Lol, comic... Blaire and Raei

Blaire greets you "Hello~!"



More images can be found here.

•A little background info•

Risan, Raei, and Blaire all belong to Clan Exodus, the primary clan among the Exodus and Genesis twin clan. They make the decisions on whom to send in the battle field or missions.

Risan is the leader and the main attacker. His range is close and long-range, using a deft blade and a pistol as weapons. His element is unknown and has a possiblity to be neutral. He's the only male character in the clan.
Raei is the support/buffer/healer. Her range is long-range and a magic user. Her element is Wind (attack) or Air (heal)
Blaire is the dexterity type. Her range is medium, shooting projectiles either in mid-air or ground, and has the ability to pilfer items. Her element is Fire.

Sonarra, Xene, Terah-Nouven, and Shaia all belong to Clan Genesis, the secondary/support clan. They serve as a backup.

Sonarra is the secondary leader. Her range is long-range, using a bow (and rarely a rod) for combat.
Xene is the support/buffer/healer. Her range can be long or close range, using spears as weapon.
Terah-Nouven is a temporary character and is soon replaced by Shaia. Both are adept in close range combats and their weapon is a sword called Samera. Terah-Nouven is supposedly male.

Lhea is my classmate. :|

Dusk Moonlight -fin-

Hello, haven't updated in ages...
I wasn't able to update the finished version of this one when it got done. Here it is:


It's Frhaine and Rienzan with their weapons.

Info on Frhaine:
Her primary weapon is her bed ladder. The one shown on the image is a morphed form, which is yet to be named. Her ladder can take up several forms, depending on her thoughts and moods (and will).
While her skin tone is actually brown, I had to change it. For some reason...*shrug*


To be continued tomorrow. If I remember...

Summer's Winter Dream

The Story
Summer (guy) and Winter (girl) are cousins, given that Summer's father and Winter's mother are siblings. Summer's father governs the fire and summer season, while Winter's mother governs the water element and the winter season. The two first met one day when summer is about to end and fall is to come is to come. Winter was moving to the opposite hemisphere and met Summer as he moved to the hemisphere where Winter cam from. They didn't know that they were cousins until Winter was tasked to take over her kingdom's throne where the family gathered.

Sad and heartbroken, the two lovers needed to part and forget their feelings forever. This explains why summer and winter don't come after one another...

The Art
Please remember that the following are my notes to follow.
- Summer's hair symbolizes fire and that grey colored smoke symbolizes air and it is part of his hair.
- Winter's hair comprises of two colors, whose ends fade into Summer's skin color, and signifies the earthen element, her father's governed element. Her first hair color, blue, signifies water, her mom's element.
- I was going to give Summer some tears as well, but it didn't look good on him, so he had to just force himself not to let tears fall...
- The designs are random. :| I had to keep them busy so the background wouldn't look plain.
- Winter was really naked there...or I intended to make her fade, but I forgot that along the way.
- It's digital, although I perceive it as done in traditional media because the sketch was left visible for textures. :)

Work In Progress

Another entry...
They're cousins, too. :)
Oh, wait, the emoticon is wrong... :(

Forbidden Love #1: Cousins and siblings

The Story
The girl's mom and the guy's mom are siblings are from the angel race, while their dad is from the demon race. They're both cousins and siblings, then... The first time their eyes met, they knew that they had feelings for each other. But knowing that they are related in blood, they tried to fight their feelings, but their love was too strong to be handled. Because of that, the girl decided to sacrifice their love through a candle.

The girl, being raised by his dad's family's side, is knowledgeable of sorcery, witchcraft, alchemy, and other magic-related things, so she knows what to do. There's a sacred candle that can only be crafted through the use of ancient alchemy used by her ancestors, but it was said that this candle requires the blessing of heavens, which is quite impossible to obtain, since she has demon blood running through her veins, and demons are not allowed to enter Heaven.

