A Knuckle to the Eyeball and Storm King

In the place of wandering off to a Black Friday shopping mess with the ever so thrilling expectation of being trampled upon and pushed by complete strangers, the HOchieS with Luuuiiissss, TD5 and a gaggle of children went off to Storm King's Art Center.  It was the sensible thing to do! And we did not even need a knuckle to the eyeball to help us think.

Frankly, we've never actually gone Black Friday shopping.  Or maybe there was that one time TD5 and Luuuiisss went...but since then, and even at that time, it's been all about Black Friday shopping at the Happiest Place on Earth - Amazon.com.

No, no.  It's not Disney, fools.  I thought we discussed this already?

It was a brilliant day on Friday weather wise.  It was sunny (alright, that's not brilliant for me but brilliant for photo taking opportunities, if I must), and not a biting cold November day and it was in fact, the perfect sort of day to walk the acres at Storm King.

So a-walking we went.

Life and Art

Art, imitating Life

or was it?

Life, imitating Art - Body-Posing Support Guy?

I'm not sure, but whatever it was...Life did not appreciate being Art.

That was one bad-assed cut-eye from being photographed.  

Yeesh.

Updated Zarnyx

Using the term loosely, I "shaded" Zarnyx. Maybe next time I will add "colour". I'm taking liberties with that word.



Currently listening to: "Roku Maboroshi Hatsudou" by Wada Kaoru, from the D. Gray-Man Original Soundtrack I. Ahh, goo'd times.

Same grain of pencil on Corel using the Wacom. It's Zarnyx again.

Wacoming Quickly

I've been trying to draw Sariel all night.
I just spent about 2 hours just doodling and erasing.
I prefer to call it practice than failure but who am I kidding?

Finally I said eff this and did a really quick thing and discovered the power of the paint bucket. Ah, filling with paint is goo'd times.



I love my retarded Dragon. Heehee.

Doin' Stuff II

I still have not mastered that WACOM but I'm happy with this shart I made tonight.

I present to you, Zarnyx.



Yes, I am still aware that I can't draw hands for crap for crap.

MC's F-art

Thanksgiving is a little more than a week away.

Anticipating that his antics would be greatly missed, MC was kind enough to grace us with MC-isms that will help tie us over this year.

Although the display of his work on this blog may be completely unauthorized, we don't care too much about what he thinks but we were thoughtful enough to examine his work as he asked.

First, his "Circle of Me":



Which to me, looks more like a circle of deer, in a paintball contest, in a gddh fest while peeing on a...what is that? a fire hydrant?

Second, his "A Very Valuable Lesson That I Have Learnt In Life":



Which to H1, looks like love is a one way street that goes over the Brooklyn Bridge.

MC, you asked us to "be kind" but The HOchies only grade truthfully.

Sometimes the truth can be harsh.

The HOchieS can be kind sometimes, and sometimes not so much.

Your Grade:

F-

Memorable moments and quotes of the evening:

Before viewing your work carefully,

H1: he gets an F--


After viewing your work carefully,

H1: ...is there anything lower than an "F--"?

Lou: Yeah, a "Z".
