More sketch and lineart to come... Honestly my goals are to get 50 fanart watercolor pieces completed and set up in my journal. 50 OC watercolor illustrations. 25...? Maybe 50 (ugh) colored pencil illustrations. I say ugh as, I have only become more anal in my time working, so where previously colored pencils was relaxing... now I like the blending variety too much and what once took a long day... now takes weeks x_X ANYWAY! Then, maybe mixed media on cardstock like my kids book series that people love? Input is AAAAAALWAYS welcome. Heh. 50 GIMP illustrations, then need to print to have the prints available for purchase and browsing in general... Hoping stock variant of cards, inb any capacity... 10 new styles of earrings, (hoping!), magnets... 2 new New Hampshire illustrations, 4 new Cape, and maybe 5... Massachusetts? I have yet to paint my homestate... but it just... doesn't quite take my breath away always. I have definitely seen some glorious times... but not always. So, we will see. Blelelele. More to come? Hoping? Things getting a bit tricky as my parents health has spiraled down. Full admission, they always have fought an uphill battle. But as of recently both of their longterm ailments? Have spiraled out, and aquired friends... as pope luck has it. So I am painting fanatically when I can! But... a bit frazzled. Any requests, comments, and the like are always lovely. Thank you!

So for those new. I am Tzigane. I like painting, drawing, doodling... basically my a.d.d hyperactivity is fine tuned to my hands. I wish I was kidding on that, it results in some interesting quirks of character... ANYWAY! Just trying to see who is still keeping an eye out and looking for feedback! What would you like to see more of? As my facebook page is all crickets... which is where I turned away from drawings OC's... The most responses get the vote! Or... I will use your feedback as a distraction from the projects I am supposed to do... and do them all! Please let me know!

Sorry for the hiatus. I go through periods of not drawing or... arting in any shape or form. Sometimes it is to get back into writing, sometimes it's music... othertimes. I just don't make anything.  ANYWAY!

I am hoping to crank out at least 1 art a day.... or so. I just had a big craft fair that ended in steaming hell. So... not quite back to my cranking. BUT! Getting there. Working on organization at the moment.

GOALS AT THIS POINT!
- Have Birthday and Fathers Day FOP I need to do
- Restock earrings
- Paint a new NH landscape
-Comissioned tree...

I like having different projects running so I am less tweaked out on hyper focusing... SO! If I start to get frustrated with one thing, just switch. Any ideas of middleground doodles?

>> SO! My main computer has a super shitty internet link... So even though I have a scanner and its all nice... -.- Its hooked up to the desktop... Then you may ask why don't I just pull it out and hook it up to the laptop if I will never use the desktop? It has like 9 tiewraps. Ask John I don't know. Man loves tiewraps. So it involves huddling under my desk and trying tot cut off 9 tiewraps. >< But I don't really want to take pictures of my finished products... because I feel it doesn't do them justice... SO! We shall see.

Anyway... other news other news... >> Honestly wanted to do pin ups of all the bad guys in the BG series... started as drawing Carla and Rose and was like ERMAHGERD! But... how the fuck does one draw male pin ups... See this is why I don't objectify men as much as I do women I like guys... just don't get all jittery at the thought of a guy posing in a mankini. I will drool for a man in a suit... a button-down and jeans. NOM! >> But thats just... seeing them its not like he is flexing... or any shit. I find that... kind of tacky. SO HOW DO I DRAW THAT! And ps looking up anything on Deviantart for hints is a terrible idea because 90% is porn. -.- Plus... one of the guys is bony. And if you look up scrawny guys. You get all sorts of like scrawny guy fettishists and its like REALLY?! I am working on understanding bodies. Male torsos. Less bulked with muscle... But no. -.- I tried one just freehand but no. DISLIKED. sigh

Also... still working on poor Hemlock2009's character sketch. >> Its more clothes than I've drawn on someone in a while. Which sounds weird but clothes are kind of my nemesis. Some people are good at drawing folds in fabric. I never payed any attention to that. When doodling I draw the naked body. Not even in detail just with no bulk, folds... its just a doodle so I find it intimidating. >> So I hope she knows I actually have been working with it. Just don't want to fuck it up -.- and my hands hate me. >< Glad I haven't gotten hate mail