She couldn't ask her cousin/brother/lover to obtain blessings and give it to her because he will be exiled from Heaven. Because of that, she is forced to make a pact with a (selfish) witch named Ebarra. In exchange for the blessing of heavens, the girl must sacrifice her heart. She was hesitant, but she figured that if she can't be with her lover, she can't continue living, either. And so she agreed.

By the night of that day, she asked the guy to meet her in the Myst Temple (or Mystic Shrine...). He arrived. The girl proclaimed her love for him. She sounded so pure and she almost cried, although she had to stop her tears from falling, and hid that with an innocent, pure smile. Right after proclaiming how much she loves him, he lights up the candle and the smoke touched the guy's chest, extracting his love for her. He looked shocked. The candle's light faded softly, and the girl soon falls to the ground. Alarmed, the guy checks on her. The girl confesses about her pact with Ebarra, and those were her last words.

The guy was ultimately heart-broken and the nature sympathized with him-- winds started to rage, the oceans swallowed the land whole, the earth shook, and fires rose. As soon as he stopped crying and makes his resolve, the nature calmed down. He confronted Ebarra. She then tells him that she had feelings for him, too, and that she was depressed that he couldn't give that affection back to her. The candle presented to her wasn't the Candle of Love mentioned in the legends. Ebarra only wanted to end the girl's life by tricking her into getting the heaven's blessings by giving her heart to the witch. She was happy to know that the girl is finally dead, and it is all due to her evil thoughts.

Depressed about his love's death, he lights up the candle and swears his love for her cousin/sister/lover. Right after that, he commits suicide, breaking the rules of Heaven, and now exiled.

However, because of the girl's heart, which contained all her love and her lover's pure non-dying affection for her preserved in their candle, their love for each other will always resonate. Whoever lights the candle will find true love, or if there's a couple, whether in bad or good relationship, their love for each other will forever remain. It is because of the lovers' love swore upon the candle. This candle may not be the candle told by the legends...but it has been the witness of a lovely sacrifice all for true, pure love. And because of that, it proves to be more than the candle told by the legends.


Now onto the art
Please note that the following are my notes on this piece. :)
I can't draw boys. That explains why the guy looks weird... Please excuse my inability...
The girl's hair is based from my hairstyle that day I sketched it, and from some show I was watching...which I can't remember anymore...? And blame my fetish for that chopstick-like hair piece. :3
The guy's clothing was originally supposed to be white... Also, he was the one who I planned on giving demon wings, not the girl. :/ But the plans changed when I sketched angel wings on him, unconsciously thinking...
The girl's face was hard to do...since it was side-view. So was the guy's...
The guy's hair was designed to be spiky like Senel Coolidge's hair, but I FAILED, lol
The smoke was planned while I'm doing it in Photoshop. It seemed cool... And I love smudging...
The guy's clothing looks ripped...because the lines told me to make them that way. :| (You gotta communicate with the lines sometimes, too, you know...)
I had to see how a lit candle looks like when it's in the dark, that's why I had a collection of candles in my Favorites :3

dA description:
Whatever. I mean, I AM satisfied with the results--it looks realistic, so yeah. Whatever. I don't even care that the heads are too large or that their bodies don't curve to the right direction. Keep this in mind when you critique [,] I hate explaining everything to you.

Entry for :devemmil:'s contest, with the theme "Forbidden Love". I have other entries that I'm working on, but this one was really fun to work on. And please ignore the smokes, if I were you. :3

And don't critique/ remind me that the guy only shows one wing-- He had two wings before, but I disabled the lineart layer and yadda yadda :blahblah: and so now, he's a one-winged angel. I hope the judges understand... His wings weren't completed, either, since the sketchpad wasn't large enough, and besides, the scanner couldn't take the whole sketch itself, so why would I want something bigger than the sketchpad size...?

Story?

It's forbidden love because they're cousins :|. Don't give me that look now.

