The Empire of Frans

Every Saturday night I get together with pals and watch some bad movie and make fun of it. Thing is, unless you're a professional comedian like the guys at MST3K, riffing is not going to keep your mind from wandering away from a cinematic turd. 

That's why I took to drawing Fran from Final Fantasy 12 on my Samsung tablet.

I don't like much about using a phone or a tablet to do things that are much easier in other mediums, and drawing on device glass is certainly one of those dislikes. No tooth to it. Like ice skating. 

 They say that the point of doing something hard is that eventually it becomes easier. Like exercise. People who say that don't have their lower half failing, looking at life wheelchair within the next decade or so. But this is just me being bitter about getting old. 

 I can see that saying being true here with the Frans. There is a lot more control even though the line quality is somewhere close to a quick sketch in a sketchbook than finished art. 

While it's hard to point at directly, every success builds upon what you're capable of doing normally.

Turns out having limitations makes you find ways to do what you were planning to do anyway. Even if it's just to spite those limits.

  

I'll keep doing these Frans for as long as it remains more entertaining than the Godfrey Ho movies in front of me. Making art on glass holds no interest to me given everything I don't like about it at least the option is there.
