One more sketch! Just one more! I've been a busy little bee so maybe I'll sit down and actually try coloring one of these bad-boys. Honestly, I fear I've lost my touch. It's been so long since I've fully rendered anything' but that's no excuse for not trying. Anyway, here's my favorite earthbender, Ms. Toph Beifong, at about 16 years old. I tried to make her somewhat realistic in features. Still not happy with that foot, but this was an ambitiious angle for me, so oh well.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! I hope you all had at least a few good days off from work due to Sandy's nonsense. It wasn't so bad here. It just rained for 2 days and I'm glad that's over becauseI dunno about you clowns, but I'M going trick-or-treating! "But Rhonda," you say "aren't you old as fuck?" Why yes, imaginary blog reader, it so happens that I am, BUT I have the opportunity to borrow somebody's kids and use them as an excuse to get free. mothafuckin'. candy. BOOYAH! I'ma make it rain JOLLY RANCHERS IN THIS BITCH! Here's my costume... yeah I'm kind of a creeper. Enjoy :)

Oh hai there.

Quetzalcoatl

Squeezing in one more sketch right before the month is up! After I drew Janaki, I was inspired to draw some more deity(s?) We shall see. But as I was drawing this I started thinking about the religions that humanity has established over the past 10,000 years we've been  around. From American Indian spirituality, to Mayan, Incan, and Aztec deities, to Assyrian and Egyptian theology- All of them are different, yet share the same core  values that something bigger than us is responsible for mankind's privilege to live. Whether you believe in God or not, this much is evident in the fact that if all the trees died you wouldn't be able to breathe. So I came to conclude that spirituality is necessary for humanity to thrive. It keeps us humble if we respect that concept rather than to pridefully indulge our own selfish egos. That being said; I think it's better to have an idea of God rather than let any one religion tell you what to believe. Like humans, God is multi-faceted, and to only acknowledge one religion, to me, is like worshipping a big toe instead of a whole entity. LOL. I'm so philisophical!

Moving on, I've been listening to Purity Ring lately. And I love them, BUT (and this is so damn childish) my ex told me about them initially. So right out the gates I was like "FUCK A PURITY RING!" and then I gav ethem a listen and i was like "oh my god they're so goooood, but every time i hear them they make me think of Joe." and needless to say, I want to punch his soul in half. So I was conflicted over liking the band because my ex liked them.... ugh YES I know I'm such a drama queen. But that hasn't stopped me from listening to them. Now I'm just telling everybody else I know to try and remove some of the taint. lol

Galaxy in Janaki

I want to animate exactly what this song looks like to me someday. Until then, here's an sketch of the idea...visualize some pop-locking with those arms. Yeah. That's more like it.

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap

Today has been a very long, stressful and trying day. I can't help but feel like god or the universe or both was just like  "Let's test Rhonda today!"  And I have been tested repeatedly all day. Given the circumstances, I'm just happy I didn't murder anybody. UGH! Today's sketch brought to you in part by angst!

Anyway this is Mayu I usually don't draw her with wings, because she doesn't always have them. I need to really put more time into developing her plot. She's only 15 years old but you thinks I got problems? This bitch got some problems.

Ride or Die

My favorite pair of BFFFs-Best Fucking Friends Forever. My OG OC's Opal and Sequoia have been tight since 2001. These two are like peanut butter and jelly, ice cream and cake, yin and yang- If you see one, you'll almost always certainly see the other not too far behind. Recently they're also some potheads. HEY I don't make them this way, they just happen.

Call Me "Goddess"

This came about after a particularly enlightening and bittersweet epiphany I had about my ex. I was mad, still am mad... and I kind of ripped him a new asshole. The first image I made was a lot more gory, bloody and... scribbly. After I calmed down a bit, I was able to articulate more clearly with my pencil. I am at a point where I can accept that this person no longer holds any qualities that would endear them to me. I didn't think it was possible for anyone to have ZERO integrity, but I assure you, they do EXIST! I sincerely hope that you, reader, never have to deal with wishy-washy, flip-flop, ambivalent hypocrites who would sell their souls just for the opportunity to bask in the glow of people who would leave them to do the same thing if given the opportunity. I digress.

Please enjoy Daray's generously plump cleavage to this song.

Kay and Boogie

I think I tapped into somethinnng! I REALLY MISS SKETCHING! Kayli lookin like a BAUS and Boogie, being her normal provocative self. Feelin a little inspired by all that busy K-Pop shit going on in Big Bang's videos. GDragon in particular is a WILD little fashion icon. Love him! Yessir, I'm one of a kind!

Sultan's Request

I'm going to try and make it a habit of drawing more often. I've recently found a lot more to be inspired by these days, but just not enough time to put it down on paper. This image was inspired by the track "Sultan's Request" from the new album "Until  the Quiet Comes" by the legend; my hero Flying Lotus. I've been listening to it CONTINUOUSLY since it came out on October 2nd. FlyLo changed my life.
