Maaaaaaan I can't believe how close to the end of the year it is. x_x I feel like I have a ton on my plate right now, but I think after this essay's done, I'll be fine. I have this friday and monday off from classes, so it's like an entire week-long break for me. :3

Being assigned the 'final' for the second-last week makes me suspicious, though, considering that the instructor has been tacking on extra work to assignments to make up for the classes we lost. ¬¬ I'm thinking for the last week we'll have to either compile our work to present or revisit something.

Steal'd from Rhys >w> Basically a repeat of something from a while ago.

"The first five people to comment in this post get to request a sketch of a character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their drawing ability level. If you absolutely can't draw, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drabbles or icons or something instead."

Request, away! I shall be doing simple sketches

Here's a draft of my "creative text" for class. It's based on one of the 15-minute writings we id in class a while ago, with the prompt of "Everyone will die in 5 minutes." Yay.


( Apocalypse? Now not. )

The point?



THERE IS NO POINT. 8D kekekekekekekekekekekekkeke....

#3 of my torture meme. Man it's taking forever to do. @_@ Anyways, Muscle!Raegar amuses me 'cause he's a short guy. xD Sense of scale is kind thrown here 'cause he's just with Reita... who is shorter... but it'd be lol with some of the other people thrown in. xD

I always find it weird when I see someone doing what I think are grossly overpriced commissions, but... still having 10 slots filled? 0_o Like, I think $15 for my portraits is pretty decent, but I saw someone just offering simple lineart with flat colours for the same price. And with shading ( think it was pretty close to cell-style) was like $30. And then people doing simple icons for like $20. wat.

Also, I'm starting to think that my coaster celebration painting so isn't worth $25. $20, yeah, but the extra $5 makes me think that the endeavour is kinda scammy. I mean, like, consider that ALL submissions to this CMHA project are sold for $25. Even little kids' weird crayon drawings. Though I'm sure there will be some awesome ones that are full worth the $25, or even more, I doubt the majority will be. A lot of parents just go in and buy their kids' works. It's like... making them pay to get their stuff back. Doesn't sit well with me. :<

Doesn't help that I'm starting to become attached to this little piece, too. I don't want it being chucked away down the road. ;_;

COUGH COUGH COUGH SNEEZE COUGH SNEEZE COUGH COUGH BLLAAARRGH SNEEZE I CAN'T SEE COUGH ETC

No work at school leads to lots of productivity xD

So!

Long while ago, I was shown the trailer for the movie, Paprika:

And I really liked it, and wanted to see the movie...
And it should be obvious by this journal that I finally did get around to seeing it. xD

It wasn't totally epic, but I loved the way it presented dreams - random, fast-paced, repetitious - and how it got across certain feelings, like falling (though I've never fallen in a dream). One element I could really relate to in Konakawa's dream was when he tries to run down the hall, but the hallway bunches up on him and he can't run. I get that a lot in my dreams except that my legs bunch up, not the floor. I loved the aspect of the parade: a never ending column of insanity heading to a place of no return.

Overall it was a bright and fun, with some really enjoyable scenes where you couldn't help but feel the characters' pride, but also not without some creepy moments, mostly near the end. Despite the repetition associated with the dreams' layouts, they never really got boring as they became closer and closer to being 'solved,' and as they mutated.


I got the video off of Veoh, but I might see about buying it, eheh.

Messy character sketches

( long image is loooooooooong )

lol bad planning:

Monday Evening: Oh, I'll be stuck at school for off block on second period tomorrow, I can do my art trades then!
Tuesday Morning: Oh... off block is last... I guess I can stay & draw then, instead of going home
Tuesday Lunch: Forgot my lunnnch *hunger*
Tuesday Last Period: Alright, evening though I'm starving and wanna get home to have spare time before work, I'm going to work on my trades!
Moment later: Fuck... I don't have my pencils or eraser.

And so I ended up going home without anything done XDDD The only thing that went mildly right was that I had my markers, which I intended to use for the trades but used for my art exam instead. xD Ah well, I might be able to get something or the other done laaaaaaate tonight, after work.

"Hey, bro, you'll never guess what song I have stuck in my head this morning!"
"Caramell Dansen?"
"Nope."
"Rickroll?"
"Nuh-uh"
"Chocolate Rain?"
"Noooope." :>
"Okay, then, what?"
"In the white room, with black curtains... la la la la, la la la blah That."

NON MEME SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD, YEAH! *dance*

School art show~ ( pictures! )

I CAN HAS COLOUR COORDINATION?

( kinda big image )

Copious crimson
effusion emanates from
the deep, weeping well

Devices used: Alliteration, assonance, personification (olololo)


Birds chirp chirp above
Sky shines gloriously blue
for my happiness

Devices used: Echo, onomatopoeia, pathetic fallacy



i r gudd poet. B) Anyways, for the assignment these were supposed to have 3 poetic devices each, all unique. I don't care how well they're pulled off; they're haiku, dammit. XD

Okay, that was a piss poor choice.
I need a better way to waste my time.

Second blood donation thing went pretty well; bit more painful than last time but I managed to get out the unit of blood in less time. xD I'm just chillin' right now 'cause I can feel a nasty headache coming on like last time. If it gets worse I might just go and take a nap, but I'm hoping I won't need to.

I got my mom to come along and give blood too. 83
