Phooka?
Erikuz, I know you know, heck I know, already that Pan's Labyrinth is eating away at my brain, but this is seriously getting out of hand. It's now been two absolutely random dreams of Del Toro and that one lovely new girl in my Water Sports class looks too much like an older version of Ivana Baquero. Help, help, help!But God, I'm loving it

Gah, you've got his profile down. And the feline cant to his features, too! ♥ ♥ ♥ Gods, looking over these, I just cannot stop loving your style. It's so smooth and clean and almost tribal in a way, but there's a spacey edge to it as well. I think I'm looking at the visual embodiment of "sci-fi/fantasy", and now I CAN'T LOOK AWAY! So much love.
And now I am vexed because I like to constructively critique rather than gush incoherently. Curse you, and your magical fingers ( ... )

In truth, I truly dislike my style and adore yours, but I appreciate your words a little too much right now to try to bring myself back down to earth. Err, so instead more incoherent flailing on my part. I'm dead certain that I was a sea turtle or something in my past life; this flailing of the arms is being awfully overdone on my end.In regards to the concept behind the WIP, that was actually a ditty I had been entertaining for a while now. Fauns/Satyrs are often associated with playing a flute or other wind instrument of sorts, but in Pan's Labyrinth, such an item was never present. However, I recently saw an image of Doug Jones playing around with a bone flute-ish prop in one of the Behind the Scenes images on the official site and thus wondered if perhaps Del Toro had considered the idea (perhaps it was a scene that got cut or discarded?). Therefore the beginnings ( ... )

I've already decided that there are many reasons why I like you so much. We enjoy the same fandoms, you're intelligent and articulate and some kind of higher being with the tablet ... but, best of all? We clearly have the same thought processes.
I saw a number of PL trailers, but they all had strategic English narration over any moments of the actual Spanish dialogue. Ticked me off quite a lot; even then, I'd wanted to hear the faun's voice. Then, finally, on the one multicultural channel I get way out here in the tundra, I caught an original trailer. Well, I caught the end; my mom shrieked for me when she saw the beginning and I had to bolt across the house. AND! Just as I arrived, the faun was gesturing to the statue, saying something like, "Do you see that girl? That's you. And I'm there as well."
Next, of course, Ofelia asks, "Who's the baby?"
And the faun pauses, then answers, "Never mind."
And so, through a movie trailer, the OTP was born. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE.But, yes. In my estimation, you ( ... )

Doesn't matter. It's sort of funny, actually, and I'm a persistent jerk. =D
Right, what was I talking about? THE ARTSES! I owe you answers, yes I do.
I flipflop a lot, in all respects. Composition concepts spring from full layouts that coalesce in my imagintionland, or from certain songs, colour combinations, or names/lines of dialogue that get stuck in my head. Sometimes I just sit down, scribble a line or two, and then try to make it into something.
Same thing with media. I do pencil sketching, a bit of inking, a bit of dumbfun marker work, a little painting, charcoal now and then (mmmm), and many digital things because they are tidy. XD I run Photoshop 7.0 and oC at home, and PS CS on my laptop. I think CS is the one that sees the most use lately. I wish I used oC regularly, but I can never seem to sit myself down in front of the home PC long enough. Just last night, with Yurlunger, I had to wait until 11:00PM to steal the compy and start doodling. XD ( ... )

EEKS, I HEART YOU SO MUCH.
The conglomeration of questions here pretty much give order to the chaos of my own curiosity when it comes to this topic. For the longest time, I've been wanting to address (through fanfiction again, sigh) the issue of original versus reincarnation. It was the very first twinge of inspiration I felt for this fandom, while still watching the movie: if Ofelia and Moanna could meet, what might each mourn having lost to the other? Later on, I batted some fairly crappy ideas around (meeting in a dream was the best I could come up with), but I only put down a few fragments before deciding that it wasn't worth continuing - not like that, at least ( ... )

These are the kind of responses from you that make me look around for the household dog and squeeze the poor creature to death whilest I squee enthusiastically as I read (and reread!) your comments over, and over, and over again.
So, if you ever get something in the mail about suing for a crushed housepet... yeah. :D
And while I am thankful that I have contributed something to this most lovely discussion, all salutes go to you here. As I stated before, I really, truly, had not, for a moment, even considered the concept of Moanna vs. Ofelia. Quite frankly, I simply stood around oblivious and even had a hard time remembering Ofelia's counterpart's name for nearly the first two weeks upon entering this fandom. So, thus, imagine my overwhelming surprise when I finally absorb the crucial point that ( ... )

And I was completely and utterly going to say something useful here, but now I forget what that was, because I reread all of the comments on this entire page and went, OHCRAPIMISSYOUTOOLOVELOVELOVEYAY.
Someday we're going to meet at a con or something. People are just gonna pray to know a microcosm of our hysterical joy at some point in their own lives.
Honestly, HONESTLY, every single Panthing I do from now on will be secretly dedicated to you. Know that! Because nobody else understands that sometimes you just need to freak out hardcore over the things you love ( ... )

And this page! I shall keep it forever and forever! It is full of win with your awesome comments! Yet somehow I can't seem to directly save LJ pages; I might have to settle for saving this word for word in a simple Notepad document. D; TREASURETREASURETREASURE.

If dreams come true, this will be a reality. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll land somewhere along the East Coast upon graduation, BECAUSE THEN MY NEXT MISSION WILL BE TO FIND YOU, HARR HARR! ♥

GRAH! You got to it before me! STOP THAT, and from here on I officially declare every Pan!work I have done (will do, am doing) is discreetly dedicated to your worshipfulness ( ... )

I suppose you could call me a "shipper" of their relationship. Not one of my friends feel the same way about them - but you two! You both understand and (in a better vocabulary) delve deeper into their dark, twisted relationship with such insight! Ah, I love it.
I am SO glad I clicked the link for this journal.