LASTLY! Talk of doing other tutorials. Its true. Several people. I am pretty sure the people who were not looking at the boob tutorial for tutorialness... asked I do... other bits. -.- And honestly that was what I was going to do. People do faces, eyes, lips... and I mean most people have a face, lips or eyes. So even if theres is a little different... You can get an idea. Butts. Female butts and male butts actually tend to look different. I think bubble butts are an exception... >> Dunno never compared now I think of it. ANYWAY! The problem being. I am busty. >> Absurdly so... but don't have a badonkadonk. Why I am mentioning this is. People understand less when things get bigger. If you understand the human skeleton or even have dolls. You get an idea for smaller sizes. But big boobs or butts. Where do you look? I may try looking up different pictures of other people... to try and give range because honestly big butts have variety. Are the butts big because the gal has wide hips but her butt is flat? Does she just put her weight on the bottom half which would mean she also would posess thicker thighs... Does she have a bubble butt? Is she an athlete?! The ass is actually a huge muscle. Not that all girls have it developed as muscle mass but for those people arguing super heroine bums. Actually considering their athletic level a badonkadonk is likely. Look at a nike go girls add. There are a bunch. ANYWAY! I am playing with it... Any other tutorial suggestions NOT PERVERTED -.- Just genuine curiousity and I may try at that as well. I try explaining in multiple ways because everyone learns in different ways *head explodes*

So. I don't know if this is known about me. I don't like people. When I meet them? Maybe. But typically I find males and females to be less desirable... I get along with men better. Except when they fit the stereotype of being unthinking pigs. HOWEVER! I am far from a feminist. In fact. I find most irritating. YES women need rights. I think jobs dominated by women should get better pay. Social work? Teaching? Brutal jobs. Important jobs. For not enough pay. I LIKE BEING ABLE TO VOTE! I am political. I also like deciding if I want to wear a skirt, pants or dress. And... I could never burn my bra. Or even wear a bra with no underwire. Not for vanity but for public safety... my own health!... and okay a bit of vanity. Anyway. When someone starts picking fights about some things. It irritates me. Most things in life do... but in this case I thinking more. All men are evil pigs. Well alright all women are useless layabouts. Not true? Well then stop and think a second about judging an entire group. Don't claim feminism. Its bias. Its hatred. Discrimination. I hate humans till I meet them... but I am not about to say clever things like. Porn sexually exploits women. Comic books sexually exploit women... Video games sexually exploit women...

Porn. Really sexually exploit? What gave the first hint? Their legs being open? Seriously. Porn and hentai actually... tend to be specific. However. Society makes it so sexual women is frowned upon. The guy may appreciate it but if something goes wrong she is a slut. To other women? She is a slut. If a girl even mentions sexual things. It means that is what she is looking for. On the same note though. If a guy mentions sex. A gal assumes he is trying to get into her pants. However my point... male dominated society. What is going to be accessible on the television more often? Good old fashioned true blue porn for men. Nothing edgy. Things that stereotypical men like. There is however porn that is for women. (Not just like the awesome joke Girls With Slingshots made about a unicorn...) I know... not even because I looked because I know some guys who prefer the idea of a girl not moaning fake and loud and just jumping a guy...

COMIC BOOKS! My favorite... is when someone makes a snippy comment about comic books... AND THEY DON'T EVEN FUCKING READ THEM! My oldest sister is a feminist. A... men suck feminist even. She doesn't make comments about comic books. She reads them.Comic books for me... is where separate but equal comes in. Not the racist separation way... I mean men and women are different. Fact... men's bodies more naturally develop muscle. Fact. women can withstand more pain than a man. Fact losing weight takes longer on a woman. Facts... it takes men... as long as it takes them to finish to make a baby and women... more like 2 years. (counting time a baby is actually a defenseless... useless little thing. Don't argue. Until a baby can talk its brain is filtering thousands of different sounds to figure out speaking. However due to that. human babies don't do anything... its all their mommies) Now. Why I am saying that. Think about this. Male models versus female models. Each... flaunt their assets. Women models, thrust their chests out, their asses... pout their lips. Do what is idealized in women. For men and women both. Girls who have no curves get implants... cup inserts.... wear additional padding. To mask it. Girls with curves... wear corsets, spanx... to try and look thinner...with their curves. Now male models. Do not thrust their asses out and pout their lips. They flex their muscles. Show off their abs. Or their shoulders. Nom. A male is "supposed" to have wide shoulders... big muscles...etc etc... SO! What would happen in a comic book. What would they do? THE SAME FUCKING THING. Lord. If I hear another complaint. About female superheroes being sexually expolited I may beat my head into the desk.

