Where's my brain gone?

[secondlina]

It's been a weird couple of days. I didn't really post much because I didn't really draw much. Work was pretty exhausting last week and drained me of my desire to draw. This week I kinda feel like I am standing on top of a giant mountain of to-do things, both at work and in my personal life. I wish I had some kind of magical assistant. The more work I seem to get, the more I just want to slug around and read. Bad, Bad Isa.

In other news, my antennas are gone. By that I mean the really long bangs I wear on both sides of my head. I decided to cut my hair really short and donated the antennas to "Wigs for Cancer" (I wasn't sure my antennas were long enough to be donated but yay, they were!). My hair is now really short. It's a nice change, easy to manage and it looks really cute. I really needed a change, as much as I loved my antenna hairdo. I think I might still keep drawing myself with that hairdo even if my real hair is spiky and short.

On the same day I got my hair cut I also jam packed a visit to the doctor's, dentist and oculist. I am in top shape (and out a fare share of money. curse you, lack of insurance! But I feel GOOOOD!)

This weekend I was out in Montreal. I wanted to go to the Montreal anime con (I was even invited to share an artist table) but in the end I spent the weekend slugging around on Link's furniture, with the exception of attending a Bar Mitzfa (Link's cousin's) which was pretty fun to watch (I wonder what it feels like to be top-jew-on-chair-being-carried-around heehee).

My first artwork of the week, finally getting slowly back into drawing.... It's a Princess Tutu Fanart and my entry for the Princess Tutu Club August Contest, ment to depict secondary characters. I chose to illustrate Drosselmeyer and Edel, specifically the creation of Edel. This is non-canon, since it was never explained how Edel was created, but I pictured Drosselmeyer using the hearts of blue birds to create a heart jewel allowing Edel to move, do his bidding and eventually develop feelings. It's a bit gruesome and creepy. It's a given fact that I add gruesome to everything that I draw. Drosselmeyer was already a good 7 on 10 in the creepy-o-matic scale though...



I am also doing Collaborations with kokumi009  (Piku-chan on Deviant art). We both exchanged sketches and are meant to alter and finish the given sketch. Piku got hers done right away. I'm still behind due to the insanity of last week. But lo and behold the Fantastic Job Piku did from my old LON possession sketch. It's amazing! I love it! It reminds me that I really need to learn photoshop and stop coloring EVERYTHING with inks and watercolors.



LON = HAWT.

As a final note GOOD GOD IT HAS TO STOP RAINING! IT'S BEEN RAINING ALMOST NON STOP FOR 3 WEEKS! ARGH! I AM TIRED OF BEING WET ON SMELLY BUSES!

Over and Out

I do like that drawing of Drosselmeyer and Edel. It does fit the characters. ^_~

I can't wait to see what you come up with for your collab with kokumi009

Also, good for you for donating hair. It's a good way to earn your angel wings. ^_~

The Princess Tutu fanart is so creepy, it's awesome.

I do like Edel. <3~

Awesome art baby! Poor blue birds! And the sketch your friend finished is fantastic (both sketch and finished piece! =D) I also need to learn photoshop!

Also, very cool that you donated your hair ;)

It's been raining here most of the time the past couple days. It's always fun in the land of rain eh?

The coloring job on that piece is gorgeous! Also I don't really know Princess Tutu that well but I love your piece for it. Very cool looking.

Nice that you donated your hair. :) Nicely done Isa!

Edel's character is so sad :(

...and by donating said hair, it will turn into a wig and I will be able to control someone from afar! MWAHAHAHA!

Princess Tutu is good anime. A little (lot) girly (the staff worked on sailor moon and Utena) but surprinsingly complex, witty and well written. If you ever feel like watching girly anime with plot, I suggest this one. Ridiculously weird scenes and poses might make you laughs though.

...er...I don`t own a camera XD It was stolen XD

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

XD Ah, the machinations of a villainess!

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

*RAGE* That's right, it was! >.<

....whoa. For some reason, I just got deja vu.

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Yeah-zura. :(

Ooooohhh, cool PT sketch! I hope more is in store for the future!

And I wanna see a pic of you with your new shorter do! I used to have short hair (and my driver's license still shows me with said short hair) and I've always gotten complimented on it. I haven't decided if I wanna go real short again soon...

(with all theslayers updates it took me long to find this thread)
that's really nice of you donating your hair. short and spiky hairdos have some kind of professional work look 8D

i have to say that's one dark drawing. i don't know anything about princess tutu but the emotion is very intense. i feel bad for the birds ;o;

WOW! thanks for reposting the collab! XD
if it's any conoslation i think those who dwell in traditional medium are more skillful. they have to be careful not to mistakes and maintain hand techniques.
i can't wait to see your side of the deal but don't rush lol