The girl's mom and the guy's mom are siblings from the angel race, while the girl's dad is from the demon race. Oh hey, they're not just cousins, btw... Because the girl's dad and the guy's dad are one. :o *shock* Yes, anything can happen when the races differ. (It happened in other stories, so why not here, ne?)

-____- might update later on my blog...or something.


Before I forget, it's not exactly forbidden because of their races. I just don't believe that demon and angel love is forbidden...seriously. I think it's actually romantic. :3

*dodges all your sticks and stones that you throw because you don't believe the same thing, dammit*

Critique now, okay? I won't let you do it again after I edit this. :D

[EDIT] Oh man, you hate it when I like my stuff...

Rienzan: Prince of the Night

First plan: Fade the pants with bright, bright, yellowish fade color on the bottom of pants.
---On the process, smokes started to form on the image itself, so I had to do it. The first plan was canceled.

First of all, I had audiences behind me, namely my two male neighbors at the age of my younger brother. Louie (smart 6th grader, this year he's entering 1st year high) was on amazed-state, so I had to continue. It made me feel appreciated, yup. :D

I actually thought that I could fix everything up as long as I know PS...but I was wrong. THE STUPID TUTORIALS ON DA DON"T WORK!!!1!!!!!!!!11111!! :shakefist:

Well let's go explain my concept on him. He looked so awesome on the sketch... Wanna see?
There goes the lovely sketch...*sentimental* Of course, my dad's stupid office scanner was so stupid that it couldn't pick up the details on the drawing, BUT PICKED UP THE SKETCH PAD'S TEXTURE! :RAGE!!!:
This started out as a little sketch on his face. I had an image of his face with that pose on my mind... I started with his eyes. His eyes... They aren't supposed to look like that, but my hand drew on its own. That's how it really happened...everything is still so clear in my head up to now.
Days have passed, and eventually, I remembered about Drawing-Passion's bishie contest. I wasn't so busy last, last, last night, so I worked on this. I work at night since I get many ideas during that time. WEIRD, I know. I had to redraw his jacket, using photo references on the net, because I'm not exactly familiar with it!
On the drawing process, I first drew the right wing using the design on the left wing (the smaller one). Since I go sentimental over my designs, I just can't erase the first wing design...so I left the left wing alone. :/ Then, I felt that the right wing was too large and so empty, so I added a blade. On the coloring process, I thought of it as a seal.

So here goes:
The wings: I thought of them as symbolic for Rienzan's personality and character. Rienzan isn't a person with a single soul inside a single body; he has an alter ego, who is quite different from him. Rienzan with the outer appearance of a 16-year-old guy is silent, mysterious, way-too-kind, softhearted, compassionate, and...humble.
On the other hand, the other Rienzan who looks like a...21-year-old guy, is also silent, but he's the one who always reminds the other Rienzan that he's a demon and there's no place in his heart for compassion and kindness. When there's a need for Rienzan to kill, it's the 21-year-old-looking ego who takes over him. This other ego has been kept a secret to most people, too, especially to Frhaine.

Now, the wings: the larger wing belongs to the 21-year-old-looking ego. DUUUUUHHH. It has some holes, many of them, but I can't put much detail since I suck...:<
The wings are really meant to be not shaded equally. Why? Because it's supposed to be symbolic! Lol. It has to be different from the other without changing hues/color, so I decided to just change the gradient positioning.
Both wings can serve as defense. But if there's a need for it, the wings can slice up an enemy. So try to keep your distance from him as possible.

The Background: I already had in mind that the bg should be dark and I'd use gradient to fill it. As I drew the wings and added designs, there had been an image forming at the corner of my eye that eventually turned out to be the design/symbol beside him. It has no meaning at all; just something to keep the background busy. :D

The face/skin color choice: It's pale. I realize that. I have to admit, I have no proper eye for the proper skin tone. But I figured that since his race is not human, he can have any skin I want him to have. He's my OC after all... If he were human, I would probably raid joodlez's gallery and eyedrop the skin, but I never do that. I find it illegal or something. :/

The belt strap: Shut up, I find it cool that he has that thing hanging on his head. It's cool. It's COOL. It's COOOOOL!!!! Well basically, if you'd look at my previous Rienzan designs through my dA gallery, you will see that strap, too. I see things when I draw, that's why he has it. When lines cross or create new lines on their own, that's how my OCs become complete. It's not only in my thoughts. That's one of my admirable traits to consider. And I love the fact that I am able to communicate with my lines.

