This brought to mind the whimsy that he must have felt just goofing off and enjoying the simple joy of it, much like how a child would [which I can recognize, since the kids at work do much the same when I see them on that application]. Oh, and by no means am I deprecating this guy for taking silly photos of himself, I just admire the simple joy that it must have brought.

I would see it as a form of nostalgia.

That sentence warrants its own line, for I’ve felt quite nostalgic recently. I don’t know if it is currently the depression I’m denying [which will go away really soon, hooray working out making me happier!] or if it is because of certain actions I have taken due to this depression [hooray cutting ties like raining scissors in the town of hairville!] or even just a reversion that both E-Man and I have noticed in ourselves [he's rediscovering his humanity, being more outgoing, much like he was in high school, whereas I am turtling up, maintaining very few friends, much like how I was in high school], but the nostalgia is there. I’m oftentimes reminded of my past much more lately than previous times.

Perhaps it is my place in life that has made me do this. Returning home, living with family again, facing similar stresses I did before I moved out… actually, some of the stresses are nearly identical…

It is something to look into. I’ll have to keep myself posted.

Not quite finished, as you can tell by the rook’s base, but I was tired and didn’t feel like it. I like the dramatic size embellishment. :-p

There are many more drawings posted at my deviantART Gallery, including the first Pawn vs. Rook drawing, Baby-piloted War Machine, Fairy Girl and Two Mushrooms, HASBOT vs. UCX, Top Hat Guy Dismount, Knight Girl and Knight Girl in Action.

Request from work. Not to look like any particular child, but still just a request. I like how i did the hair, if not only for its style. Kinda sorta reminds me of Kurotsuchi’s headdress hair thing, as well as a lion’s mane.

Soon to come [mainly because I left it at work] is a drawing of a girl with nearly the exact same face and hair, but a lollipop wielder, also, by request, after another little girl saw me drawing this. :-p

A request from work. Another child wanted to be drawn as something, and this lil Jenna wanted to be a fairy, so here she is. She looks surprisingly accurate to the child I drew it for, so it is a point of pride with this piece.

I’ll be honest, I was a smidge inebriated when drawing this, hence the poor quality, but, through beer goggles, it looks all right, and I dunno, I liked the pose.

A request from work. Yes, my styling as of the past few works I’ve posted have looked more and more anime. I’ve been sick and been watching a TON while resting and relaxing in an effort to get better. Anyhoo, I work with kids, and one of the kids wanted me to draw him, but as nothing in particular, so I drew him with a gun, and ridiculous muscles. He likes it, so that’s all that matters. Oh, and it looks like him a bit, too. I’m getting good at drawing anime versions of children. :-p

What do I name my hard drives!?!?

Back when I was a one-drive chump, I just gave it a name. Names are given to singular entities all the time, so it was no biggie. Then, a second hard drive came along! I was deep within playing Final Fantasy Tactics, and a chapter title stood out in my mind which is reminiscent of drive classification [master or slave], so I named them after chapter two: Manipulator and Subservient. With three, I’m sure I named them something related to a group of three, I don’t quite remember, however with four, I named them after the three musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan. I thought it was clever.

Then six came along. I thought long and hard, and decided on naming them after the quarks: Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top and Bottom.

But now with seven… oh it’s too easy to be cliche about it. Funny thing, though, as I was typing out this post, I got sidetracked in the middle of doing so, and returned to this. As I resumed, I thought of the names for my seven drives: the Seven Words of Power from Stephen R. Donaldson’s epic novel series: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant I, II and the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. He needs to finish that series already!
