Description
-- This picture is tradingcard-sized - which means the original is even smaller! --Done with watercolors and colored pencils.
This is a halloween-aceo which I painted in october last year.
(The german title is: "Sei auf der Hoot-Hoot". It's kind of a wordplay)

So warm, so October, makes me forget that it's May! ^u^

Thank you. :3 But you shouldn't forget it's May. : O Otherwise May will be very sad.
And I don't want him to be sad, because it brought very nice weather to germany. <3

You think of May as a he? I've always felt may was a female month, you know like July is a male month, or maybe I'm crazy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Ah, no. In the german language, every month is male. ;D
But come to think of it... I've the feeling that march and avril are female... December is male... but I'm not sure about the others. xD
Hm, yes, you are crazy. But I like these ways of thinking, and I'm kind of crazy, too.
To me, numbers are very important! : O
From 1 to ten is the 4 my favorite number, because I think it's most beautiful and kind of feminine. I also like 8 - I've the feeling that 8 is very strong. And I like 7, but I really don't know why. xD But the numbers 1 and 6 are kind of... ugly and boring.
And the appearance of words! : D I love some letters, and some others are very fine in a special combination with other ones... and some letters are just a no-go, or seem to be boring or dry or something.
xDD I created my nick-name on deviantart with the help of my weird feelings concerning letters.
You see - I'm crazy, too. xD

Yeah March and April seem female too, but June is weird, it looks male, but it is named after goddess of fertility Juno, so who knows maybe it IS female.
For me numbers have personalities:
1: doesn't have a soul, just stands there staring at everyone with an undeserved superiority coplex
2: It definitely female, also vary vane, I think this number is french
3: is fat for some reason, and it makes the most horrible multiplications D:
4: is a wanna-be two lol, he isn't a very complicated number, but because it grows at a larger scale it is hard to calculate sometimes.
5: is pregnant
6: is a dumbass, everyone treats him like crap, and he is always kissing everyone's butt in multipliation (4x6=24 8x6=48), although now that I look at it, it looks like 2.5, please don't ask how that works
7: is soooooo complicated, it's ridiculous, and very handsome, like the 007 GoldenEye guy
8: Is a total bitch 
9: is like a rich guy, but he can never quite get the job done right, maybe because he's not quite a 10
0: It's like a fat mean ghost
10: and all the other numbers are combinations of their personalities, and in each case it differs, sometimes the more evil, or advantageous number will use the other one for its own purposes
Now who's crazy?

TheMexicanSmeargle 1:0 Diaris xD
But to be honest - people are either crazy or boring. So you're still... kind of... lucky. xD
By the way - your feeling of numbers is very interesting. I always thought, 4 is totally female and 5 and 8 are male. But they had never such a detailed character.
Come to think of it, I'm wondering if we might find some interesting stories while brooding over some arithmetic problems.
If a french woman met some fat guy, the result would always be pregnancy...
And what about Pi? It would first and foremost be fat. It's fat and doesn't have a soul. He's male (/female in my definition) and intransparent. And it REALLY doesn't have a soul. And HE is pregnant. He's rich but incapable. And suddenly there's feminine and french side! Oh, and did I mention he's fat? xD ...
Hm. It would definitely be interesting meeting the person Pi.
-- I just noticed - this conversation is the ultimate prove that we're crazy. --
If you think about numbers that much... Do you like math as much as I do?
Oh, and I saw you're the same age as me. Did you also finish school last year? (Or is there a completely different educational system in Mexico...) If yes - then what are you doing now? Studying art?
I apologize for my curiosity. *big grin*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First of all I couldn't help but have this stupid grin on my face as I read this and just laughed all the way though
Hmmmmm If 4 is french then it is female, and it wears prada, if 5 is male then it is a very annoying man, while I just can't see 8 as male, unless you dress it up in a tuxedo or something xD
The french woman would have to be a fraction... ? what xD I just got lost there but I kinda get what you're saying. I guess 0 could be a condom? xD
Hmmm but looking at the sign for Pi, he looks English to me and really skinny long-legged, high-nosed and with a lens on one eye
Yes, yes it definitely is proof of that, but they say some of the most brilliant people in history were totally insane.
I LOVE math, I just don't feel much like doing homework!! Repetition is boring!!! I prefer one long and very complex problem, of course I like to review before solving the problem if I haven't touched the subject in a while, but during the week, but if I'm in class, I'm trying to figure out how the formula works before the teacher explains it!!
People here graduate at 18, but I will be 21 in June 4th. I dropped out of school while I was in the US, but I got back into school about a year and a half ago in a paid system, and I will be graduating on June 10th.
I do not think I will study art, I mean I love to draw but it's just not gonna feed me in this economy and my skill is not proportion or drawing itself, but detailing, I LOVE to do detail, I HATE figuring out proportions, I cannot view it mathematically, instead it works with detail, the more detail I have the more sense things make, but it makes it hard to correct mistakes.
I don't ming curiosity as I am curious myself xD Feel free to share about yourself with me :3

