I drew this for a sketch jam at Sketch Book Allstars. The theme was as follows:

“Now the only jam was us just doing an Black Wonder Woman aka Sista MAAT. So the this JAM will be JustUS League. Draw your version of the Justice League heroes. But they must have powers of the 7 members of the real Justice League:”

I knew virtually nothing of the Justice League, except that it was a show on Cartoon Network. After a bit of research, I opted to do my own version of Aquaman, which turned out to be a black female. I really like how the body came out. I’m trying to be more diverse with my poses. I have the female form down pretty good, but things change once you throw some foreshortening in the mix.

Anyway, I might throw some colors on this. But for now, it’s been a very productive day of arting.

This is starting to look like a sketchblog again. I bet you guys forgot I could actually draw from time to time.

I drew this sitting in my mom’s classroom. I really need to be working on my Other Heroes submission, as Kendall was so kind to point out, but alas, it’s great that I’m drawing anything at all.

I did it a few weeks ago. I changed from EZOShosting over to Yahoo!. The site transferred over fine, but ever since the switch my blog won’t publish properly. I probably need to call customer service, but don’t really feel like it. Ugh. . .

Oh well, I get my hair done tomorrow, so that’s a plus.

Here’s something I drew. I do still do that. It’s Natalie Nouveau, my SLAM EVIL personal.

Well, I’m trying to start a health and fitness regime, eating less and exercising more than before (which was not at all). ‘Cause, I’ve a pretty sedentary lifestyle, so I need the extra boost to my metabolism. I could easily stand to lose 15 pounds. I just ran on the treadmill for the second time this week. The first time I ran/powerwalked 1.037 miles, and it was awesome. Didn’t run for 2 days after that, though, because my legs were sore.

And. . .

It looks to be a movie watching weekend. I’ve rented Dreamland, Accepted, and Paradise Now. It was funny when I rented the latter film, the sales associate at movie gallery asked, “You know this is a foreign language film, right?” I was like, “Yeah.” She said the people come in there bringing movies back saying, “This isn’t in English? I’ve got to read this. . .” *rolleyes*.

I’ll take subtitles over godawful dubbing any day. But, I get to have a Justin Long fix and be cultured as well, so it’s all good.

Ok, I’m off to do some sit-ups.

January 12, I finally got it in the mail. Yay for finality.

I was working on this submission for the “Other Heroes” show that’s coming up. I missed the deadline, though I still want to finish the pages. Monday is a weird deadline, anyway.

The story I’m illustrated is based on a short story I wrote a few years ago, called Cappuccino. It’s some romance/drama/coming-of-age stuff.

And finally. . .

Last Friday I went to see Stomp the Yard with some friends, and became enamoured of this charismatic young actor (heh, we’re the same age). He is soooooo cute. OMG. Columbus Short.

So, I go home and look him up on IMBD and see that he was in Save the Last Dance 2, a straight-to-dvd release I hadn’t seen because I figured it’d be lame. However, yesterday, I see that the movie is on MTV, so I decided to watch it. I was really surprised that it didn’t suck. I mean, it wasn’t a cinematic gem or anything, but it was definitely entertaining, and he and Izabella Miko had good chemistry. I remember seeing her in The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” music video.

*So I went to Movie Gallery and purchased the dvd, because I’m so lame.* ^_^
