Still having fun on Sketchpan. (Added on a bit in Photoshop on this one, to make it square for my messenger display pic.) My color sensibilities (and style) are slowly improving.

So I was poking around random stuff today and discovered Tegaki E, which is an awesome idea, but somehow the idea of joining left me kind of meh. I ended up doodling/signing up on Sketchpan instead (which is practically the same thing, except it’s Korean, and there’s layers). They’ve got an English interface option, so~
Anyway, my first scribble ended up being as a guest, so I’m reproducing it here:

Now I just have to convince other ppl that it’s a good idea to join. Buahahaha. <cough>

Also, Banlieue 13 and Banlieue 13 Ultimatum are sooooooooo very good. Just sayin’.

This one’s done in Manga Studio, cuz I wanted to play with screentones hassle-free. Dunno how I feel about it yet.

Take two:

Though I kind of prefer the saturation of the first one.

 2nd piccy.

Still playing with how I want color to work.

This one feels like it needs some texture, but it’ll do.

The last year or so has pretty much been an art wasteland for me. I did fill most of a sketchbook (except during those four or five months I was eating/sleeping/breathing Aion), and I sorted out a pen I like,* so I guess it’s not been entirely barren, but… getting back into the habit of drawing (a recent semi-endeavor) has required baby steps. >< One of my friends has graciously been willing to paintchat with me once or twice, which always helps (ty Ayu ♥).

So here’s a random scribble I did in Photoshop today; the monotone line width is probably something I’m going to keep. (I was really more interested in playing with color, tbh.)

* A fountain pen, actually. Not much line variation, but I’ve always favored that anyway.

New theme is officially finished. No art updates cuz I’m too lazy to scan things~ Maybe soon, now that the site’s pretty to look at.

And I don’t usually sing the praises of my plugins, but I feel the need to make an exception for this one. It’s seriously the best lightbox for WordPress ever. It attaches its rel tags separately from the dashboard somehow (on page load maybe?), which you’ll never have to edit old posts to get it to work with them. It also means you can put any kind of code you want into your post (I’m looking at you, NextGen singlepic shortcode), without having compatibility issues.

And by that I mean this blog. New built-from-scratch theme, new location. I figured out how to do an .htaccess redirect, so everything should still point here, even from the old location. I’m crossing my fingers that the feeds will redirect properly, too. Anyway, please update your bookmarks to http://gloomday.com/attacks, and modify/resubscribe your feeds accordingly.
Thank you~

Edit

 Yes, the feed redirect (for rss2, at least) does indeed work. I make no promises about the category feeds or atom.
