wow, it's been exactly 10 days since the last update...

[secondlina]

Okay, I suck. I can't wait for summer where I can update more often. Schoolwork just takes most of my time lately and I feel bad for my friends, my comics and my journal. And for me of course. God knows I love to spend days doing nothing else but reading a book. Soon my pretties, soon. For the school year ends on the 20th of april! MWAHAHA!

Other then that, I'm an awful driver. I mean, i'm quite terrible. People fear me on the road. I need to get better though because I want to pass the test that will allow me to have my permit. I figured I was most likely bad at driving because I don't like it. It's a necessary skill though, especially in north america where everything is miles apart. Maybe my lack of efficient driving is genetic?



I wish it was genetic, then i'd have an excuse. But naw...I just need to keep trying. ^_^

I didn't draw a lot of comic lately but I have taken a sinful amount of photograph and have loosely sketched a lot of stuff. I even took a shot at redesigning Lina's suit to give her a more casual wear wardrobe, but I think she would look much better in a suit. I've been drawing work creatures and several other creatures too. I'm currently obsessd about cool or cute creature things. You really should see my class notes. Covered in cuteness.



As for photo, I have a pretty good idea what i'm gonna do for the class...I'm putting in parallel old art and new art and the work of artists. So I took a lot of pictures of classmates and random friends while they were working on their artwork. I also took a portrait of myself. But the portrait of me if very different. It's not a work portrait. I tried to make it look like I was an Allegory of photo. An allegory is a genre from rennaissance where art, or muses, were represented. Later on, a few artists did self portraits with Allegories. The women artist Arthemisia Gentillesci did a portrait of herself AS an allegory of painting. There is no "Allegory of photo" because Allegories stopped being a genre way before cameras were invented so I kinda made up some of the symbolism in the picture based on old Allegories and artist self-portraits. I,m rather rpoud of the result! I even got to print it on CANVAS! The photo really looks like a painting. I love it. Check it out:



It took me and my friend a few hours to shoot it and it took me a few hours to edit it to perfection in photoshop. I'm extra-ultra-proud of my work. Yay for photo. ^_^

A lot of people have tried framing my school notes in the past. I do very clear sketches, so people like them ^^ My more serious work as more random sketching though. Bug attack there.

Thank you! I'm proud everybody loves the photo (I smell a good grade!!!!)

1)I love your attitude and your little quircks like adding "word of the day". Awesome. and Link finds you cool too XD

Aww, thank you! Yeah, I figure a little factoid is a nice little addition. It's nice that people actually read them.

And I'm glad Link thinks I'm cool too!! ^___^

2)Rewrite from FMA. Not sure why.

Awesome!! I like that song!!

3)So much effort in the entry titles...love it.

And effort it is too. Sometimes I really have to wrack my brain to come up with them. Some I crib from random quotes. Others I can come up with pretty easily...

4) "Hello, I like your drawings!"

He heeee!!

5) Akito. And Nico from runaways too.

Yay for kick ass Japanese chicks!

6) Do you feel like singing?

In my head I do. I don't do it out loud, because of the way my voice is due to a dog attack from when I was younger.

7)"hide the Rum." And Spuffy.

*snort* Such fun!


And my username is a nod to Buffy as well. It's from a Fifth Season episode when Glory is talking to Dawn after she finds out she's The Key. It kinda stuck with me.
