MS Paint Mondays 57

What's good 2017 readers (if any of you stuck around the 3 months of complete silence that is lol)  I have returned to do MS Paint Mondays!! (because to be honest I haven't stopped doing them, just posting them, and for that I am sorry.) So despite it not even being Monday, let's get ready to welcome this week's  MS PAINT MONDAY!!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* So first and for most, my apologies for being completely inactive for so long, I have just had way too much on my plate this new year that has broken my focus on hobbies like this blog completely.

* That said as I mentioned in my introduction, this doesn't mean I haven't been doing weekly paints since then, I have made a plethora of them, so I thought why not start to post them? You see reasers, as I have mentioned in past posts I am often very critical of my drawings, but that is why I made this challenge for myself in the first place, you see how else can I get my art out in the world, it may not be GOOD but at least it is out there.

* This is something that I can stand behind, whatever your craft, if you are the only audience to your gift(s) then it will always be bad, but when you put it out there on a consistent basis, you will find someone who can appreciate your unique flavor, and therefore in order to encourage you all as well as myself, I will start to publish my art daily if possible. (But I'll still keep the title as MS Paint Mondays since it clicks so well with my nonsense subtext, that and well I'm lazy :D)

With all that said and done, I give you the second attempt at drawing my original anti-hero squad of lame-o's the Losa Brigade in the uniquely named piece "Losa Brigade Color". Now I am aware my character design still needs work, but this is my way of owning my new revelation when it comes to art, just put it out there, if you can't perfect it the first time who cares, just throw it out there, you'll find your style and technique speeding up the mroe often you do these things.

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations. 

Much Love, Wachi

MS Paint Mondays 43

Readers! What's that up in the sky? Is it a bird? A plane? Huh? what do you mean you are indoors and can't see the sky at the moment?? Well run to the window!! RUUUN!!!! Ugh, forget about it, it's gone now. Anyhow, we are back for SUPER MS Paint Monday!!

--Thoughts of the day--

* So I am pretty hype this week, Captain America: Civil War releases and I am excited, already got tickets to go watch it on Sunday, and I will be off the web avoiding spoilers in the meantime lol.

* Not only this but the new Hearthstone expansion is out this week (tomorrow in fact) and despite me disliking a couple of the nerfs made, I am pretty hype to see how the pirate meta has evolved, and if not, I have also been running raptor rogue as of late (I may make a decklist later if people care).

* So overall my thought process has also gone to a slightly more somber space, in what is Costa Rica's situation as of late, with a slew of national holidays having passed in the last few weeks, I come to realize that unlike superheroes, our country isn't very super at all. All these wars we fought for our independence to grow and be better, and we are still in 3rd world status, and that's out own damn fault.

* In the end I feel that change has to come from one's self and bravery, but this isn't just speaking up, go, go on your own way, become who you want to, and come back and just do! Just do what will help others, don't ask, don't fill out forms, just do it. Like Panama with their metro station, they didn't want it, but they made it anyways and now everyone loves it. Basically be the hero that other's don't want, or necessarily deserve, that is super.

*AHEM* Anyways, before this turns into a Wachi's rants I will move along with this week's MS Paint, "Losa Brigade!" Now, the Losa Brigade is a team of supers I created back in early high school and so seeing as super heroes are the in thing, I thought I'd draw them again, fun fact, I first drew them during a mindless doodle session induced by having one of our teachers put on the movie "Bring it on", basically seeing, the cheerleaders all in the same uniforms doing cool flips, inspired my subconscious to create these misshapen heroes in matching uniforms. (Coolest origin story ever, I know.)

As always, I hope this exercise helps you ease that weekly case of the Mondays and inspires you to start creating new things, and really help expand the creative construct that is your brain! I encourage you to share/send me your own MS Paint Monday creations, if I get enough I plan to do an MS Paint showcase at the end of every week so we can enjoy each other's styles and imaginations.

Much Love, Wachi
