Description FREAKIN' FINALLY.

Now that that's out of the way . . . This is ~Lightingboy 's kiriban picture, and it's probably the most ambitious project I've ever undertaken. The backgrounds of the jewels are all previously unreleased fractals: the first was untitled; the second was "Balance"; the third (if you can even tell it's there) is a mild fractal that I was going to use for texturing; the fourth is called "Foxfire"; the fifth was to be my entry into the "Chkra" #Apophysis WTC which I decided was too plain; and the sixth is an early version of "Phoenix Heart -Be Reborn-" that I liked a lot because it looked a little more 'innocent,' if that makes sense. The underlying fractal is a modified form of plastic, and I used ~trystianity 's plastic script (located in her gallery--you should go take a look either way because she is amazing) to make the process easier. It is, by far, my favorite script and one of the most versatile I've come across.

I made the jewels with help from ~nmsmith 's jewel creation tutorial. Again, you should go look at his stuff. That's part of why I'm not including a link.

~Lightingboy , I hope you like it!

NOTE: No print for this one because I'm hoping to get it into my gallery. This can only happen if I redo it, though, so there might be a print in the future. I don't know yet.

I'm doing well, just blowing off some time in one of my classes, of course.

Congrats on your pregnancy, btw!

fanficbug In reply to SonyKidna [2007-09-26 15:37:26 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, thanks. I'm really lucky--I'm having such a remarkably comfy pregnancy, and I've wanted for a long time to have kids . . . still a bit terrified of the whole process of labor, but hey--who isn't? Heh. I would tell you not to blow off too much, but that'd make me a hypocrite, so I'll just wish you luck and fun.

SonyKidna In reply to fanficbug [2007-09-29 05:17:32 +0000 UTC]

That's awesome, I can't wait to have kids myself when I get married, although I'm also a little intimidated by having to go through labor too. Like you said, who isn't? And I only blew off because my teacher never showed up for class, so it was justified.

wow..... they're like baby galaxies... I'm really impressed by the quality of your fractals these days, keep up the good work!
Also, I didn't get to comment on the actual journal post but congratulations on the baby! Wow, I know I'm getting old when my juniors start having kids. I want to know how everythings goes, you guys have my best wishes.

Thank you!

I'll be sure and keep you updated as much as possible. I'm a bit surprised (pleasantly so) that everyone is reacting so well. The only negative comment I've gotten was from my friend Blake, and he hates kids and puts a lot of emphasis on security and the like. Heh. Oh well, I'm not going to let it bother me.

Good to hear from you again! So what's going on with you?

Werecat-ITS In reply to fanficbug [2007-09-27 05:23:38 +0000 UTC]

Were it another set of my juniors, I might be a little worried. But really, I think you and ET are very solid and capable and you have a good family (on his side at least) to back you up... I think you're gonna do fine ^_^

I'm good, still at Mizzou, still pre-vet, it's my third year. I'm the president of anime club here, which is a lot of fun. Plus I've got a regular role-play group I play with on weekendss. I get to see the old gang from asms every time I go home, which is fun. I keep meaning to make a trip up to LR to hang out with people but so far haven't gotten a chance... I'd really love to visit sometime though. How's everything going with you? I don't really hear much besides what I get from your journal posts. Is everything going well?

How many years do you have left, out of curiousity? It's so cool that you're becoming a vet. We're planning on moving back up north once we settle everything down here--it's a scary thought to be alone with a new baby! And yeah, I'm doing pretty okay. I have some kind of unknown disorder that's causing my lymph nodes to stay swollen (a year and running ), but it's not causing any complications to the pregnancy and it's not cancer, so I'm happy. It's good to hear from you again!
