Tonight, at 11:45-ish PM, I walked home from the bus stop, following a longer day with a whole lot of people-association and interaction, through some mild sludge/rain.

And for the first time in a while I felt truly, utterly, really happy. Not the fandom generated fangirl happy nor the comedy-resulting amusement happy, but just the simple Hop and Dance and Twirl in the Rain for No Reason At All happy.

In fact, that's exactly what I did <3

Some time ago I came to the realization that Necran, for all his plotness, development and use in roleplays, has never once been drawn coloured.. Oh sure, he's had a Sim made of him, but that's not exactly the same.. x3;

So! In the spur of needing to make something random and test out the pressure sensitivity of the tablet/brush methods in PSE6, this saw light:

..I forgot, did an hour's arting count as speed-painting?

First saw this pop up in [info]airukitsu's Journal. Then in [info]armaina's, then [info]traxer's, then [info]neogeen's.. and began to figure, "What the heck, let's do a social experiment and see what comes from it!"

So here's the deal, some of you know about it, some don't, but the basics are like this:

Ask me either a broad question (i.e 'Who is your cruelest character?', 'What is your most optimistic story?') or a specific question/request ('Where does ___ come from?', 'Tell me about ___') and I will answer you. Or you can ask meta- questions like 'What was the inspiration for creating ____?'

References are mostly here on LJ, but also on dA

(Couldn't make myself witty enough this morning to think up a fitting paragraph to go before it.. Curse you tea-lacking mornings..)

Last week we had a rather interesting Drawing class assignment where we were told to draw up snippets or little details of at least 50 various and completely random pictures, which.. isn't at all as easy to do as you'd think in a week.
In the end, got some help from Josie, Chris and Adam, as they each tossed me 10 random pics to draw from (I can't ever choose many from few or few from many), plus managed to draw about 10 up in the first class we were given the assignment in and surfed the last few from among the various saved pictures on Neph, bringing the grand total to 45-ish, which was below the requirement but the teacher didn't seem to notice.. x3;

Only posting the ones that came out neater than the rest 'cause that would be one massive art dump and some of the stuff is on A3s which are difficult to scan (we were told to go with whatever paper size, from A1 to A5)

Also, at the bottom some rough scenes from the film, albeit a bit effed up by Photobucket (I considered them too short to toss on Youtube just yet)

So, the Drawing class pieces[15] & Primoris Rough Previews [6] )

In unrelated news, I just spent the last 8 hours of the night, from 10 PM to 6 AM playing Left 4 Dead with Mikk, Sven and Vesse at the department. Yup, still here and still kicking!
(Though we ran out of campaigns to do.. Bugger)

So got me more icons to choose from, got me a desktop soon to be delivered (once the soundcard's stuck into it as well), got me a new lovely lovely medium of chinese ink, almost half of the movie done and refreshed my memory on HTML (been using waaaay to much BBCode these past two years, as opposite to HTML)

Life's good. Increasingly busy, but good.

Some updates on things faring, and since everything comes in twos, here we go!


Good news: My dad managed to get the adapter (aka box dohickey on the recharger) fixed, so I may not have to buy a new one after all <3
Bad news: It may be a while before I'll have time enough to visit them as to pick it up. He also wished to test it first, in case the new wiring might have a hitch somewhere. Technically it should work but you never know..

Good news: Got a substantial amount of the movie project done in keyframes (18 and a half scenes out of 54) this past two weeks.
Bad news: The 'half' of a scene which compromises of the first 5 seconds of the movie is still MIA somewhere in the piles of paper at the department.. as a result, I can't finish off that scene either to make it count as the 19th.

Good news: Been going on different kinds of tea, but I may have found one which helps animate as well as keeps me awake enough as to not become zombiefied.
Bad news: I can't drink it if I plan to go to sleep in the next 2 hours, else I'll be up for the next 4..

Good news: The first week of school promises to be pretty easy as we have nearly nothing scheduled yet (plenty of time to wrap other stuff up).
Bad news: As a result, we also have no bleemin' clue what our schedule will look like aside some random courses set in place already. This makes for gawdawful planning.

Good news: Worked out an idea for a plan to assign a certain amount of work on certain days of the week (like, animate on monday, edit scenes on wednesday, work on TC pages on tuesday/thursday and colour them on friday/weekend).
Bad news: That idea requires us to have an actual schedule to incorporate it into, not to mention TC still needs a script re-work which will take a week or so of discussions with Josie at the least..


Other than that, things are chugging along surprisingly non-chaotic, despite the occasional lack of order or perspective. It's also a strange yet familiarizing feeling when you actually have birthday parties to go to in this month. Not used to knowing people who also have a birthday in September.. probably because in school I was the only one for nearly half of the term served there (there was one other, but she left in the 6th or 5th grade).

