Description Booyah! Finished on time! (I know it's probably not Halloween anymore for half of you, but dammit it still is here XD).

Happy Halloween everybody! I wanted to draw Constantine as well, but I only had time to get one done. (I'll draw him later. XD) For the Halloween Party! EΓ€rwen suggested that AnairΓ« dress as a gypsy (perhaps because of her hair?), so she went with Esmeralda from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. (I secretly really like that movie, despite the terrible message. XD) Speaking of her hair...I love drawing it. Also got 2 copics for skintone, and a dark grey one for black hair. *wants more SO bad* Also had fun with my metallic gold pen. XD

Ugh...why is anatomy being such a pain in my life lately? >_M Also...coloring while having a massive allergy attack and sneezing every three seconds is a pain in the ass. T_T

Happy Halloween, hope everybody had fun!

You look lovely! I love all of the details, and, as always, the coloring is fantastic. The costume suits you!

Auntie Anaire, you look splendid! Now if uncle Fingolfin could dress as Phoebus...
I also love this movie, it's my second favourite Disney movie. (the first one being Lion King)
Love the coloring!

Thank you! Ooh, he could...though I think I like his armor better.

It's probably my second favorite too, but my favorite is Mulan.

Thanks!

Thank you dear! I'm so glad I took your suggestion! (OOC: Thank you so much! Haha, yep. With the family tree ones, I've been doing them in pencil and then coloring lightly in photoshop, but pretty much everything else I do is all by hand.)

Haha I suppose I did, but I'm glad it worked. XD

OOC: I'm surprised that you're so surprised...I didn't think any of it looked digital...

ninquetari In reply to avi17 [2011-11-17 17:08:58 +0000 UTC]

OOC: It doesn't but the designs are so neat, the background so clean, that I find it a bit hard to believe it's not digital. Or simply I'm too used to seeing digitalized arts.

avi17 In reply to ninquetari [2011-12-11 22:38:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I mean, designs are just something I'm good at. As for the backgrounds, when I scan stuff in, I do use GIMP to clean them up, because traditional stuff always looks like a mess when you scan it. I don't try to make it better (aside from correcting the very occasional mistake), just to make it look like it actually looks in real life. XD But there's that too- everyone is so used to seeing digital art that they're less impressed with traditional, because they expect it to be just as clean and perfect, even though traditional artists don't have back buttons or erasers that always work or that sort of thing. XD

True, true. You're good at it, no doubt, and cleaning isn't a sin.
Technology enables so many great things, but sometimes we forget what we an do without it, or how to appreciate things done without it.

MangaMel [2011-11-01 06:43:22 +0000 UTC]

Beautifully done~ Made me giggle too.

I loved the movie even though I didn't thought of no such message. XDDD I just thought that he was heroic enough to let Esmeralda and...What's his name again? go off and be happy together. *LOL Phantom of the Opera. Hint hint. *

Ah. Allergies...I think I'm allergic to pollen...I'm not sure. But it was very brief when I was passing by a patch of flowers along a sidewalk during a holiday in Australia. And also, if I eat too much of this certain kind of squid (it's brown-ish...Not the usual white one. XD), I get itchy and a light rash. 8DDD;;;

Thank you! Haha, it did? Why? XD

Haha I suppose...but still lame. XD

I'm allergic to pollen, dust, mold...pretty much every respiratory allergy you can have. No food allergies though, at least- that sucks about the squid. D:

MangaMel In reply to avi17 [2011-11-01 09:00:52 +0000 UTC]

I guess it's funny to see how sometimes character of our own (Or not our own) could sometimes be similar to other characters where we least expect it. XD Like when I drew my agent 198 Halloween's costume (as an ANBU), he nearly looked like Kakashi. 8D

Meh~ I generally can eat whatev I can. And I'm gonna enjoy eating sashimi while I still can. I dunno whether it's true or not but it's better not to eat seafood (fish ok I think) when you have an acne break out or you're asking for itches. o-oU That's what my mom said.

Gwenniel [2011-11-01 05:55:43 +0000 UTC]

Auntie, you truly look like Esmeralda! I'm not sure what the message is because I haven't seen the movie (or even read the original book which is probably totally different from Disney's version).

