Description Well, there's a lot that that turned out really 'wtf?' with this... but what the heck. I heart the tree up in the corner. It is the best part.

I had said that I wanted to draw more of the characters from the other story that's getting tossed around my head now, so that was what really prompted this. Unfortunately I haven't even really decided on a name for heeer (although I'm kind of leaning toward Riley for some reason...). And I'm positive that her character design is going to change a bit. All the same, it was productive to start thinking about how I wanted to draw her and such. It's all progress.

Anyway, she's the next one for the tithe, so that should be a huge hint for where the general plot is headed...

Everything? Wow, that makes me feel accomplished! ^^ Yeah, he is rather fun to draw... I've always been super partial to light eyes and black hair, and swishy black hair is just even more win. XD But yey, I'm very glad you approve of him!

Now I just need to work more on her. *still undecided*

He always looks so distinct <_< and perfect >_> EVERY time you draw him, he just strikes a cord. Same with Rael and Korinne, but, in a different way! XD

What pray tell be you undecided about? 8O!

Woot, dictinct! I really can't ask for more than that, since that's kind of an important thing. Aaaah man, your comment really makes me want to draw more art from my stuff soon. u___u

Mmmm well, I'm just not sure how I want to draw her yet. Like, is that the color of hair I want? Is that the style? Etc etc. So that's where my brain farts come in, I guess...

I know. School sucks. I feel tired and cranky like 90% of the time, and have a good feeling that if I try to chat I'll somehow manage to get snappish or just not be talkative at all. No Frotu is probably better in those cases. *laughs* Unfortunately, that is why I've only been getting on like maybe once a week. *siiiiiiigh*

But hey, I got something in the mail. XD Haaarg, syphilis. That's so wildly inappropriate that it's amazing. I'm pretty sure I saw something like that little plush for ebola once, long long ago... but yes, it made me giggle muchly. Thaaaaaaaaank you!

Spoofmaster In reply to Frotu [2009-02-01 00:04:06 +0000 UTC]

Aww...hoomph. I seem to more have the problem that I just don't do anything for school and then feel down on myself about it. What the hell. I'm already ridiculously behind in my reading.

They did have an ebola plush as well, but it looked like a piece of poo. Otherwise I totally would have gotten that one for you. It's probably a bad sign that I laugh whenever ebola comes up.

Hopefully I'm going to be around devART cleaning up my gallery, since it's full of broken links, and maybe uploading some stuff. I don't think I ever put that jackalope anywhere other than LJ.

Frotu In reply to Spoofmaster [2009-02-11 03:35:59 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha oh yes, definitely feel that whole "GAH YOU SUCK! Why don't you get anything done!". That's totally how I feel today... but I can sort of give myself some slack since I did have 6 1/2 hours worth of friggin labs.

Ew, poo ebola? How crass. Syphilis definitely is quite cute. Haha, curly pink STD ftw! XD But as for laughing at ebola... you shouldn't feel bad. I mean, I'm the one who laughed at the idea that my brain might have been in danger of exploding. If that's not inappropriate, I really don't know what is.

Oh, and my brain isn't going to explode. The tests came back so that's yey.

Aaaanyway, the ebola thing got me to thinking about our cafepress shop. I think I'll have to talk to you a little bit about that, cause... it's funny. But I think maybe someday we should get our moneys, y/y?

YES come on dA more often. It would be good for youuuuu.

Spoofmaster In reply to Frotu [2009-02-18 01:59:26 +0000 UTC]

So, after all that I haven't been on dA, like...at all. Even to see this and go "ohh, no brain explodey! Yey!"

That was...probably pretty predictable of me.

I do still want to clean up my account and all that, but there's craziness with needing to catch up on schoolwork. Ugh. It will happen, though!

Frotu In reply to Spoofmaster [2009-02-18 07:44:29 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, yeah, not too surprising, actually. XD Although that totally would have been a good way for you to find out much earlier that my brain wasn't going to pop.

