Description *death rattle* THREE WEEKS! Three weeks without drawing ANYTHING! I don't think I've ever been so thankful for a vacation before. Good grief.

Anyway, I'm about to pass out, so I guess I'll keep this short. Which should be easy since I don't have much to say -- the inspiration for this was basically just seeing the leaves turn color. Other than that, I really have no friggin idea what I was trying to do. In any case, I think I'll be perpetually amused with the fact that I gave Ulquiorra like... a bow. Hurg.

Thanks! I was kind of nervous about drawing him that way, even though I thought it would be fun, so I'm glad he turned out. I'll probably have to try it again sometime... ^^

And UxO ftw indeed!

Aaaugh, don't you hate when you know you were thinking about something, but you can't remember what it was? It's like your brain is teasing you or something.

But two ideas are good! You'll have to let me know when you get around to them.

ChaosMagicianGirl In reply to Frotu [2008-12-09 01:36:23 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes!! It's the worst when you have a great idea but before you get a chance to write it down to remind yourself, it leaves your brain.

I certainly will!!

Frotu In reply to ChaosMagicianGirl [2008-12-13 02:50:28 +0000 UTC]

That always burn so bad afterward, since you just end up kicking yourself for not remembering or for not making a note to remind yourself.

One nice thing that can happen, though, is that trying so hard to remember can spark all sorts of inspiration for other things.

ChaosMagicianGirl In reply to Frotu [2008-12-13 07:52:36 +0000 UTC]

Exactly!!!!
That's why now I'm starting to write myself notes to remind myself.
Not sure if you saw, but I DID finish 2 Ulquiorra/Orihime pictures recently

heh heh I've noticed that!
I had a TON of ideas but just can't ever keep up...

Frotu In reply to ChaosMagicianGirl [2009-01-04 18:01:17 +0000 UTC]

Sorry that it's taken me so long to reply! T__T

Anyway, yeah, that's definitely good that you are trying to write notes of your ideas! I'm sure a lot less slips through the cracks that way. Hehe, I wish I wasn't so lazy... unless I'm on the computer or already drawing, I rarely get the motivation to look around for a paper and writing utensil to make notes. >__>

And I will definitely go look at your piccies! ^__^

ChaosMagicianGirl In reply to Frotu [2009-01-05 08:38:43 +0000 UTC]

My notes are usually written on random pieces of paper stuck in my sketchbook
But what I really need to start doing more often is writing down my dreams so they will become stronger and more vivid.

LOL!!!! Me too! I'm usually either on the computer or drawing!

Thanks

Frotu In reply to ChaosMagicianGirl [2009-01-10 09:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, as long as they get the job done, I guess that's all that matters, right?

Oooh, you're trying to have stronger dreams? I don't know if it's something you're interested in, but I read some stuff about lucid dreaming a while back. One of the exercises they had was to say "This is a dream" like thirty times before going to bed. While I never got to the point where I had lucid dreams, I got to the point where I remembered at least one dream every morning when I woke up. Maybe that would be helpful for you?

And no thanks is needed for checking out your pictures -- really, I should be thanking you for giving me something to look at!

Thank you I'll have to try that!
I'm sometimes able to achieve that half awake half asleep mode when I have lights on and sound to distract me from going completely under, but it doesn't always work.

Glad you liked!

SweetAyu [2008-11-26 02:29:17 +0000 UTC]

Very nicely, done. Your background really does give the random feeling you were going for. I also like the concept of ulqui not wearing his arrancar mask, it makes him look very modern. Great job, as always.

Hehe, well, I've always had a soft spot for black hair and light colored eyes, so I already had my suspicions on that front. Glad I'm not totally alone... *laughs*

But I'm glad you like the colors, especially since that was a lot of the original inspiration...

Well, in my mind, winter is more of the "december through february" time, especially january-early february. I'm excited for Christmastime, which I regard as a separate season unto itself. XD I do not have to drive to school then, so snow and ice do not bother me. But when it takes an hour to drive to school... yeah, that part of winter is not so fun.

wow... an
hour? i probably would feel different abuot winter if
i had to drive an hour to schol in the snow and ice.
lol, yeah, christmas time does seem like its own seperate season.

Haha, yeah. I used to live in Arizona, so I was all excited when my family moved and we had a real winter. And theeeeen I started having to drive to school in the snow, and it wasn't nearly as awesome. XD

Well it looks great, despite whatever was on your mind. You on vacation? Do you remember that Katara sketch you did for me, you said if it wasn't colored you'd color it for me Thanksgiving. Well, I was never able to get anyone to color it. So if you can spare the time, I'd love to see what you can do.

Frotu In reply to Brandee-Ssj-Doll [2008-11-27 03:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I am indeed on vacation, but so far it hasn't been nearly as vacation-y as I would have liked. u___u I utterly bombed my last organic chemistry test (nice little 57%....), so I'm not trying to go over all four chapters that were on the test and really learn everything. Pretty much sucks, since I was hoping to like... relax. For once. *laughs*

And I did not forget about the Katara picture -- I put the lineart on my desktop on Saturday to help me remember. So it is definitely something that I'm hoping to get done for you... we'll just have to see how things goes. I didn't realize that Thanksgiving was so late this year, though, so I only have like 2 1/2 weeks of school left before my month long Christmas break. I KNOOOOW I will get it done by then, if my homework ends up killing me this week...

Brandee-Ssj-Doll In reply to Frotu [2008-11-27 04:06:52 +0000 UTC]

Vacation from school is supposed to serve as a relief and relaxation from school. It's not to catch up on some studying. I understand though. You gotta do what you gotta do. If you're having trouble you're making the right decision in studying. Hopefully, it won't overwhelm you too much.

YAY!!! You didn't forget Just knowing that you plan to color the Katara piece is good enough for me. Take your time. I really apprieciate it.

Frotu In reply to Brandee-Ssj-Doll [2008-11-30 19:06:40 +0000 UTC]

I most certainly agree that vacation is supposed to be for relaxing, but it often seems to be an excuse for profs to just pile on more work since they think we'll have more time. And as far as overwhelming me, that happened months ago. Like... probably the first week of school. XD

I got the base colors down for the picture, but since I really want the pattern on the kimono to be nice, I haven't gotten any more done. I'm glad you understand, though. ^^

That just sucks. I just can't think of better words to describe it all.

Yeah, I understand. And I think its neat of you to jazz it up a bit. I'm very grateful.

Haha, well I think sucks described it pretty well myself.

Mmmmm... I hope that you approve of the picture, now that I got it done. I know the background is really lame, but it's hard to do backgrounds without it looking busy when there is a kimono in the picture....
