RAAAAR>

okay...I'm not doing too bad though. My goal was to finish these for sunday night. I have EIGHT pages left. Hear  that? The sound of imminent victory. EIGHT. FRIKKING. PAGES. LEFT. And Rose will be all drawn out.

After that I still need to scan and clean them up, but i'm hoping I can do that monday-tuesday night, thus getting stuff ready for my editor to go thru them on wednesday.

By the by, what do you guys think of these small texts for my bio/description of Rose. please let me know. I can't write worth a damn.

(the texts are short because they will be bilingual)

BIO: Isabelle Melancon is a young french-canadian artist who loves strange things, fairy tales and comics passionately. She is an avid reader of american comics, Europeen comics and manga and likes to mix those styles together in her own drawings. She strongly believes there is more then one way to tell a story and feel that comics and illustrations are the ideal way for her to do so.

DESCRIPTION: Inspired by the famous play of Romeo and Juliet, Rose is a comic that illustrates through a strange metaphore the depression and acceptance of a young girl suffering from a suddent heartbreak.

Yeah, these kinda suck. Help me, oh english people...

Isa

And hey, a little fairy tale painting for you guys, because you rock (it's a study from one of my larger paintings)

With English help, do you mean grammar or wording? Because the wording looked fine to me, but then again, I only skimmed.


AND *drum roll* THE BANNER IS DONE! IT CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h118/the_flowergirl/resizetaketwo.jpg

wow, it looks amazing! Could I humbly request the high resolution file in my email? That would make my day!

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

I don't know if the first version she sent me was the high res one or not.

This one is a little bigger, this might be it. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h118/the_flowergirl/flowercopy-1.jpg

Yeah, I saved both of them.

Ooooh, I like.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's good! Thanks!

[filia-umbrae.livejournal.com]

Looks great! You will want to add in one more comma, though. Just insert one right after "fairy tales", and you should be good to go.

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

Heee. Actually, I wrote it in Associated Press style, which lacks the last comma in a series -- unlike traditional writing. *fixes* Journalism background strikes again!

"comics and illustrations is her ideal method" kinda makes me squirm because of the "is". How about "comics and illustrations are her ideal methods of storytelling." or "comics and illustrations provide her with an ideal method of storytelling."

I think this cleans it up nicely!

I'm still a little new to your journal (heee, I love your art and tfg insisted I stalk you), but that picture is just lovely~

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it! Pleased to meet you! :)

I'm too tired to think up something amazing at the moment (early day of work for me today), but you ought to work in 'eclectic' in there somewhere. It literally means "deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources", so using that would cut down the mini bio quite a lot.

Maybe after I get home from work I can think up something.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I though of using eclectic but it doesn't have a french equivalent...I kinda wanted the texts to match. I like the sentence you used to explain it though! I might use that!
