I think i've been sick for a couple of days because I was rather tired and my art suffered of it. But i'm better now! So is the weather - it went from rainy to sunny. Still a bit cold-ish, but it's always better the the dreaded DEATH HEAT.

I doodled a temporary cover for Ember and the sparkgobbler. That's how I start projects. do character designs, build a general scenario, draw a cover, then start getting serious about pages. I guess those are the steps I need to get myself to get serious about something? It's almost a meditation.

It's basically the main heroes surrounded by shadows. I'm going to have fun coloring this one.



I'm rather involved with Game of Thrones at the moment. It's a good show, even though a lot of sex was added for weird reasons in a couple of scenes (I swear it feels like some of the production meetings feature conversations like : "this character is monologuing, add lesbians in the back? GENIUS!"). I rather like the characters of Danaerys and Tyrion. I like that the female characters are by far the most interesting ones. I used to love Jon snow, but nowadays, all he does is stand around looking sad and pretty, so meh... It's interesting to see that show that seems mostly created for dudes (sex & swords & mind games) as such a strong female presence. HBO, I like your shows. Really.

I discovered the Feminist Frequency archives lately. It's a website dedicated to identifying and analysing sexist motifs (aka "tropes") in modern media. Worth a watch.

Welp. My stomach decided it was out to get me again, so i'm spending the evening on my couch instead of working. Oh well.

I worked on one of my presentations. This one is about the history of manga. It was actually quite interesting. Especially all the reading I had to do about Tezuka and the Year 24 group (aka father of manga and mothers of shojo manga). There's some people out there who were badass artists. I kinda wish I was the reincarnation of one of them, or something *laughs* Theses guys pretty much created all the motifs still used in manga and defined the type of paneling and shots used.

I downloaded the first episode of the new show "New Girl". It was free off itunes. I was curious. I still haven't watched it because... the commercials for it honestly scare me. The premise of the show seems to be "SHE'S A GIRL. THEY ARE BOYS. THIS WILL BE GLORIOUS AND HILARIOUS FOR THIS REASON ALONE. also, she's nerdy." This seems very.... weak? I guess it's a sitcom, I should not expect much, but since it's the type of marketing they went for, it amazes me that such a basic and kinda sexist premise still attracts so very much. I honestly hope the show is better then it's marketing.

For a commission, a couples asked me to draw them as Disney's Beauty and the Beast. I'm quite proud of this one!