Next point of my argument. Warriors. Rogues. (Yes I am dorking it up) Warriors. What do they wear? TYPICALLY huge armor. Thick, heavy. They use muscle. Broadsword, greatsword, claymore... big swords that take huge swings. Less accurate? Slower? But one hit from that shit and you are humped. A rogue? Wears light armor. Thinner. Maybe less in general. They sneak and slip in to dive a knife in your back. How is this related? Well my delightfully bored readers. Male superheroes... WHEN they wear more. Such as Batman more Frank Miller style... more protection... also generally huge. >> other than that...? Wear freaking spandex! It covers everything... But most male super heroes are requiring strength not speed. Notice the humongous muscles on them? Now females. Typically. Due to the smaller muscle... rely more on speed or powers. But powers... require timing as well. >> But no. Men and women. MUST BE THE SAME! I don't see anyone arguing about guys wearing skirts. If a guy wears a skirt he is a queer. >>... Even kilts!... I'm sorry... actually my gay friends weren't rushing for skirts. They were pretty happy in pants that made their ass look cute, legs look longer... Drag queens? Yes. But just every gay guy. That is judgmental to both the gay... and the straight guy wearing a skirt.

Now. I think some of the female costumes are insane. But... I actually don't read comic books for the outfits... sorry. I read em for the epic fights... characters... and sometimes the unique play. Marvel. X:Men. Rogue is... one of the most sexually driven ladies. But can't touch anyone. Nightcrawler looks like a demon but is possibly the most human!

Alright. Next piece to comic books. That their bodies are ridiculous. Someone offered an argument from comic book creations even. That their bodies are modeled after Olympic athletes. Someone sent an irritated retort with actual Olympic athletes... A little less boobful. SO! Lemme break it down. Olympic athletes. Typically are for life. To be the best in your country. To get to represent your country is typically... a lifelong pursuit. FACT! A girl's... development is delayed by muscle mass... exercise. My older sister was a swimmer. Not even an Olympic level but she got hulking shoulders, a sixpack on her back... and didn't get higher than a b cup. Till highschool... and that was when she dropped swimming. So. If these supergals started at the start. Sure. You coulod argue that. But some are naturally strong (Supergirl, power girl, she-hulk, Rogue (after some power theft... but still counts) Also. Quite a few are already women. Their powers pop up. Or they decide to fight crime. So if that... happened... then factor in olympic legs... arms and ass. It factors. Also. >> You don't see many scrawny men...? No guys complain! No guys understand. Comic books are a means of escape. Who wants to look at a fatty or flanbby in spandex and have him lose to his arch nemesis because one nacho too many as opposed to the new ultimate death machine. Ideally. MEN HAVE WIDE SHOULDERS WOMEN HAVE AN HOURGLASS FIGURE. Facially?! Society is most attracted to big eyes, big lips a small nose and apple cheeks.... no arguments there. Just heaven forbid a kid's idol has curves.

Now. here is my problem. I have tits. I always felt like nothing had enough. Cartoons? I never saw them. They were there. I just felt like the less boobed outweighed the boobed. Anime? People spewed over Rukia who has the curves of a 12 year old boy.... romantic anime/manga? I cannot read. The story is always. But I am skinny plain... and not so boobful. I have figured it is my own bias though. Now I would like people to just mix it up. Or not mention it. Hearing every five seconds I am skinny plain and not so boobful... makes it hard to relate to a boobful gal... as much as every five seconds a girl going. OH BUT MY MASSIVE HEAVING BOSSOM... Just shut up either way...

Which leads to video games... How? Because in rpgs... which used to be all I played... You can't change boobsize. Sounds dumb? But... I always make my first character look like me. I'm lame like that. But next. If they do allow boobsize... they don't jiggle. >> As a female. I found that distracting personally. But after Highschool of the dead. I guess I can see how boob physics could be distracting from the story... but why can't there be a happy medium? Or a happy medium for shapes? But no once again. Angry women storm the castle if that occurs

So frankly. Maybe things are sexually exploiting? But I feel that's not so. I feel like its aspects of fantasy. In my rpgs... I want it to be 100% me! :3 Just like the girl who is less endowed may... or maybe she wants to amp it up... like I would love to make my ass actually noticeable. >> In porn... Men are supposed to be hung. The typical male is 5" or at least in America... Males in those movies must be 8" or more. ... Porn. Comic Books. Hell movies. How many chubbers do you see in movies aside from the obligatory chubbster. And "big" girls in those. Are usually a healthy b.m.i. >> Just saying.  Feminists... shush about my escapist means. Go pick a fight with something that actually is removing women's rights... check the American republican party these days... just a hint
