#drawtober got put on hold

[blanc-ci]

Thinking a lot about my wife and how much I miss him

(I draw a lot of K/S that are just fused TOS and AOS so I wanted to draw out how Bones was fused in my brain)

Kind of a drawtober thing. <- Previous

14. Schemes

“Everyone’s clear on the plans then, or do we have to go through it all once more time? Xial, Plax, Udeex, Slag? We good then? Yeah? Great. Tomorrow night we’ll be rich. Just don’t start spending anything until the job’s done.”

“Why you looking at me?”

“Your new eyes, Plax, I know how expensive they are, I got the same ones.”

“I saved up good money for these implants, plus I thought they might be helpful for the job, you know, targeting system, night vision, I can even read the small print on the screen, on your desk, across the room from here.”

“Okay, yeah, does sound like a good upgrade for a lookout. Right, anyone got questions before we rest up for tomorrow?”

“Why are the times different?”

“Who said that?”

“Me.”

“Holy crap, it talks.”

“Shut it, Udeex. What’s wrong with the times, Rocket?”

“The notes. The times for the patrols changed.”

“What do you mean? Give me the pad… looks the same to me.”

“Further back.”

“Further back we got… okay, different patrol times here. And no change in times before then. Plax, you ever going tell me about this?”

“It’s not big of a deal.”

“You understand how tight the timing is for everyone?”

“Yeah, but it won’t matter.”

“Yeah, it will. We planned on the original patrol schedule. Look at this, patrol five, by the time they reach the doors, patrol eight will already be at the vents.”

“Uhm.”

“Plax. Look at me. Were you planning something?”

“No, of course not, it’s just a little mistake in the times, that’s it.”

“Xial, Udeex, hold him.”

“Wait no, I wasn’t planning anything, I swear!”

“You say that, but every time you do, your heart rate spikes. Oh, didn’t you know the implant can pick up lies? Works great for a scrap dealer, makes sure people don’t screw me over. Now tell me, are you trying to screw me over?”

“Jurk, boss, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m all in with everyone here.”

“Wow, two lies after each other. One more and we’ll how see easy we can pluck out those implants. Maybe see if we can access their recent history, have a look at what you were looking at the past few days.”

“No don’t! I tell you the truth! It’s a setup! Topaz paid me!”

“Topaz? The Grandmaster’s Topaz, that Topaz?”

“Yeah! They’re planning capturing everyone during the heist.”

“Okay. I…”

CLICK.

”I appreciate your honesty.”

BLAM!

“…”

“Now what, Boss?”

“Now nothing. They’ll be waiting for us tomorrow. And if not tomorrow, the day after. The job’s a bust. Year’s worth of planning.”

“Flark.”

“Yeah. Okay, we better start scrapping all evidence, Topaz will probably send her guards this way if we don’t show up tomorrow.”

“What about tonight?”

“What’s that, Rocket?”

“They’re not expecting it tonight, are they?”

“Don’t think so… Slag, yank his eyes out and access them.”

“ ’Kay, Boss.”

“Look for all the contact that Plax had with Topaz.”

“Whoa, several meetings with her, boss. Looks like they were putting as much planning on the capture as you had for the heist.”

“You don’t say.”

“What you thinking, Boss?”

“I think we better gear up, taking flight in five minutes. We got a job to do tonight.”

Blog 13: A Dollar Early

I'm writing this a day early. I thought of a joke for my "finish a book everyday" challenge I started on the 15th. I have 8 books open right now, 3 or 4 of them I'm seriously edging. I read plenty of books, it doesn't really matter what I think of them. I know I talk about essays, but frankly every book is not that remarkable. What's up with "Angels Don't Knock!" do you really have to DIE to be a happy wife? EVEN if you don't settle for the boring rich guy? The publisher is explcitly religious but at least they're not Mormon. I might just not read all 4 of these, yet they have a little charm. The recap is seriously lazy, copy pastes sections from the previous book, which is good because I have books 1, 2, 4, and 6, out of seven or eight, but it doesn't matter maybe... I'm one of those "you have Roald Dahl on the shelf?" booktokers where I feel like things will subtly rot the brain. I got rid of that 1997 Millennium Meltdown book because it had more conspiracy theories than just the MM. Fearless by Fern Micheals also rubbed me the wrong way, and the twist at the end just made the characters feel underutilized.

