things look a little... strange.

Updated:

+ Finished my story! Yay! Just waiting on beta. Hopefully [personal profile] imaginarybeasts will like it.

+ You'll notice that the layout has changed. I got too lazy to make my own and discovered a nice one where I could change the header/text so I decided to go for it. Credits in the profile. Also, I condensed the profile a lot. Because it was getting silly.

+ Mailed off that letter that's been sitting in my filing cabinet at work for like, a week. Apparently the outgoing mail is lock around here. Huh.

+ Joined [profile] cockeyed_art because I figure my bad drawing will make people feel better. XD Will probably do the Halloween costumes thing since it's free draw week and all.

+ Ha, so going "OMG [profile] ff_fanlisting!" all over the place roped us two three new member people.

To Do:

+ Finish math!

+ Document the stuff buzzing in my head, work-wise. Boss said to take it easy for a while, and if they need help with some of the proposals, he'll probably frantically IM me.

+ Stuff for [profile] ff_fanlisting. Maybe. I like the slow and lazy pace to modding.

+ Eat.

Actually, three! Because one is in a comment to the Update entry. It will be posted into the comm later when they are not at work.

So I started doodling and it appears I'm drawing Yuna like a dominatrix. Damaged psyche y/n?

Alright, so I'm embarrassed to do this at work, as it's a small office and the secretary already thinks I'm a weirdo. But I know the university I am attending has a scanner. It's just a cartoon, really, but it's cute in a perverse kind of way?

I understand. Picture me sneaking down the hallway towards our scanner/copier with really bad sketches of Edge from FFIV on the back of a paper on polymer surface properties.

Nevermind that last comment, I figured something else out. I am strange. XD

If you're curious, you can do curves in Photoshop either with circles, or with the Pen Tool. A lot of people think the pen tool is evil - me included - but it's a meticulous sort of thing that you might actually be good at, with your mindset.

Although if you've got something else, that's cool too XD

Oh, and the latest entry in [livejournal.com profile] ff_fanlisting is my Italian fangirl... what do you think of a "fan:translator" tag? Might be another good resource to have!

[identity profile] venefica-aura.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That is full of win, yes. Will totally make that tag whenever I get around to actually, yanno, putting people in the del.icio.us.

And I'm really kind of having fun with photoshop here. I used a curve as a reference, but ya. More playing with shading and minimalism, really.

It's an Edea picture, if you were curious.

It’s a very nifty header.

Congratulations on completing your short story. If you think you need it, good luck getting into the journal.

Have fun with your art now as well.

Cartoons. I draw very bad cartoons.

Also, I keep meaning to ask, who drew the Iffy in your icon and where might I worship them?

My glorious little sister drew her for me. Though, I may have somewhat pestered her into it. She’s currently without internet contact information as she fears the computer along with all of her friends. I’ll tell her you like it or she could read your comment which would probably be better.

If you want I can post the non-icon sized picture, Iffy is missing her feet and sticking her tongue out.

[identity profile] venefica-aura.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! I'd love to see the whole thing. And feet are hard to draw, so.

Okay, I've posted it over at GJ and lack the skill to put a convenient link.

Congrats on finishing the story........