And we got plums <3

Recently a tragedy struck my frail little online life when Neph's recharger (Yes, I do name some of my most used appliances, sue me) cord melted, leaving the laptop to survive on what precious little power there was left in the two batteries I have for it. While normally it wouldn't be seen as much of a big deal, then to consider Neph's a pretty old model and all the new ones have nothing that could be used on it as well, I still linger with a concern of whether a new charger box/brick dohickey of Neph's model is still in excistance somewhere..

Hooking up with the local Dell representive told me they'd search around for one and get back to me, but the delivery could take up to 3 weeks. The bummery aspect is that searching online would amount to about the same worth of waiting time for it to be delivered (outside Estonia, only found one from a local vendor that's almost fitting, but the amps were a bit too high) plus a rather evil postal fee to boot, no doubt.

So, yeah.. up until then, I'll be forced to use the remaining 'juice' sparingly and pop online from the department or from the desktop at home (just as soon as I manage to finish wrestling my brother for it).

But, on a lighter note, artz and photos!

In light of discovering movies I'm yet to see, found a channel on Youtube with a whole bunch of trailers, including the ones I was looking for. So, after having hunted through the list for some time, thought I might as well compile a To See list of my own:

- 2012
- 9
- The Brothers Bloom
- Daybreakers
- Planet 51
- Ninja Assassin
- Mutant Chronicles
- The Last Airbender
- Whiteout
- The Book of Eli
- Tron: Legacy
- Sherlock Holmes
- Avatar


More may be added as huntin' continues

Things I Learned on Vilsandi (Spit of Island west of Saaremaa, for the confused):

- The little island has it's share of odd natural mutations in the local fauna. Such include the killer-swallows that swoop at you relentlessly whenever you cross the farm's yard, the bohemian woodpeckers that value a good sound of a small wooden house over food for days and the uncommon earwig, that's just Friggen' Big.

- I have a kind of an affliction to injuring my right hand in many different kind of ways, including but not limited to: slamming the fridge door so the thumb gets stuck between the door and the 'ridge' over the door, scratching myself over a dust-bin's uncovered screw, slicing the skin between the thumb and the index finger with a knife while attempting to dry it (slippery blighters..) and getting it bitten by a horse.

- Vilsandi is afflicted in storms as I am in injuring my right hand.

- The only exception to the former is the President. Vilsandi storms either fear his presence or the presence of his Secret Service. In either case, Presidential visit meant a day of sunshine in an otherwise week long rain, thunder, howling winds and general muckery of weather.

- In terms of puddle jumping vs. rainstorm fishing, rainstorm fishing wins.

- In terms of rainstorm fishing vs. speedboat traveling, speedboat traveling wins.

- Even in water up to my chin, it is still possible to seriously scrape one's knee upon divings. Still, the water was crystal clear, so that made up for it :3

- Kuressaare airport is very much like Kopenhagen airport in the sense of the approach and landing. In case of Kopenhagen you spend 5 minutes on approach over the sea and the final last 10-15 seconds watching tarmac go by and land. In Kuressaare, you spend all but the last two seconds between approach and tyre's hitting asphalt going "Ohshiterockstrentchesgrasslandrocksrockrocks!"

- You don't quite miss tea until you've gone a week without.. And although I do not think myself addicted to gummibears, they were sorely missed. (Note: There is no store on Vilsandi. Even if there were, I highly doubt they'd sell 'em)

- Cows are scary up close.. And no, I don't mean this in a City-slicker-never-seen-one-alive sense. I mean it in a sense where it's midnight, there's one staring you in the face, with a calf, a whole bunch of party people shouting and laughing around and being in a semi-fenced area.
I'd get nervous too, honestly..

- Estonian islands can only be classified as Large, Small, Smaller, Smallest, Tiny and Spit-of Lands. Seriously, when compared it all makes sense.

- I forgot how much I loved Dannyl <3 (*discovered she still was half-way through The Magician's Guild, which she started reading, oh, around November last year?*

In an odd tid-bit of A Lesson From Life, one doesn't really realize just how much they might use the thumb on their handed (whether you are right- or left-handed) hand, before they go and tear a nice gash in it against a screw in a wooden lid, on the inner palm's side.

One slab of artz to go with the scale-fingers to complete the day:



Tried something a bit different with this, but now I'm also unsure where to take it from here. The lineart looks more or less good, but coloured it might be even better. The question with colours is whether to take some kind of odd route with that as well, and if so, which one? Or just to go with the usual and see what happens x3;

Ah, decisions, decisions..
