secondlina So, Today was a brain dead Isa dead. Returning to work combined with the fact that I spent the weekend working double on my comics... I'm really tired. I needed an evening of nothing but internet and calm to make me feel less like a zombie and more like me. I still drew a bit, but it made no sense :
A gothic lolita with a faun? What? See, this is why I need to take brain days. Looks cool though.
I also made sketch of Lady Amalthea for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snapdragon . I loved her sad eyes in the Last unicorn. Drawing her reminded me of my love for the series Elfquest. Boy, when I was younger I was in a huge Elfquest/Last unicorn kick. so I drew a lot of sad looking pale skinned pretty girls and elves riding mystical creatures. Anybody else remembers Elfquest? I still love it, though i'm not really impressed by all the spin offs. My favorite character is and remains Skywise. I think him and Schmendrick are the ones who started my love the the sarcastic ones in a group.
The Elfquest books got translated to french in color, which is why i'm aware of the series despite the fact that I didn't talk English as a kid. I remember my school library had the first 10 books. One was too damaged, so my mother (who worked there) needed to throw it out. She gave it to me instead. It was my precious for years. I STILL own that destroyed book. I tried to salvage it with tape and read it delicately. Lately, I bought all the english re-prints. Man. I loved this so much. If you don't know this and you like elves/nostalgic comics, read it now.
Aside from that, i've been craving the 50's. I want to buy a bunch of dresses from that era. I don't even know why! Why am I so obsessed with clothing from the 50's and 60's?
If you guys know a good website aside from Etsy where I can get my 50's fix, let me know.

Date: 2010-08-03 03:50 am (UTC)The only thing I ever drew recognizably was Skywise.
http://eveshka.deviantart.com/art/Skywise-11045215
Eveshka was my Glider elf on Two Moons MUSH. Her lifemate was Talyrath. Two years after I met him IRL, I married him.
Richard said he was okay with that being all his fault. XD
(My avvie there is the human rendition based on an old photograph. I don't look like that IRL. Well. At least, I mean I don't have purple eyes.)

I'm glad to see this series has greatly influenced other people as well.

Date: 2010-08-03 04:45 am (UTC)Wow, I've never heard of Elfquest. I guess that's not so unusual if I grew up being exposed to things decades before my time! O:) I might have to check it out.

Date: 2010-08-03 06:46 am (UTC)Also-- lolita fauns, totally an untapped market!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-03 01:30 pm (UTC)Yup, completely untapped. And I bet people whould love Faunlitas too. Maybe I should draw more in a less brain-blah state.
