Secondlina's Panels

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. ^_^

As a final note: I'm posting up a meme several of you had you journals because I think some people will hurt me if I don't  XD
