secondlinaOkay! I'm starting a little something I tried to do last year. It's basically a bit gift-of-sketches for the holidays to my f-list.
I'm basically going to do a little sketch for the people on my f-list as a Christmas gifts and just because you guys are so awesome. There's a few ground rules though.
1) Not everybody will get a sketch. This is mostly for my f-list. So if you aren't on it and I don't know you, you probably won't be getting one (i'm sorry! Thanks for reading anyways! I feel kinda cruel now...)
2) These are gifts, meaning that I get to choose what I want to draw. This is not an open book for requests, unless I ask you what you want directly. I'm mostly putting this rule down because this is the reason I didn't try this last year. First person I told asked for specific drawings and got angry when I said I wanted to choose the subject. Needless to say, this person is no longer on my list. However, chances are, if i'm well-aware of what your favorite fandom is, you're getting what you want! :D
3) Some sketches will be more finished then others, some might even be colored. It doesn't mean I love some people more. It just means I felt like coloring that sketch.
So, first Christmas sketch goes to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chameleon9999 - Some Vidia and Prilla art! Because you mentioned not finding enough! I hope you like it!
I don't draw many female duos/couples despite a large amount of friends asking me to. I wonder why? I seem pretty good at it.
I also drew the Tangled sketch I really like of Rapunzel and Flynn hanging out in the forest. I might finish it. I rather like it. I'm a little frustrated because I find these characters so hard to draw. Their designs are actually quite simple. Maybe it's looking at all the awesome Glen Keane art and the amazing fanarts that makes me frustrated. Those artists and their obvious epic superiority! *shakes fist*
In other news, I think I may need to spend on winter gear YET AGAIN. I think my body produces no heat or something. Winter kills me every year. I get sick all the time and I get massive frostbite. It snowed for the past two days and it made me realize that no matter how good my winter gear is, it's not good enough! The skin on my legs is all damaged, despite leggings, thick jeans and leg warmers. What's a girl to do? I need a coat made out of polar bears who swallowed microwaved sunlight, or SOMETHING. Or I need to move to Florida. I wonder if they have work there? Probably not. Economy is pretty horrible. But at least it would be cheap to buy a house, unlike in Montréal.
I'm starting to think about buying a condo eventually. I'm hesitating between having a house and a condo since it's pretty much impossible to have a house in the city. So I have to choose between not having a yard and driving 45 minutes every morning. Not I kinda understand why my parents were living in the suburbs (as a teen I hated all the bus rides).

Date: 2010-12-08 06:03 pm (UTC)Hmm...I can see why it's a hard choice. After the wedding Stu and I are going to attempt to save up so we're able to buy a small house. I know we could get an apartment, but I figured it would be easier to save up when we don't have to pay rent at the same time (and we want a yard for future dogs.)

Date: 2010-12-09 04:58 pm (UTC)It's probably easier for you to buy a house if you're still in the maritimes.

You don't like your super awesome apartment anymore?

Date: 2010-12-08 06:22 pm (UTC)(I'm not planning to move now or even soon. I lack too much money! This is more of a plan in the new few years. Not to mention the pure badassess of my apartment makes the wait very bearable)
Dude. We still need to spend a whole day together just sketching. That would be awesome :D

Date: 2010-12-08 06:54 pm (UTC)Aw, that sucks. The whole point of gift art is being surprised! If that person wanted something super-specific, s/he should have just paid for a commission. :P
Your rant about the cold makes me grateful that I live in California. When I moved to Colorado for my old job, the snow nearly killed me! So I couldn't imagine living in a place like Canada!
And even though I'd love to have ya in California, I'd recommend Texas if you ever decide to move to the USA for a warmer climate (last time I checked, their economy is doing alright).

Date: 2010-12-08 07:17 pm (UTC)Anyway, my sister has been a stick and stuck in places like Idaho since forever now. She got something called "Pepper Skins", which is just a nice name for "thermal underwear" (or long johns). The trick is to buy clothing and things that are good at keeping your body heat contained. So...don't wear cotton in wintertime!
Don't feel too inadequate compared to artists like Glen Keane. Heck, just think: He's the son of a comic artist (Family Circus...ha!), so just imagine what your kids' art ability will be like! ^_-

Woot to Christmas sketches! Smart to put down the rules like that, it'll make the choice more fun verses a task of trying to find references for characters you have no idea who they are (I tried this before, and it was quite difficult!) Good luck! Can't wait to see what you draw for everyone! :P

Date: 2010-12-09 05:42 pm (UTC)I was never able to draw the powerpuff girls either. But I think it was not a question of them being simple or not. It was the stylization that was so strong.

Date: 2010-12-09 08:13 am (UTC)And I would suggest going with the Condo, considering that you won't have pets and the drive isn't really worth it if you get a good one. Or you could find a nice place that isn't TOO far from Montreal. Bountiful here is only a 10ish minute drive from Salt Lake City.
It really is too bad that you can't have a pet. I'll probably have to give mine up before I move to Gatineau (When that time comes, of course.) SOMEONE is allergic. We think. Haha...