The blade on the wing: I've decided that it's a seal. Rienzan's true powers are too much for him to handle, so it had to be sealed. He IS the Prince of Darkness/Hell/Night, y'know. Heck, if it weren't for the nice 16-year-old ego, the current king would've been dead for ages now, and Rienzan would be ruling over the Underworld.
The three circular ornaments...maybe they could be beads...:shrug: I just had to add designs so I added them. I know; LAME.

The jacket: I had a sketch little character named Enzo (hence, Rienzan's nickname) who wore that jacket. I planned to color it with purple and dark yellow/orange/light red, but it never got scanned because I lost it. :/ My "best friend" (the only closest friend I had in 2nd year anyway) Lovely said he's cute because his jacket was hip-hop, and while designing Rienzan, I had that thought in mind. The original Enzo looked bubblier, though...like Carlh. You haven't seen him yet. Go to hell.

I had a painful experience coloring his jacket... Please don't kill me...

The pants: I can't draw male legs, so he can't wear shorts. :p And he's mysterious, so it fits, right? Or I may be wrong... WHO CARES!? He's mah OC and mah fiancé, so walang kukontra!
I was supposed to just let him fade in the background, but the background is evil, so I had to lay off the ordinary gradients and added smokes. :p

I had a painful experience coloring his pants, too, so don't stab me on your screens, plz.

I'm no professional anyway. :shrug:

Ohhh, while I was working on his face, I could hardly concentrate! I mean...I do have feelings, even though he's just an OC... I take things too seriously... Like, Omigosh, he's looking at me! :faint: lol. I'm like that. :lol:


I honestly thought that he would get more faves that Merfairy... But I hate my watchers now. They can't appreciate my love for my own... Life is just cruel. Or maybe it's just the people who are the real cruel ones. *sob sob*
Whatever! ^D^ I only care for those who do like me, so I'll just ignore those who ignore me, too, right?

Peace out~

Done?

There, I dunno if it's considered done now...
Thanks so much to Tefee-stock and TimeWizardStock for letting me post their lovely stock images. :)

Honestly, I thought at first that this will earn more faves than the Merfairy...:sigh:
I love this pic, seriously, but it seems that this isn't what my watchers want... Oh well. :shrug: There were people who appreciated it, though. :) And I thank them so much.

Long Time No Post, ah...

I'm so sorry for abandoning you for some weeks, my dearest blog! This site didn't allow me to post my previous SDL images, so I got mad.
Anyway, here's the postcard that Raei sent to Ri-chan when the girls went on a vacation, while he's training...somewhere. At least that my little story for this...though that's not the original one. The original story is that the other girls are included, but since I got lazy, I didn't bother...

About this pic:
I finally accepted the use of greyscale-ing first to make it look kinda 3D. The first plan, however, was to make this look anime! Heck, I just have no talent at all...:sigh:

I still hate Raei... I loved to draw her on my first OC designing days, but now, because she was based from a classmate of mine, I don't like her anymore. :\

Whatever. I think her legs are cute somehow...:o And I think I gave enough justice on her hair. *wink wink*

Story:
Hey, Risan! You're sooo missing the fun here! (And the girls, too *giggle*)
This was shot by Deina. Isn't she awesome with views? She wanted a different angle, but we got disturbed so she lost her patience. It came out good anyway, right? I hope you're fine there. Take care of yourself and just do your best! X3
Lots of love, hugs and kisses! Mwah!

