friday

aaaah, I love costumes! yeah! there were so many cool ones. Bob from Reboot, a girl as a Darlek, a bunch of star trek crew, some Dharma initiative zombies (I think? I am not totally familiar with the show). my friend andrew was iron man the alcoholic. kenneth was a pirate of the itnernet. oh it was good times. I was pretty smiley.

I wonder if we will get kids in costume tomorrow night at our apartment!

Wednesday

I get real nostalgic for Final Fantasy 8. I was playing it a lot and really fell in love with the characters right around when I was 13-14, just as I was moving across the province and graduating to highschool and all that. maybe I'll tell y'all more about it sometime.

feel free to show me some chocobo love down in the comments. or maybe a video game or song from a game that you find especially nostalgic? for me it's definitely this particular song.

monday

This is Cale from the movie Titan AE. I sorta made him look like Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford during the making of these doodles. I'm trying to see if I can adapt to working with someone else's characters and still make them look like they should.

not all that easy for me... I rarely draw the same thing twice. it's hard to get things/people to look like the same thing/person in multiple drawings. hmm.

Canadian celebrity KATE BEATON. she's just awesome as awesome can be. you can find her witty webcomic at www.harkavagrant.com. She's a pretty shy woman, so it's difficult to find a clear photo of her, but I took my reference from a photo of her with a fan, found at this person's flickr. She originates from Nova Scotia and currently lives in... Toronto? I think? anyway. she's a pretty cute person, it seems. 

also, this. http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=81

Among the coolest of dudes, Mister Jay Ingram. He is a tv and radio (and book, and convention, etc) science personality, and he just rocks. He is my Canadian Celebrity for this week, making up for yesterday.
