AIRs

I'd get nagged for not posting much anymore. But the thing is that I doodle a lot. A whole whole lot. I figured I'd make a blog with all the doodles.

I'm still in the process of getting more online, but here it is: http://www.sugandya.com/
Nothing terribly XXX, sorry.

Zzzz

So yeah, I'm pregnant.
And I'm announcing it on hA.

One of my super-rare-bouts of straight sex has gotten me knocked up. I guess that's what I get for drinking and going a long time without a screw, and having too many friends with too many inches between their legs.

I haven't told the baby's daddy yet. I'm not even sure if it's his. Yeah, there was a second guy there, and a pre-op transexual... So I don't know whose it is. I guess that's what Maury is for, right? I'll announce if I get on the show and the date it'll air so you can see me IRL. I'll try not to scream too much.

I'm actually not that mad about it, and I could care less who the baby's daddy is. Now, I don't have to make my college degrees work for me. I can just stop my pursuit and go on good old government aid. I'll even join a church group and bring my kid up as an arrow for the Quiver of the Lord. It's time for me to start living a moral life I was bought up to lead. Seeing that site made me put down the RU-486.

So I'll stick around until my Godly duty as a woman is complete (i.e. the baby pops out) and name it Christiana if it's a girl... and Christ if it's a boy. Or Chris.

I haven't posted anything lately. I thought something was wrong with me... But the thing is that my interests have been drifting. *Gasp*

As an artist, I like to experiment with a LOT of things. First it was music, now it was drawing. Now I'm getting into web design and flash development. It's fun. A LOT of fun. Like snorting coke off bitches fun. Oh and graphic design is fun as hell too. Annnd that music thing is starting to creep back up on me...

I've come to realize I like art enough to just make something nice for whatever the hell I was doing underneath. Character art is great but that shit gets real boring fast just on it's own. I'm not a dedicated illustrator. I still want to improve and do my best, but I want it there as a mantle and not a centerpiece.

I guess it's time for me to stop milking a dry cow and finally step up to bigger and better things.

This isn't a GOODBYE FOREVER post; I haven't eaten in a while, and when I don't eat, I get thoughtful. REAL thoughtful. But those thoughts usually stick. I don't know yet.

OK, so I'm playing my first* for real not-made-in-flash hentai game, and it's a yaoi one.
*I have witnessed hentai games in the past. One of my old friends was a creepy Otaku who INSISTED upon showing us his latest Peach Princess title. Just... goddamn.

It's called Absolute Obedience, and it's about some stuff.

It's not bad. I haven't finished it yet but some scenarios are tittlating and others are borderline yaoi fangirl tropes.

I like how the main characters, Louise and Kia, look. But there's something about the artist... the men look better clothed than naked in her work. I'd rather her just have them keep at least 50% of their clothes on. Hrm.

One thing I noticed is that there's Anal Sex Everywhere. Not that I have issues with buttsex; on the contrary, I think it's fun if you're careful. But every sex scene ends in that. All the time. Always. I nearly had a heart attack when they threw in a 69.

Holy god there is some stupid dialogue in this game. Like "so stupid it makes me smile." I love it. When fucking someone on an altar, it's describing your chara pounding the target like nails into Christ's flesh, lol. Good god that was the best one (So far)

I wouldnt mind seeing a purely yuri game this intense in English, but it'd probably be more awkward depending on who all produces it.

Your strongest work isn't always your most recent work.

So, I've been thinking of doing some at-home apparel and making other dinky goodies after I graduate and pay some shit off to sell on etsy and eBay. It'd be stationery, screenprints, prints, magnets, and other goofy crafts I learned how to make in skewl. Maybe even some desktop icons or cellphone themes (I wish...)

If you could make your own apparel, what would you make? Would you do character-based stuff, or maybe some cool patterns or designs to market?

I'm thinking of having another commission auction.
I normally don't take any outside of that (I still need to get my newer stuff up...)
Maybe I'll take some outside of auctions when I get more stuff up.

Watch this space or somethin

Sometimes I wonder if people ponder on how we decide what new apps to accept in. Aside from this here good helpdesk article, human judgment is complicated.

I can't speak for the others, but I share my addled brain with you today.

I judge from the standpoint of someone who's been thrown around formal art and design schools. I'm easier on many factors others will readily critique, but harder on others people don't even think about in the world of INTERNET ART.

It's obviously a case-by-case basis. Also subject matter makes it easier to consider; disembodied dicks get boring as shit after a while.

Subject matter aside, I usually look for harmony: colors, shapes, lines, composition, idea, framing, anatomy, and comfortable use of the medium. This is a subconscious thing that hits you all at once: it either works, or it doesn't.

I don't try to focus on "clean lines" that everyone who wants to jump on the cel-shaded bandwagon loves. What I look for are "interesting compositions," and "even more interesting underdrawing. I've seen artwork with clean lines, your typical photoshop-esque coloring that was passable, and have TERRIBLE anatomy, perspective, little-to-no-emotion, and color choices.

I'm a little bit lenient on anatomy. We all have our anatomical mishaps. Also some of us know anatomy fine, and are going the route of exaggeration. (You can usally tell the difference between that and someone who's never studied real anatomy, though) I don't like to ride TOO hard on it, though, simply because there's more to character art than anatomy, and the other aspects don't get attention. That said, figures that are poorly composed don't get through too quick with me.

I think this is coming out way more complex than it seems. That isn't to say I've gotten snagged on some apps. It does look more complex in writing. It's not easy.