Ah, the stupid grin. I bet, everyone knows it but very unhumorous people. ^__^
"If a french woman met some fat guy, the result would always be pregnancy..."
Didn't you notice? You explained how numbers feel for ya, and I translated one simple arithmetic problem. xD
(2+3=5)
"Yes, yes it definitely is proof of that, but they say some of the most brilliant people in history were totally insane."
There's a german magazine called "Spiegel" (engl.= mirror). Some weeks ago, they had an article about exactely this theme. They found out, that all the great and brilliant people like Einstein or Picasso had a weird way of thinking. They weren't able to focus on important things only - that's why they kept thinking of aspects which were apparently nonrelevant, too, when trying to concentrate on important problems. ;D
That's why they had all these brilliant ideas and theories.
Haha xD I know the problem about homework. I ignored them most the time. (I didn't need them anyway - listening to the teacher during class was enough.)
And I loved the complex exercises in math, too.
It's so much fun to solve them step by step.
(I'm going to study computer sciences. Therefore you need a lot of math, too. x3)
Oh, you were in the US? :3 What did you do there all the time?
Ah, I see, I see. :3 Yes, studying art has a lot of contras. You would hardly earn your living until you're one of the best artists in your country (or until your dead xD); you'd probably be a freelancer (which means - you don't have fixed salary, and you've to always search for new commissions. So you're frantically busy x_x); and you couldn't decide WHAT to draw because your purchasers would do; and last but not least -- I for myself would definitely MISS something in my life, when I decided to draw each day for the rest of my life.
(And I'm glad to hear you like details. xD I love them, too. And I totally understand what you mean with "the more details, the more sense things make"! 
By the way - I'm sorry for always answering that late. There's very much to be done lately, because I'll remove next month. (The greatest problem is - I'm still looking for an apartment. x,D )
And writing to you always takes some time.

true true cX
Haha yeah I noticed but I guess I was thinking perhaps you were using your key of numbers and not mine, I was too lazy to check at the time xD

to be honest that was just my assumption but I´m glad to know I am backed by a german magazene
: D
Here you aqre evaluated with homework too, whatever you get on your homework goes on your overall grade, but still I am reluctant to do it. It was the same way in the US, too. But the tests, I just LOVED the tests especially math tests, which I usually got more than 100% on because I did the extra credit, tricky problems :3 Getting the highest possible percentage score on a test was like, a delight for me, because of my obsessiveness with mathematical perfection at times xD
What did I do in the US? Not a lot of sight seeing really, I just lived there, a normal-ish life, impaired a bit because we were a humble household, but otherwise just lived in that world, really different from what I feel living back here in mexico. Like I said two different worlds completely, I don´t know how to describe it, but the feeling you get being in a new place is certainly "alien"
Yes, when you put all those points up front it really is a very hard road indeed, it{s like this, you make art to escape from your world for a little bit, or because you want to do something impressive for yourself or for the world, but there is a KEY in that, that you WANT TO do this, but when you are forced, I htink a bit of the magic escapes, unless you get to do your favorite subject, like cartoonists love cartoons and so they do that, or a person that just sells his landscape paintings, but comissions especially, I think, take a bit of the magic away if you can´t build upon it(like a portrait for example) you are confined and constricted.
Then again you know there ARE masochist artists lol, maybe they get a kick out of suffering having to repeatedly do what they don´t want to or something xD
Details, especially in traditional art, to me is like effort. The more detailed the more effort it took and the more effort that was put into it, and it doesn´t even have to be insane texturing detail, a really smooth face that isn´t rendered with powder but with a regular pencil takes a TREMENDOUS amount of patience and effort, so that qualifies as well
You´re moving, huh? Well I certainly know how hectic(sp) that can be, I understand completely don{t worry your little head about it

"to be honest that was just my assumption but I´m glad to know I am backed by a german magazene
: D"
You should definitely read some of them. xD
"Then again you know there ARE masochist artists lol, maybe they get a kick out of suffering having to repeatedly do what they don´t want to or something xD"
xD Hard to imagine, but the world is full of crazy people.
"take your time and you don´t HAVE to reply to every single little thing, heck if we both do this could turn into an encyclopedia!!"
xD I had this conversation-theme with another person some years ago. We finally decided to just answer as short as possible, because it took so long writing and then reading the answer which had always the dimension of a roman. xD
Guess how we ended up?
Chatting over the internet - hours and hours, everyday. xD (At that time, I tought myself to write with all ten fingers, and blind. 
Uhh, there's a thunderstorm approaching. Call me crazy but I always get nervous using electric devices while thunderstorms, >.< so I'm going to switch lights and computer off for now.
I promise to repeat quickly from now on!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But I speak no german!!
xD "my fingers are beleeding!! Yess!!! I must draW onward!"
What do you mean the dimension of a roman? That does make sense, the short answers c:
I figured, i don{t reply to everything all the time but I do read it, just so you know xD I can almost type blind myself, but I often make mistakes if I don´t at least look at what I´m writing on the screen xD
There was a strong thunderstorm a few nights ago here, crazy strong rain D: The lights went out x_x
Like I said, don´t worry take your time and I don´t have internet now so I will take some tiem replying

