Okay, per wyna_hiros's suggestions, I'm now cross-posting art I do to both DeviantART and LJ. Although this is a really weird one to start out on...




Another drawing spurred from one of my classes; this one from one of the Edgar Allan Poe stories we read. It's got all your classic Poe elements: beautiful woman dying young, madness, live burial, grave robbery, twisted obsessions, etc. I love Poe...he's like the god of all wannabe egomaniacal starving artists. XD

I actually kinda took two moments from the story and squished 'em together (the box with the extracted teeth isn't really supposed to be there) but I liked it better that way, oh well.

This was way random and different for me 'cause I used no pencils...started directly with inks. It was an interesting experiment.


Otherwise, school's been knocking me dead with all kinds of craziness. I guess I didn't expect homework to take up so much of my time, even though comparatively speaking, I don't have that much. Hrmm. It's still difficult to get much done at work with how many calls are coming through.

Today in particular was interesting. We watched "Forbidden Planet" in SF/F literature class because it was somehow vaguely based off of Shakespeare's The Tempest. Holy cow, that movie was hilarious. It was your classic baaad sci-fi movie from the 50's...flying saucers, giant computers, a robot that was basically a guy in a rubber robot suit, giant invisible lava monsters, and REALLY REALLY CHEESY sound effects. I couldn't help but MST the entire movie under my breath the whole way through. (And I think an actual official MST3K episode might exist for it?...) That class is so dang awesome. While it's a lot of reading, there's practically no analytical writing, so it's like getting to read fun fluff books for school. Super-fun. ^^

Also, I got rear-ended on the way home today. That scared the living crap out of me, although it could've been a LOT worse. Basically, the guy in front of me put on his brake lights, so I started to put on mine...only to realize he wasn't slowing gradually, he was actually *stopped.* So I put on the brakes pretty hard. The guy behind me pretty much did the same thing, except a few seconds too late, and he slammed into me. I don't know if I scooted up to the person in front of me, but if I did, he certainly didn't notice. We stopped and did the insurance number exchange. At worst, it seems we exchanged paint and dents. There's a bunch of white paint along my bumper, along with a fair number of dinks. The paint will come off easily, but the dinks might be harder. His car got a little silver paint too, plus I think his license plate got dented in. Neither of our cars were beauty queens already so it wasn't a massive loss, just yucky. I'll have to ask my dad what he wants to do about it since it's technically his car. At least if it does come down to a matter of insurance, I wasn't the one that did the rear-ending. It just shook me up...bleh! Must take more care on the road.

Also, my site is still down completely. Arrrrgh, I hate dealing with that stuff. DX Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow. Stupid server, stupid registrar...

On a better note, gaelic_bohemian took us out to eat tonight at Yamatos, and it was SOOO damn good. Saved some of it for my lunch tomorrow, wee! And I love the flaming onion volcanoes! ^^

Alright, work and school again tomorrow, so I'm off to bed...

Drawing: I finished the animation I was working on weeee! XD You can see it here: It's a Marahute Summon! I've also been doing different sketches for ghettopeach's charity sketchbook; one of which is that Berenice picture. Finally heard back from Tim, YAY, so I've got to get to work making corrections on the comic thingy. It's intimidating, but I can do it! XD *dramatic determined pose*

Writing: Mostly stuff for my playwriting class. I actually wrote out a ten-minute play that didn't turn out half bad, thanks to Kel's good idea. ;)
