Apollydermus

He is my creepy bastard child born with creepy eyes and smile and a skin condition, hence the name, and a detatchable wheel and a baby grow... terrifying... -shudders-

Just A Midnight Sketch

So, last night I got propper bored and was listening to good ol' Christopher Drew - Lousy Truth and started to sketch on my little tablet... I got bored half way through so he has no eyes or anything... but I don't think it's too bad... but now I have a set of Christopher Drew shape scratches in my tablet... fun ¬¬

Shortness

So, I'm a bit of a midget - about 5"2.5' give or take a bit... and, well, because I'm a miget I can't reach things above around 6" which is quite a problem... so I my state of constant struggle, I've developed ways to combat this shortness and get, in most cases, things off the top of the fridge - that's where they hide the tea ¬¬... though, I don't have anything wrong with being below the average hight for women... I mean, it makes me seem 'cuter' to most of my male friends and makes them want to protect me (which can be quite humorous at times)... it's just I'd like to be able to reach food or see all the things that all these tall people can see... there must be so much beauty out there that I have yet to experience because I've been hindered by my height... But, on the up side, if I die in an explosion they'll have less pieces to find...

Death By Fridge Cat

I've tried to change my hand writing so you can actually read it ^ ^ Three cheers for me ;)

Anyway, I was talking an old tutor a while back who is completely terrified of cats and fridges, confused I asked why, to find out that a couple of years back, it was a really hot summer's day. So, thinking of the cat, his son put it in the fridge to cool it. When my tutor opened it up to get a drink, a terrified cat jumped out and clung to his fat bald head for about a quater of an hour before they managed to peel it of... Nuff said ;)

Rubik's Cube

So, I was searching through my things today and found a good ol' Rubik's Cube... and, well, I did the thing a stupid person would do and tried to solve it... I was sat on my bed trying to do it for about an hour until I got bored and took off all the stickers... it takes skill to keep the stickers sticky for when you need to put them back on...

In other news, I've started to get really annoyed at the human race - they just can't understand the idea of someone with hair longer than about 10cm that isn't fake.. whenever I do anything with my art there will be at least about a 1:6 ratio of people who will come up to me and ask me if my hair is real before talking to me about proper things... I know that doesn't say much about my artwork... but still, it's just annoying with a load of random people telling me my hair is long, as if I hadn't noticed - I've had it all for a fucking age...

The Duvet Tortoise

So, yes... I think I may be spending too much time hunched over my laptop, covered by a duvet... I seriously do look like a bit of a tortoise but, ugh, I'm so tired... I have so much work I was supposed to have done and I still haven't done it because I really don't have the motivation... I will seriously do anything other than the thing I'm supposed to be doing if it means I'm not doing what I've been told - I'm such a child like that... I have no idea how I'm going to pass my exam... I have no idea how I've passed any of my exams before now... it's a mystery... *plays mysterious music*

The Saatchi Gallery

So this was one of the things I got to look at in the gallery... It was a statue/plaster cast called Down... as much as I hate feet, I thought this was really interesting, made with a box of clay that the artist dug into and the filled with plaster, hence the name "Down"... with a similar sculpture called Up, which was essentually the same, but this time the artist dug upwards rather than downwards.

I thought this one was really clever aswell because, as you can see, it's made up of lost of different patches of colour to create one huge picture...

I can't be bothered to say anymore about the Gallery because I've got kind bored already about chatting art bolox...
So have a fun life,

