See the city thru green lenses

[secondlina]

Hiya guys!

I finally got my new glasses!



It took a good day to get used to them (since the prescription is lower my eyes suddenly went "What, we have to work more? Heck no. Have blurriness!") but I think i'm good. The headaches seem gone (aside from the default "change of prescription" one I always get). It's a really different style from before, but it must suit me nicely because NOBODY noticed. I take that as a sign of "it looks natural and good".

I doodled a bit, mostly catching up on my pages. But I drew this really cool image of Emma in "Emerald City" fashion (including the goggles of course). It's one of the rare times I've drawn her smiling. Emma never smiles. She smiles a bit on the promotional material, but that's it. I think this is the widest smile I ever drew on her. I like little details like that though. Deciding what expressions a character uses it a lot. The face is where the personality of a character is shown.



At work today. It's so quiet. Quiet quiet quiet. People are still on vacation methinks. I'm jealous.

"it looks natural and good" Totally they are very nice ! I have black glasses too, because it is not a "Showy" color.

Today i read all pages of Namesake ( because i had the time to do it ) ( and you drew so many pages ! ) that is really good ! You sustain the tension all the time it's really nice to read, and i really like Jack :)


[ I FINNALLY saw Megamind ! And Oh My God ! That was awesome, at the end i was more excited than all the children in the cinema ... Quite original, it is beautiful, and Megamind is really great ]

Mine are actually dark pink (black looked way too severe against my pale skin) but the effect is pretty much the same. Not be showy, frame the eyes nicely! I'd like to see what yours look like!

Aw, thanks for taking the time to check it out! Feel free to comment if you keep reading! I love getting feedback from friends! And Jack likes to attract the girls :D

Woo! I'm glad you finally saw Megamind! what I tell you? WORTH EVERY PENNY!

By the way, do you use AIM or something? Google chat?

I found some images of the Art book it looks fantastic, but so expensive (the shipping cost) so i am puzzled. it totally worths it. My Boyfriend loves ACDC so we was actually dancing on our seats (poor kids behind us).
Yeah i am going to take some pictures because ... erm ... i have a new haircut and that's cool.

( i have this : pinkwater1211@hotmail.fr and fb if you want ! )

EEEEEEE! You look adorable, Isa!!!

And I likes the new art! Very cool! I like the goggles. Very steampunkish (which was probably what you were going for, eh?)


ETA: And it's quite likely I will make an icon (or two or three) out of art piece...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! I'm pretty happy with these frames.

What's the poitn of having a fantasy comic if I can't do steampunk? :D

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Cool! That's what matter anyway. Well, that and being able to see.

Exactly!

And I told you I'd probably make an icon. Only two at this point though.

They look great!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thankies!

(Man we should meet up soon! How have your vacations been?)

[starmetal-oak.livejournal.com]

They were good! I'm so exhausted lol.

Now that I have free time I'm trying to find a job!

YOUR GLASSES ARE VERY CUTE! You are also quite the doll ;D

As usual your use of texture is very wonderful and balanced. Very good coloring job, even through the color is a bright red the part the eye is most attracted is the face!

*laughing* *blushing*

I think it's because the character's skin tone is brown, it sorta mixes the coldness oft he green (the yellow in the skin) and the warmness of the red, thus making it the "neutral center" that attracts the eye.

You look great! They really suit you!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

WHY THANK YOU :D

[vonandmoggy.livejournal.com]

You look adorable...those are the perfect glasses on you!!! :D

Also, everyone at my work is off this week too...*pout*

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!

Us lonely lonely office-bound people really should do something. Like change everyone's screen savers.

It's a brand new life for me as well, vision-wise. I got to wear my new contacts today, but I'll admit, I'm sort of excited to be getting glasses again in a few weeks. Do you find it a pain picking out frames that look good with your face/head shape? That's the worst part about choosing glasses!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Well, when I pick glasses, I usually go with someone, since I can't see myself in the mirror at all (not without getting too close where I can't see the shape of my face anymore). This choice of frames is a combined effort of Link and a nice eye-doctor fellow. They actually pulled out a few pairs. This one was the second one pulled out and was just the most awesome of the bunch. My recommendation is to go with other people and to ask for help. A good employee will have experience in matching styles with faces and skin tones. You almost never see your own face, so the judgement of others really helps in this case. And you can give out the final call.

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

Yikes, that is a bit brutal. That was one nice thing about having contacts and choosing frames, I guess. Unlike the first time, I could actually see through the glasses... But yeah, I dragged my mom along the second time since my dad didn't think he was much help, and after bugging the employee a bit, I found a pair I really liked. I'm just amused the frames are close to my hair color (the only option), so the frames sort of disappear in my mass of hair.

I like seeing Emma smile :) I'm all about smiles though ;) The dress with goggles and even the chair are so fanciful awesome! =D

I like the new glasses as well, it's always nice to see pics of your friends here to keep a face with the personality ;)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

The Emerald city is mucho fancy :D

True, I like knowing what someone looks like!

[ozma914.livejournal.com]
