putting in a word or two

Okay, so I actually do have some art to show you, but wouldn't you know it, my internet's down on my laptop again. YET A-FREAKING-GAIN. Es RIDICULO. Muy ridiculo. Uff. Anyway, I can't get to the art from here (dad's computer), but I'm just popping to tell you that I started public school (!!) two weeks ago, and I haven't even had time to check my email since. IB really does eat your life. I have NEVER EVER that busy before. Evah. Thank heavens, my mom took me out of the program and now I'll just be taking four classes - art, Spanish 5, History of the Americas and choir. Not so bad. I can do math, science and English at HOME. And now I'll have time to practice the piano and get myself ready for Yamaha... meep... nervous. But anyway, I'm only going to be on during the weekends now, so don't freak out when you don't see me during the week anymore.

I have a brilliant idea for another faerie door, but that probably won't happen until Thanksgiving Break or somewhere around there, because I'm trying to finish my other Nerf gun mod in time for the bro's birthday, and that'll be most of my free time right there. Plus I'm still working on Erimon Hill, and brainstorming like fury on the new steampunk thingy. Also, I want to redo my room. It's not that I don't like the cool color palate anymore; it's that I discovered steampunk. Which, you know, changes everything. So my mom and I found me a new floor lamp, to replace my ugly dented white one, and a new bedside lamp, to replace the one she confiscated for the office, and a new awesome clock, to replace the boring ugly atomic one. All the metallic silver is slowly leaching out of my room, lol. Everything's gonna be bronze and copper and gold now. It's gonna be awesome.

If I can get the pics on my flash drive, I'll try to post my more recent art before school starts back up on Monday. And I'll also try to visit you OYAN people Monday when class gets out. If I can get someone to drive me over thare. We shall see.

I used the dull edge, you barking git.
Normal is overrated!

Erimon Hill things

I'm back from the Dells, people, and lemme tell you: the food is atrocious up there. Nice river though.

The many faces of Andra. Some of them not so flattering. Lol. Check out the scar, dudes. Scars rock. This stinking picture refused to cooperate. I've been drawing it for months now. Sorry about the blood and the stabbing, and the disproportions, but I like their hair, okay? So leave me alone. I KNOW their heads are enormous! Oh, and those stripy things on Fable's back are supposed to be scars. This was before I knew how to draw scars. Oh, and also, there was supposed to be a wall there behind Andra, for her to fall into, but it was a curved wall, and it eluded me. So no.

That stupid bracer-thing on Fable's arm gave me no end of trouble, but I like both of their expressions and Fable's sword/sheath. There, I'm done. I never wanna see this thing again.

Wrote five or six pages on the Showdown last night. I think I'm finally unstuck! Woot!... except that school starts tomorrow and is just waiting to eat my free time... blast it all...

Oh good, you're back. Is your brain still attached? Excellent. Lady Arin, you REALLY should get yourself a DeviantART account. Just saying.

See you next weekend.

Self Portrait the First (and some other junk)

As you can imagine, this took forever. I LOVE MORWYN'S HAAAAAIR.
Me: Morning, Peter. What's up?

Peter: Eh, the usual. Morwyn?

Morwyn: I'm fine, thanks for asking. How go things below?

Kaden: Faaaaantastic. Thaelen continues to be oblivious.

Thaelen: *oblivious angsting and flashbacking*

Broga: Ooh, shiny Fae boy. Shineeee.

Nath: Why am I holding this? Uh, Kip?

Lizby: Quit 'oldin' it then an' 'elp me 'old th' piano! Th' blarsted thing'll break me back!

Irk: That's cuz I'm sitting on it, duh...

It is actually done. I left my charries black and white on purpose. (And Peter, obviously, even though he isn't mine.) The assignment was to draw what you're like when nobody's watching, or in other words, yourself by yourself. Well. I'm never by myself, on account of all the silly people in my head. By the way, this BARELY fit on the scanner glass.

And this is Lady Rivenwick, one of Nocturn's henchwomen from the crazy new story idea. She can haz osm gluvzes.

And I was bored during Driver's Ex and Melian and Thingol ended up glaring at each other over a two-page spread in my notebook. Except, Melian had a really weird nose, so you just get Thingol. Happy birthday, it's for you. I finished the Silmarillion, by the way, and it is rather depressing. Everybody dies. Except Elrond and Galadriel and Celeborn. No, srsly. You have to feel really bad for the sons of Feanor.

Mom and Spud and I saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice down at the Legends the other day. I liked it mostly, but the ending bothered me a bit. It just felt too easy, you know? Like the good guys didn't have to work hard enough, or they didn't recieve enough mortal injuries or go through enough emotional trauma. I sat there and reworked the ending in my head during the car ride home, lol... but I have to say, Nicholas Cage looks pretty awesome with stringy hair and a scruffy beard. He was born to play a thousand-year-old sorcerer. In my opinion.

I'll try to do the FATP post before I leave for Wisconsin on the 8th, buuuut... no promises. Thanks for the poking, guys.
