For a wide variety of reasons, I'm moving to a new DA account. I've been considering it for a while, and decided it's for the best. I feel like I'm starting to be a semi-decent artist, and I want to start with a clean slate.

I'll be keeping this account up for a while, but all new stuff will be posted over at ~LadyNoodles.

Thanks for all your comments, pageviews, and support over the years.

So I'm alive after all. Shocking, I know.

The computer problems I mentioned wound up becoming a complete computer meltdown, and while we have another one now, being hideously busy and not having a scanner hooked up managed to keep me away even longer. (studying for the ACT eats up your time like a sonofabitch)

But, just got the scanner hooked back up, and I've been practicing a lot while away, so expect to see stuff up in the near future. Still hella busy, but meh.
It's good to be back.

Also, the NIN album, Ghosts?
Fab drawing music.

I'm still alive, I swear. D: A hideous combination of being busy, in an art slump, and having computer woes conspires to keep me away. On the upside, I may be able to sell prints or do commissions soon.
_{Not that anyone would buy either, but still.}

Buuuut I came across this gallery and just HAD to feature him:



Absolutely gorgeous, surreal, disturbing, and beautiful gallery. And he uses crayons for some of these?! What the hell? I didn't know that was possible...

Some of my favorites...

Go! Ogle! Now!

Birthdays are odd. It seems like everyone else attaches far more significance to them than they really have. Or at least feel like they have; I've yet to have a birthday where I suddenly feel older and/or wiser.

What a rip-off....

So, yes, happy birthday to me. Fwheee.

Sorry that there hasn't been much in the way of new artstuffery. I've been hella sick for over a week, so that's kind of put a damper on any drawing. Sorry. D:

Though, I -did- get to re-watch a movie I saw a while ago and has now made it onto my favorites list, called Wristcutters: A Love Story. Trailer [link] . Great movie, really funny.

Also, all this snow needs to melt. Srsly, it's forty degrees out, why is it not melting?!

Aaaand that's about all I got.

I is back!

Vacation was great. Large amounts of good food and good people. A belated good Festivus, merry Christmas, and happy New Years to everyone!

Saw the Golden Compass and I Am Legend. Loved them both, though both had endings that pissed me off. The Golden Compass less so, since that at least had a good reason for cutting off the ending of the book, but I Am Legend's ending....grraaaarghhhh! Why?! WHY!?

Both had great CGI, though, and I felt like The Golden Compass did the book justice, even if they did chop up the plot in some odd ways. I Am Legend was a good movie, but not really comparable to the book because it was -so- different. If you liked the movie, I'd really recommend reading the book.

Also got to try out Rock Band, which is awesome once you get the hang of it. And that does take some doing; it's not nearly as simple as Guitar Hero. The drums are much harder then they look, and I stuck mostly to the guitar. (which the owner, my step-nephew had already managed to fuck up despite only owning the game for three days)
Though I did wind up singing "Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld". Turns out that even if the song is mostly just singing "TIMMMAY" over and over, it's still difficult...

Got some new pens, Copic Fineliners. I'd had a bad experience with the similar Sakura pens completely sucking, so I was wary, but holy crap these are awesome. Love, love, love. And they're waterproof, so I finally have something decent to ink watercolor/marker pictures with. I think I'm in love...

All in all, it was a great time. Even if I did come home with a bad cold from my sister and her husband... one which I'd managed to avoid getting up until the day before I left. Oh well.
I miss Chicago already, though
