Sooo, I just randomly decided to google one of my made up character's names, just to see what came up, you know? His name is Yiron; I made it up, based loosely off of Orion, and later based a good bit of his culture off of that of Israel/Hebrew culture . . . . He also is a wine connoisseur.

And then I found this:
Galil Mountain Yiron

"A blend this year of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Syrah. Young and vibrant but already showing complexity, depth and elegance. Dark royal purple, with firm but nicely integrating tannins, judicious wood and layers of spicy currant, anise, tar and cedary oak aromas and flavors blending nicely on the long finish. Elegant and deep. Drink now-2010."

.... wow..... God, you're cool XD

Because ~Wazaga featured me here, I thought I'd return the favor, and it's fun to do anyway! And because I like telling why I chose a particular picture, I shall do that too... So, without further ado *drumroll*:

Midnight-Fire: I really like this one. It's actiony, with lasers and guns. That had to have been a tough angle to draw, yet she pulls it off well.

The Lonely Tree: This one's simple, and not in color, but I love the style, how she drew the tree, the branches, the grassy hill, just the over all composition. It's really relaxing.

Taking Flight: Wings + Actiony Pose + Cool Costume + Lean Men = win, in my book at least.

Unnamed Race Concept: This is a really cool creature design, sort of like a hybrid of a cat, snake, raptor, and jackal. Very fascinating.


Well! That was fun. I'm back in school now so productivity = O_o We'll see how it goes. Though I still have 1 commission left to finish- I am working on it, I promise!

I uploaded fanart . . . . of something popular. . . . Quick! Check! Did hell freeze over??

>_>

Okay, enough mocking myself. So yes, I uploaded fanart . . . for Kingdom Hearts 2 no less . . . .

I'm a bit of a Final Fantasy fan, have been for awhile now. The makers of FF have a knack for making good stories and good characters. While I've been playing the KH games mostly for the Disney-esque nostalgia and the gameplay (dozen+ arial combos FTW), I found the Organization characters a bit of a welcome surprise from the relative simplicity of the Disney charas and Sora + co. They're a lot more complicated (at least to me), smart, conniving, slick, and you can't ever be quite sure who's side they're on (as they play both sides quite frequently while really being on their own side) . . . .And somehow, I never can quite consider them villains.

Sooo, when I decide I like a character, I like to find cool pictures of them to favorite. Unfortunately, in my search for Demyx fanart . . . I didn't really find anything that wasn't sketchy, comic, odd style, slash, or any combination of the four. O_o Rather irritating really,Then at some point it occurred to me that I could just draw what I wanted, since no one else seemed to have already. So I did. [link]

This picture might just hold the record for fastest serious picture ever drawn by me. In fact, I think it does. I started it on Thurs . . . finished it on Mon. Which is . . . not normal for me.

Soooo, I made this decision this year, to go to school this summer, instead of the next (so I can graduate college in May '10 WHOOOP!) Soooo, I'm taking Japanese 1 and 2. Don't get me wrong, it's great, and I love getting to learn this amazingly awesome, so wonderfully different from English language </linguistic nerd rant> but the end result is this: Between class and work and studying every day... I have precious little time to do . . . anything.... like breathe. Yeah.

I did finally finish Commission #3 for ~dragonsong12, which means, 1 more to go! Then maybe I'll finish some of the other random stuff lying around my computer. . . . It always takes me so long, even when I don't have summer school >_>

Which is beginning to be normal, and actually preferred.

In art news, I recently started on a set of comissions for ~dragonsong12. It's been a lot of fun so far, and I'm actually able to get things done in a resonable amount of time. Strangely enough, when I first got on DA, I thought I'd never be doing anything like commissions . . . it's funny how wrong we can be sometimes.

In life news, I'm still in school, but getting a major case of senioritis (which really sucks, since I still have a year left) but I'm determined to get through. I actually like my major, and having a degree will be great, I just gotta stick it out. D:
I also just got a job working with linguistics and AI, which will hopefully be freakin' awesome. The side effect will be it makes me even busier, but I'm looking forward to it (and it pays well).

I shall have something done soonish! (having comissions to do helps speed me up)
