Random Babble Rabble

My last semester is this spring. D:

First of all, here's my promised quickie pic of Nicolina for Derrot. I've had it done for awhile now, but just haven't been taking pics of my stuff lately. >.> So it sat around for some time. ^^;

                                           

Here's Figgy Drawing stuff:

First four are all in Conte

Master copy of Seurat

We had to copy an artist's style; don't think I succeeded. >.> They're not done, so that's probably why. (My prof's like: "Y u not eva feenish?!", but nicer) I'm really slow.

Here's some experimental thing the prof had us do, which kind of baffled me. It's tracing paper with figures drawn and colored, pasted on good paper and colored over again. o.O Yeah, I dunno what I was doing.

Other figgies-

                                                     I'll be doing this one in colored pencil.

                                                                         Conte on board

Oil pastel-not done in the least. (But at least I'm paying attention to ALL of the colors in the skin, rather than just the peach tones)

I really like the class, since I've been trying different media (conte, soft pastel, oil pastel, colored pencil, etc.) I'm trying to get back into coloring a lot more, like I used to, with colored pencils. Currently, I'm working on skin tones in my sketchbook and using a simple tutorial to help (I have others but this has the least amount of pencils to use for now). 

My three Puellae Magi. I stopped since I think the idea I have would be better on bigger paper. They'll be bursting out of their Soul Gems (EGGS) with their elements flowing around them. If that made no sense, don't worry. XD

My Tennant (Cockerels crow whenever they please, thank you) and Simm(Mr. Cycle Shorts) portraits are coming out okay, I suppose.

Babbling (in list-form!)-

+ MMO Grinder/ChaosD1 takes the piss out of the show, Paranormal State. I HATE PS, so this amused me greatly.

He also plays MMORPGs and gives reviews on them. Believe me, it's more entertaining than it sounds. This one in particular is lulzy for the Engrish he encounters. I played lots of these games years ago, so I can relate to his frustrations. 8D Maple Story is also fantastic.

+I've been listening to the Blogtor Who commentaries, and I really like the hosts' banter. They're all close to an hour in length, so you may lose patience with it if you're not watching the ep at the same time or occupying yourself in some other way (which is what I do). Dalek in particular was awesome (I thought his explanation about why a single Dalek is even there and chained up is hilarious.)

+I've also been listening to DW audio books and audio dramas since I really can't read for “fun” these days, and I want to catch up on everything. Do you know how MANY stories are out there besides what's seen in the show? And that doesn't count the short stories and comics. ._.; The frustration of being a newbie. The ones I have heard thus far seem to be of the horror genre, which is odd considering how the show plays out before Moffat. I do like how the actors get into their roles. :3

+Last DW-related thing: I've seen the first two series of Sarah Jane Adventures. Despite some cringe-worthy moments (like the music that plays Every.Single.Time. Mr. Smith shows up), it is pretty entertaining. (It's a kids show, so of course it's cheesy). But there is one villain that gives me the creeps:

D: I think he would be more intimidating if he just didn't talk. His lines are so corny, and it kind of takes away from his sinister image (yet I still love the camp). But those EYES, or lack thereof. ;_; He just needs to shut up once in awhile.

+Game-wise: I've figured out how to play DOOM again, on Windows 7 :3 Now I can cut demons up with a chainsaw whenever I want! And I've recently acquired the Myst games; should be brain-twisting.

+Sherlock and Mad Dogs (with more “moonchkins,” I hope) return in early 2012. FWEE!

As for shows that are kind of “meh”: Grimm. I was very interested in this show, but it's three eps in, and I just can't give a damn. I did see a guy with a scythe in the preview for next week's, so I'll just see what that's about. >.> (Can't resist scythes)

-Music is also coming in the spring:

Kate Bush-Nov 21, 2011

Emilie Autumn-late '11-early '12?

Silver Sun Pickups- Spring '12

Epica-March 9, 2012

Now what about YOU, Miss Happy Rhodes?

+LGBT Laughs on Tumblr - Loving this blog.

+Soft owl plushie. Why? I dunno.

-Saw a lovely WolfDog today. It bumped my hand but walked off when it saw I had no food. ): How rude.

+Lastly, have a demon dog.
