speedpaint :: 3 am doodling

uuh.. what the title says.

edit: Also, because people have been tagging me I'll post this as well.
1. I go to art school but am nowhere near getting my BFA just yet. Reason being cruel student loan limits and terrible currency exchange rate :(
2. I'm a dual citizen: Icelandic and US. I can move my ass to the US and work when- and wherever I want.
3. I'm a nerd and feel most at ease when situated in front of my computer or art supplies
4. I started fiddling with Photoshop at the age of 13. 
5. I grew up watching Disney cartoons and reading Donald Duck comics. My career had basically been set from birth.
6. One day, I really want to publish a self-written comic/graphic novel
7. Also, have my name in the credits list of an awesome movie (animated or live-action)
8. I love watching documentaries
9. I don't like Iceland. It's cold and boring. You can actually see my personality changing as soon as I get into a warmer (and more stable) climate.
10. I miss San Francisco :(
11. I'm tiny. About 5,1"-5,2"
12. I cannot live without coffee
13. I love animals, and can't think of life without pets
14. One of my dream pets is a piebald ball python.. but sadly, reptiles (along with other exotic animals) are illegal in Iceland.
15. Another dream pet is a german shepherd, though I doubt my lifestyle will ever be stable enough to own a dog :P
16. I'm a healthfreak and am very cautious of what I put into my body. I do however allow myself things like candy and drinking, but in moderation.
17. I love everything japanese and one day I'm going to travel to Japan for AT LEAST a month.
18. I own a cat who can open doors, drawers and basically knows what to do to piss me off so he can get what he wants.
19. I'm a huge introvert but when I feel more at ease with people I let my guard down 
20. School has really made me appreciate life drawing and I'm very happy with my progress so far. But not happy enough ;) 
21. I better get a well paid job after school because the student loan debt will be humongous 
22. I love cars; that is, sports and muscle cars. Bugatti Veyron mmmm ~~
23. When not drawing, I like to watch a good movie or chill out reading
24. I prefer online messengers and e-mail as opposed to using cell phones
25. I really want to experience a real Halloween in the US

stuff :: omnomnom

I hate having to come up with imaginative titles :P 

Teaser for my comic, which I'm coloring at the moment. It's the comic I turned in as a final project for Perspective last year. Hopefully it'll be up soon, my Photoshop isn't really cooperating with such large files :O

some random sketches done in Photoshop while watching lectures :P


some homework for Clothed Figure Drawing.. that class is so much different from what I thought it was.. its focus is way out of my comfort zone, but I love it nonethless ^^