Heh, I'm like... two chapters behind on physics (with a test next week, it must be mentioned), two in learning (with a test THIS week), and also missing tons of little things. Yet I'm still replying to stuff on here and drawing pictures. XD So no excuses! haha

I've barely done any of my reading for a while now. I got my women and film stuff done last week, but now there's more. What the heeeck. It never ends. Also, I have to figure out what I'm going to do for my rock on film paper...I'm thinking Labyrinth. Mebbeh.

And I think tonight I want to just go write some fanfiction.

Frotu In reply to Spoofmaster [2009-02-21 21:58:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah, well... half the time I think the readings make things more confusing than necessary anyway. Anyway, why would you think it'd ever end? Obviously it doesn't. Did you know, I have a test every week for the rest of the semester, on top of all the random assignments and everything? Not acceptable!

So did you write fanfiction? Hehe

Spoofmaster In reply to Frotu [2009-02-22 06:01:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, in film theory the readings are really pretty much how one gets anything out of the class. We're supposed to read them and then come in and have a discussion...so class is pretty much the professor staring at us until someone talks. It's really lame. Plus he keeps threatening to test us on readings he never even frikkin assigned. What an ass.

And I did not write fanfiction. I reread some of my fanfiction and did some reading. Eh.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Frotu In reply to Spoofmaster [2009-02-23 20:29:27 +0000 UTC]

Well... I guess at least you can get something out of class in some form. Although I hate discussion based classes. It's like... just tell me how it is. Don't make me guess and think and then have it be WRONG. Because then I've made neural pathways and stuff that are incorrect and it's harder to learn the right way. Stupid.

Haha, well, I guess that's better than my physics teacher, who actually does test over things he hasn't taught. Because the book, which has like no examples of anything useful, is obvious enough for us to understand everything. u___u

Hm... well... reading fanfiction is something, I suppose...

Tonight I'm saying screw real homework for now, because I have to get my films ready to submit for the student filmfest, which I've known about for months. Buut I haven't prepared my submissions at all. Go me. I'm not that worried about getting the editing and stuff done, but I've had trouble getting two of the three I'm going to enter to burn onto a DVD, so I'm a bit concerned about that continuing to be a problem.

And sometime before midnight I have to go down to the front office to return the movie I checked out and never got a chance to watch. Bloo.

Frotu In reply to KittyIceCrystal [2009-01-22 09:49:40 +0000 UTC]

I really wish I could tell you! That's actually one of the things I've been hoping to get a handle on by drawing stuff like this. I feel that I have the general idea (since I originally came up with the story quite a while ago), but there are a lot of gaps that still need to be filled. *sigh* I'm sure as soon as I have some "ah HA!" epiphany, I'll be slapping it all over my profile... so maybe just keep an eye open for that?

Anyway, if you'd like a bit more information, I did write a little on [link] It's not a lot... but maybe it's at least something for now.

Thank you sooo much for your interest, though... it's really flattering to have someone want to know more about it (especially since writing is so close to my heart).

Thanks! I'm going to check out that link. Have you tried writing down what you already know about the story? I know that helps a lot of authors. You could outline what you know and what you don't know. Just a suggestion. Good luck! I'll keep watching for more!

Frotu In reply to KittyIceCrystal [2009-01-29 04:05:39 +0000 UTC]

I definitely do try to write things down when I know them... but then I also run the risk of wanting to write them, which I just don't have the time for at the moment. XD But that was definitely a good suggestion -- I appreciate that you took the time to let me know! ^^

Why don't you call her Sandra? That would fit the colour of her hair and eyes.

Frotu In reply to Feyval [2009-01-29 03:19:54 +0000 UTC]

I was hoping to give her a name that was more... unisex. I kind of like Riley (or some variation of the spelling) because it isn't super feminine... it could work for a girl that could somehow kick somebody's ass. XD

And unfortunately, Sandra/Sandy always makes me think of the movie Grease.