Afterwards, Risan flipped the postcard and sees the picture. And guess what.



NOSE BLEED GALORE!!!!!!

Oh, Risan...

Told ya she doesn't look hydrocephalus-ed on the normal view...:3

Back to Work

[EDIT] Images in low-res are now available. Scroll down.

I'm working on my SDL entry now, don't worry. :D

Let's see if I manage to get a pic of it...
I'll describe:
Let's call her Nightslinger for now. She wields a double-bladed scythe with many spikes on it, and on its end, it's kinda...lightning-shaped. She has another weapon that she holds on her left hand. It's a curved blade and when she makes slashes, that's how she makes her cut. Ugh, it's hard to explain...

It took me days to finish and get satisfied with her design. I just got finished today. I based her hair on Chloe's first concept art, where she looks so sleek and aztig. :D

I love her shoes. They're fun to design. She has many rings on her design, too.

Background: She suffered schizophrenia as a kid. She was traumatized to see gore from childhood. She had been raised to kill others, eventually.

The last question wasn't exciting... :<

Work, Work, Work! Just give me a tablet already!

I should be reviewing for my Finals now...but no. I'm gonna work on my other scanned works. I really loved the one I did for Molly; I find it rather cute.:3 Diz-sama wants to see it soon, but I always fail on my schedules...I get too preoccupied all the time...I want a tableeeeet.

Here's a preview :3

It's under a Filter: Sketch> Note Paper
The Sketch filter is now officially my fave filter. :nod::nod:
I have to maintain the low resolution for now, okay? But it's for Molly. :3 I love you, Molly!!!

Background for charas EDIT

Not much of a background...but!

Second: "Nen". O.O -lol, wut?
She addresses herself as Nen, and first presented herself as a weakened girl to get Reniel train her. :o Quite decieving in her own ways...

So now this raises a question: Which one is the friend, and which is the foe?

And...why do I see a yuri pairing here!?!??! :faint:

Background story of Rhapsody Feirengard: A girl with lost memories...
Rhapsody was "adopted: by Reniel Feirengard after realizing that she had *amnesia. Reniel named her Rhapsody since he thinks she reminds him of his younger sister who was missing. Rhapsody is a Weapon Cast, a multi-weapon. Weapon Cast is also called "Re'al". As a Re'al, she can summon every weapon she needs to use, but it takes up much of her energy and mana upon low level. She's not fond of using long-ranged weapons like bows, guns, etc...but she's interested with them, although she really can't use them well because of her low aim. Despite that, she can use her wings to fly up to shoot a target from above, only if she uses a bow-like attack, which uses a rod as the bow and celestial element-imbued arrows.
Rhapsody gets annoyed whenever Reniel orders her around, but she gets extremely jealous when someone gets "too close" with Reniel, such as Kathura.
She likes trying out and exploring new languages. :3 Also, she likes to whine. A lot.
*spoiler alert! She's the amnesiatic Frhaine!*

Background for Kathura: A young warrior girl who happens to be a princess from another country, but ran away before getting engaged.
Kathura is a 14-year-old (brat) *princess who ran away from her engagement party. She doesn't like being patronized, and she hated her fiance, and due to her parents' pushy-ness and greed, they tracked her down.
In the middle of the chase, she bumps into Reniel, a clan master. She used him to escape and thought she could get away with it, but just as then, Reniel immediately knocked out Kathura's pursuers and followed her. She got cornered by Reniel, and to escape from him, she tries to seduce him, but fails. :3 (Reniel hates girls...)
Being flirty, she wears clothes not suitable for young teens, and Rhapsody constantly reminds her that.

Please take note that even though Kathura is a princess of another country, she still belongs to a race from a "tribe" called Lanchsetter.

That's all for now. It's almost 3 PM!!! I gotta sleep. Nyte!

Finished at last...=.= + Explanations about your votes

My Progress:
First one: Dodges


I had a conversation with Diz-sama, and I really agree with him; black really DOES reflect the characters better, so I switched to this:


Honestly, why didn't you think that dark people appear whiter when they're against something black, such as this bg for example?