Thinking

I opened my curtains today, for the first time in a very long while, and just stared at the clouds. I could have been there for hours, just watching. They move surprisingly quickly and it made me think about time... youth. I mean, I've been on this planet for quite a while now and yet it all seems to have moved in one large flash. I can't remember most of it just by thinking and, even with people reminding me, sometimes I can never get back those memories. It's all sort of scary how everything goes so quickly. Soon enough, the time will come when I have a family, work for them and then I'll die of old age, if not before that. Everyday you're alive, you draw one step closer to the inevitable end and it's terrifying. Not the actual death as such, but the nothingness, the unknowing that lies waiting. You end up as a corpse merely rotting in the ground, eaten by maggots. And possible even more terrifying than that is the idea that it goes so fast, there's nothing much you can do in the time between. How do you manage to do something worthwhile in such a short space of time? Like these people who aspire to become famous for no apparent reason, just because they want people to stop them in the streets and go "Oh, you're thingy-mabob"; so that they can get with the famous people they fancy. It's just really shallow. And yet, even when you try to do something completely selfless, it is in fact not selfless at all, because there will always be a bit deep down inside of you that is doing it for the little glow of warmth you get from making someone smile, making a difference in someone's life. Another thing I don't understand, is how people can also be so selfish even if they make themselves out to be a wonderful human being, like men with wives and children who deliberatley cheat because they can and noone questions it because it's become a social norm. I think it's just disgusting: today's society; the human race. We make ourselves out to be the biggest most concious and thoughtful creatures but really, that isn't something to be proud of, because all this conciousness we seem to hold just makes us revolting.

Anyway, I'm done with my rant. I suppose I can't really talk because I'm hardly an angel myself. But now I don't think I'll be able to sleep - I've filled my head with to many things to think about. Ugh.

Have a fun life,

Sleeping

So, I got bored, so I drew a picture of some dude asleep... it was gonna be a kiss... but then I realised that the image size I'd chosen was too small and it would destroy all the work I'd done. Boo hoo hoo... I dunno if I'm going to keep this as a sketch or finish it propperly... it depends on if I can be bothered/have the time/if it actually looks better completed... cos there's every chance I'll ruin it... like that picture of Emma i tried to do... I still haven't finished it because, like, half way through the colouring I realised that her eye was at a reeeeeally wonky angle and HUGE... so I gave up :S

Flying Squirrel

I don't know where this idea came from... But, me and Andraste just thought it sounded like a good one... or, rather, a bad one with a slightly humerous twist, like most of the other things I enjoy doing... me thinks I'm gonna have some squirrel suits to make this month and next ;)...

In other news... I recently discovered Emilie Autumn... well, not discovered, was show the light by my ex-boyfriend... she's weird, but amazing at the same time... sounds a bit like the bastard love child of Amanda Palmer and Sparks... it's quite interesting because she uses propper instruments most of the time - which is ever becoming less and less common in modern music... anyway... here's The Art of Suicide, which is the first one I heard and loved... Willow's a pretty good one aswell...

Sketch

So, I did this a quick 5 minute sketch because I've been thinking about dome of my digital drawings and realised that, because the starting tone of the skins of my people is too light, there isn't much variation in the tones of the skin, making it look too cartoony an quite unrealistic... So, I tried to do a darker base tone and then work over it with many different dark and light shades... personally... I think it came out quite well, considering... but it does look a bit like metal so I'm gonna need to do something about that... maybe reduce the soft edge on the brush or something... maybe make the darker tones less orange and the lighter ones less pure white... or we could just assume that all of the people I draw are very very greasy and ill...  :P

Friday Night!

Yes, so it's finally Friday! Did you all have a lovely week? Mine wasn't too bad in the great scheme of things... I've got quite a lot done... and tonight... I'll probably be having fun... trying not to get pregnant... not getting pregnant... trying not to get more diseases... not getting more diseases...cos I have the skills like that ;)

In other news, I got the third hole on my right ear pierced today... not proffessionally of course... well kind of... a friend called George did it - he's studying to become a tatoo artist and open up a piercings shop :P He's actually really good and uses all the propper equipment, unlike those stupid 14 year olds that think it's ok to do it with a rusty needle and a cheap earing... so now all I have to do is keep it in for a month and then it'll be all good... Although, to be honest, ears repulse me... and I don't see why people would want to look at them... that's why I like to punch holes in mine...
