I salute my fangirl shorts, internet! Not only is this gift art for the man for his birthday, but this was also an excuse to let my fandom fly considering that they are all either my favorite lead characters or damned near close to it. (In the case of Alex and Cecil, they were even among my favorites before being made moreso by the LOL-enthal. :P) Why else would I call this Party For Me? XD

My favorite part about this, though… FACE-PULLING. You know Luke and Asch would have totally been making with the face-pulling and lots of yelling. XD; Also I’m still stupidly fixated on Luke’s Berserker costume title so I had to use it here. It’s just that awesome. :(

I was going to stick Haseo in Xth form but Asch’s armor was already stupidly detailed and Haseo’s Xth form outfit is even moreso and by the time I got to that point during the line art I was all “screw that, I’m just doing first form, it’s the lesser of four evils.” That and it’s Haseo’s most recognizable form anyway, so…

Alex and Cecil = BROS FOREVER. “Dood next door” heroes represent! :D

Yeah, this has been tweeted out. I await the fallout of lulz that will ensue… because I just couldn’t leave well enough alone after that Pancakealypse thing. In the meantime, I junk out on Lunar.

WIPs: wire, line art: Yuri, Cornelius, Death Grunty, line art: Gig, Luke, Asch, line art: everyone else + kitty!

Dear internet, I am not being a naughty Instant Ramen artist and working on something awesome without as much as posting WIPs on the blog.

…pay no attention to that open Painter window with an open PSD file inside… >_>;;;

(Totally lying through my teeth here. I have my reasons! Some of you are privy to what I’m cooking up, though– and would certainly know not to leak, ESPECIALLY on the twitter machine… *eyes neophoenixte* Playing Lunar may have derailed me JUUUUUST a tad, but I finished the line art on this secret ramen that is FULL OF WIN a few minutes ago and I hope to have this thing colored and posted by tomorrow evening. Taking a break and posting this non-hint while I nom on dinner.)

♥, Yoshi

Nothing more to say here. Fullview this sucker, doods!

Previously-posted WIPs: wire + Hikaru ink, rear ink, full ink, character color

Wondering if I should go for glory and just stay up until I finish…?
It wouldn’t take much longer to do the background/etc, I was painting pretty much all day (started after making that last post, actually), I stopped to screencap when Craig Ferguson started and because this seemed like an appropriate point to get a WIP shot before I do background/final touchups.
I wonder if I should stick a bleeding Crimson Cross on Lord Numair’s forehead? o_o;

…bah, I’ll do it tomorrow… er, later today. You get the idea.

also LOL @ mother, who saw this when she brought up dinner and thought Lord Numair was one of Robert’s WoW characters. XD; Bro doesn’t have any redheads, for one thing. He’s got a Death Knight (and Lord Numair’s Death Maximillian looks like something a Death Knight would wear) but dood is most definitely NOT a dragon.

“He looks dead.”
- “He IS dead. Dead and STILL has a deathwish!”
“Like… ‘put me out of my misery’ kind of dead?”
- “Yes! :D”

XD

Loyal minion-doods, GIFs and macros are no longer enough to act as our “condiments of daily internet living.” Inspired partially by NSFW, here are some youtubes and such that should provide some much-needed aural spice that could, used properly, convey the appropriate assessment of the win or fail (…mostly fail, as it may seem here).

Instant Rimshot, for those “ZING!” moments. You, too, can get your inner late-night host on. Press the big red button, receive BA-DUM-TISH!

Instant Crickets, for when someone says something really un-funny (but not offensive). Again, press the big green button, and receive crickets.

(iPhone/iPod Touch owners take note: The above along with “golf clapping” and “sad trombone” are available as a free app, search for “Rimshot & Crickets” in the app store.)

Next up is the Fail Horn, hailing from the Price is Right, but we of the internets have coopted it as the sound of EPIC FAILURE. (YouTube sauce!) Sadly I have yet to see an iPhone or other cell phone-friendly equivalent of this. :(

Dramatic Look is another favorite, and has widely circulated the internets (and has even made some appearances on TV). Nice for those “OMFG!” moments.

And finally, my personal favorite, BOO THIS MAN! I heard it on NSFW and just HAD to find it and once again, YouTube delivers. Even now I crack up every time I watch this. IDEAL for those moments that just demand that the source of such failure GTFO. It is available in GIF form but you NEED the sound for maximum effect.

Tell me, internets, what are your favorite sound bites meant to express epic win, epic fail, GTFO or what have you? :D

and yes, I am totally stalling on coloring that ramen. Or not. Nothing really on TV, and I don’t think my brother is awake yet for me to go bother him in WoW (not that he considers it “bother” but it just sounds fun to say. BOTHER BOTHER BOTHER) so, just… I dunno. DOOD.