"What do you mean the dimension of a roman?"
Uh, sorry. xD I'm sorry, I used the wrong word. "Roman" is the german word for novel.
Of course my sentence doesn't make sense with the word "roman". xD I guess I was kind of tired when I wrote that.
Talking in the dimension of a novel. Does this sound correct? xD
A thunderstorm which made the lights turn out? 
You know, some years ago, there was a ligthning strike some streets away from our house. The house burned away. But the scariest thing was, that the power of the ligthning went into the electric cables of every house in the neighborhood! This must have been an enourmous overvoltage and it destroyed our televisor, toaster, hairdryer and the computer of my dad. = (
My computer luckily survived, but from that moment on I always unplug my important electric devices during thunderstorms... Just in case... @___@
Oh, why don't you have internet now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm, like an alternate dimension? As in the reality in the story?
I wonder if it is true that thunder starts on the ground and goes up to the cloud :S
Woooow. I can understand why you would be scared of that happening again, that must have been scary as hell o: I get why you take the precautions, but don´t you think it is highly unlikely to happen again? I mean if it happened once... but still that is just creepy D: Like from a movie xD
I haven´t paid the bill xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD No! I meant the size of a novel. The enormous size... the dimension? xD Mah, I think I've to work a bit harder on my english.
Uh, I heard about that, too.
I even heart of lightenings starting in the earth atmosphere and going up in the outer space. These things are so interesting *_*.
Well, actually it wasn't that creepy. xD We didn't see any flashes along the cables or something (like you would've seen it in a movie for sure) xD. We just noticed that some of our devices suddenly didn't work any longer and that was it.
You haven't paid the bill? xD Blame on you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh dimension as in mathematics, the greatness, as in length, so the adjective would be umm... lengthy xD
I have trouble understanding things, and I was in the US for 8 years! xD
woooooa outer space? That IS interesting :3
hahaha that´s exactly what I imagined, big electric currents flowing around lol
Blame the economy, hopefully it will get better though, since tourism should be swarming here soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xDD Wahaha, you've seen to many movies!
But well, somehow it would be cool to tell everyone, something like this happened.
"There were flashes all around us! They came out of the cables and destroyed EVERYTHING! And there was an extreme detonation when a flash hit our tv! And the tv dashed into the wall behind and then there were flames everywhere!!!... 0__0"
Yeees~... being able to tell these kind of story... would definitely be cool. xD
Why should tourism swarm to mexico soon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed I have, back to the future ftw
hahahaha TV sparks everywhere xD, that was probably because of the cheap production values of old movies
Not mexico exactly, but national tourism, it is the season, people get off school, everyone from the capital goes to the beach, many of them visit our beach. It used to be a lot more international tourism visited us, including germans, italians, english, american, asian, etc. Now it´s like we don´exist, the golden time of acapulco has long passed.

xD Oh, well, I always thought, it has only one leg. xD
It's one of the pokémon-mysterys... Another one is how Doduo and Dodrio manage to "fly". xD Because both of them are able to learn the VM.

Ich finde deine Bilder echt klasse

Echt? xD
Also was meine Bilder angeht, bestimmt nicht. Ich lade sogar mehr auf Mexx hoch als hier. :3 Es ist blöd, man bekommt hier kaum Feedback. :<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ja, hier kriegt man wirklich kaum Kommentare... bei DA gehen die meisten Bilder leider in der Masse unter. Ohne Gruppen hat man leider kaum eine Chance, insofern ist mir Animexx noch lieber.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ja, aber auch MIT Gruppen ist es hier etwas völlig anderes! Ich meine, ich habe Bilder, die hier doppelt so oft favorisiert wurden wie auf Animexx, aber trotzdem nur die Hälfte an Kommentaren bekamen. Und DIE Kommentare bestehen dann auch noch meist nur aus wenigen Worten wie "That looks really sweet", und das war's. ^__^'
Vielleicht bin ich auch bloß verwöhnt, aber von Animexx bin ich weit schönere Kommentare gewöhnt xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ja, geht mir auch so... ^^° Konstruktive Kommentare kann man hier leider nicht erwarten. Aber ich muss zugeben, hier auf DA schreib ich selber auch kaum konstruktive Sachen, nämlich einfach, weil mein Englisch zu schlecht dafür ist. Vielleicht gehts ja einigen Usern hier so. (Aber gut, die meisten hier sind aus der USA, also ist das ne schlechte Ausrede ^^°)
