A Lamb Comic.(Updates on Sundays)

Oh my, I’m sorry to hear that :(

I would be so depressed if that happened to mine…

I’m still in high school, senior year, actually.

Most of my family lives on the East coast, hell, I was even born there (Maryland) and I was mostly raised in Liverpool, which is near Syracuse, New York. During my time there, it was really the first time I felt at home, (I moved a lot, but it didn’t bother me) and it was really the first time I made real friends, which was a huge improvement since I’ve always had social problems. Some of my best memories lies in that place, I spent Christmas at my Grandmother’s house, my two uncles, cousins, my aunt, dad, everyone was there, it was snowing and we were all opening presents, and everything felt just right, even if the power went out (and it did) we still had fun.

Even school was awesome, It was the first time I was, actually kind of happy at one, not to say I wasn’t at the other schools, it’s just, I don’t know, I think it really changed my life for the better. I mean, when I was younger, I was in special-ed classes, so of course, there’s not really going to be a lot of kids in there. I stopped going to speech therapy, and I started to go into bigger classes, which gave me an opportunity to socialize more with kids, and I did. People, actually liked me, and they liked my jokes and drawings and what-not. The field trips were fun too, we even went to Canada for a field trip. It’s just, there in New York, I really felt like I belonged, and that’s never happened before.

Of course, all good things came to an end, I graduated elementary school, and I was going to move to California. Of course, as soon as I went out the door of my home, I instantly broke down, I was leaving everybody I knew and loved and it just hurt me so Goddamn much. What’s worse is since I was gone, some things happened in my family that I should have been there for. Relatives died and other family members were depressed, so it doesn’t feel right not to be there.

Didn’t really like Southern California that much when I came here, too urban and ghetto. Even the apartment and school were ghetto as fuck. Someone was getting beaten below us, and even at school you could smell weed in the hallways, and I was picked on at school, I was still on medication so I was a chubby white kid, and I was an easy target. Heh, I was even picked on and hated for being ‘so white’. But nobody liked that fucker anyways so fuck him. And there was some people that stood up for me, so at least there was that.

After that I moved AGAIN, but THANKFULLY this time it was a much better school district. Good people, good teachers, this time, I kinda feel at home again. But I’m going to leave it all once more.

I guess one of my problems is I just can’t let go of the past and I’m afraid of the future.

Thank you so much, *hugs back* ^^

Thank you,

I’ve been thinking of doing some vent art, actually. Not anything too over-dramatic and probably not with my characters, but something that just looks sad or depressing. I won’t upload it here either. Probably on my mod blog or my DeviantART account.

Thank you,

This was the first Christmas where I felt legitimately sad, mainly due to homesickness and lack of snow, but there are many other reasons why I’m feeling like this. This overall feeling of sadness has been with me for a while, probably a year, or more…

Thank you for understanding,

I’m up really late because I was at my Aunt & uncle’s house for Xmas, didn’t get home ‘till midnight, got ready for bed and sketched some stuff, and now it’s almost 3 am. I also decided to respond to asks. I might actually go to sleep after this, I really think I need it…

Thank you. I guess updating a few times a month is better than only once a month, hehe

Thank you so much,
I’m just glad that I have wonderful watchers that care enough to try and comfort me.

I would hug all of you if I could, lord knows I would try, you all are so kind.

I’m really sorry if I flood the blog with emotional stuff like this…

Thank you for the kind words. I just update the blog almost daily, so I don’t want people to worry about me.

Thank you, one of these days I might do a giant vent post. I just hate all this confusion and sadness I’m feeling and I need to let something out…

S-sempai? Oh my, thank you!

The main inspiration for Lamb? Well, she’s actually based off a real stuffed animal I’ve had since I was a toddler. I just got bored one day and decided to sketch her and boom: the character was born.

And personality wise, the biggest inspiration for Lamb was Mrs. Brisby from The Secret of NIMH, one of my favorite protagonists ever.

For Sweet Scent, design-wise I based her off numerous skunks: Mainly Flower from Bambi, Fifi La Fume from Tiny Toons, and of course Pepe Le Pew.

Personality-wise: I based her off of quiet, sad characters, mainly Eeyore and Fluttershy.

I’d be happy to tell!

First I’ll choose a picture to shade.

Then I go to my swatches and select a color, my shading colors are circled in yellow. Choose any color that you want or one that best matches the picture.

Create a new layer. Then set the mode to multiply

Draw on the area that you want shade to be in.

Now, I think the shading is too dark, so I’ll bring the opacity down.

Much better, but the shading isn’t as lively or colorful as I wanted it to be.

That’s an easy fix, however. Go to Image<Adjustments<Hue/Saturation. Since the shading is on it’s own layer, you don’t need to select it or anything like that.

Now just mess around and see what works! All I did was just change the hue and increased the saturation.

AND, as an extra, I’ll show you lighting, since I do that with Sweet Scent’s fur.

Similar to before, create a new layer, except this time, set it to linear dodge.

Draw on the areas you want light to hit. Maybe bring down the opacity if you want, and you’re done!

I hope that was helpful! Now, I am a Photoshop user, but I’m sure this technique might work on Paint Tool SAI, but I haven’t used it before.. And I know it should work on GIMP as well.

Happy painting!

Thank you so much!

I’ll keep doing my best as much possible! /)^_^(\

eeeeeeeeee!! I’m honored you like it so much!

I’m totally ok with fan art! I rarely get any for my characters!

True. Sometimes I wonder and/or worry about what will happen in the future, but you’re right, I should be focusing on reaching my goals step by step.

I’m actually in an animation class right now, even though my projects are primitive and simple, learning the basics has been helpful.

I actually have a book, Richard Williams’ The Animator’s Survival Kit. It’s a giant book so I really haven’t read all of it. But man, the stuff I HAVE read, is REALLY interesting and really helpful. I learned important techniques for animation I haven’t thought of.

If you’re an aspiring animator and you want to read a book from an expert animator, check that book out. No joke, it’s great.

I actually have been thinking of that, but of course, not until I’m much more experienced with animation :3

But yeah, it did work pretty well for Bee and Puppycat, if I made a short cartoon and enough people liked it for it to become its own show, man that would be scary and cool at the same time.

I have high hopes, but low expectations for my life ahead, but for me to even make a short cartoon at all would be a miracle.

I mean, if worst comes to worse, I can just make it a comic, comics are cool. ‾ᴥ‾

Oh garsh… thank you. :3

eee! I’m glad you like her!
I wanted to make her as adorable, sweet, and cuddly as possible. /)>ᴥ<(\

I’m happy that people like her!

*blushes* Oh thank you! :3 /)^-^(\
