Still stoked for season 2
Still stoked for Season 2 of Merlin, as nenadi and hiphopelephant will testify, since I spent more time than either would prefer telling them exactly how stoked I was. Neither of them really give a crap either, but I don't know anyone else who likes the show.
Anyway, since I was stoked, and I was upset about not being able to learn how to use Painter adequately (I think that the learning curve is not so much a learning curve as a learning wall. The concrete types with barbed wire at the top and strobe lights to keep you from getting over it.), I was fiddling around with photoshop and trying out a technique I saw somewhere online with some Merlin fanart.
Which didn't work at all, and it was generally an upsetting experience, so I don't think I'll be experimenting with that again anytime soon.
But, the fanart anyway. I actually hate it a lot, and I'd rather not look at it if I don't have to. Part of me is wondering if I should post it at all. I'm not happy with it, but I don't think I can stand working on it any longer. (Not to mention I lost my saved file. :/)
By now I think I should just copypasta my shpeel about how much I suck at capturing likeness of people and how they look nothing like them.
On the bright side, I seem to be fantastically adept at drawing blood! Must be left-over from all those teenaged emo pics I used to draw.
Just looking at the pic is making me grumpy, so I guess I should move on.
And another pic, because I actually like Gwen/Merlin. I think they're really cute. I like Arthur/Morgana too, and Merlin/Morgana, just for the heck of it.
I don't really like Gwen/Arthur yet, but I hope I do. I hope they start bickering or something, because I know that'll get me to like them.
