An Adventure In Handwriting

I was trying to come up with an interesting way to write the blog's name on the new banner, so I just wrote the title with a really big brush, then erased the rounded edges and acute angles, and made the closed off areas into circles. I really liked the outcome, so today's drawing shows what the other 18 letters would look like using that technique.

Mad Maxx

My cat was sleeping earlier today, and was making a very sinister face, so I took a picture of her, rotated it to the left, and drew some arms on it (something you can see here). The result turned out so strange that I had to make it a full-fledged drawing based on it.

PAH PAH PAH POKER FACE

This BTI album thing continues today. Ever since that episode of South Park, a lot of people have been waiting for Lady Gaga to show up on Rock Band. Today it's been confirmed that four of her songs will be DLC next week, along with Cartman's rendition of Poker Face (woo!).

Getting off topic, why the heck are there not more South Park songs available in Rock Band? There's just this and that Timmy song in RB1. There could be several track packs for Chef's songs alone - I bet that fruity little club he was in has something to do with them not seeing the light of day.

So Loosely Illustrated

Today I drew the cover of the White Zombie album La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Volume One. It samples a lot of quotes from Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, though I listened to this album before watching the movie, so the movie quickly became game of "find the quotes they used" (it was still good, though).

Name Five Things That Are Not Hitmonchan

A while back, I made a drawing of Machoke setting up Mr. Mime for the Kinniku Buster. Recently, someone commented on that drawing, requesting I do a similar one, except with Hitmonchan in Mr. Mime's place. The reason they gave for this was that you'd probably be able to see up the Punching Pokémon's skirt in that position, causing of some sort of Japanese pun (パンチ | パンチラ). I was a bit reluctant for a few reasons, such as:

1. I kinda thought Hitmonchan just had really baggy shorts.
2. All Hitmonchans are male.

Actually, the second reason made the thing funny enough to get me to actually draw it.

A Frozen Point In Time

It's a very cold lazy day today. I started playing Baten Kaitos at some time this afternoon, and next thing I know, it's 5 and I haven't eaten or drawn anything in a while, so I fixed this problem by taking a break and drawing this.

New ImPokédex - Wailmer

Wailord is over 40 feet long, making it an extremely impractical Pokémon. Perhaps not as much as the ones that constantly emit poisonous gas, but cumbersome nonetheless.

California Pizza Kitten

I was at California Pizza Kitchen today, and picked up a small pamphlet which listed all of their locations. Needless to say, I was outraged by the lack of cats in it.

Switching Back

This album cover drawing project continues today with Celldweller's first album. From what I gather, it chronicles some guy stuck in some sort of metaphorical and/or physical cell. Alright, I'm not entirely sure what it's about, but it sounds awesome.

Most of these albums will be ones that I listen to often or have neat-looking covers. If you want to request one, I'll consider drawing it.

An Album Cover

Following yeterday's bad experience with shuffling my iTunes library, I decided to listen to some albums the entire way through. I then got the idea to start a new thing for BTI, in which I recreate various album covers to the best of my ability. The first one, which I'm listening to at the moment, is an ODB classic. Expect more of these in the near future.
