Because i'm a big fat geek and I know it...

[secondlina]

Well, I was going through my props and costumes today because I am starting a photo project about fairy tales (aka, I get to dress people up! Squee!)

And I found a few things that made me think of Renge. So guess what I did?

Yes, that's right. I took a break from my pile of work to go cosplay Renge.

I'm such a geek.

The photos turned out very nice though! I love the hair! ^^ I think I imitated well the positions and attitude I imagined for the character.
And for those who wonder: I forgot to write it down but Renge DOES wear glasses. But only to read.

I kinda wanna make icons from these. But I suck at iconing.

p.s. why is it the photos where I actually look cool, i'm dressed up? *sigh* Why am I not pretty as myself --_--



Peace out.


Fireball, bitch!



Looking up and pretty!



Renge, the sad mage.


Casting a spell! (I swear I did not tweak this with photoshop...It's the flash reflection. Looks cool though!)

I suddenly have this image in my mind called "Isa's Wildest Fantasies" and they're all of Link dressed in different costumes - a toga, Jack Sparrow, various characters from Kingdom Hearts, Zel, Xelloss, other characters. "Don't you have anything better to work?" "No! Now, stop interuppting my fantasies!"

WORK: "Pay attention to meeeeee!"

I need to look up Cindy Sherman's work. It sounds really interesting. What sort of digital are you using?

poor Link. Now i'm actually going to have to draw that as a comic. *smicks*

gosh, I really love cindy sherman. I'm impressed in how used herself has a model for years. I kinda want to try it a bit, but i,m also going to use other people. I also want to try to do more photoshop alterations to the pictures.

I take photos in Raw or high Jpg format. My camera is a kodak easyshare p850.

cyperian just spent more than $10,000 on camera equipment, including the latest Canon digital SLR. Notice the nice tinge of green that my face has taken. Another friend of ours nearly fainted when she got a chance just to hold the body of the SLR.

I have a Nikon myself, and it's a decent little camera. It's not an SLR, but like you, I tend to take photos in high JPG. I don't think this camera has a RAW mode, I could be wrong.

Let me introduce you to my friend, Martin Gee. He's a designer, but he is so, so much more. His work is outstanding and he's considered to be one of the best in my field. He's also a really nice guy and is absolutely hilarious. I was very lucky enough to attend one of his Photoshop panels at our industry conference last year and the room was so crowded that we broke several fire codes and had people literally sitting on top of each other. I think you'll like his work a lot.

Oh! knightreborn told me that you are also a fan of Fables. ^_^

I really like that X-mas tree project he did in his photo gallery. O_O Your friend seems to be very talented! I'll have to look at everything on his site.

And yes (damn you wesley, you talk to much XD) I'm a big fan of fables. I've always loved myth and legends and fairy tales, ever since I was little (I've been buying books upon books of it since I was five) So when I saw the comic book of Fables (That wesley told me to purchase) I read the damn thing...then I read it again. And again. Then I realised I was in love! ^^ Fairy tales in our modern world is a subject that has always fascinated me, so fables and me was instant love.

I'm also a fan of Bone, Blankets, Runaways, Scott pilgrim and Elfquest. (In the american comic department anyways)

My friend, Celeste, is a huge fan of the Pinis. She's met them before through the con she works for (her hometown is the same as Wesley's ^_^)

My boss was the one who told me about Fables and I devoured the books after my interview here. I've never gotten that much into American comics, but now I'm wanting to explore more.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I don't know much about american comics either. The kind I know the most is european. Then manga of course.

If you're looking for some good readings, ask Wes. He's the man when it comes to english panels.
