Portal simplification

Did a cut-down of my portal and made things way more straightforward. I dug up a semi-old quick sketch&color and tacked that up as the layout, har har. Here's the full shot of the goth-y chick:

Note: Yes, I can't decide what color I want this blog to be in. I guess I'll stick with gray for now...

PsychoAnn.com is online

Clicky here!

Heh, in the end, I got too lazy to design my own site and Jes so happened to refer me to Indexhibit. Their system perfectly suited my need for simplicity and I love their intuitive back-end control panel.

I got some of my newest stuff there (which I haven't showed online yet) but I still need to set up the fine-art section. Basically it'll be the place where I put up what I think is my best (non-fanart) work.

About my dead backup hard-drive... it's dead. It's very, very, physically dead. I think I lost many originals and raw art files but I try not to think about it orI'llstartscreamingandnotstop.

Age of Reptiles tribute

Pencil sketched then colored through quick with Photoshop (and a dabble of Painter for the background).

It's been quite a while since I've drew something just because I wanted to--in fact, it seems the last time I did so was last year.

Well, I'm happy I can strike this off my list. Showbread's Age of Reptiles album is in my top 5 favoritiest albums of all time and I've had this image of a kid in a croc mask in my head from the first time I heard the titular song. The album in whole is just awesome but the song has a great message.

I went through many concepts before deciding a straight on shot would be enough. This piece can also be put in my "creepy young girls" series (yes, I seem to draw those a lot).

Portfolio Site

I'm about half-way through building my "portfolio" site at psychoann.com.

At first, I was determined to just steal Jes' layout and script but got too lazy and ended up doing my usual plain HTML thing. I'll most likely redo the whole thing at the end of year as I take my "flash portfolio website" class so it makes little sense to put too much into the current one.

It'll probably be up after the weekend as I need to rummage through huge drawings and take photos, hrm.

Update #1: The weekend heat wave we had messed with plans. I also discovered I need to buy a HD enclosure for the drive I had used as a backup. It may be possible the drive itself is shot to heck, and if so then I've lost a good amount of artwork over the last 2-4 years that I haven't uploaded or burned to a disc.

Urk, not a pleasant thought...

Yet Another Blog

This puts my blog count up to seven. Though, each of those have vastly different content so I think I'm pretty justified in starting one just for my art/project posts.

So yeah, this is yet another art blog. One that chronicles just how little I actually accomplish in a year. *shifty eyes*
