Sketchies again!

 So. A whole day of drawing pages and cleaning the apartment. I'm kinda tired. I'm hopeful this actually killed all the bed bugs (we found a few and sucked them using the vacuum) but i,m aware that they might still roam. I'll wait a until wednesday. If we are still getting bitten, i'm calling the exterminator. Me and Link barely have any bites and we found a dozen or so bugs, and probably sucked in a whole bunch by vacuuming all the crevasses. Hopefully this is just the beginning of the infestation, explaining the small numbers. 

Basically, i'm optimistic, but as they say on all the sites about bed bugs - prepare for failure. They are very hard to eradicate without professional methods. But I wanted to at least try. Just in case. I'm not a big fan of throwing a ton of chemicals on my books and plushies.

This was a long day, so I sketched a few things.

It's a mixed bunch of How to Train Your dragon, Avatar and Namesake.





Also, a portrait of my current sworn enemy.



If you see him, knock him dead.

Bedtime!

The abominable snowman from ski free? D:

Ah, your sketches are so lovely! They have that flowy pen stroke feeling.

THanks! I always love what my sketches look like. Then I ink them and I fell like fail.

This happens when I try to color something. :(

On a completely different note, isn't it sort of cool that despite how we have advanced as a species to overcome our environment, the creepy crawlies have always managed to adapt and thrive alongside us? If only they weren't such an annoyance...

If anything, they spread because we messed with the environment in the first place.

I'm really lovin' the "I'm bored" pose. XD

"I'm bored. Let's generate steam."

LOL! Nice 'wanted' pic ;) Bed bugs huh? Where do they come from?

Awesome sketchies my sweet! :)

I really have no idea how we got them, which frustrates me a lot.

I heard they were making a comeback, but you're the first person I know who's had to deal with them. Dislike!

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Beware!

Loved the avatar and the Serenity ones...

Cute!

Hahaha! Everybody's favorites.

Bed bugs are terrible. Though I've been fortunate enough that I haven't had to deal with them personally, one of my previous jobs had two clients with it. Both were forced to get an exterminator. Unfortunately for one client though they had to do it three times though that may be in part to the family not following specific regulations set by the exterminator. So yeah, those little buggers are painstakingly annoying~~~ If you manage to stop it before it gets out of hand all the power to you. Show them who's boss!

I really like your drawing style. It's so very lovely and your sketches are wonderful. Sketches seem to have a charm all their own. It's also nice to see "behind the scenes" in a manner of speaking. You have very fluid lines and you draw such wonderful expressions.<3

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I got an exterminator and a list of chores to get done. You bet i'm gonna follow all his recommendations. To the LETTER. I want these out!

Awww thanks! Sometimes I think my sketches are nicer then finished stuff.

LOL, at the wanted poster.

Good luck with the termination! Hopefully it won't come to a point where you need professional services...

Turns out, i'll be getting the pros, but my landlord pays for it.

Sweet!!

So much gorgeousness~

Thanks!

[identity profile] engelen.livejournal.com 2011-01-03 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
ugh! Good luck!

Also, I read "I'm boiled" instead of "bored"... what is wrong with me!?

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-01-05 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
She's hot? And boily?

I always love your sketches<3 Especially loving the Serenity ones! You draw her so well~

*spies Kataang<3*

What an evil looking enemy! D:

Serenity FTW! :D I love drawing her.

mmmm.... moi j'avais un couple d'amis qui avait ramené des petites bébettes semblables d'une auberge de jeunesse lors d'un voyage. Eux ils avaient jetés le matelas et tout passé au javex.... Je ne sais pas si c'est une possibilité pour toi?

Finalement, j'ai contacté mon proprio. J'ai une liste de chose à faire moi-même, et lui il va payer pour un exterminateur parce qu'il ne peut pas légalement faire autrement. Je l'ai encouragé à prendre un exterminator écologique que j'ai trouvé au moins. Je sais pas si il va le faire.
