your random dose of bad poetry - with no resolution - because I just feel like it.

still working through the mythology books, although my momentum was rather easily crushed by my inability to draw Hera in Velma Kelly's role as part of the Cell Block Tango (from the musical Chicago) successfully in under an hour. i don't know.

the idea haunts me.

got a commission off of an old sketch which made me go back and re-evaluate some other old sketches. some of them were good! i don't know how that happened. there is a freshness to them that feels missing. as if yon Pen plies pose and pomp. wherefore art Purity!

also, those old CS notes took me back. O, efficiency analysis! O, syntax!

first, however, i must apply for employment.

my dinotopia homage continues to garner interest. so much so, in fact, that a revision is highly likely to percolate to the front of my to-do list. but don't hold your breaths folks. first up is a page by page series of quick-paints of Edith Hamilton's "Mythology". 465 pages and i'm through 25. ha! ha!

::cries in a corner::

it will make me a better painter. i already feel it. but i will be dead by the end.

tell me what you think about it. it takes about two minutes to load up and requires a flash player.

some new stuff, some old stuff

i think i now understand what Ursula felt the first time she laid tentacles on King Triton's trident.

the most recent two offerings, the witch and mushroom man, have just been brightened for better viewing, but dhalsim has been made entirely more interesting. there are issues with the rendering that are still being sorted out so bear with me on that stuff.

cheers. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/13265177/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/13265177/ Fri, 08 Jun 2007 12:27:02 PDT

the only problem are the games... might have to spend a couple days finishing FFXII.

i put them in my scraps section because they didn't take too long to do, but i do like them. please visit them!

more being posted in my actual gallery within the next half hour. and another couple in the next few days when i get a hold of the files. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/8056201/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/8056201/ Fri, 03 Mar 2006 12:55:21 PST eight whole months since i've posted stuff.

well, that'll have to change.

giving myself a deadline of the 26th to update this page with everything i've done since then.
now, to remember where i left off... ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5858884/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5858884/ Wed, 06 Jul 2005 16:42:04 PDT
hit up AX on sunday. missed the artist gallery and various other things because of the Maaya Sakamoto concert. but she's pretty good so i'm cool with it.

did a sketch in the spirit of the occasion. took a while since i really had no idea what i wanted to do. i'm almost happy with it. there's something ... wrong ... with the pose ... or her foot. at least it sucked up all the time waiting in line for seating.

i've been a bad yogi. neglecting my practice and my body for the last few weeks. gods know, some meditation might help me heal the damage from the last quarter.

back to powergaming and, perhaps, my other craft. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5659945/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5659945/ Wed, 15 Jun 2005 20:42:41 PDT
having just taken a character design class and gesture drawing class at the Institute this quarter has made me realize that it's no longer acceptable to have a pretty character if there's little too it.

so in memoriam of the last season and my lasting sentiments i'm cleaning out my gallery and scraps. almost all of my b&w stuff is going away for good. the rest will be relegated to the near death of the scrapheap.

on the other hand, i will be putting up my new character designs (once i color them) and sculpture progress pictures.

oh and i won't mention my poetry ever again. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5091187/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5091187/ Thu, 14 Apr 2005 21:37:53 PDT
it's come to my attention that "poetry" qualifies as a deviation so if anyone wishes it, i'll move the pieces from journal to gallery. four is a pitifully small size for an anthology of words and wisdom, though.

some really fantastic projects happening these next few months. not the least of which is a 20" sculpture i'll be working my derriere off trying to make beautiful. some really strong character designs too. i may even color them. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5056239/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/5056239/ Sun, 10 Apr 2005 23:18:07 PDT ~~~~~~~~~~

Love

roses are red, jasmine is white
the Maid of my Heart glows brilliant with Light.
though in Darkness i lay,
o'ershadoweed my sight,
my heart yet rebles 'gainst its ill-fated plight.

i'd walk the planes of Hell, to see thee by the Throne of Heaven.

deep is my Love, deeper than seas
or e'en the roots of mythical trees
great is my Love, greater than kings
and treasures that the troubadours sing
fierce burns my Love, hot through my veins,
but Fire also sears and hot is my Pain
but it burns in a vacumn
with none of its kind
and naught in its ken
but the Cold.

~~~~~~~~~~

Loss

why was it said,
"tis better to have loved and lost
than to never love at all."
that love must not have been very great
or loss must have been quite small.

my loss haunts me.

but do i presume?
you are not mine, not mine.
other wiles win your heart;
other words move you;
other arms keep you warm;
other hands soothe you;
other eyes hold your own;
other lips caress you;
other fingers stroke your hair;
other bodies press you;
not mine, not mine. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4788828/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4788828/ Fri, 11 Mar 2005 19:28:56 PST
i've counted all the old stuff and it comes to approximately 30 more or less finished sketches, 50 scraps and one set of poems. for those of you watching me right now, forgive me; the spam will stop soon. i'm going to try to post them in chronological order.

i've decided to post some other newer stuff at the end of this quarter - mostly classwork, but some originals. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4756539/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4756539/ Mon, 07 Mar 2005 23:52:53 PST but i write this, my dear, to you, for you.
i love ev'ry idiosyncrasy
live to make you laugh, die by your tears too
if you cried, but you never. i worry
to death when you study too late, too long.
one dark day will you disappear from me
eternally. bereaved. i am not strong.
weak are my knees near you, i cannot cope,
yet near you is all i have ever hoped.
you interfere with all my processes
make messes of my enamour'd senses,
you make me crazy, madly, and i find
i can't remove your presence from my mind. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4756537/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4756537/ Mon, 07 Mar 2005 23:52:18 PST
hah!! i found my very first poem. those guys at poetry.com are awesome. supposedly this got entered into an anthology of young poets and won me an invitation to some International Poet convention thingy. i'll post it in the next journal. ]]> ~bahamutrex http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4735963/ http://bahamutrex.deviantart.com/journal/4735963/ Sat, 05 Mar 2005 15:37:51 PST a bambi-buck a-grazin grass
not cloister'd in some shaded vale
but nigh an overpass.
i grasp the sight with all my might
and hope that it will last.

these fancies fine are milk'd too quick,
absorbing ev'ry ray in thee
of joy, light and color bright
and things so Dear to see
till shelv'd it is with all the rest
a faded memory. ]]> ~bahamutrex
