WINTER I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME! *sobs*

[secondlina]

Okay. Winter in Montréal is disgusting. It's the first winter i'm spending here where it snows a lot. Last year, we barely had snow. Everything is gray and brown and squishy looking and disgusting and wet and why winter WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

I guess that's how it is in big cities. Oh god Toronto must be horrible.

In other news, I have plans. Yes. Plans. Artsy plans.

I want to make myself a tumblr account and re-post some older comics. Try to get people to spread the comics around. I also need to re-work my online portfolio. I'm also working on Namesake pages (as usual) and on my printed comic "Psychopompes"

Last but not least, with the help of friends I seem to be writing a wannabe Disney movie.

I want to apply to Disney's talent program, thanks to ichiban_victory 's and merc16 's constant encouragement, so I want to add character designs and storyboard to my portfolio. Turns out, it's hard to do those two things without a story. So I created a makeshift fairy-tale based Disney-esque story. I really can't wait to show you guys. The tale is based on the fairy tale "Diamonds and Toads". But it's...huh... gonna need a better title. Something catchy.

I may doing too much, will all this Christmas shopping, and intensive drawing, and general worrying about friends and lack of sleeping. But I can't help myself. I love going to extra mile (miles). I can probably sleep during Christmas.

Today's drawing is a "Princess Tutu" fanart. I just wanted something light and fun with the main couple. I'm not a huge fan of the inking and coloring though. I tried doing it with a calligraphy pen.



My posts are all over the place lately. So am I. I'm so sorry. I'm pretty much repeating myself. A LOT. Must be tired.

Yes! Come out to LA -- we're only slightly evil, and full of false magic .. but we still have most of the animation! And it never snows! X)
Sounds like you have loads of awesome projects ... I'm going to consider you my role model because I want to start working on my comic .. and get my artistic life together. (go go winter break! ... wait .. Tron comes out tonight? FFF - WHAT ART?) X)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I love being Canadian though. Otherwise, you bet i'd be nice and toasty in LA. Oh yes. YES.

LOL US ARTIST ARE SO PROFESSIONAL when pretty pretty movies come out.

[disembodied-cat.livejournal.com]

I understand - Canada is in better shape than some .. certain .. countries .. at the moment. >_>;; And the moose! :D
But I know loads of lovely Canadians down here! X)

Yeah, there's a lot of us in Florida too. :D

OMG! I love Fakir and Ahiru! This is a really cute picture! Snow is pretty gross here too, but I love winter so it don't bother me as much!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I don't mind snow per say. I just don't know if this... floor padding here is still qualified to be "snow". It's pretty icky.

[midoriri.livejournal.com]

...there's a Disney talent-program? ....Must be costly. Q_Q

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Now really. They pay you to work. But you need to move and get an appartment for the duration of it, of course.

What awesome detail on her wings! Miles better than what I can do on paper! All my stuff has to be digital or else I get eraser smudges everywhere! (Plus you can't erase pen D: )

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I cheat - I do all the messy sketch work with a blue pencil (including eraser smudges) and then ink with black ink on top. I then scan it in photoshop and remove all the blue by clicking a single button. So I get "nice" hand drawn elements and I hide all the hard work :D

[chameleon9999.livejournal.com]

Still it must be great to work on paper and actually be satisfied with something! I don't think I've actually hand drawn and scanned anything in in almost 10 years! D:

[darkwaterfrey.livejournal.com]

Great poses and nice inks!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thankies!

Oooooh, artsy plans are the best plans!!

I have a Tumblr account that I use to post various cool looking things I stumble across. I find it to be pretty neat in that way.

OOOOh, and lots of luck with the Disney thing! :DD

And be sure to take care of yourself better girlie! Don't make me come up there and get after you, cause I so will!!

And *squeeeeeee* at Fakiru fanarts!!!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I SAW your tumblr. You're part of the reason I now want one. I will probably mostly put up my own drawings, but still.

So, if I remain sick, you,ll visit?

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

:DDD Glad you liked it!!

It was the Oz jewlery, wasn't it?


If I sell a kidney and some plasma, I think I can swing it, lol!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

The Oz jewelry actually captured Dqbunny's interest more! I was just amused by all the geekness! :D

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

LOL, I know! She squeed at me via Twitter about some of it. I think it was the Tin Man necklace that did her in...

Well, I'll be sure to follow yours if you set one up. We can be geeky together!

Princess Tutu! <333

I have yet to visit Canada, I do want to see what it's like!

Oh, my God, I would love it if you could get into Disney's talent program!

Don't wear yourself out too much, 2011 is almost here!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Canada is pretty much like northern states. œxcept maybe more polite :D

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

Canada = kinder, gentler U.S. I personally love visiting Canada since people just seem much nicer. My mom likens Canada to the U.S. in the 1950s, which I have no personal experience with, but overall it is more enjoyable when visiting large cities. Also, everything feels very similar to the U.S. (there are a lot of common shops and general attitudes), so it's not really a culture shock at all.

Plus, Canadian currency is so much fun!

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Ha. I've only been in Bahrain for a little over a week and it hasn't been much of a culture shock to me.

Canada should be nothing in comparison.

I would hope so, Bahraini currency is confusing because it doesn't stay the same. @_@

Good luck!

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Christmas will drive you batty! Try not to burn yourself out my sweet! And of course good luck with the talent program! I have no doubt they'll accept you! =D

[engelen.livejournal.com]

great luck with everything! :D
