More water nymph than human. Slayer of Games, master of the Cluster F-Bomb, and all around paragon of mediocrity.

Ought to draw more, hence the sketchblog.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hand aside, that is a truly badass drawing of Sion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Blows a tender kiss in your general direction. Because after spending about twelve hours trying to think of a nice way to say thank you, this is honestly all I could think of doing.-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There shall have to be a round two, I think, after I have a few knife fights with the concept of anatomy. A round two where, you know, he gets both of his hands.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://halteclayre.tumblr.com/post/49292356651</link><guid>http://halteclayre.tumblr.com/post/49292356651</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:23:42 -0400</pubDate><category>juliandroid</category><category>reply response</category></item><item><title>I went ahead and purged the two other WIPS of this thing to make...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c01baea7b718f64d2b73a33b37052013/tumblr_mm17okfBZb1qdqdg3o1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3a21d82d7f570bf15d156d67be98230c/tumblr_mm17okfBZb1qdqdg3o2_r1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I went ahead and purged the two other WIPS of this thing to make room for the as-close-as-it’s-gonna-get-to-being-finished version. There is no pain greater than looking at something you’ve sunk way too much time into and realising much, much too late that a big chunk of it is fundamentally broken. You’re not getting that other hand Sion. Not this time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And now, I am going to run off and play more KotOR2, to try and take my mind off the fact my body has decided I should start suffering from hayfever now I’m in my twenties. Maybe I’ll have a go at drawing Atton when my eyeballs stop itching.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://halteclayre.tumblr.com/post/49195792521</link><guid>http://halteclayre.tumblr.com/post/49195792521</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:33:00 -0400</pubDate><category>kotor 2</category><category>darth sion</category><category>sketches</category><category>kotor2</category><category>I am well aware he's still too handsome but FUCK IT</category></item><item><title>Urgh, time to get all the boring junk that’s been building...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ead9f8ef3bf0e45aeea33c938a0f277c/tumblr_mlmkzemHEI1qdqdg3o1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Urgh, time to get all the boring junk that’s been building up out of my system.

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Decided to give those nifty pencil brushes that have been floating around for Paint Tool Sai a try.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Challenging yourself is hard! But if you spend the time on this I’m sure you can do it and it will be gorgeous *__*&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just have absolutely no idea where to begin! It&amp;#8217;s been that long since I&amp;#8217;ve finished something and it&amp;#8217;s utterly terrifying and so incredibly silly that I feel that way about doing something I enjoy. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I may just leave it until there are better references for the guy&amp;#8217;s outfit up for download, because if I do something now and it turns out it&amp;#8217;s nowhere near right I will be very, very mad.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://halteclayre.tumblr.com/post/43666740638</link><guid>http://halteclayre.tumblr.com/post/43666740638</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:13:46 -0500</pubDate><category>also how do I anatomy</category><category>holy fuck so much to learn</category><category>hooooly fuck</category></item><item><title>Casually gets ideas that are way above her...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/004a53985014c92bf11049d41740581c/tumblr_mijelhvCj51qdqdg3o1_400.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Casually gets ideas that are way above her station. &lt;/p&gt;
