1. TJ Lux, taking a brief reprieve from a visit with his family in Nevada, and having a beer to himself in the foothills. Pausing in his thoughts, if only to think of someone.

2. ...the day I learn to fly.

3. Jake lost in thought, while Lux decides that he's had enough of the cold and the snow and heads back to the hangar to go warm up.

4. He's good at making her blush.

      <title>beer, noodles, and three cheese ranch dressing by MZK490-1</title>
      <description>I need a bigger scanner; taken with mien camera. This sketchbook is ridiculously big. 8|

Another bus doodle of Dex during her flight school years.

Siekre: "Oh hi! I'm your new roomie!"
Dex: "...wicked."

My cousin's character Siekre just moved in to become Dexter's new roommate. The two share the upstairs floor of an aging home belonging to a senile old lady who blames the two for everything that's wrong in the world and insists that Siekre is Japanese.

That'd be an unearthly combination of beer, noodles, and three cheese ranch dressing that Dex is munching away at while studying and looking either pretty hung over or just really, really tired. She's actually a pretty decent cook when she wants to be, however she's poor and jobless at this moment. 8D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://gearotter.artspots.com/image/29868/beer-noodles-and-three-cheese-ranch-dressing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/29868/thumb_210/beernoodlesandthreecheeseranchdressing.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: Pencil&lt;br /&gt;Tags: wolf hybrid Ottiger Dexter Siekre&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>drown with me by MZK490-1</title>
      <description>Drown with me tonight,
Forget the world around you,
I'll sing to you softly 'till you drift to sleep...
...The world will end tomorrow, 
Baby we don't need it,
The world will fall apart,
And listen so will we...

-The Juliana Theory.


Sommat from the sketchbook.

      <media:description>Drown with me tonight,
Forget the world around you,
I'll sing to you softly 'till you drift to sleep...
...The world will end tomorrow, 
Baby we don't need it,
The world will fall apart,
And listen so will we...

      <description>Key:  "...AND STAY TH' HELL OUTTA HERE!"
Lux:  "EGGS, DEX?  EGGS?  Next time you pull something, leave me out of it!"
Dex:  "OLOLOLOLOL!"


Something little out of my sketchbook.  One thing Dex enjoys doing is pulling practical jokes on her fellow pilots and co-workers.  Key the supervising AME[aircraft maintenance engineer], tends to be a frequent target of her antics.  

And Lux is just along for the ride.

      <title>lazy morning by MZK490-1</title>
      <description>Something that just. Started to grow on me. Something simple, something... Ordinary.

I guess I just got tired of wacky antics or epic scenes.

Lux and Dexter spending a morning away from the hangar together to waste time doing nothing other than just enjoying each others company. Dex has a bit of a sweet tooth; that'd be chocolate syrup she's squeezing onto her tongue. And Lux is, well. Pretty much used to her bizarre habits and quirks, focusing more on the cross-word puzzle at hand.

The cactus' name is Sparticus and was a gift from Lux to Dex, though at times he thinks she likes it more than she does him.

And. Yeahhh... My sketchbook is far too large for this scanner. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://gearotter.artspots.com/image/29158/lazy-morning"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/29158/thumb_210/lazymorningmarked.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: pencil&lt;br /&gt;Tags: pilots Morning Lux breakfast Dexter&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <description>Uh.

This is Delores, one of GlennAir's three MD-11s. She's a hangar queen. I hate her. She brings me bad luck in Photoshop.  There's so much more I wanted to do to this, but now I can't, thanks to the file being FUBAR'd. =\

Anyhow.

Lux and Dex flying off /somewhere/ to go deliver cargo all around the world. Lux is happily snoozing away while Dex minds the aircraft. Not that she really minds, though she's tempted to roll the plane just to wake her captain up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://gearotter.artspots.com/image/29074/fl36000"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/29074/thumb_210/delores.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: photoshoops&lt;br /&gt;Tags: Flying pilots aviation pilot airplane MD-11&lt;br /&gt;</description>

For me this was more than just a painting of two characters in a cockpit. This is my dreams, my aspirations, my very being poured into a single image. It's been ten years too long; ten years since I gave up on that dream; bullied out of me by my peers.

But now. I've once again taken a hold of that dream, now stronger, confident, and more determined than before. I want this more than ever, more than before. I /need/ this.
