Hahah you may absolutely add me. I'll add you right back! Your bbb piece made me smile.
I can't really take credit for the Frankelstilskin idea (or the Thorns, or the Pea Episode, or the Second To Last Afternoon, or the Whole Garden Whole Storm, or... whatever else I'm forgetting.), since those were the author's concepts, but yeah. I'm not so great at doing proper fan art, like, "Draw this scene with these dudes doing this" kind of deal (bbb was HARD), but I loooove just dicking around with pre-existing ideas and seeing where it goes. And hey- I can't sit still long enough for digital media stuff to save my life. I think holding a pencil/brush is probably the one thing in my life I've ever found that keeps me sitting still for more than ten minutes at a time, but if you want me to do anything involving color? ...Yeahno.
My McQueen influences should be attributed to aquidis, my lovely roommate who sat me down and showed me a bunch of his old collection shows. And now all I ever do is draw his female pieces on dudes. Cravats, however. I WILL BRING THEM BACK IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO. CRAVATS ARE HIP, CRAVATS ARE COOL. ...ahem.
Oh, nono, I just wanted to make sure it was like, DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER YES. I figured you knew.
And yeah, I guess it almost defeats the point of it being based on real people, but I tend to prefer when the author really makes it their own, rather than adhering to canon or trying to work in really solid character traits or whatever. Then I start to remember I'm reading rpf and then I start to get all uncomfortable, and it usually ends in a day spent hiding under the covers watching Disney movies until my brain atrophies. ...It's a routine.
I don't think it's the idea of the color that gets me. I think it's like, whenever I try to use it for my own stuff, it looks cheap and garish. And then I lose patience before I can get it to start working. I'm not kidding, I seriously have zero attention span for anything that isn't holding a pencil. But I know what you mean, too, like. You're trying to get some anatomical detail or whatever to work, and it's just barely scraping by, and then you have to color it. And all of a sudden it's REALLY OBVIOUS that you're bs'ing it. At least, that's my experience. Which tends to be where I go AAAAAAAGHGHGHFUCKIT and we're right back where we started with Disney musical-enabled avoidance.
(the Unicorn Warrior pt2 was actually drawn for Gerard Way. Because my friends are a bunch of pushers. I just... haven't sent it to his creeper mailbox where he wants the pictures of Mikey he asked for sent. And I was trying to color it and it wasn't working and I had this huge meltdown partially on LJ and I haven't really thought of it since. I should... maybe send it. Ngh.)
CRAVATS ARE GO. Yeah, I have one that I make out of this white silk men's scarf I got in this little vintage shop hole in the wall I'm painfully addicted to. I pin it with this huge, heavy stainless steel coat of arms pin I got at the same time, and it's generally pretty badass. I wore it to a Decemberists show with this electric blue button-down, it was great. Cravats are so overlooked. SIGH.
Yay new Twitter people yes! I found you through Speep, so. I figured you wouldn't mind. I mostly post nonsense and like, weirdo stream of consciousness rambling. Nothing terribly interesting. And also like, every time I encounter a spider. D:<
lol don't worry about late-night incoherency. I keep weird hours and get all nuts and end up spamming people with blathering nonsense. It's a miracle I have friends.
DUDE! YES! I have read HAV but I haven't read that particular one, so. OH MY GOD, IT'S PERFECT. And I doubt mine is really like the real thing. It's just really good at faking it.
Ohman, favorite Disney movie. Lessee... I think my default tends to be Little Mermaid? But Aladdin tends to compete pretty hard. Mostly because of this. But. Also Lion King, Hunchback, Beauty And The Beast... Yeah. I've really never outgrown that stage. And fuck yes, I have most of all three High School Musical soundtracks memorized and I'm not ashamed to admit it. What else are you supposed to sing loudly while driving through small towns? Do you have a favorite?
Ngh, as far as keeping up goes... Yeah, most of my Panic! news I get fed to me through friends, which is how I like it. It's more fun that way, especially when someone is all flaily about it or whatever, it makes me feel less like a creeper. I tend to mostly just keep up on actualfax music press, so like. Spin and AP and MTV Newsroom online or whatever, mostly just because I'm obsessed with music like some people are obsessed with following the stock market or some shit. I really love when musicians can articulate and express themselves successfully through press and interviews.
Yeah, I gotta send it. I will, I just gotta get off my ass and get people to tell me what the PO box is, since I'm not the one who looks this shit up. And I do appreciate the peer pressure. It helps. ♥
Ohman, my shift partner at work is kind of obsessed with Starcraft 2. I haven't played since the first one, like. When I was 11 or whatever, briefly, but it's funny as shit to watch him freaking out about all the major tournament stuff going on.
Your spiders and your EVERYTHING BAD, ANGRY AND POISONOUS are bigger than ours. I mean holy shit, dude. No offense, but I have no desire to go over there and get eaten by the first mad, hairy/scaly, venomous death monster whose path I wander across. And I'm from Hawaii, our shit ain't small there, either. I'm just gonna happily move back to Chicago where everything cold-blooded and insecty dies in October, if it can even exist at all with all that concrete everywhere. ...And then I'll swim in the lake and grow an extra arm or some shit, you watch.
I think I've probably seen Little Mermaid more than any other movie in existence. Then one day they video rental place didn't have it, so my dad got some other movie version, which turned out to follow the original Hans Christien Anderson version pretty much to the letter. I spent about five minutes being totally traumatized before deciding it was the most AMAZING and MOVING and OMG TRAGICALLY WONDERFUL thing I had ever encountered in all my seven years, and it's basically only spiraled from there. Only, now I prefer it if it's told with two dudes. HI. LONG STORY. SORRY. :D
Maleficent is like. I can't even. I wanna see her and Ursula go head to head, when Ursula's all hulked out like a giant octopus tranny and Maleficent's got her dragon on. Seriously. Why hasn't this been animated as a cut scene for Soul Calibur or something?
Brendon Urie starring as Aladdin. IS WHAT I'M SAYING HERE.
Yeah, he's sorta obnoxious, but it's funny when he comes in already all hyped up about some crazy Korean smackdown drama and I get to hear the dorky blow-by-blow. And I did play, yeah, about 93837473892 years ago. It was fun, I always played as Zerg.
So I'm being a huge hypocrite here- I was raised on the side of a live volcano that frequently ate the houses of people my parents knew. I'll walk right up to flowing lava and like, step over it and poke it with sticks and stuff, but don't you dare put me in the same room as a spider. Or most insects. Or most sea creatures. And a wide variety of plant life. I like snakes and scorpions, though. Those can stay. And most carnivorous plants. Apparently rational fears are for lesser mortals than I.
