Sketch a Day, Day 91

I'd thank all the little people, but what've they done for me?

So I guess the Oscars are tonight? I dunno, I won’t be watching.

However! However, I was nominated for something called a Versatile Bloggers’ Award by Tippeh, which I thought was quite lovely even though I’m not really at all sure how it’s supposed to work or if I have to make a speech or something. I certainly hope there’s no getting dressed up involved.

Sketch a Day, Day 89

I like the idea or repairing reality with a hammer.

Several years back, my friend Chad kicked a webcomic idea my way about a guy (I can’t recall the character’s name now, sadly) who was a reality repairman. I loved the idea, and I did a few initial character sketches, but nothing ended up coming of the project because (1) I couldn’t manage my time and (2) I was actually busy as hell working full-time, just getting into my relationship with the woman who would become my wife, and taking graduate classes to earn my teaching license. And I was still doing Crooked Halo, so I had a pretty full plate.

So this sketch is based (loosely) on what I recall of the original character design. I still love the idea of him having kind of a frat-bro look about him, with the casual-looking-but-it-actually-took-effort hair and the douchey goatee thing. Also, I had this idea that he’d probably solve most of his problems with a hammer. What? It’s not any less-probable than the Doctor fixing everything with that screwdriver of his, sonic or otherwise.

Yup, that looks about right.

Today was President’s Day, so there was no school. I went in to work anyway and managed to get quite a lot done. I also, not coincidentally, took my Adderall today for the first time since Friday, and the results were pretty awesome.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned about my ability to fall asleep at a reasonable hour tonight. I’d already messed up my sleep schedule over the long weekend, and the Adderall usually keeps me up late, and I didn’t take it until late this morning, so…yeah, I may be awake at 4:00 AM.
