Henohenomoheji
Continuing the spirit of bad calligraphy in Japanese class, I present: a henohenomoheji. Honestly, I only did this because none of my attempts at *real* calligraphy turned out very well. lol.

Te Inveniam (Draft)
Obligatory plug for Harmony of a Hunter: 101% Run: it's fantastic! Especially the song (by the same name) that inspired this piece. Fucking Metroid opera, it can't get cooler than that.

Some Characters from Quadropheniac
Hi there. Turns out I can still hold a pencil. How about that. Have some character sketches. Probably won't have much more until winter break (a few weeks from now).
Also, funny story: I'm FINALLY writing Quadropheniac (a story that's been bouncing around in my head for ages), but not in the way I planned... originally, it was going to be a comic, told from Jace's perspective. Now, thanks to the Intro to the Short Story class I'm taking, it's a short story told from Ezra's perspective. I'll still probably do the original at some point, but this has been an interesting experiment. I might upload the finished version to dA when it's... you know, finished. Until then, random people that stumble upon my ramblings!

Drawings from 2AM
My mind goes strange places sometimes.
(The scanner cropped out some stuff on this one. Oh well.)
1. I really wanted to draw something, so I just thought, "I'll draw the first two characters I can think of." And those two characters turned out to be... Rin Tezuka and Kay. Um. Yeah. I decided that Rin would take an inexplicable liking to Kay, and Kay would absolutely not be cool with it.
2. Yeah, I've been playing Metroid Prime 2 a lot lately. From here on, brace for extreme levels of fanboyishness.
So yeah, wouldn't it be funny if one of the Amorbi was a girl, and was super-friendly and apologetic about her brothers trying to eat Samus? Yeah, I don't think so either. Don't know where this silly idea came from.
3. I love reading the Lore in MP2-- especially that heartwarming story about a Space Pirate that was lonely and had no friends (I'm extrapolating that bit), so he tried to make a Metroid into a pet. He'll be recovering basic brain functions in about a cycle.
Also special appearance by Caboose.
4. Close-up on a Space Pirate. Not exactly pretty, but I've never drawn one before. I love how organic their armor looks; at first I thought those spikes on his shoulders were part of his body, but some kinds of Pirates don't have them, so they must be strapped on... or maybe GROWN on... hmm...
5. Fucking Shriekers.
I love the sheer creativity in Retro Studio's enemy design, even if it goes a little overboard sometimes, like it did with the Shrieker. That thing is like a Metroid enemy swiss army knife. It has leaves! It can fly! It can turn invisible! It can shoot tornadoes at you! Buy one today!
6. One of my favorite bits of background info in Torvus is that the little eye-like things on the walls are actually cameras, and U-Mos is using them to keep an eye on you. But even better, those things exist in the Dark World, too-- and they're basically indestructible. So the Ing have had to go about their daily business, pissed as hell that the Luminoth are watching them, but unable to do anything about it. lol.
7. Warrior Ing need more love. I demand a plushie version, or at least a cute chibi mascot version.
8. In keeping with my slightly bizarre trend of making MP2 enemies look cute, this was supposed to be a couple of Inglets holding tentacles, until the scanner cropped 'em out. Pity; now it looks like they're... um... OH GOD MY EYES.
