So I have a huge lust for vectors. They’re so happy and cherry-bounce-bounce. They always remind me of happy techno music, like Dune. *shrug* But I never really made much of my own… until NOW! *doom doom dooooom*
I started playing with this image here and vectorizing it. I thought her outfit looked like something Zyra would wear. It a very Wealand-officer look (country from my novel) and the pose was cute and sexy and figured her body was about right for her. The hairstyle is pretty close, too. Except she always wears it bound up whilst working and she’s a super-light blond. Yeah, we had her as black haired for awhile, but the original idea of super-light blond wouldn’t leave us alone. So blah on her :-p
Whitepaw’s and I have been talking again about making that webcomic we’ve been wanting to do (there’s 2, actually). So I made a vector version of the MC. But yeah… I don’t know how to write a webcomic. I’ve always wanted to do a webcomic, as an excuse to get better at my art… but the writing part has held me back all these years. I’ve got the ideas but how the hell do you put that into graphical form??
So anyway! This is only technically 3 different wallpapers, in 2 color sets. If you want a different size or color combo, just lemme know! This flower came from one of my own photographs ^-^
I haven’t been doing much of anything but playing my Pokemon Pearl lately and kinda staring at stuff. I have accomplished a little bit of writing and I got out of my writing rut. So that’s good. I haven’t felt like doing anything for a long while now, so I’ve been puttering away. Sometimes you really need to just NOT do anything, take a break, doesn’t matter how much you love doing what you normally do.
EXPERIMENT TIME!
I’m trying something different with my pics. Let me know how you like this idea.

Oh, and the nice guy at the art store mentioned MARBLE POWDER and how it gives great texture. It was dirt cheap so we got some of that too.
*ETA* Tuesday
You know, I was just reminded about the whole texture thing whilst poking through e-mails from one of my Yahoo! groups. I realize its quite possible the nice man at the art store assumed that I was some sort of landscape artist or something :-p I got that gel medium and he started going on about texture and then the marble powder and this one artist guy who uses it to get a stone effect going on and-
Dude… there’s more than one use for that product! :-p
First off, I started this blanket in December and just last night finished it. It was a quick project, but I had to take knitting breaks and you know, other stuff like Life gets in the way. Its going to be for sale, yay!
Annnd, I started work in my 27th birthday book the other day. It seems that its turning into a quotes book, which is perfect because I LOVE quotes and there are many I really really like.
Spread 1:
I’m not happy with the left side. The dancing lady isn’t doing it for me and my Sharpie died whilst I was writing the quote. But hey, that’s okay. Can anybody tell me what kind of marker will write on ANYTHING?? I used a White Out pen on the other side.
Spread 2:
Still needs work, of course. But I like it so far :) I need a quote for this page still.
Simplistic? Yes. Will I add to it? I’m sure I will. Am I worried about it? Nope. This is spread 6. This doesn’t mean that I’ve done six… I just skipped ahead in the book. BECAUSE I CAN! BWA HA HAAA!
And, here’s my Woe 8×10 canvas I started awhile ago:
Woe is a little girl I came up with AGES AGO whilst practicing with my Wacom. Then after awhile I thought it would be really cool to do a series social commentary comic using her, but I haven’t done that due to just shooting myself down too much about it. So right now she’s a paper doll sort of thing and she’s just laying there in pieces and the letters need painting and affixing, but I’m not sure what else to do with it.
