Secondlina's Panels

Because it makes me happy!

I like all ships, so sue me.

This is repetitive of the last twenty posts, BUT... I really need to get my head in the game. Lately, I seem frustrated and impatient, and people like dqbunny waste way too much of their time calming me down. I made a list of my ongoing projects. It makes me feel busy, but reassured since I can see the evolution. I really need to figure out why i'm so angry all the time lately so I can stop. I have issues and I'm always pissed off when I see people. That's no fun. I know there's a fun loving Isa somewhere in here. I just need to put her in the forefront and leave depressed Isa in the back. It's only been 2 weeks since I left the weird job, so i'm probably still EEEEEH because of that. But I really hate this. I hate being so angry all the time. :( A couple of people told me I should go see a professional to deal with my frustration and depressions, and maybe I should.

Well, enough of whining. I do too much of that too.

Well, tomorrow, there's Namesake sketching. That always puts me in a right mood.

Also, yay confortable work shoes! I bought some great shoes for the whole standing-all-day deal my new job is all about. So long, back pains. You will not be missed.

Watched The Gobelet of Fire with the boyfriend. Mc Gornagall is my favorite professor. EVER. Way to be amazing, Minerva.

Also, did you guys know that there's this French comic for pre-teens that is basically a steampunk version of "the little princess"? I'm not kidding. Sarah Crewe's dad is the head of a robot/android making company with a factory in India. The story is pretty much the same as the original novel (that I loved as a kid) except with cool background events. It's a really interesting adaptation and it's quite popular i'm told. I'm thinking of taking photos of the books I read for work (yep, i'm required to read what we sell to help customers. How cool is that?) to kinda share this experience. In this one, the story is pretty good (the novel is excellent after all, for pre-teens). The steampunk setting kinda helps a couple of the more... dated elements to seem a bit fresher and less offensive. The art is really, really influenced by manga and kinda weird-looking, but it gets better as the books come out, so at least it's evolving nicely. Check it :

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
