Body After Brunch

Posted on January 6, 2010 by BrassyDel

Following the Body After Baby event hosted by MamaNotes, I was doing pretty well in regards to diet and (occasional) exerise. During the event, I lost the last of my baby weight (and I finally got into Jeans That Zip – ie, Not Maternity Pants). By Yule I was down another 3 pounds! Exciting, right? Well, we celebrate Yule at…

Warm-up art: Creamsicle

Posted on December 29, 2009 by BrassyDel

I did some traditional inking today, mostly trying to get back into practice. Today’s offering is my (adorable) perpetual kitten, Creamsicle. Before you wonder what the heck is going on with those paws, I’ll mention that he’s polydactyly. This real-life cat has 7 toes on each front paw, and 5 on each back paw (for a grand total of 6…

More Fun than Texting

Posted on December 18, 2009 by BrassyDel

I’m a big fan of lolcats and loldogs, being a bit of a nerd. One of today’s grammatically-impaired, constitutively-adorable pooches is thus: I think the girl on the left might actually be fiddling with a camera, as opposed to texting, but the message is wonderful regardless. Many of us, in the US at least, do spend a lot of time…

Happy Monster is Happy

Posted on December 11, 2009 by BrassyDel

Another monster for you. This one is for a friend who could seriously use a pick-me-up right about now. And he gets a snaggle tooth! I look at this little guy and I just want to watch him flap those little round hands enthusiastically.

Grumpy Monster

Posted on December 10, 2009 by BrassyDel

Playing around in Photoshop again. I like burnt orange, especially in the fall and winter. Oh, and I’m feeling a little grumpy today. He almost needs a snaggle tooth, but maybe that’d be too much.

Body After Baby Challenge – Before and After!

Posted on December 10, 2009 by BrassyDel

Side note: I wanted the pictures facing the same way so I flipped the Before horizontally. I didn’t even realize at first that it makes it look like my tattoo is new! Oops. Heh. Here you go! This is my before and after photos from Body After Baby (hosted by MamaNotes!). I am back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and…

Beep beep boop!

Posted on November 28, 2009 by BrassyDel

I was playing around with the pen tool in Photoshop and came up with this robot. I would consider him sort of a prototype, I guess, because I’m not happy with him. I wanted something cute, kid-friendly, and robot-y. By kid-friendly I mean something that a child, say between the ages of three and ten, might actually think was pretty…

I Think You Misplaced These, Mom. Here, Let Me Help You.

So the other day I was straightening up in our basement. I sought out every random, displaced throw blanket, folded them all up, and stacked them neatly on the corner of the couch. Shortly thereafter, I turned around and was greeted with this: Apparently, they were in his spot. He does look awfully comfy though, doesn’t he?

Fanart Friday – Flonne (Disgaea)

Posted on November 20, 2009 by BrassyDel

I’ve been rediscovering a favorite strategy RPG lately, on the DS this time. So since I’m completely hooked on Disgaea at the moment, it’s the next Fan Art Friday! Flonne is an angel who appears, mmmm… about a third of the way through the story? If you search for Disgaea art, you’ll usually find art of Laharl, Etna, Flonne, and…

Body After Baby Challenge – Week 8

Posted on November 17, 2009 by BrassyDel

It’s the very last week of Body After Baby by MamaNotes.com. Extra pound is gone (buh-bye) and another half a pound. Nothing too exciting. The weather here sucks lately. We got another foot of snow over the weekend, and the Hubbles was out of town on a hunting trip for several days (me, teething baby, two rowdy, barky dogs; and…
