Week 3 done! Here's the drawings for the 12th through the 19th, except for the 14th, which is right here. For Valentine's Day and whatnot. I probably should have posted it a few days ago. Oh well. I think that's all I have news-wise, so I'll be back next week with seven more drawings.

Week two of Daily Draw February is done! These ones don't all stand on their own as well as last week's, so I put them all in one big collage, which you can see here. In date order, they are:
2/5 - The only presentable thing I could come up with that night.
2/6 - A little mountain scene. Unfortunately, that's its actual size, otherwise I probably would post that one by itself.
2/7 - A cow in a sombrero.
2/8 - A giant lucario trying to get a date with the Statue of Liberty.
2/9 - Little pattern thing that looked cooler in my head.
2/10 - Random fox thing, couldn't decide on a color.
2/11 - I was drawing a weasel and I screwed up the lower body in such a way that it somewhat resembled a dress, so I decided to roll with it.
Seven more drawings will be posted next week.
Additionally, all this week I've been working on the Arcade section. I added dialog windows, so now it's a little more like an actual game. As there is no plot, characters, or world, you'll have to be satisfied with reading a couple signs for now. But hey, it's another step in the right direction.

Alright, as previously mentioned, I'm drawing a picture every day for the duration of the month. February started on a Wednesday, so I only have four pictures to present this week. Click the thumbnail to see the full image:
2/1 - I was going to draw a lucario, but I figured I should at least wait a day or two before predictably drawing pokemon, so halfway up the legs I stopped and turned it into a fox thing instead.
2/2 - Ponies are popular right now. Particularly one called 'Derpy'. Derpy's alternate name is 'Ditzy Doo'. There is a well-known Yoshi's Island level named 'Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy'. Therefore, bad pun drawing.
2/3 - I promised a guy I'd draw him a shiny typhlosion like two years ago. Here it is!
2/4 - A car. Stopped it halfway through because I was drawing kinda crappily tonight (it took several redos to get it looking that decent).
So there's week 1. I'll be back next week to post seven new drawings. If you'd like to see what everyone else is drawing, the Daily Draw February event is located on this tumblr page. Also, if you want yet another way to find out when I'm updating, here's a Google+ page you can follow. I probably won't be using it for anything other than "hey, I updated" messages, so if you're already following the forum, RSS, or Twitter, or just don't care, then there's no need to join up. Continue on your merry way.
I also updated the Art section to show the various pictures I've uploaded in the past few months. The thumbnails are really starting to pile up in there (there's like 80 now), so at some point I'm probably going to break it down into categories for easier navigation and loading.

Hey, remember all those site functionality and Arcade updates I was talking about two weeks ago? Well, I didn't do any of those. Instead, here's a drawing of a very tiny weasel sleeping on a pillow. This weekend has been kind of busy, so you don't get much rambling banter either. In February I'm going to be participating in a "draw something every day" activity on a forum I go to, so at least there will be guaranteed bi-weekly updates until March (maybe weekly if the doodles get too big to put in a reasonably-sized collage).

Sup? I did what I said I'd do, and put the site back to its default theme. Same with the forum. However, I also added a new feature for those of you who would like to use a seasonal theme year-round. For forum members, there will be a theme-switcher dropdown in the lower left corner of the forum pages. Well, it's actually been there for years, but never did anything. Now you can switch to the Christmas or Halloween themes, and upon logging in on the main site (here), you'll see the change reflected here as well. I'm planning to add the site theme from last April Fools' Day to the options, but since that theme didn't have a forum theme to go with it, it'll have to wait until I get around to making one.
As for actual site content, I do have some art this week. Back in 2009, I doodled some pictures, including a flareon, on my class syllabus. I only ever colored the flareon. Well, the other day I reopened the file to fix the flareon's nose, as it happened to be bugging that day for whatever reason. Somehow I ended up with this instead. It's weird the things I'll make on impulse. They're often better than the things I actually plan ahead of time.
The next things on the to-do list for site functionality are specific art pages so that I don't have to link you to images sitting in white nothingness, and some revamps of the comic navigation graphics. I've also been working on some new features for the Arcade. As for art and comics, well, we'll just have to see what impulses I have.

What's up? I finished that art thing that I was supposed to have finished a couple weeks ago. Here's your Free Request Friday II image. It contains: An upside-down top hat with a ferret in it, Prinny being creepy at his computer, a lust wizard, a sandshrew dancing with a pineapple, a luxray, cake, and a magical girl Sentinel.
There are also a few other artpdates. Here's an eevee I scribbled in about ten minutes. I like the sloppy look, so it'll probably stay that way. Here's a thing I started making for this year's Eevee Day, that never really got finished. I might post a nicer version eventually. Probably with more shading and party hats. Lastly is a picture I drew several months ago and was never able to post because it was made for an activity on another forum. It's supposed to connect to a series of pictures drawn by other people to form one huge picture. As such, the fifty pixels on the left side don't actually belong to me. If the finished product ever materializes, I'll make sure to link it here.
This holiday theme has been up for a few weeks now, but if you only stop by through the RSS feed, you may only just be seeing it for the first time. I like it. It won't be up for much longer though, since tonight is New Year's. I'll probably revert back to the generic theme afterwards, or maybe just make some general, blueish, winter theme.
So, I've cleared out most of the stuff I've had sitting around in 2011. Nothing to do now but wait till 2012. I've streamlined my site so much this year that I don't even get to change the little date in the footer anymore. The thing changes itself... Actually, with the current theme you can't see the date in the footer because the text is white. I'll fix that right now.
2/1 - I was going to draw a lucario, but I figured I should at least wait a day or two before predictably drawing pokemon, so halfway up the legs I stopped and turned it into a fox thing instead.
2/2 - Ponies are popular right now. Particularly one called 'Derpy'. Derpy's alternate name is 'Ditzy Doo'. There is a well-known Yoshi's Island level named 'Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy'. Therefore, bad pun drawing.
2/3 - I promised a guy I'd draw him a shiny typhlosion like two years ago. Here it is!
