Minty Musings

Haven’t uploaded anything in a while, so here’s an elf sketch thingy I colored.

perplexingly:

My favourite tragic love story is that of an artist and their art

More Golden Sun sketch fanart things.  Accuracy is for wimps (and for those that have internet and/or original art next to them while doing the sketch, because let’s face it, in game sprites are not the best way to tell what a character is wearing in this series)

So here’s an unamused Jenna:

That is all.

So close and yet so far. 

I was able to get most of my old files up and working on my new computer this week after my hard drive on my old one went caput just before Christmas (no miracles for me ; _ ;), but I did lose about 3 months’ worth of data, and most of that was sadly gift art that I won’t be able to find or get back.

Also, I totally and utterly screwed up installing Adobe’s Creative Suite, which means I now have files hidden deep in my registry that aren’t going away.  Which means I can’t uninstall the programs I installed incorrectly.  Which means no more working versions of Photoshop or Illustrator for me.  Ever.  /cries

(At least on this computer.)

I laughed, cried, fist pumped and watched it twice.

The BEST thing you’ll see all day.

DOPENESS. 

The woman who defeated the troll.

Oh, I love her.

The Viking Way!

Because I can.  >: )

I’ve been “buying” art lately on forum-based websites I frequent in hopes getting rid of items/in-game currency, putting those sites behind me, and concentrating all my effort/free time to the site I’m actually (kinda) working for.  

When buying art, you find that sometimes the art turns out differently than you expect.  Maybe the artist was having an off day, or maybe a stroke of brilliance hit them.

But then I’ll get those pieces which are incredible, with the exception of that one thing that is really, really off .  The head’s too big.  The torso/legs are painfully elongated.  The face looks a little derpy.  

I’m an artist.  I notice these things.  The problem is I’m too damn nice to tell someone that their finished piece is off by just a little bit.  I tell them I love it, and I display it for everyone to see…

and then I fix it in Photoshop, save it, and keep the new “fixed” version private.

Want a tasty meal that’s really rich and unhealthy, super easy to make, and will last you and a friend for about a week? Then you’ve come to the right place!

What you need:
—>1lb (Yes, 1lb! That’s how the boxes in the store come, k?) Pasta of your choice. I usually use bowtie/farfalle, or if I…

This reminds me of collage, and the delicious but probably totally unhealthy stuff you would cook up.  ; w ;  /kinda misses it

By Studio Ghibli, a 7 episode hentai anime about Sai’s school life.

wow ok

By A-1 Pictures, a 500 episode mystery anime about Mint’s hikikomori adventures.

It’s sad because it’s kinda accurate ; w ;

Improvement meme thingy.  Looking at improvement in a purely technical aspect, so I  just traced over the old thing, with significant changes where it was needed.  Really an exercise in digital painting evolution.

Tumblr’s been giving me a case of the nostalgias lately, so here’s some Golden Sun busts I did back in 2010, before Dark Dawn came out.  Old art is old, but still loved, and hey, these guys were a big “ah hah!” moment in digital painting for me, so there’s that too.
