Christina Grimmie

Christina Victoria Grimmie (March 12, 1994 – June 11, 2016)

I had no real idea of what to draw for this. All I know is that when I heard Christina Gimmie had been shot, I felt I had to draw something.

I first found out about Christina Grimmie when I watched her singing “Titanium” on Youtube. I found her singing to be incredibly moving, and that is as much as I knew her. Yet I feel terrible when I heard of her death, as so many of her fans did.

I don’t want to say much; just this. I think Christina was lost far too early, and I think her death was tragic. And while she might be gone, her songs live on. I’m not sure what kind of legacy that is, but I believe it is a kind of immortality. Christina, I can only say that I’m sorry you’re gone.

Sharing Water

Share with everyone, Pirate.

This is a return to the roots of Pirate blog. Back when I couldn’t draw backgrounds, and made my pictures a lot smaller.

…Come to think of it, I still can’t draw the sun. I guess I’ll work on that. Until then, stay hydrated everyone!

Last Regrets

Too late, guys.

From poetry and nice visuals to cold-blooded murder over graffiti. Yep, that pretty much sums up that blog. For the record, I don’t hate graffiti. It’s a really cool art form. I just hate graffiti on my stuff.

Learning to Fly

If you could step into the sky…

What is it like to fly?
How do you walk into the sky?
Tell me please, because I
I want to walk into the sky.

Overconfidence

Just humor him, and maybe he’ll sail away.

Have you ever been attacked by one of those tiny dogs? You know, chihuahuas or a similar breed that thinks it’s immortal? I hate those dogs. I just want to kick them, mainly because they’re trying to bite me. But seriously, sometimes you just have to realize you’re a small fish in a big ocean.

Medical Malpractice

The weird thing is that this is reality.

And we’re back to less graphics, more jokes. It’s really weird to me that doctors actually use super glue and tape in surgery. I feel like that’s wrong, but then again, I’m not a medical doctor. Yet.

Swamp Searching

Some things aren’t worth the effort, Pirate.

This new drawing style is taking longer than I’d like. And water is still really hard to draw. I might go back to my old methods in a while, but for now let me just say that I hate swamps. Anything could be lurking in those dark waters, and I for one don’t want to find out what’s down there.

Windy Days

Or is it a blustery day?

10 points if you get the reference in the caption above. Well, I’m working on backgrounds next. I’m please with how this picture came out, as I actually sorta believe there’s wind in it.

Point of actual fact: it was raining today. No wind in sight. You can’t have everything.

Clash (Sketch)

Everyone’s a critic.

This was…surprisingly hard to draw, even without having to worry about details as much. Looks like you can’t take shortcuts on the road to art, especially since I still can’t draw any kind of special effects.

Look at that blue blog that’s supposed to be a shock-wave thingy. It hurts. But improve and keep practicing! I do like the MS Paint-eqsue feel of this kind of drawing, though.

Staredown Sketch

It’s all just a bit unclear.

New art styles are hard to figure out. This is just a quick sketch of me trying out a new way to draw. It’s got promise, but I always find time is hard to balance against drawing a new picture every day. Hm. Well, that thing on Pirate’s chest is a bandolier, by the way.