Tell me about it! Allergy attacks ruin snything you try to do at the same time... Hope you feel better!

avi17 In reply to Gwenniel [2011-11-01 06:25:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Haha, it's not the real message, but we joke that it's "you can save the day and redeem yourself in the eyes of society , but if you're ugly, the girl will still run off with the hot guy." XD I do like the movie though. (And yeahhh it is. Much more depressing, but it's Victor Hugo, so that's not surprising. XD)

Ugh, thanks... Just hoping this goes away tomorrow as quickly as it came on today. T_T

That an incredibly unattractive person can save the day and be accepted by society, but the girl will still go off with the hot guy. XD

It's a joke, but still. XD I do love that movie though.

Never mind Film Festival this week, and trying to finish my practicum hours...and finals...and then going to visit relatives for Thanksgiving...not going to happen at all. XD Though I'm looking forward to visiting relatives, even though they're the crazy ones, because I just get to spend the whole time hanging with my cousin .

What are you going to write about?

Hehe yeahhhh, particularly these relatives... T_T Me too! He's supposed to be coming to stay with me here in Savannah over xmas break too, which I hope happens...we don't see each other nearly enough.

Lol that works, I guess. XD

LadyBrookeCelebwen In reply to avi17 [2011-11-02 05:35:08 +0000 UTC]

I wonder whose relatives are more interesting (read crazier)...probably mine. Yay for seeing cousins we don't get to see very often! (In my case, cousins I've never met before, because I was estranged from my dad's side of the family when they were born/adopted...)

It has a plot now! And a summary, and an excerpt on my NaNoWri page...it only took me 3000 words to decide what I was writing about...

Haha, probably yours, but I bet mine are a damn close second. XD (Oh wow, really? Have you still never met them?) It especially sucks with my cousin though, because he's also honestly probably one of my best friends. D:

Yay! Damn...usually by 3000 words, I'm done writing. XD

Lol, I'm not sure your family is even close (did I ever tell you about some of my great-grandparents?)(They live in Florida.....so no....) Awww...that really does suck. I was never that close to any of my cousins (the age difference was too great...everybody was either around my sister's age, or 2 to 3 years older then me...)

Same here! I'm going to keep on though....

Maybe not, though the family reunions on that side were...quite eventful XD (Don't think so...)(Ohhh.) It really does... Thank goodness he finally got a car. XD All of my other cousins are in their late 20s or early 30s and married, but Josh is only 9 months younger than me. We grew up with drastically different families and didn't see each other that often, but somehow we ended up with really similar interests- he majors in writing and theatre in college, and we both like to draw, and like lots of the same movies and music (even musicals! XDDD). I think his parents will never forgive me for getting him to do theatre though. XP

You can do it! (waves pom-poms)

LadyBrookeCelebwen In reply to avi17 [2011-11-03 05:52:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but I doubt any of your great-grandfathers swore up and down that if your great-grandma didn't leave him alone, he wasn't going to kill her, but he'd go blow his head off in front of her...and then did so, when she followed him out to the barn one day. And I really doubt, that even if that happened, that your family openly discusses it in front of one of the next door neighbor's girlfriends. (And by that, I mean the next door neighbor has an open relationship, with several girls)....so yeah. I really doubt your family is that insane.

That's awesome that you all are that close and similar (even if his parents are never going to forgive you).

It really is, though it sucks that he's so far away. Hehe, they'll live- their daughter married a democrat beer salesman who collects swords. XP (And oh my god, they're both redheads, and they have an adorable ginger baby. )

Unfortunately, Dad thinks it's godawful too, but he told me not to say anything...I remember sitting there one time while my grandparents watched the news and pretty much blamed every problem on "the blacks"...I ended up leaving the room because I literally couldn't NOT say something if I stayed.

(I need to find a picture...there's this one they took right after she was born, of her with her dad, who is this giant over 6 foot tall guy, with this absolutely tiny baby sleeping on him...SO cute. )

Well, my dad will tell them to shut up. Half my dad's close friend's are black (actually, the guy I told you they moved right next door to? The police officer? He's black...) Yeah, I've seen that happen too (but I lack the ability to stay quiet.) And they guy that top my dad everything he knows about martial arts (and taught 40 lbs, 7 year old me how to bring a marine down to the floor crying....Grandmaster is awesome. So awesome.)

(That sounds so adorable....)
