becuase Its based on one of my favorite musical works...

If I were one of ElgarÕs Enigma Variations, I would be Dora Penny (Dorabella).

Elgar gave me my nickname after a graceful Mozart character. I stutter a bit when I talk, but Elgar and I exchange puzzles anyway, as he recognizes my inner beauty.

Who would you be? Enigma Variations Personality Test

Live Journal just isn't working out for me these days.
There was a lot going on with the job I had, and now with what I've been doing lately. CRAZYNESS.
I've recently found time for my art, which is good.
I update my acount at DeviantArt alot. Go check it out!
I've been better about updating my website aswell, and I've given it a much more appealing layout, and hopefully within the next month or so I'll add a new section (featuring a garden knome!!)
Here's my site Music Doodle. Check it out!
I've also put a number of new videos up on YouTube. Some are from drumcorps, some from a vocal performance I had in the spring, and me playing a marimba solo from this fall.
Here's my You Tube: Chickenwiretire@ YouTUBE. Go Check it!

I'm just trying to get my art out there. I want to take an art class soooooooooo bad. Almost as bad as I want to find a group to perform with, and play music with.

Thanks for supporting the arts.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT! yeay!

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 02:05:08 GMT

Living with limited internet, and tv, I found I had much more time to sketch somethings.
I'll be updating my DeviantArt with the good stuff, which some will eventually go on my web site- which I need to change the lay out for!

Here are my sketches:

seriously, guess who's on the bottom there!

Waddle belongs to the family I stayed with while I was working.

ehhh, he looks more like all my other cartoons, oh well!
Next time I'll use a reference! (;

Its been a long time...

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 05:39:31 GMT

Living in the Finger Lakes with no freedom internet (becasue work internet is not fun!)
I've got some art to dump.

Here's the digital stuff.... Scans will be sometime this weekend if I can manage it!

man, from reference, I suck.

Its ok, I'm better with a pencil...you'll see!

ARRRRRRRRRRRT

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 05:04:26 GMT

hehe,

so I've always wondered if those stick figure drawings and poses ever really worked or helped when drawing people.
so I tried it out. Pretty interesting results.

Ok so I still don't think I did it right (I wasn't looking at a tutorial while I did them... I was watching David Letterman!)and the green dude is creeeeeepy.

I also had a depressing day shopping. It didn't help that the lady working in the store saw what I was having trouble with and gave me a recomended dress to try on. It was literally a MuMu.
~~FAT~~ , OBEASE old people wear mumus when they can't fit into pants. or are OLD and REAAAALY FAT. AND OLD.
urg. So I drew some crappy pictures of what the dresses were like.

yeah, I was lazy, and drew 1 body for all three. its like paper dolls!

compleated comic?

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 05:22:57 GMT

I may do some tweeking, fix some shading issues, etc.

Helpfull feedback is encuraged.
Let me know what you think!

actual size is a bit bigger than viewed here (I made it smaller for photobucket.)

Squirrel Girl is a real comic book character! (sooo wierd!)

Tablet Practice

Sun, 08 Apr 2007 22:32:57 GMT

Doodle

Rouge of x-men and two of my Dad's old computer geek friends. heheh.
Tom and Dave are fun to draw.

Practicing shading. I'm bad at shading, and want to do it like in the cartoons and comics.
::shrug:: always trying something new!

Happy Easter!

Sun, 08 Apr 2007 18:44:03 GMT

I took all these photos today. And those are my eggs. :)

enjoy!

x-posted to my other journals.

::Scream::

Fri, 06 Apr 2007 03:54:27 GMT

I want to finish this goofy picutre so bad.
I was trying to use a lineless tutorial by binsybaby
but it totally doesn't work for me at all. Perfect for her cute style...horrible for mine!

I just can't do it! ITs bad enough that Squirrel Girl is scary on her own, I don't need my crappy interpretation of an art tutorial to make her SCARRIER!!
The style of coloring is just too tidius for what I'm capable of!

so its back to the original lineart of this one and coloring it the other way. The way I did with "timpani stool" but it won't be so pretty becuase...its a goofy comic featuring Squirrel Girl and a couple of x-men.

uh yeah. you'll see it when its done?