You remember that Laazulla (or Rhapsody now)had a pole on her right hand, right? Well I can't draw the weapon on the computer, so (buy me a tablet! lolx jk)I figured that since she doesn't literally own a certain weapon, I don't have to draw her weapon then. :3


Explanation about your votes:
You know, guys, your votes just TIED, both for names of Laazulla and Nen, so I don't know which one to pick...so I settled with my own decision, since if I picked one of those votes, some of you might feel bad. I don't tolerate favoritism on votes (not all the time, I mean).

So I had to settle it. I hope you don't feel bad...:worry:

I forgot what else to say. I might come back tomorrow...

Failure...

It's bad, huh?
:< I wish our computer never needed to get reformatted...:<

Look at the older post, please

:cries: I really wanna cut my wrist now...
Okay fine, no time for rants, but who wouldn't rant if your computer always fails you in every single fu**in' time, ya???!!?

So yeah...if you look at the older post, you'll see my progress. But I've been tehre already, and I was done with renovating Laazulla (or Chill or whatever, since your votes tied T_T), and I was working on Nen (and again, whatever...) but the computer broke down and failed me and so my entry is dead...:cries:

I'm spending my 1-hour limit on my comp. teacher's internet cafe.

I HATE Realism now, more than ever

Why? Just look at this!


T_T I want to practice anime art... T_T

Should I still continue? I mean...it feels so hopeless now...

Background

Choose... See my latest deviation for more info.

Lights Up!

Update! I got the inked version scanned! :lol:
I realized how addicted to dodges I am...more than I thought I was. :p
Here they are!























Here's a close-up on the detail I loved. =P I like shines...


Well, yeah, I'm a dodgaholic...
















Some MOAWR shots. :D











































This time, let's go to Nen. :lol:

The BG of wings are cute to me. =p


:O sorry, Nen, you're not exactly the main chara here in the first place...

New Characters: UPDATE

Dammit, I really, really wanna refer to Laazulla as Xene now... I see the resemblance too muchie...:(
BTW, it's read as [LAH-zu-la], in case you pronounce is as [LAH-ah-zoo-lah}, okies now?
Well it's not my fault if my hair looks good on one side or another...it does weird things, so she came out like that, and came out looking like Xene!!! :faint:

I know I had a real name for Nen, but I can't find in anywhere on my mind now...:( I wish I was Internet and store 10 MB+++++++++ memories for one day, noe?

So SUGGEST A NAME NOW!!!

I have these (for Laazulla) on my mind:
Varuna
Chill (?! wow)
Ixion
Rhapsody
Bliss
Flight
Feather

For Nen:
Azura
Azure
Fayne
Metruschka?! :faint:
Kathura


BUT PLEASE SUGGEST A NAME, if I have to beg you then I would, just suggest a name!!


PREVIEWS!!
Before I forget, here are some preview pics on my work on them.

Still working on Laazulla...she's too detailed, but I'm really excited to color her. Having hard time on choosing palette/tones for her, I don't know if I'd want to continue, but I WILL. :P Or at least I'll try extending my patience on this. ;P

Keep an eye on this!
Detail on the hair accessories. Told ya she looks expensive. :D Peacock feathers are so hard to do...=.=zzzz




I like weird designs...:lol:


You don't make sense at all...

Sorry if I sound so cool of myself here, guys... I feel stupid just reading these. Really, sorry, guys. I just wanna love these two right now.

New Characters On Board!

I will make more exposure*coughfloodcough* for my new characters. :)

First: Laazulla Feirengard. Spoiler alert! She is the amnesiatic Frhaine. O.O Reniel "adopted" her. That's all for now. Enough spoilers. You don't like getting spoiled, do you? Laazulla looks...expensive. (No, not rich. I'm not dumb, okei???)


