Hmmm, I was looking the gallery over today and realized there's so much stuff that I haven't added or fixed yet >_<
The bad part is that my memory is a tad sketchy on the details surrounding some of the drawings. What's really frightening is when I come across one I don't even remember drawing! Sigh, I guess I'll just have to try my best...that reminds me of a song "I'll Try". Yeah, it's way past my bedtime o_0'

This is the best tablet I've bought so far for drawing! I've owned quite a few tablets in the past, but never a display tablet. I'd heard rumors and drooled over Wacom's web site for years, but couldn't justify the price (in other words, I was broke). However, this year I'm trying to focus on seriously drawing and creating some comic books to sell and the Lord provided a way for me to purchase the Cintiq Pro 13. In the past I've just doodled to make people laugh or gave away gift art to visiting friends and family or for special occasions. My drawing skills have grown to the point where I think I can succeed in publishing a few comic books if I really apply myself (I'm a procrastinator). Plus, Antarctic Press' praise of my recent submission to their swim suit edition also helped boost my confidence

So I have tons of sketches that I'll be working on digitizing to help me practice for the camping story that I want to draw and publish as a comic book. I actually drew the story 18 years ago, so I just need to tweak it a little to take place on the Big Island and redraw it (unlike most of us as we age, Holly looks a whole lot better today than she did back then)...

I'm back! I've made AND released my end of year animation on time (on time is sometime between Christmas day and New Year's eve). So, I hope you enjoy my simple animation that I created using the latest version of Moho:

I finally decided to try and participate in inktober this year. I've actually been thinking about it for quite a few years. It also coincides with my desire to try and start drawing every day again like I used to before I started working. It's gotten to the point where I only draw for special occasions now =\
So, I think this will work out, especially since I've just been dying to draw =E

I'm feeling a lot better, however my schedule has been pretty busy lately (I'm trying to remedy that). I did take some time out to post some of my best photos that I've taken since I bought my Nikon D600. And with the Quantum Qflash and accessories that I've recently bought, I'm extremely pleased with the better lighting I have now for indoor pictures. I've done a little drawing for gift art, so I'll work on posting that soon. At present, I'm trying to organize my house. So once that's done, then it'll be more friendly to drawing, which I hope will encourage the production of more art for your viewing pleasure. I've also decided to move forward with turning one of my adventure stories about Holly going camping in Hawaii into a comic book rather than a hard back picture book (comic books seem to be popular once again among the masses). Then I'll adapt it to other mediums as the need arises...
