Fallout?  
New Lunargyros page today, plus news! :O We're almost at the end of chapter one, which means I need to draw a new chapter cover...

So...yeah. Wow. About a day later, and that KH Flash ended up as first on dA's popular page, got 6,000 favorites, 1,300 comments, 50,000 views, and 160 people friended me. HOLY HELL.

And now, THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS ENDEAVOR:

- Never underestimate the power of fans in large groups ludicrously large groups
- 4/4 rhyming music + comedy = instant catchiness
- A lot of people never read the description
- People will flame something solely because it is popular Yes, I know this should be completely obvious
- If you want to time animation to music properly in Flash, set the music controls to streaming, not event.
- ...Apparently Eragon sucked?

Otherwise, today is the last day of my temp job. Weee! At least the people here were quite nice. Although now it's back to looking for a new job again. *sigh* I'll worry about that when I get back from Italy. I also really need to redraw some of those Lunargyros pages for the purposes of 1) improving stuff I suck at leikowah, and 2) impressing peoples who might let me draw stuff for monies. *puts on wibbly eyes*

And [livejournal.com profile] caedhe bought me this giant book full of Disney stories and illustrations! ♥ *sends her much love!* I love it, it makes me feel like I'm eight years old all over again.

Also, the Death Note anime is made of complete awesome. I will so be buying that when it comes out on DVD, if someone else in the household doesn't beat me to it.

Drawing: Oy...I don't even know anymore. There's so much I have to work on, but basically all I can do now is thumbnails at work. I need to make revamping those pages my priority, though.

Writing: Finished that scene and posted!

I've heard nothing but terrible things about the movie. The book was kinda meh. Just something about the writing that made it obvious that it was written by someone who really wasn't very experienced. Also huge Star Wars influence on the plot.

Also is that the golden eagle from The Rescuers Down Under in your icon?

Yeah, I just read the F_W post on that Eragon wank, and I was kinda surprised at how many people just outright loathed it. o_O Never read the book; a roomie has it, but it was just one of those things that was so low on my (really pathetic) reading list that I was never gonna get around to it. :/

And yes, it's Marahute! I love that movie to pieces. ♥

No, actually when I was skimming dA pages of people who faved it (before just giving up and mass-deleting everything) I kept seeing a bunch of journal entries on how the Eragon movie sucked. XD

What the HELL does Eragon have to do with a KH flash? XD

But yeah. Popularity is the honey that draws the stinking-rotten flies of dA.

It was in peoples' journals when I was skimming dA pages. XD It just made me go "...Why does this keep popping up?"

And yeah, it just kinda amused me that there were several people going THIS SUCKS BECAUSE IT'S SQUARE in comments. Like I really have control over whether people fav and comment on my fanart or my original stuff. :P

I faved the flash you did!! LOL. I've been slowly memorizing it to sing to my big bro over and over and over becuase I find it hysterical and he's a huge KH fan too but I can imagine after awhile it'd annoy him and thats my general purpose of being a little sister.

Also I wanted to see Eragon but I've not heard any reviews except the one you've just posted *shrug*.

I'm terribly sorry to disturb you, but I've been looking for a spoof of "Paradise Lost" and I'm fairly sure that it was on your blog, categorized as a mini puppet show or something...it was just so long ago, when everything looked totally different that I'm not sure if this is even the right place. If it was written by you, could you possibly point me in the right direction? It was so funny.

Actually, yes! I wrote that back when I was using Blogger instead of LJ, who-knows-how-long ago. o_O I went back through entries until I found it, so here it is!

Never seen Eragon or read the book either - but it's kind of sad that you put your work up and then suddenly, a significant number of the comments have nothing to do with your work. :(

Ehh, it happens, I guess. :P Although the comments weren't about Eragon; that was just what I noticed in other peoples' journals that day. ;)
