My ink nib is broken.

MY INK NIB IS BROKEN.

And I don't mean bent a little, I mean snapped into three pieces.

a;lsfja;lsfja you guys, there are two different pieces I'm supposed to be inking (I am horribly behind because I got busy, but still) and I don't know if there is a place around here that sells nibs or if I could afford one if there was ( Read more... )

I've got a folio of writing exercises due tomorrow afternoon, and since we have the most singularly unhelpful lecturer none of us have any idea what that entails. 'Folio of writing exercises' is the entirety of our instruction. So anyway, I spent this evening typing up five pieces of varying lengths, after a week of drawing - and one frantic night ( Read more... )

This is sadly exciting. I haven't done a proper picture that was more than half-hearted doodling in many, many months, and then I was watching The Secret of Kells again and decided to take a stab at something heavily stylised. (It's something I have to work on.) So here, have Beowulf fighting sea monsters off the coast of Finland!

I didn't quite expect such a response to Cherub, so blanket thanks to everyone who commented! Though it was a grind, I really loved doing a comic, and as soon as I can look at my bottle of India ink without my hand instinctively cramping, I'll do another.

Tomorrow, I'm going to see Under The Mountain, because it's a ridiculous-looking adaptation ( Read more... )

I am posting this from my living room, while watching Star Trek. How? I GOT MY LAPTOP, BITCHES.

It's so pretty and shiny and small! It's an Eee PC, white, barely more than a kilo and with a 10-inch screen. If it was any smaller I could carry it in my pocket. And it runs on Windows 7, which is pretty good so far! I am calling it Harvey ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm quite poor and worried about my parents (who are still stuck in Abu Dhabi while the universtiy in Oman dicks around with paperwork), but I have been cheered up by a number of awesome things this week. Mostly fictional things, but that is, alas, how I roll ( Read more... )

I am having One Of Those Days where I cannot make my brain form coherent sentences that I may put into the paper that is imminently due, and I'm really quite scared that if I graduate it will be with a terrible mark, and I won't be allowed to rectify that by doing an honours degree, and even if I do, my qualifications will not actually get me hired ( Read more... )

Aaand on less smug news:

LJ, I have a dilemma. Having a job has given me a little disposable income, which I really should save for my Christmas holidays or at least Christmas presents (and believe me, I'm working on that), and I am trying valiantly not to blow on naughty things. However. There is this book. It is a gigantic, hardcover, beautiful ( Read more... )