Second: "Nen". A young warrior girl who happens to be a princess from another country, but ran away before getting engaged. O.O -lol, wut?
She addresses herself as Nen, and first presented herself as a weakened girl to get Reniel train her. :o Quite decieving in her own ways...

So now this raises a question: Which one is the friend, and which is the foe?

And...why do I see a yuri pairing here!?!??! :faint:

Working for the Contest

I'm working on this li'l baby here. Notice her? Yeah, she's the one I've been pixellizing before, but I lost interest since that Valentine accident...

As you all know by now, I joined a contest. It's clayscence's contest
and there are really good prizes, so I wanna win now, probably because I lost my self-esteem on the previous contest that I joined before that didn't even judge it correctly. T_T Enough about that.

Anyway, you can see that I'm not completely done yet with this thing... I can't get the proper shadings for the nose! :jawdrop: I need some help, gaizz!!! Xo

Besides, I don't know how to do the weapons well... Then the ear...ears aren't my thing...:(

But I love the eyes here, though I was aiming for a silver theme, both for the hair and eyes. Who doesn't love silver, ya knoe?

WAIT!!! Don't call her Judy Ann Santos, okeii?!??!?
She's Frhaine Anderville, and MY anime side. T_T stfu. I've been dreaming to be an anime, so, you know, I could make anime expressions without looking dumb. And, come on, guys, my hair does weird things! So don't wonder why it's like that...messy...

Blank

Now I own Photoshop CS3.
I'm still remorsing over the loss of my lovely Valentine Wallpaper... That's the work that I was the most proudest of... I never really do such good lightings like on that. :( Do you know how it feels to lose something you worked hard on?

Yeah, I think this blog is becoming my main rant site ever since I lost it... Well no one really pays attention here. From now on, I'll save everything I do on my email. T_T

My cousin wouldn't chat with me anymore...

That aside, our 4th monthly exams are tomorrow. I should be reviewing now, but I just can't get over my art...:(

I Died

So that's probably not a literal title for this. T_T But seriously, I think I did die for three days... I suffered three days without the computer. Isn't that enough to call myself dead for three days?
Sorry if I wasn't able to keep up with my Valentine animation... See, this is how it goes.

Tuesday: we watched Passion of the Christ, it was moving. I wanted to express my ideas on my blog. I got home. I went in front of the computer, then my idioic brother told me that the computer doesn't work AGAIN (fu**s***thisb****edupcomputer*)! I tried rescuing it, but later on it hangs up, and it wouldn't let me configure the settings!!!! :X Before that, my idiotic brother told me that while he was using the computer, it hung up, then when he restarted it, it acted weird and was saying "Boot from disk" or something like that, just like what happens to our very previous computer.I thought my dad could fix it, but when I found out that he can't, I knew I was doomed. That night, mom decided that she'd take the CPU to her brother, my uncle (Tito Bong) because he can fix things. =P

Wednesday: my brother said that my mom told him that the CPU is repaired, but there are still no applications/programs installed, so my aunt (Diz's mom) has to bring the installer CD (DVD format, I think...) of Granado Espada, and Diz's Photoshop CS2. I thought I'm gonna be happy after this day... My uncle said he couldn't continue repairing the computer because the line was long (a long line of whatever he's falling in line for T_T)
Thursday: Valentine's Day. I was supposed to be happy, not only because we were allowed to wear casual clothes (but with color coordination of pink/red/white), but also because I was expecting that I'd get the CPU back this day. BUT NO!!!!And I should let you know that I cried on that day! Also, I think I lost my sanity completely...as in I was laughing like crazy, then I start crying again, then...ugh, it's just crazy. On top of that, my computer teacher asked me to work on a project, since I know how to use Photoshop. But how could I?!??! First, WE DON'T HAVE THE COMPUTER AND THE MOTHERf***in'BOARD BLEW UP AND yesterday EVERYTHING HAD TO BE REFORMATTED!!!!!!!!!! Then I have no idea on HOW TO MAKE A MAHONRIAN LOGO!!!!!!! :X :X :X I have to ask my dad to do it. My teacher wants it to look 3D-fied. T_T Sure I could handle 3d-fying stuff if I wanted to, but how am I supposed to create the shapes?! I only color on Photoshop! Does that mean that I have to do the shapes MANUALLY!??!?!

