Description Whatcha gonna do with that blue feather there eh? Yer dog's gettin' bored.



I'm tired of school. I'm tired of reading books. I'm tired of required NSFW lit. I'm tired of writing papers. 我学中文得很累。 (I'm tired of Chinese.) I'm tired of blundering into cigarette smoke clouds on the biggest university campus in the country.

I'm just tired.

And I feel like if I don't post something I'm gonna die.

And I saw that somebody by the screenname of ~HarvestMoonFreak723 started following me. And I thought Huh.... I liked Harvest Moon. That was a fun game. Oh wait didn't I draw something about it....?

So ~HarvestMoonFreak723 .... this little blast from the past is for you. Thanks for the watch.

Enjoy, friends, something else that kind soul up in Washington put into Nintendo Power, though I could not tell you what issue off the top of my head.... And I had only just barely joined the [now defunct] Nintendo Forums, and so wasn't yet allowed to upload pictures for their magazine-bound fanart contests.... so then there had been somebody else, some other user who had been online longer, who was kind enough to help me out with that little technicality, stretching way out on a limmmbb.... and what do you know, I won best traditional and got in the magazine. I felt so happy.

Harvest Moon 64 guy thinks about giving his blue feather to someone special.... if he can only work up the nerve....

Might try for a better scan later. This sucker's old.

"Whatcha gonna do with that blue feather there eh?" I just love that line, I think I know exactly how it would be said out loud

Another Nintendo Power goodie eh?? I just love your coloring! It's so...YUMMY. I'm starting to think about how much of an impact your OoT drawing gave me when I was looking through my cousins magazines. Gosh, I'm getting nostalgic now!

Hahaha, I just figured I better put some references to the picture in my.... tired raeging comments up there.

Jah 'nother one!! I felt so fortunate to be featured twice in Nintendo Power (but this is the last one.... it didn't happen anymore! ) Aoh man I used to give my colored pencils so much more love.... I need to do something with them again.... gotta be bold.... no layers, no undo, just color....

I just went back and looked at your comment there.... you just touch my heart!

Sounds to me like you could use a vacation!

But lovely picture by the way. I must say that I have never played Harvest Moon.

YES I COULD BABY. 8D

Hehe, thank you. It's a really swell game. Far deeper than I thought it'd be.

Hey, that was a treat to find Contraltissimo art in my inbox!

I like this! It's quite cute. I like how you coloured it as well

Funny thing is, for the longest time, I was seeing your art on DA, but the reason I decided to joi was do that I could chat and learn from you and Crownflame XD and I have learned some, for sure.

Hehe, why thanks, friend!

Awww, yeah it was fun to draw the tiny little big-headed 64-graphics guy. XD Omgosh adorable game. And much deeper than I'd expected....

Oh you! Haha I can see where you're coming from.... sometimes people just go so much deeper than their art.... I know I've met some incredible, wise conversationalists with amazing things to say on here.... I feel humbled that someone else could see that in me, too.

KingfisherCreek In reply to Contraltissimo [2013-04-21 18:23:40 +0000 UTC]

you're welcome!

haha ,is it deep? I don't even know what it's about! I've heard of it, but not played it.

It was really surprising, honestly. to come on to DA and not expect to really meet anyone and then meet some really great people was a nice surprise The best thing for me is to have wise conversation, I think. It makes your thoughts work and turn and gets new ideas forming. I really love to talk about anything, deep or not, and it's always great when people talk about happenings and opinions with me

Of course I see it in you! You don't seem to be a scratch the surface kind of person, you seem more like a person who has intelligent things to say. That's why I like to chat with you now and again I'd love to do it more, to be honest ^ ^

It was surprising! It's just a farming game.... you grow crops, you raise animals.... you woo your sweetheart and eventually you can propose with a blue feather.... But the interactions you can have with all the townspeople, the way people change over time with how you act toward them was just really, really close to home. So real. So legit. It was beautiful.

Omgosh you are so sweet. Hehe, I think way back when I joined.... I wasn't really thinking about conversations either. But it's amazing what deep friendships and deep talks you can end up having on here!
