I’m that person that carries a dozen various pens and pencils at all times, but is reluctant to let you borrow one. Hopefully, this sketch blog will amuse you.

&lt;p&gt;Yes no maybe….I’ll let you guys know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, I made up my mind.&lt;a href="http://livestream.com/ridiqlum"&gt; I’ll be starting up the stream in a few.&lt;/a&gt; I’m gonna do some doodling (Ichisumi?) and you never know I may play a little Amnesia: The Dark Descent or Counter Strick: Global Offense. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Livestream in a few!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And the livestream is over…it was a deadstream…:/ Maybe next time!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time for Counter Strike then!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our Graphic Designer asked me to create an animated .gif for our website for pages that are under construction, featuring our Lab Manager and our Durst Theta, which everyone has a love/hate relationship with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My manager now feels he is famous. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the first time I’ve been paid to animate. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/52200355223</link><guid>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/52200355223</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Jun 2013 01:09:45 -0400</pubDate><category>ridiqlum art</category><category>ridiqlum animation</category><category>animation</category><category>digital art</category><category>.gif</category></item><item><title>I’ve been so stupid busy with life lately guys.

I’ve been working out everyday to get back in shape (Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred. It’s works). Trying to wipe hard drives and reinstall OS’s…it’s been some stuff. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, work has suddenly been slow, and since I don’t have Illustrator on my work computer to work on comissions, I draw in FireAlpaca when no one is looking. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve been on a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Graham"&gt;Martha Graham&lt;/a&gt; kick as of late (if you don’t know who she is, look in to her. She’s awesome) so here are some doodles I’ve done based on “Night Journey”.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/50633650293</link><guid>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/50633650293</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 00:55:49 -0400</pubDate><category>ridiqlum art</category><category>digital sketch</category><category>martha graham</category><category>night journey</category></item><item><title>Vectors are tedious, but I suppose they are necessary.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0e4bc799726165c434844621d419c57e/tumblr_mmeynurCkS1rtgscio1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vectors are tedious, but I suppose they are necessary.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/49838179130</link><guid>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/49838179130</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 01:45:30 -0400</pubDate><category>ridiqlum art</category><category>vector</category><category>illustrator</category><category>ridiqlum commission</category></item><item><title>retroheavy:

&lt;p&gt;This is a rough sketch of Tatsuya, Ichisumi’s “lover”. I say lover in quotes because though they felt strongly for each other, they never had a physically amorous relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tatsuya doesn’t come from a severely poor family, but he is by no means well-to-do. Add to this that he is not the first son, meaning he will not inherit his father’s possessions, and he doesn’t do so well financially. He falls for Ichisumi before she becomes a maiko. Back in those days, her name was Setsuko.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to design Tatsuya a gentle giant. Large and intimidating by looks, but actually kind and often quiet spoken. He doesn’t mind his lot in life at all….that is until money separates him from Setsuko.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/48989287019</link><guid>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/48989287019</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:16:43 -0400</pubDate><category>Ichisumi</category><category>Tatsuya</category><category>Character Design</category><category>digital sketch</category><category>ridiqlum livestream sessions</category><category>ridiqlum art</category></item><item><title>Livestreaming Now</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livestream.ridiqlum.com"&gt;Working on a Commission for album art/promo stuff.&lt;/a&gt; This gonna be Illustrator work.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/48982249888</link><guid>http://ridiqlum.tumblr.com/post/48982249888</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Apr 2013 00:05:36 -0400</pubDate><category>ridiqlum livestream sessions</category></item><item><title>theworldhereinmymind:
