DOODLEDOODLEDOODLE

Despite what you'd think from the crude drawings which litter this page, I really like drawing and studying art! And stuff! My whole life, I've always loved to draw and create stuff. (seems like I've been writing a lot of "my whole life" introductions... pay no mind!) I got my start doing stuff like doodling and drawing bizzare comics with my friends during elementary school while we should have been working on learning fractions. Some weird, weird, stuff went down in those comics, like alien Reeses Puffs cat wars and combustible crocodile swagger. If I still had some of those comics, I'd show them here, because I strongly believe they were 12-year-old me's magnum opus, but unfortunately, they have been lost to time and the trashcan. Rest in peace to my favorite little knockoff Kirby, oddly named Marker Crayon, and the comics we drew of him. It seems the world was not ready for his divine grace.

While I haven't really done comics in a long time, today I still really like drawing! To the point where I procrastinate on schoolwork in order to go doodle whatever pops into my head. It's a problem. But, alas, there's simply too many cool ideas in this world and too little time. Though I've tried to study and get better at art quite a bit over the years, I'm not going to say I've ever really considered art as a career, because I haven't, and that's because I only like doing things until I actually HAVE to do them. As you are seeing with how late I am turning this in. I am sorry. But look! Drawings! By me! Quick! Look, before you start thinking about how terribly, horribly, late I am!

A bird... thing? Something. At least the colors look nice, methinks.

A crocodile! Alligator! Something between those two! Big eyes to stare into your soul with.

One I'm working on! Lamprey in a labcoat.

Drawings aside, I also have a lot of fun needle felting. Now, while the products of needle felting are cute, the process itself is... violent, to say the least? In order to make the cute little animals out of wool, you must use a stick with a bunch of barbed needles on it in order to repeatedly stab the poor thing's face in until it gets deformed into shape. And stab its eyeballs into its body via digging out holes in it's face with the needle then screwing them in. Then attaching all of it's limbs via this same method of stabbing. For around 3 hours. And there's a good chance you'll accidentally jab yourself in the finger too, multiple times.

At least the end result is kinda cute, though.

(time to wriggle on back!)
