I was digging through my files tonight. Fun times.

Once I started writing an essay about the Triforce in literature. It's not finished, but I find it fairly amusing regardless. Read on, homies!

My artblock is my sanity (crack musings, undoubtedly)

This was originally going to be a Tumblr post, but it turned into a novel so it prompted me to remember that I have this thing. Click for a fairly long read. :\

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is so fun augh

This is vague enough that I'm not going to count it a spoiler. After the jump there are a couple though, so watch out if you're sensitive to that kind of thing.

JAMZ YEAH

So! I don't have any art to post right now because I suck. (Well, I am working on an actual buffer for BFK that I am very happy about, but you don't get to see that.)  I have, however, been listening to a disproportionate amount of nerd music on Youtube. I've been into cellos, violins, and pianos lately. ANY OF THAT APPEAL TO YOU??? Hit the jump then. It's all good.

I'm running out of FF related titles

Then again, I've never been very creative with titles.

So like when I made this, I also liked how it looked before I raped it with gradients and such, so... here it is! This one reminds me of album art. :V

Decided to paint Vivi to unwind a bit. (Refs are for sissies!) Truth be told, I really like painting, but it's very time consuming for me and I can't ever seem to portray things the way I want to without spending a buttload more time than I'd like to. (I draw fast)

More random FF fanart after the jump, lol

I haven't posted in a while!

Most of these will probably be unfinished. :V

Laguna because uhh bitches he's my boo?

Have some adorable schooltime SoraxKairi and some not-quite-so-adorable CeltyxShinra. I do love Shinra, though. Anyone who has not watched Durarara!!, please do so now.

The E3 trailer for Skyward Sword looks so amazing auuuggghhhh

To celebrate that, I started painting this Link that I will probably never finish. :V

My friend was trying to get me to Pchat with her. I don't understand. (I drew the faggots with wings, btw)

Aaaaand to round it all off we have a rant comic that TOTALLY SPOILS THE END OF KH 358/2 DAYS if you're worried about that. Also Zack somehow made an appearence again.

girl powerzzzz

Man, I was reading some feminist (the good kind) rants about the treatment of female characters the other day and I started feeling all ragey and stuff. (links for everybody yey) This then triggered some serious girly fanart sessions, y'all. 

AP Exams are kicking my ass

 I didn't go to school today because of them, though, so I guess that's cool. Yay for time to doodle and play video games!

Squall and Rinoa (even though you can't tell) IN SPACE becaue I'm gay and seem to be recovering my attraction to astronauts.

What Measure Is A Non Human: Hoo boy. The Nobodies. Sora in particular sticks to his "You don't exist, you don't feel anything" mantra right until the end, even after one of them pulls a Heroic Sacrifice for his sake... One might think he was speaking directly to Disney's censors. --TV Tropes

Yeah I'm on that site too much but dude it's so true. More after the break!

Been in a comick-y mood lately.

Too bad nothing productive comes from that. Ho hum. Onwards!

First up is Krasny cavorting with my peeps. Who is Krasny? Next is Axel and Pluto because uhhh IT'S FUCKING ADORABLE even though technically wasn't Pluto just keeping tabs on him or something? I give up. Thennnn a WIP of Squall and Rinoa because I'm a fagit.

Oh FF8 you're so fun but that FUCKING SHIP took me the better part of three days to find. I shit thee not. And then there's the whole thing with the security of Balamb Garden... it really makes me question the people in charge of that place. I mean really, the idea that they would make people like Selphie or Zell SeeDs in the first place is pretty disturbing.

My friends know me too well. And are also nerds. I guess that's why they're my friends?

Moving on but not really

So, how many of you find yourselves reading mythology and suddenly wanting to design your own versions of gods? 'Cuz that happens to me a disturbing amount.

Some Norse gods! My favorite mythology along with Gaelic C: Loki and Thor have the most awesome fucking adventures, man. And no one likes Baldur. >> I really wanted to do Freyr, Freyja, and Sif too buuuutttt I didn't for no real reason. :|

Look! Leigh! I think I'm going to start updating BFK again. Until then, more obscure video game jokes only I will get.

FINAL FANTASY VIII AUGHHH needless to say I'm enjoying it, though Squall is a little bit too much like a certain few of my friends for comfort. I swear to god I have given many of the same speeches Rinoa's given him to my friends before. >:\ Zell is my one true love, though.

Also hey look no Zack Fair this time

Now I'm posting too often

[8:23:39 PM] Cori Walters: I bought a manga called 'not simple' that I think you'd like
[8:23:44 PM] Lauren: k
[8:23:48 PM] Lauren: can I rad i
[8:23:50 PM] Lauren: read it
[8:23:53 PM] Lauren: DON’T MOCK ME
[8:23:55 PM] Lauren: tomorrow
[8:24:09 PM] Cori Walters: okay I'll bring it but it looks so nice on my shelf
[8:24:26 PM] Lauren: oh, that’s okay then you can leave it
[8:24:35 PM] Lauren: wouldn’t want to disrupt your fucking decor
[8:24:48 PM] Cori Walters: I said I'd bring it, goddman
[8:24:50 PM] Lauren: that was a tad more biting than I intended
[8:24:52 PM] Cori Walters: godman
[8:24:54 PM] Lauren: GODMAN
[8:24:59 PM] Cori Walters: GO GO GO
[8:25:01 PM] Lauren: AT YOUR SERVICE

ANYWAYS this is Jim from said comic mentioned above. I love him to bits and pieces aughhh everyone go out and read not simple by Natsume Ono. You can read the first chapter here. If yo don't, I will find you.

Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN because uhhhh that show is the shit. Also kind of a mindfuck. Also kinda hella scary sometimes. Complete with teenage angst and mad conspiracies! EVERYTHING I LIKE IN ONE SHINY HAPPY PACKAGE

More .hack. OH TSUKASA YOU'RE SUCH A GIRL OH WAIT

I almost kept this KH-free. BUT ZACK YOU HAD TO RUIN THAT FOR EVERYONE DIDN'T YOU

More KH bla bla bla broken record

I'm going to try and update this thing more often, so there's not the huge image spam thing that's been happening lately.

I finally beat Riku's side of Re:Chain of Memories today. It shows. >>

I honestly can't decide if I love Zexion or hate him. Whatever the case, his book makes me laugh.

More Kingdom Hearts, but Days this time. My testament to HOW FUCKING SCARY THE FINAL BOSS WAS AUGHHH

Except technically Riku was the final final boss, wasn't he? Hrmm.

YOU READY FOR SOME OLD NEWS ONLY I CARE ABOUT? 'CUZ I AM!

Zack Fair in a Kingdom Hearts game? Complete with swirly ears? I'm in. Though one does have to wonder why he's not in Radiant Garden. Then again I guess Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka were all on the Destiny Islands, so whatever.

MARVEL AT IT

I have replaced my blood with Square Enix.

So, I finally decided to jump on the FF7 bandwagon nearly 13 years after its release. This causes me to be painfully aware of how right all the dumb fangirls and nerdguys are, as this game is SO AWESOME AUGH I WANNA KILL MYSELF. The game itself is pretty much a deconstruction of RPGs, which somehow (thankfully) I had managed to play many of these before I got my hands on this one, both older Final Fantasies and just general RPGs with magical heroes and the like. C'est wunderbar!

 Goddamn I love Reno. I mean, sure this is unsurprising as I love Axel from KH and he's just an expy of Reno (Nomura even said so) but whatever. Especially him and Rude together. YEAH BROMANCE

I mean hell Cid is a captain or whatnot. He should've been the leader from the start!

Tifa's hair looks like a dolphin or something. ANYWAY!

This here then of course then leads to my favorite cutscene ever oh god

 

Also just putting it out there, but I honestly love Cloud. He's just so damn fun to mock.

And here we have some non-fanart that still manages to be a faggy blond guy with glowing blue eyes. Sorry Sven.

In addition to seven, I've also been playing a lot of FF12 lately. It shows a little too much in this picture. I need to go lie down.

Holy shit huge post

Gonna try and arrange these by series or something goddamn I haven't updated in a while.

So uhh Kingdom Hearts yeah. I like Xigbar. >> And Roxas' jammies. That second comic I wrote mear hours before reading this comic. Goddamn you internet stealin' mah jokes.

HEY GUYS I LOVE WIND WAKER. My brother's finally gotten arond to playing it, and it is so exciting. Also, I totally ship Link/Zelda from Spirit Tracks. Just sayin'.

I have been known to draw my own characters from time to time. Strange, I know.

That first one is Jackson, from this old western called Cat Ballou. He was a ranch hand. Awesome, right? Next we have everyone's favorite pissy prosecutors. I love Franny and Edgey so much as some sibling dynamic duo. No shipping required! :D And, uh, crossdressing Cloud. Come on guys, it was inevitable.

These were for a psych project. These were part of a larger set, but were the only ones I liked how they turned out (meaning of course they were the only ones I actually spent time on ha ha)

hey guys I seem to have fallen in love with MS Paint

Starting off with a bang! And gore! WOO

My ankle hurt like hell today and the pain meds weren't entirely working and I was afraid to take more 'cuz WHOAH NARCOTICS MAN

So you get human!Sven. He's a nice punching bag. Nothing like an exposed jugular to get the blood flowin'.

In a similar vein, here we have a caged Hoshi. I was reading the Buggy arc of One Piece and at some point Luffy ended up in a cage. As usual, I over-analyzed it and found that since I broke my ankle I've pretty much been stuck in a cage myself. What with the five days in a hospital room, and then even after I got home I'm still pretty contained. At least my friends visit me and I have a stable internet connection.

Sketch for an illustration I want to do someday. Lyrics from the song "You're a Wolf" by Seawolf. (great band--look 'im up some time)

Watching a dog show, drew my characters. Herp derp already posted this on dA.

Practice with chins that turned somehow into almost gay. THEY'RE STRAIGHT GUYS I PROMISE.

Proper ref of scruffy adult Hoshi. Yay for body hair!

Remember that one picture I did where I said I made Sven's jacket wrong? Well, I decided to fix it and tone it. I also changed his face to look more like his actual ethnicity. (care to speculate? Hint: he's not Swedish, but you wouldn't be far off)
