Mikero's Artflows

[Mikero]

I'll make stills on Monday if I remember (that's when it's due, but I'm done).

[Captain Sanoguchi]

'Kay, thanks.

[Mikero]

I was supposed to make one of the last pose and I totally forgot. I haven't slept in over 24 hours.

[Majikn]

Sleep, you whore.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Yeah, seriously.

[Mikero]

In a little bit. I'm waiting for someone.

[preventerWIND]

The Sandman? Oh ho ho, I crack myself up.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

In a little bit. I'm waiting for someone.

Now. You aren't a kid anymore Mike. You have to take responsibility for yourself. You're in College now, so that should be your only concern.

[Mikero]

I don't have class tomorrow, just work.

Sandman, I will knock his head off his body so hardcore if he comes after me. That guy is a pedo nutter.

[Majikn]

WE WORRY ABOUT YOU MIKE

[preventerWIND]

Guys, I just noticed, if you take the n out of Sandman, that makes it Sadman. Woah.

Anyways, all retardation aside, I love your work Mike, I wish I could draw like that. I used to draw pretty good, but now I can barely make a circle.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Remember the time Spiderman beat Sandman with a vaccum cleaner?

[preventerWIND]

I remember the time he beat your mom with a wooden paddle. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH~!

[Mikero]

That's nice but don't worry yet. During finals last semester I was definitely up for 70+ hours straight.

Also thanks Wind. Know that I didn't draw the latest animation of Deputy Diaper. It was the build we were given in Harmony to animate to learn how to lip sync and swap.

Edit: But now I'm going to sleep! While I'm gone ASR is in charge of my POGs.

[Voulnet]

In a little bit. I'm waiting for someone.

Your mistress is getting late.

[ASR]

The dialogue is from Ghost Busters.

Thank you, I watched it over and over and I couldn't place that line. Ugh.

Anyway, nicely done.

[Mikero]

Thanks y'allsz.

In a little bit. I'm waiting for someone.

Your mistress is getting late.

She had gone to the movies with her girl friends, so it was to be expected that she'd be home late.

OK. I was finally able to work on this tonight and unexpectedly I finished it. I should be in bed, but off my tits excited that it's done. This was a Christmas gift that had to go into overtime and I'm glad I actually finished it, and that I actually like it. Just sent it to her now.

[ASR]

I really like the colors, but the drawing isn't anything special to me. Quality as always, though.

[Mikero]

Well I can't expect you to understand what she looks like or why she's doing that pose, haha. It took an assload of time to get it to resemble her though.

Edit: She loves it.
 :-)>

[Voulnet]

You sound very happy happy and satisfied, how did she reward you?

[Mikero]

Hahha, I didn't have the chance to show her personally.

But goddamn did the sketch take long to get her proportions and resemblance in. It's stylized of course, but the whole point would be lost if it didn't still look like her. And the colour took forever too. Something about internet browsers; Colours just never look the same on uploaded pictures. I don't know what it is but the colour is more rich and sharp. It's only a slight difference, but I'm aware of it and I feel that everything I colour loses something when I put it online.

But I am quite happy, and so is she.

[ASR]

All my friends make me draw cartoons of them, and you all know how lazy I am: I get maybe one done a month. They actually set up a waiting list... which I find hilarious since whenever I actuallly DO draw one, I just pick whichever person could currently benefit me the most, like "he could get me Pistons tickets" or "maybe if it's REALLY good she'll put out." Hehe, yeah, exaggerated on the latter, but the first one actually happened, successfully.

However, what I'm getting at is that I know the feeling of trying to make it LOOK like them. I draw very cartoony, so I have to really focus on their distinguishing features, whether it be clothes they wear a lot, their weight/height, big nose, etc.. It usually turns out great, but there have been a few failed attempts that look a lot less like the target than others do.

[Mikero]

Pistons? Pfft.

I like multiple teams, but Pistons... Not right now. Who were they playing?

Anyway with this I was going further than I would for something cartoony; As far as the resemblance goes, it was more about a dead on "That's her" than a resemblance. It had to be a comic book/american art stylized her, more than it had to be a caricature or a cartoon of her.

[ASR]

They lost against the Bulls. I don't faithfully follow them, but the Pistons are indeed my team.

And yeah, I can tell (about it being less of a cartoon). Good job, once again.

[Mikero]

Thanks man, and #####in' A they lost to the Bulls.