So that means I couldn't possibly keep up with my Valentines project... It's so sad, you know. I was really looking forward to giving you a surprise... You could never see anyhting animated in my gallery, and that Dreamworld-Frhaine icon is not an animation I consider.

Friday: I stopped expecting that I'd still get the computer, after what happened to me yesterday. My brother informed me that the CPU is now repaired. But I had to attend the Talent's Night (which barely had much talented contestants 'tch), because attendance there was equal to 20 items quiz in Math. Oh, wait! I have to tell you this! I got 30/30 (perfect score!!!) on Geometry that Friday, too!!!! And I didn't copy on my classmates, either!!!! Well, we had the problems solved on Thursday, but it seems that my classmates don't know how ot follow instructions, and since I know the answers of yesterday's problem and I understood it, everything was polished :D (although I wasn't completely sure of where to place "D" on that problem, but heck I got it right!)
So night came, and when I got home (my brother went home earlier) my parents and Patrick (brother) were in front of the computer, I think they were installing Granado Espada. Mom said that the Photoshop was looking for the serial number. We had it, but it was asking us to purchase the product! When we tried to purchase it, I had to create an Adobe account, which did nothing to save my CS2! Up to the previous minutes, I was trying to get my CS2 activated, but it didn't work. T_T So I found out that CS2 is considered an old version, even though the CS3 and CS2 aren't such big leaps over another. T__T

So up to now, people, I sitll can't work on my Valentines project. I'm really sorry...
I don't know if I should continue on that contest, too. :worry: I mean...I have to redo everything. I have the base colors, but the colors I have in my previous Photoshop is lost forever, dudes... So I have to suffer massive eyedropping(s) and repeat burns, dodges, and smudges on my OC art. :(

All in all, I could spell my weekend as D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. But at least I learned and reflected a lot on Passion of the Christ...


(I'll try deleting this upsetting entry later on. Don't worry now.
I apologize for the cusses and bad stuff. :( Tell me if it upsets you mostly.)

Black Valentines

Black Valentines was my theme when I planned this. While this was on my mind, I told myself that "I'd animate this, then I'd get megatons of :+fav:s!!! :evillaugh:", that was my planned author's comment there...
But after coloring the hair, when it seemed 3D to me, I thought, "man, this would be hard...some rough road to pass..." etc.

First problem: Rose. I wasted 3 f'in hours just too look for a rose that would fir the perspective of my drawing. :| Damn, I had to settle on a rose that I had to rotate, then Burn (to make it black and achieve the precious tones) and then put filter effects (dry brush)!
Second, I was aiming for a more realistic forward but I failed again... 'Di kaya ng kapasidad ko! XD!

Well, at first, that wasn't the dilemma, and I was even confident that I'd manage to get through animation easier, but THEN I remembered that I also had a shadow to put while planning this! So how would I make the shadows MANUALLY?! I had no idea how to put shadows some other way around, so I do my shadows manually (yes, no Filter effects or whatsoever.) So when I figured that the soft round brush was too weak and blurred, I knew I was on a tight spot. I then remembered about Drop Shadow effects, but when I attempted to do it, I had some troubles. The Drop Shadow settings don't include "dragging the shadow to where I want it to go" unlike in CorelDraw. :( So yeah, I spent dead 3 days on this.

And you know what? I get 6 faves, and more than 20++ downloads!!!!! X( I'm not happy! It's not fair! What if I don't get credit?! That's every artist's fear; not getting credit!!!

Anyways, happy Valentines to y'all. May you have brighter Vdays. :)

Get a life, Frhaine.