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 05:05:50 GMT

here's a window into my x-men obsession...
found this vid and I find it absolutly hilarious!
Whoever made it is talented.

Fuzzy and Blue! (yeay for Nightcrawler!!!!)

and I can't get the song out of my HEAD!

:p

I am so glad there's no school tomorrow. or friday. or for a week. I is tired.

ART to do list:

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 04:53:03 GMT

so many ideas, so little time or patience:

finish Squirrel Girl art haha. (digital)
Rockin' Roman (not sure of medium yet)
Tribal bass drummer chick (digital or markers)
Small Child playing Marimba (colored pencil)
Harry Potter Chapter . . . 9 I think is next (Midnight Duel) (colored pencils)

will not have any art time later in April all through June.
Wow. I'll have a real job. scary thought.

Timpani stool colored!

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 01:23:32 GMT

Here it is colored for the first time, via computer and tablet.

You can see it full size at my DA page.

~~I think I'm going to update my website today too.~~
Now that this is done.
(:

Next I'm going to color the same image but with a different technique using a tutorial I found.
Will post link to tutorial once I post that image.
Edit
WEBSITE UPDATED! YEAY!

Art in Progress

Sat, 24 Mar 2007 02:17:26 GMT

Here's a piece I'm working on, I've scaned it (obviously) and in mid process of coloring it via my new tablet.
I've never had a tablet before and I LOVE IT! weeeeeeeeee!

ok so I plan on coloring this via tablet 2 different ways, and then finally coloring with the prismacolors for more practice with those. (prismacolors in the book its self)

random art!

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 04:13:16 GMT

My brithday was last week, and the gift I got from my parents is a Graphics Tablet!
I seriously think that my dad has been using it more than me, he's really excited about that kind of stuff, haha, that and he's been home more than me this weekend.
(just got it on Friday)
so behind the cut are some practice "pages." Its taking a bit getting used to but I'm improving. I was also messing around a with a few tutorials I've picked up here and there.
Behind the cut is also a goofy little comic I drew in Florida 2 weeks ago (when I was on vaccation). I'll probibly put it on my DA acount, but not sure if its Website worthy.
If you look at it, please let me know?

practice, practice, doodle, doodle, crappy, crappy,

and here's the comic. Don't mind the palm tree...I like it, I used a real one for reference and it makes me happy!
The dog is similar to the one that belonged to the family that hosted us, and the Green dude is an alien from the original "Comander Keen" computer games.
Random as I always am. . .

I also have 2 finished pieces that I'll put on Musicdoodle some time tomorrow (if lucky), and I'll put them on DA soon.
I'd put them here, but I'm feeling lazy and everything is kinda big. . . so yeah. enjoy.

Thanks for feedback, if you leave it. (;

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:21:39 GMT

After getting tired of waiting for permission to post a link to an artsist's site, since I used a tutorial by her,
I posted the link on my site anyways.
3 new arts, you've seen the rough sketches of them here,
the finals of them are NOW up at http://www.musicdoodle.com

enjoy!

Sat, 17 Feb 2007 01:55:33 GMT

Hello,
I've been doing a lot of art lately,

here's a sketch that I scaned in for coloring in photoshop

My DA page is updated, but not my website, yet. Site is almost ready. You can see this finished piece at both.

And here are some artsy photos I took a few weeks ago, and cleaned up in Photoshop,

That last one if my favorite!

Old man pretending to be a robot. . .

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 14:19:20 GMT

I made this little old man, pretending to be a robot (ok he's not so robot like, as he is crazy!)
This was for the "Draw and old man dressed as a Robot meme" over at binsybaby's journal.
(scroll to bottom of linked entry to see him)
I did this all on the computer. . . I don't use my mouse, just the touch pad. I'm not sure I've ever drawn anything from scratch with just the touch pad!
And I've definitly haven't drawn anything via computer with out scanning and such first, in a very very very long time.