I was more a Bulls backer when I was a kid and Jordan was rocking the 23. His career wearing 45 wasn't bad either, a lot of people think he came back suckier but actually every time he's come back I'm pretty sure he's beaten his own records. By far my favourite player to ever pick up the ball, and that's not me being a trendy kid, I liked him ever since the day.

 Right now I'm getting more into the Celtics but I don't know a lot of their history, but they've been a pretty solid team for a long time. And I like green.

[ASR]

I just got a new puppy recently, and I was gonna' name it Chauncey if it was a boy. When I found out it was a girl I was gonna' name it Tayshaun Princess... well, not seriously, but I thought that was funny. Her name is Maddy.

I like green, too. I'm so glad that my school's colors are green/white because I get to sport a green varsity jacket rather than those cruddy clashing random colors every other school has.

Then again, the varsity jacket is from marching band...

[Mikero]

I have a green and white Michigan varsity jacket...

[ASR]

To that I say both "Congrats!" and "Why?"

[Voulnet]

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetrooitt Basketball!!!
And yes, losing to the Bulls makes you cringe. As for the Cs, well, they have a very rich bball history, but these last years they've been sucking so bad, they had a 17 game losing streak last year, they're just lucky they were able to rob the TimberWolves last off-season and start this amazing season.
Me? I'm a Lakers fan, you're free to show your hate.

[Mikero]

Nothing wrong with Lakers.

To that I say both "Congrats!" and "Why?"

My mom got it, it was only like 12 bucks or something ridiculous.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Mikey, your newest art is cool like always. But why is she about to poke herself in the eye?

[Mikero]

She's not even touching her eye, he finger is against her nose.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Oh, the perspective makes it hard to tell, srry.

[preventerWIND]

She's not even touching her eye, he finger is against her nose.

Looks like she missed. It's supposed to go IN the nose.

[ASR]

You can't win 'em all.

[preventerWIND]

You pick the outcome.

[Mikero]

::rolling eyes::

[preventerWIND]

Hey, my art thread evolved into a stupid milk thread, now yours a stupid nose-picking one. Deal with it.

[Mikero]

Rather not.

[Lunchebox]

It looks like she's touching her nose and saying something like "On the nose".

[Mikero]

That's the motion all right, but not the sentiment. She does that when she's thinking.

[Lunchebox]

She touches her nose when she's thinking? That's pretty dumb.

... The pricking your finger with a pin when you space out probably isn't much better.

[Mikero]

She touches her nose when she's thinking? That's pretty dumb.

Whatever. Everyone who knows her likes it. It's pretty cute, actually.

Hey, my art thread evolved into a stupid milk thread, now yours a stupid nose-picking one. Deal with it.

Yours just had the conversation go somewhere else. Here you're actively joking about my art and my friend. It's not offensive but it's not funny either.

[preventerWIND]

I actually didn't intend to have it offensive at all, I'm just screwing around. Which is actually what I do in most of my posts, about 90% of it all is just joking around. I think you're taking me too seriously man.

[ChaosVortex]

Flashback.

Atomic-Fire.

RedFalcon.

[preventerWIND]

Yeah, that was a bit my fault as well. I do admit I joke a bit much, I'll tone down as much as I can so I can avoid those kind of bothers.

That guy was too damn serious and pretentious, he wrote in like 10 threadsabout theories and explanations about MMZ.. and expected everyone to praise him and treat him like a genius.

[Mikero]

No no, I said it's NOT offensive. I know you're just joking around, I'm just saying/clarifying.

Don't worry, people bitch me out online all the time when I make a joke.

[preventerWIND]

Ah, alright. I just assumed you thought I intended it to be offensive.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, that was a bit my fault as well. I do admit I joke a bit much, I'll tone down as much as I can so I can avoid those kind of bothers.

That incident wasn't your fault at all, actually. You'll want to apologize because you feel like you've offended them, but there wasn't anything to be offended at. I see this crap all the time at work. Someone will ask for extra cheese on a sandwhich. You'll place the cheese on a plastic tray and slide it onto the counter. Next thing you know, the woman's calling a manager, asking for your name, address, phone number, store number, and mother's maiden name, because you "threw cheese at her".

I hate those people.

Anyway, regarding Mike's work, it's great as always.

Does she bend over to think too!?

[Captain Sanoguchi]

She touches her nose when she's thinking? That's pretty dumb.

Whatever. Everyone who knows her likes it. It's pretty cute, actually.

Mike's got a girlfriend! Mike's got a girlfriend!~
