Watchers

  • Mood: I Have To Pee
  • Listening to: The Priests, Enya, and Play! A Video Game Symphony
  • Reading: Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade, Cymbeline
  • Watching: Captain America, Band of Brothers
  • Playing: Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
  • Eating: Nothing at the moment,
  • Drinking: Way too much water.
Okay, so here's the first scoop of the year: I'm back, people! I finally found my tablet, so I should hopefully be submitting some more artwork and such sometime soon, between cleaning up my room and working.

So, for anyone who's curious about what's new...
-I now work 4-5 mornings a week at my church's Parents' Day Out program, 5 hours a day.
-I sometimes work evenings at said church's Early Childhood Center, 3 hours an evening.
-I'm still trying to play through Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Batman: Arkham City, and Dissidia 012 [duodecim], and replaying Assassin's Creed, ACII, and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, just for the heck of it.
-Reading Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade by Oliver Bowden, and Cymbeline by William Shakespeare, and a book of Celtic poetry called The Book of Celtic Verse, edited by John Matthews. Hoping to pick up the Night Angel trilogy again some time soon, as well as Assassin's Creed: Revelations (the novel).
-I've started reading the Captain America comics. Currently, I like Ultimate Cap better than mainstream Cap. Ultimate Cap's more hardcore.
-I'm researching various colleges to find out which would be the best fit for me. I'm looking for colleges with good language programs, since I'm interested in becoming a translator/interpretor.
-I've officially learned to play the ocarina WELL.

And here's the stuff that HASN'T changed...
-Still single.
-Still a nerd.
-Still a gamer.
-Still a cellist and ocarina player.
-Still working at daycare centers for my money.
-I still write, read, and draw as much as is humanly possible.
-I still have a royally f***ed up sleep schedule, for which I often suffer.

My goals for 2012:
-Apply to and be accepted by a college.
-Start attending said college.
-Upload more artwork and fanfiction/original fiction when possible.
-Lose about 20 pounds by the time August rolls around.
-Improve flexibility, agility, speed, endurance, and strength.
-Get myself on a regular sleep schedule.
-Clean up my room.
-Keep my room clean after cleaning it.
-Finish at least three of my Assassin's Creed, Captain America, and Naruto fanfictions.

I think that's all. If I think of anything else, I may or may not post it, depending on whether or not I remember to do so.

Hope everyone's having a good year, so far!

Hey, hate to troll your page, but I wanted your opinion on a piece... lol.

Don't worry about "trolling my page". I totally understand. And I'm really sorry I still haven't posted that piece... It's still sitting on my hard-drive, waiting to be finished... I just have to locate where I put my tablet while I was reorganizing my room, again... ^^; It's somewhere in there... If you'd like, I can send you a concept picture in the meanwhile. :)

As to the pic you asked my opinion of: It's pretty epic! I love their expressions (especially Ezio's), and the way she's just like, "You wish, bello."

Read through the clip at the bottom afterward, and I was like, "Ha! Ezio got burned!" I loved your description of the dance, too.

The only thing I didn't really like was the background, but that's really just because it seemed a little disconnected from Ezio and Merona. (That IS still Merona, right? Or did Ezio move on to another conquest, the devil?) Maybe next time, don't show the place where you stopped drawing them- just make them run off the bottom of the pic or something. That way, even if the background doesn't have the same art style as the subject, it'll all still seem a bit more incorporated, if that's the right word.

...Is it strange that my favorite part of this pic is actually their hair? (Or that I'm jealous that Ezio's hair is prettier than mine is, lol?)

Good to hear from you again!

IDR what piece we're talking about? Lmfao. After finishing high school, a semester of college, moving out, moving again, two new jobs, etc. I've lost all track. And my hard drive just bit the dust too, so it's with an electronics company

Lol, the BG is because I am extremely LAZY, and I prefer to just put in a pic than put effort into creating a BG, I thought about doing another with just rampant colors but even that took WAY more effort than slapping a pic in the back. But it WAS a pic of the Tudors, which is set like ten years after Brotherhood ends, same-ish period counts for something right?

That's exactly what I was going for, yay! Yeah, that's Merona. He doesn't get many other conquests after they actually get involved. But then they get 'separated' and it's back to square one. Poor guy just can't get a break. Like, I don't want her to seem holier-than-thou the way most AC OC's are, just to be contrary to being completely smitten with him like the cannon characters (that or they're completely foul-mouthed, whores, or both. Cough, cough, Caterina, cough.) She's just preoccupied with the whole secret organization trying to exterminate her lineage an all. Interested, but not smitten. Playful, without needing to cuss or flash her lady parts to be 'cool.' I hate the women of the AC franchise. I can't say I know many females in video games short of Lara Croft who are worth half a crap. If the main character is male, the females are filler. Rule of thumb. DMC is the worst.

I thought about that once. I was playing through, and he said something similar to that, and all I could think was. Men are so stupid, cause women totally wanna be just a name on a list. Even at the top that list. Women want to BE the list. Dumbass.

You too! Lol, it took me a while to get into actually DOING things on this site, but now I'm way into it.

Yeah, he came out a little too pretty by the end, and ended up not looking as much himself as I wanted, because I have to draw normal noses first and then scope out everything a little better to make Ezio look like Ezio. Thank god for Merona, cause she can look however I want her to and no one can say anything. He, was muchhh trickier. Baha.

The piece I'm referring to is the prize piece from the February 2011 (2010?) contest. You sent me a fragment of your story and asked me "what could you make of this?" So I started it and never really finished, and then we totally cleaned out my room, so I can't find ANYTHING right now... It took me 2 hours just to find my tablet itself, and even now, I only have the mouse to it, not the pen (which is what I need- my mouse art is CRAP). So I get to go through my entire room again tomorrow (today?) and try to find the pen tool before it gets lost/broken. Ergh.

I also know exactly what you mean about the BG thing. I've used premade BGs more than once (Birds on a Wire being one such piece). I guess what I was trying to say is that you could, perhaps, apply a filter to the BG to give it an ink outline, or something to make it look a little more like the style you're using. And if you don't like that idea, you could also always simply crop the bottom edge of the picture so that it looks a little more like a background they're sunk into. At the moment, it looks a little like one of those crazy picture frames... you know what I mean? Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look BAD... It just doesn't look RIGHT, though. Sorry, don't mean to be harsh or anything... It's literally 8 minutes until 4 a.m. here, so I'm a little out of it.

And wow, your description of AC's OCs actually matches at least one of my characters. I knew she was something of a Mary-Sue, but wow... Now that I examine her character and abilities, it's like "OMG, she's like, UBER-Sue." Ick... I might ask for a little help with her character, if it's at all possible. ^^;

Don't worry about Ezio, BTW. He's not TOO pretty. I just have hair envy, LOL! I envy Merona's, too.

Oh, and quick question: where are you going to college at? Just curious- don't answer if you don't feel comfortable. :)

I just re-read your signature, and all I could think of was Tangled.

"Here comes the smoulder..." BASH! haha.

Exactly! That's where I got it from... in addition to Pokemon. It was something one of my friends and I were goofing off with while watching Tangled and Dragonball Z... And then I came up with the sig, and just had to put it in... I'm glad you like it. :)
