Time came and went, I grew a beard, I lost a beard. I lost a job and I gained a job (the two thoughts are unfortunately related). In the meantime, in the middle of three beautiful months to become a talent I've not touched my tablet, nor illustrator. I've been entirely creatively bankrupt. On a related thought to that, I had my wonderful eye doctor, after celebrating a 5 year anniversary of an important surgery, give me a color-blindness test: I failed with flying colors (ha ha!).

This is all a fitting preamble for this. The colorblindness (which actually puts a lot of my other stuff in context--people always say they liked my choice of colors I have to now wonder if its because they were so contrary they worked as ugly found art), the laziness.. meh. I'm gonna get back into posting, I feel like I'm re-teaching myself to be a mediocre artist again.

I tried a few things here, the first is drawing a 'person' which I hate. I'm anatomically impaired. The other is the obvious "I spent time on this now I'm gonna scribble over it" which, oddly enough I like more than I should.

PS: Hi James, Cody and occasional Temple Fugate. Love postin' at y'all.

The white area makes it look like he's wearing some kind of monocle/glasses combination. It's actually a rather interesting shape.


On a related thought to that, I had my wonderful eye doctor, after celebrating a 5 year anniversary of an important surgery, give me a color-blindness test: I failed with flying colors (ha ha!).If you take a color-blindness test and are determined to be color-blind, then technically wouldn't you have passed?

Ow! Don't hit! Don't hit!

I know someone who isn't exactly color-blind, but color-handicapped. He can see some colors, but sometimes can't tell subtle differences. Red-orange might only appear red to him, and things like that. Strangely enough, he does a pretty decent job coloring his art. He says half of it is guesswork.

white area's intentional, I mean the interior of the hat, there should be hair running into it or else it doesnt really make sense

and yeah, I do a lot of guessing and asking people "uh is this still green?" if I tweak the colors. I've got a pretty thoroughly labeled swatch.
