A Big Sword, Jesse & James, Christina.

Flash news: with the aid of a providential solderer and with a bit of luck, I managed to resurrect my mouse. Let's see how much it will last. I'll be getting the Naga anyway, too late to back down now!


I've been drawing a lot nowadays, and I've started not only to do the editing, inking, coloring, etc. but also to realize my own sketches and artworks. You can see an example upside.

While I feel comfortable drawing weapons, and I am happy with the result of the sword as example, with characters, and in particular, with humans, I still have a long way to walk.

There are many imperfections I want to get rid of, but among them all, I had particularly troubles with her violet hair. I am now trying to learn different tecniques to make them look better, I'll quote here an opinion from Stephie (she's a really good artist): "the body is not bad but the hair looks like Jesse and James from Pokemon, one solid object". And as sad as it is, I have to agree, and try harder, also 'coz, beside that for the game, I have a few ideas I want to draw, but first I need to improve, a lot.

I'll conclude this small blog post (It's almost 2 am but I still have a lot of things to do...and to draw :) ) with the lyrics of the song that is currently set (I just set it) as first one in the blog's music player.

I'm talking about Hurt, *sung* by Christina Aguilera. It's not a recent song, it's from 2006, and I distractly listened to it several times during the last years, but I never remembered to get ahold of it. Now I did, and I think I understand it a little better.



Hurt

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you
but I know you won't be there


I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day,
I would tell you how much that

I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself
By hurting you
