I love me some Turntable.fm. If you haven't heard of it, basically it's a website where you and chums from the internet can hang out in a room and play music from your own library at each other. Tis pretty clever.
Things I Wish I Knew: Rotate Your Damn Page

Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Drawing
Rotate your canvas or page for maximum comfort if you have to make a perfect curve. Do it for the love of god! I used to expect my hand to be able to draw any sort of line or curve perfectly from any angle, and it usually never worked out very well, but I just kept a blind belief that I needed more practice for it to work.
Your arm is physically designed to flow smoothly in certain motions, and not so smoothly in others (it'll hitch). So instead of trying to force a long smooth movement into your arm going in a unfamiliar direction, just rotate the damn page.
I came to this realization when I started reading stories about how famous inkers would go batshit crazy if they couldn't physically rotate the page they were working on.

Bored. I didn't know what to paint. Wanted to paint an ogre but didn't want to do all the cliche shit. So I painted this. I don't understand. I love you Adventure Time, let's be friends forever. #UnnecessaryOgre
Doodly doodly gook. Fshook. Badook. Man, I am really into drawing weird noses lately. I did this while mostly listening to Les Baxter's "Space Escapade" album, which just sounds like all the amazing weird "WOOORLD OF TOMORROW" type music you would hear back in the 50's.

This is how morning always feels to me.
So I went through a bunch of my old pic posts from 2008-2010 from the LiveJournal days and decided to import them over for the heck of it, so hopefully nothing too crazy exploded as a result. LiveJournal was a charming system, but throwing up giant full screen video ads was the last straw. Exporting anything out of it now is rather painful.

The game I've been helping out on, Super Monday Night Combat, got released a little early last week. It's available on Steam and free to play! Give it a spin and see what you think.
I had some spare moments this weekend so I drew my favorite new character in SMNC, Sir Cheston.

Got sucked into a music tinkering vortex inside Ableton and popped out a tune I'm pretty happy with. Sometimes you just hear a certain instrument and you think "YES, I have to make something with that". For me this time it was the organ.

Been these days working on prototyping several ideas in Unity. It's pretty satisfying to have finally come to a point where I can try out ideas pretty quick. I have one I'd like to post soon but I reckon I should make it a bit more presentable first.
I've also been playing Lone Survivor, an indie survival psychological horror game. I'm in frickin love with the atmosphere in it. The vibes definitely call back to some of the original Silent Hills, with a dash of Twin Peaks. I definitely recommend it if you're into that whole thing. Buy it instead of Silent Hill: Downpour.
In the meantime, random demon happy fun time continues. The coloring on this one sorta came inspired from the Instagram filters. I originally tried taking a picture of the screen and running it through, but it came out looking like blurry bloomsploions in my opinion.
A Post Title!

Here's my finished bit for the Ars Goetia 72 Demons project. If there's demons to be done I'm there!
Special thanks to Mr. Vinod Rams for some great feedback during the final part.

The hardest thing about posting is figuring out what to name the blog titles.
