need to get started on my idea for a print exchange.  I need to create a landscape and a creature to go with it and start with the ground rules of the exchange.  Possibly look into asking some artists from Deviantart that do prints to create something.  Of course, I'm not keeping it to just prints.  I'm opening it to everyone.

Hm... I also have a slight story idea going on in my head.  I may have to write the ideas down before I forget them.  And I pity many of the comic characters that I've created.  They're going to be in it though it's more serious than I thought to be at first.  More later when I figure more things

Something Old

So, not a lot new for me to post.  I didn't get one job I was interviewed for but that's not a huge shocker there.  I expected it.  Thanks to anyone who was hoping for me to get it.  I really appreciate it.

Anyway,  a bit of art here and there was done.  I admit, I read fanfiction and enjoy a good bit of it.  I found one on DeviantArt by chance that I found interesting and started doing fan art for.  I couldn't help but be inspired.  So I got two done and a lot of people have liked it.  It boosted my mood a bit so I'm ok with not getting a job.

Now, onto something old.  A comic that I just find amusing. It was for a project for class I had and the theme was Apocalypse. I chose Random Bunny because he's just so much fun to draw. By far he and Tea are my favorite characters. 

Anyway..... RB loves to rant and he is perfect for it.  And when the apocalypse failed his swearing was just fun to come up with!

Yes, be amazed at my poor comic style/coloring.  But it's mine so nyah!

A little more art, a little less self esteem....

So, in the past two days I have been working more on some pieces of art.  A critter I sketched out a few days ago while at work that I find completely adorable and posted here earlier.  It is not a lovely burgundy color.

Not so happy with the background I believe but it's mostly likely going to change sometimes in the future.  I'm hoping that I can get as detailed with the rest of the critter like I have around the eye.

I've also been working on my cards as well.  But right now I seem to have hit a slight art slump because I've been so tired.

The past couple of nights I haven't been sleeping well.  Last night I'm sure I saw several points of the clock and I know I was tired at work.  I feel asleep on the couch last night but still couldn't sleep deeply enough in bed.

Yesterday was my interview for a summer job.  I feel like I've completely bombed the blasted thing and maybe the only thing I got right was sending information in for the background check.  And low and behold, it's another kitchen job.  I need to start pushing applications for jobs for the next year seeing as this is coming up on my final year of college.  I'd love to get a position in a job that, I don't know, studied for!  I really need to get into printmaking or just finish my card series and get those published.  That or make it big somehow with art.

This is the time I wish I could animate or something.
