Flower: Day 148

Drawing from Flower

Hello, everyone. I’m creeping up to day 150, and I’m pretty sure I’m not going to make a big deal out of it, 150 just doesn’t sound nearly as awesome as 200. Then again, day 185.5 is technically the half way point to the end of this project. I’m quite sure I’ll just stick to celebrating and looking back every 100 days.

I was planning on coloring the picture I drew yesterday (Another “No Man’s Sky” picture) but I’ve been playing Flower for Playstation 4 today and I took a few screenshots. I decided to draw one of them and it turned out pretty great! If I had enough colored pencils it would of turned out even better, but alas, I need to get some new ones. I don’t even have black anymore! Terrible.

So, I’m still trying to figure out what I should do to start making a little bit of money with this website. The idea still sounds a little nuts to me. Making any amount of money doing something I love, from complete strangers, is just something that doesn’t seem possible. Though, that possibility is out there. I think I just need to figure out exactly what I’m good at (if anything really) and where to market it. I’m pretty sure I can figure out the “how” as far as marketing is concerned. I’ve been reading up on it and learning for more than a few years now. I’ll just need to set a goal and then plan it out.

My sister once mentioned that it would be a neat idea to put a donate link on my website. Though, I don’t get near enough visitors for that to be feasible, and I think I would feel a little weird doing that. What do you think?

Alien Beach: Day 147

Drawing from No Man's Sky

Toady I continue with my No Man’s Sky drawings. This one shows a first person view of an alien beach with another planet looming overhead. I’ll no doubt color this for tomorrow’s artwork. Which should prove to be quite fun. I love knowing what work is ahead because then I don’t have to wrack my brains trying to figure out what to do next. It’s already planned out. Good stuff.

Distractions: Day 146

Planet from No Man's Sky

My new Playstation 4 is quite the distraction. I should of been more prepared. It’s 11:35pm right now and I’m just doing my daily post right now. Ridiculous! I should absolutely put more effort into doing at least the drawing bits earlier in the day. I mean, I was up late last night with it being New Years Eve and all. Therefore, I slept a bit of the day away today. Even so, I need to take this project a bit more seriously before I completely miss a day due to distractions and forgetfulness.

I can’t remember how much I explained about this picture when I made my post yesterday, but I’m going to go ahead and explain a couple things about this picture. First off, it’s a drawing of a planet shown off in an early game demo. The game is called No Man’s Sky and I’m super excited about it. Like, to a ridiculous level. It’s a sci-fi game that procedurally generates planets, plant and animal life, and technology in the form of space stations and good old space ships. In fact, there’s supposed to be so many star systems and locations that it would be literally impossible to visit all of them in a life time. The main thing I’m interested in is going to some gorgeous planets and taking pictures of it’s diverse wildlife and locations, and then doing some artwork using those photos.

Drawing planets and wildlife that no other player has ever set foot upon is pretty mind blowing. I can’t think of a better way to explain how excited I am about this. It’s pretty much the main reason why I wanted to pick up a Playstation 4 sooner than later. Now that I have one, I’ll just have to sit patiently until the game is released, which is apparently sometime in 2015.
