Yesterday me and H drove to Porvoo, because we wanted to see it's Old Town -area. We didn't actually know that there were some 200 year anniversary day that day, so the place was pretty crowded :P It was also really sunny and hot and I'm surprised that I didn't get a sun burn!
We also visited Porvoo's Doll- and Toy-museum that's in the Old Town. There were many of those old dolls that are ball jointed, so even though old dolls look pretty creepy, it was really exciting to see the first "BJDs" ;)
I took an insane amount of pictures, you can see them HERE!

Also, blame this on make_it_sweet.

DAY FOUR.


One Gallon

I donated blood today~ And I got my first One Gallon pin! I've given one gallon of blood since I turned 18~! I'm kinda proud of myself, you know? It only took six years- haha. I donated my one pint today, got my one gallon pin (eight pints in a gallon), went by Swansons to see if they had any Cherry Trees, came home, and went to sleep *laughs*

Thank you all who voted on my poll~ Very helpful indeed. Now I just have to get his old faceup off of him. Hmmm... I cannot remember if it was sealed or not- hmm hmm! My problem is I cannot really remember how to take an old faceup off without damaging the resin underneath. D: (The old faceup is with water color pencils and pastels~)

Hello, everyone. Long time no see. I used to post up links to my webcomic Bleu's Forest/Animal Pens here until sometime in January. Currently, that work is inactive. Someday, I will go back and continue it. Why did I stop? Quite frankly, both that work and my skill was abysmal. ( Read more... ) Well, now it is time for me to STFU and actually show some cartooning here. These are pages from a Sunnyville episode zero minicomic that I'm finishing up and will make photocopies of.

Sunnyville #0 page 1
Sunnyville #0 page 2
Sunnyville #0 page 3

(x-posted)

I really really like Ending 6. So well done. Lol. So I went on a screencap frenzy from youtube. The expression is drawn so well! Unfortunately the quality is low because I couldn't find decent subs/raws that were available to d/l.



( SENA IS TOO CUTE!!! )


And then there's that same animator I think (?) that worked on this particular scene in 105 with Panther and Sena racing each other to pick up the lost American teammates. So cute <3


( Sena racing Panther!!! )

If E21 wasn't so low budgeted...it would have made such a lovely anime if they had their animation like above. They had really nice original character design to follow too! Sena half the time look so ugly drawn in the anime T_T;; So sad...I'm almost finished with the anime! On ep 128. haha.

I want to touch up the image and make icons now haha. But bed time. 3:22 am

Grape Leaves in the Sun

We were worried that our grape died over the winter and were very pleased indeed to see buds on it again. I love that old thing even if the grapes that grow on it are not the kind you can eat. It covers half of the west side of our house *laughs* And this picture was taken while looking out of our pantry window at it.... the pantry window that the last thieves broke and climbed through. I still don't see how they were able to climb onto our old fence without it falling down under them. =\

::cries in a corner::

Hi. I'm new. I think gross dolls are funny too.

This one is just fucking dismal, and they are so proud of it. Doesn't look so bad at first blush (ie, the thumbnail) but take a closer look and whoo boy.

( as if the winking Ari head was anything to write home about in the first place )

eBay auction

Sloppy, sloppy. Sidewalk-chalk eyeshadow, orange eyebrows, crusty lips, ball-point penscribble "artist signature"and a glued-on mohair wig. The glued-on Teacher Star Sticker is just the right touch! HOW CAN YOU RESIST?! BUY NOW!

Preordered Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days... Also interested in buying The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box someday.

I'm doing a rather tedious drawing of some of my main characters from various stories, all wearing Frankie's school uniform:

Otherwise known as essenceofmalice's limited Angell Studio Vampire Elf Tan Gavin who has been sitting around faceless for nearly a year. We really did drop off the face of the doll world. But better late than never.

In any event, I think initially Gavin was supposed to be a Drow... didn't happen. He suddenly decided he was Ancient Egyptian, and well, I indulged him...

He's sort of done, I think, not sure about hair or clothes or accessories etc etc, I'm just sort of playing now that he's all painted...so some rushed late-night shots:


Not sure about the white eyelashes...


I painted the tat too--last minute decision... I could have been in bed earlier *lol*
