Bleh.


Feeling sick-ish again.
I don't know why I'm always so sick when I start my period. The craps are horrifyingly bad and I just feel like vomiting all day. It was going better for a while but now it's bad again. *sigh* I'm hoping this miracle medication they gave me before will work again. At least I got to sleep last night. Usually when I sleep a little the pain fades a bit. So I feel a bit better today then yesterday morning. Still wish I wasn't going in to work though.
At least the weekend is here! Yaaaaay.
This weekend, my friend Fauve is visiting. There's a con in Montreal (Otakuthon) and it's also my friend's Sofi's birthday. So I won't be drawing much this weekend. But it's okay. dqbunny is still tweaking out the dialogue for the first chapter of Namesake, so I can take a drawing break. I managed to finish drawing the prologue! Yaaaay! :D IT'S ADVANCING YOU GUYYYYYS!
I'll leave you guys with these following fairy tale pictures. They aren't drawn by me. They are from a really old fairy tale book my mom found at work (she's the library technician at the Eduction Ressource Center of the Ottawa University). They have really amazing fairy tale books! And most of these are going to go into storage pretty soon. So sad...

This Beauty had EVIL SISTERS! It's the original version of the tale, and she totally did. Check out these b*tches.

*Gasp* She's reading! Oh noes!

OH NO TWO WOLVES! (There's actually more on the second page where the text is).

Beast, I love your castle.


Who needs a pocket version of the magic mirror?


I didn't get many scans of the beast. Here, beast dying.

And then he upgrades to...Swan-man?

That Beauty and the Beast book is absolutely gorgeous! I'd buy it if I saw it in a store (too bad that thing is probably way out of print). Thanks so much for scanning it!

And wow that's a pretty book. I like beasts castle both inside and out. I want to live in menacing raven fortress with the awesome interior! Though how does beast end up dying in the book?

Also, you're going to Otakuthon? Hopefully I'll be able to catch a glimpse of you in real life!

Those are gorgeous. Do you know when the book was published?

Omg, beautiful <3 I know this sounds ridiculous but I love the way Beauty's hair is drawn. It's like silk!
Have you ever come across the illustrators John Bauer and Kay Nielsen? They're my absolute favorites. I wish there was an illustration community on LJ!! Is there? Bleh :| I'm pretty sure there was a children's book one but someone said it was abandoned.

Oh, those illustrations are very pretty!
Kinda wish I had the weekend off, but I guess working 3 and 4 days in a row isn't as bad as 5.

I've actually been fairly lucky with my periods, though the symptoms change month to month. Usually I get cravings for greasy food or soda. Sometimes I do have cramps and usually I just try to sleep them out. Mike got to witness his first period with me in July and poor baby, I don't think it was fun for him.

I have to say, I have read Beauty and the Beast, but never one so beautifully illustrated! It is a shame that book is going in to storage, but I guess it's better than being thrown out...somehow. Regardless, I did always like the story, except how wishy washy Beauty was as a character. So sad she stays away from Beast because her sisters convince her to! I actually read an adaptation of it in school (a friend loaned it to me) that was just called 'Beauty', I think... It did a great job really expanding on the story, but the ending was so rushed it ruined the book for me. Regardless, evil sisters are evil, but somehow turning them into stone statues will help them learn not to be evil? Yay, story logic!

I ADORE the art nouveau look to the design and there's something very chic about the evil sisters' dresses.
Though Beast turning out to be a Swan Prince (is that you Mytho?) is kind of weird.(no subject)

I've been taking birth control off and on for the last year or so for regularity + acne problems. When I'm not taking it, the first day is usually rolled up in a ball crying with a heating pad, but while I'm on it, I can honestly say that I've noticed a difference in cramps and *ahem* other... problems... Are you on it? Or maybe have you tried it?
