Description Wanted to work on the character busts for my story.
Here's my OC Dark Kali.
I don't know which one was more annoying...drawing the long curvy lines of the hair or the beads XD.

I would had thought coloring the hair would be more annoying

It's good to see more AE art

<3 You know when shared she was originally an SM OC that got put in the back of my mind, now I find that I've pulled my own SM OC to her original story. Thank you~ I really like this piece, using hair to frame it. <3 I have a love hate relationship with beads so I'm going to go with those!

Lol. Awesome.
Kali has changed soooo very much since her days as a fan fic character. But it's been a great journey. I hope you experience the same growth and understanding with your own characters.

I think the hair looks amazing. I'm always impressed with how you draw and color long hair. So, even if it was annoying, it looks great.

I always have issues with creating nice looking, flowing lines digitally. Working with a mouse and the pen tool is annoying when it comes to that. As for beads, I usually draw just a few and then just C&P them, haha. I am lazy like that.

Either way, it is soooo lovely to see some new art from you! Especially when it comes to Kali - you know I love her design, hee hee. :3

It was good to do something again...I literally didn't pick up a pencil for a whole month. D: *shame*

I do the same thing with beads. I'll usually draw a 'string' and then draw the first bead, and copy past it, rotating and moving them so that they are strung through the middle. The oblong ones are a pain in the butt. XD

Ah, ever since those health issues I've had (and still partially have), I haven't been able to properly start drawing again. Whenever I start, I just feel discouraged after a while or simple lose interest in the piece.

Awful, I'm tellin' ya.

I think I'm starting to just expect bad stuff lately...the other day I noticed I probably have a cavity in my back tooth, so I go and make an appointment for the dentist (which totally set off my anxiety)and then my husband comes home a few hours later and tells me that he might not get paid for the next 6 weeks if the government shutdown goes through. I'm so totally trying not to think about that.

On the upside, on Wednesday after my dental appointment, we supposedly will be receiving the list of possible assignments for our next base.

silver-eyes-blue In reply to Kalisama [2011-04-08 12:16:34 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah, I also discovered some mild cavity in one of my back teeth. Will have to go have it checked soon. But I hate dentists. T_T

And I am sorry you have to worry about financial stuff now, too.

Do let me know once you get the list of possible assignments. I am curious as to where they might send you. ^^

Kalisama In reply to silver-eyes-blue [2011-04-08 16:01:42 +0000 UTC]

Me too. D: Ever since that awful visit when I was 23, I've had this anxiety that I'm going to walk into a dentist and there's going to be a million things wrong with my mouth and then they're gonna like take all my teeth, and the bill is going to be super high, and just...yeah. But I know it needs to be taken care of...It's partially my fault if I have problems this time because I haven't been to the dentist in a year and a half. With everything that's been going on it kinda got thrown further down my priority list.

On the other hand I get so mad at my husband because I brush anywhere from 3-6 times a day and I'm still getting cavities, and he normally just rinses out his mouth (maybe he'll take the time to brush once, if he feels like it) and he almost never has any problems. The man must have enamel of steel...

silver-eyes-blue In reply to Kalisama [2011-04-08 16:05:38 +0000 UTC]

lol My enamel keeps "melting" away... The back teeth on the right side of my jaw - the side I use the most for chewing - have recently started to become very sensitive to pressure and sweet or hot food, even though there are no cavities there. That probably means the enamel is damaged/gone. T_T

And my husband has perfect, beautiful white teeth. -_-; Unfair. Even though we both only brush once a day.

Kalisama In reply to silver-eyes-blue [2011-04-08 16:15:37 +0000 UTC]

I wonder if it's a stress issue. Sometimes your teeth can hurt if you are grinding or clamping them in your sleep. Maybe you could try some toothpaste for sensitive teeth. That might help.
I over brush. It's part of my anxiety. I'm trying to keep it down to 3 a day. >,<

silver-eyes-blue In reply to Kalisama [2011-04-08 16:17:26 +0000 UTC]

lol I do grind my teeth in my sleep, but I hate having that protector-thingy in my mouth, as it makes me drool like crazy.

Kalisama In reply to silver-eyes-blue [2011-04-08 16:25:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh gosh, I tried to wear one of them kinds that you mold to your teeth...I think that lasted a week before I decided it was too uncomfortable to sleep with something in my mouth.
That's probably why you're having problems though if it's not a cavity issue.

silver-eyes-blue In reply to Kalisama [2011-04-08 16:57:37 +0000 UTC]

I had the kind which looks similar to what fighters/boxers wear during their fights, haha. But I really hated it, lol.

Kalisama In reply to silver-eyes-blue [2011-04-09 11:50:38 +0000 UTC]

XD Yeah that would probably be very annoying.
The one I had cost like $20 and it had to be boiled and molded to my teeth, but I'm guessing it was a lot more comfortable than a mouth guard.
Dave's dad has one the dentist made for him, I think he said it cost like $300 @_@

Well, here in Germany (and most of Europe) we are lucky enough that a lot of the basic things are covered by health insurance, so you don't have to pay for them, and the more "luxurious" stuff is also sometimes partially covered, depending on the kind of health insurance you have.