I just finished Sarah Lotz Missing Person, I think I only have one more book by her to read. The White Road is still my favorite horror novel. If you were a Homestuck kid, you might love Missing Person!

I drew this week! I'm trying to get ready for Drawtober I suppose.

I also started another writing project so now I have something I can pit against that ghost hunter fantasy. The thing about the new project is its just a revival of something I started in highschool and I would love a peak at the old draft, but I never pried the harddrive out of my old laptop. And the track pad on this one is getting finnicky... It better straighten up. How old is "old" for a laptop?

So anyways, on Thursday I cleaned. On Friday I swung by the library and then followed signs to a yard sale (it was Friday/Saturday because they had football games to watch on Sunday) and met the people there and even got a phone number. That's because I found a piece of furniture I've been needing and it was so perfect I asked them to hold it so my mom could help me put it in her car. I have just a sedan. I also got a great bedside lamp to hopefully cut down on screentime, and a painting of my aunt's favorite painter for only $2. Of course it looks better in person. As well as about 12 pulp romances.

Then I went to the store where my mom was shopping to see if she wanted to get lunch. I tried to just surprise her by sneaking up on her but it turned out she was at the one 1 freeway exit away so I'd wasted like half an hour. Freaking parking lots! We got Mexican. On Sunday the neighbors came over and we put up Halloween decorations. Monday this week was much better than last week. On Tuesday I ran a poll to see whether to go to the library or the pool but made a little time for both! It's gonna be hot tomorrow but I might not have time for it. But, like, an hour is fine, sometimes. It's all about getting over the "peeling off a damp bathing suit after" thing.

Drawtober-Inktober-Drawlloween-Monster-Sketch-Prompt-Thing - 05 of 31 - Huntress 🏹🦹‍♀️ . . All that talk about getting up early and getting doing early didn’t work today. I mean I was up early doing other stuff because I totally anticipated this sketch to take at max, 30min , like the other ones, but nope. It took way too long for me too get to this point. I got way too into my head with it, way too stiff and blah. I had to erase a lot – like when it was fine but for some reason, I thought it needed adjusting, which then caused more adjusting needed, which then it looked good, and then adjusted it again. And it was a cycle. SMH! I forgot about just sketching for fun. Especially since this one is based on a character I like – which was most likely part of the problem. I was going into it trying to make her different and perfect and based off of memory, but then because of that, I made her look super weird, so sometimes you just gotta go back to basics and use the reference that you should have done in the first place to make her look like the actual character. I still put my own spin on her design/layout/etc. like I wanted to, but I wasn’t going into it native and blindly. Plus, just design/illustrate smart. This isn’t supposed to be super detailed and a masterpiece, and that’s what I was trying to do, which ruined the experience. Lesson learned!!! [Gotta yell at myself a bit and hold myself accountable otherwise I’ll do it again. Which I still might lol, but then I can double-‘yell’ at myself to knock some additional sense in me!] 💀  .  . Anyways, here’s Huntress! (And, just so you all know, I already picked out the colors of the blocks for all 31 posts, but don't pick out what prompt I do until the day of. Love how the Creature was Green and the block, and then Huntress is purple and so is her block!!) 💯 . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #monsterdrawingclub #dungeondegenerates #drawlloween #drawlloween2019 #designer #graphicdesign #ninazivkovic #illustrator #artdirector #pittsburgh #pittsburghillustrators #inspiration #designerlife #moody #designinspiration #badass #dailysketch #womenofillustration #ladieswhodesign #freelance #huntress #thehuntress #dc #dceu (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3P-qUCBEFj/?igshid=8ltf0h7neejm
