MISH MISH WINS!

Okay, so it was pretty much a forgone conclusion for a while, but YAY! *Wonders how to send congrats to a Sri Lankan prison* *Wonders if Overlord even knows of the Contest, let alone the fact that he's just won*

So, I was doodling around again, not intending on making anything worth posting, but... I think I like the way this turned out. I've been trying to get a good caricature of Dean for a while. I know I usually like to draw everything subtle and smooth, but now that I'm interested in a live action fandom I think I should put a bit more effort into getting a human likeness. And since I'm not interested in photo-realism, that means learning how to exaggerate the right features.

I feel a bit weird and shy about this picture, I'm having difficulty telling if it's actually good or not. I love this sort of stuff when other people do it, but every time I try to make an exaggerated, overdone pic I end up thinking it looks weird and reining it in- which I ended up doing this time, but only because the exaggeration was preventing me from getting a good likeness. Okay, yeah, I'm just going to post it now.

It can be pretty hard to find anything on Kink Comment memes, so I felt the need to rec this, and make sure it gets the recognition it deserves.

Request was:
Dean/Andy
Dean fuck Andy with his bang

Link: If you had asked Google, it might look like this.

Did you mean...

A cracktastic response to a perceived typo.
NC17, but more hilarious then sexy.

Happy New Years! I come bearing gifts. And by gifts, I mean the devil.


Spoilers: 5.04 The End
Thanks to Fox4859 for showing interest! If I didn't know someone was waiting on this it probably would have remained a promising doodle lost in the back of my drawers.
Also, wow did this turn out great. I think this is the first time something has actually turned out better than how I envisioned it! Yay!

So I just heard about Misha Collins holding a solid first place in the running for Best Twitter of 2009. And I really want to read some RPF were he succeeds in taking over the world. (Because I believe it. Misha has my vote for evil dictator like no one else ever will.) Anyone know where to find something like that?

So I was just googling the name of a SPN author and got directed to their page at Fan History Wiki. I don't know if I've ever seen this before, but on a whim I decided to put my own name in the search box and what do you know, I have my own Fan History page! Does everyone have one of these things? Is it automated? Probably not; which brings me to wonder who and why anyone set this up. Especially since my only fandom listed is Transformers. Why Transformers? I've done squat for Transformers.

I really want to fill in the page, but at the same time it's kinda self involved, right? But it's not like the authors to these pages are named- We could all just pretend that I never made this post, and someone out there really does think I'm awesome enough to catalog all my brilliant contributions to fandom. What would you do, flist? Tell everyone you cured fictional cancer or leave it alone?

So who has seen the 10th Kingdom?
Anyone else think it's bizarrely oversexed?

I am totally fangirling Virginia and the Wolf.
( 10th Kingdom Spoilers )
I'm on a total mini-series kick. I've also watched Tin Man and Alice this week.

It's kinda weird that you go into these shows expecting that they're all just remakes of the original then they say, "Oh no, that was the Golden Age. Dorothy/Alice the 1st already came through here, you just happen to have the same name." Uh, okay? Seriously, what is the point of that?

I made this a while ago and had intended to draw Sam in, but finally decided to just post it as is. This was originally supposed to be Dean running (from fangirls I guess) but then I saw this old scythe displayed at my local grocers(WTF BTW) and realized how cool Dean would be with one of those babies.
( Chibi Dean with a Scythe (G) )
Anyway, it's kinda funny that I started out trying to do something goofy and it turned out like this. I not sure if Chibi style and sharp pointy objects really go together, but who doesn't love scythes, right?

ETA: I decided to post the B/W version at spn_fanart if y'all want to check it out. I think it looks better.

So I just got back from my Orientation and Registration at ze college. It was pretty fun; usually I'm nervous around new people but I felt very comfortable. I'm starting to see that a lot of the problems I had just had to do with being in Florida. Something about that state rubs me wrong. I grew up in the northwest and really feel at home here. It's startling to realize what a difference that makes in simple things like walking down a street: feeling comfortable enough to smile at a stranger.

In other news, my tablet looks like its broken. I haven't given up on it yet, but if it is there's nothing I can do. College doesn't leave much any money for non-essentials.

Okay, this is my first serious art for the Supernatural fandom. The Chip'n'Dales priests were fun, but I really wanted to draw Dean properly. And boy did he make it difficult! Sam is such a funky looking guy that I can get him on the first draft. But Dean is so perfectly proportioned it's like trying to give a Ken doll personality! Not easy.


( G rated kisses behind the cut )
Yeah, I'm a Dean girl. He needs more luvin'.
Btw, I'm a bit behind the show- only up to 4.4 plus It's a Terrible Life, and The Monster at the End of This Book. So please no spoilers in the comments. Thx guys ♥

Via potteread.

I challenge everyone who sees this to post a gorgeous picture of Jared or Jensen (or both!) in your LJ today.



I figured someone else could post the serious pictures.
Of course, my inner hp_Beholders fan saw opportunity here, so you get a drawwble too.

Someone really doesn't want me to be a writer.
Back when I was writing that snarry fic, my personal computer went down taking my polished first chapter with it. Since it was my first time writing I was devastated. Eventually my mother let me use her work computer at night, until she quit her job. For some reason she wasn't able to extract the files before turning it in. Though I was willing, the fic resisted all attempts at being revived a second time.
After these incidents I promised myself I'd be more cautious: do most of it in pen, keep everything on a flash drive, and upload it to the net. I just was going to transfer my first chapter from my personal computer, but lo and behold the damn computer won't start! Just sldghiosdhg~ Argh! Why, WHY?!
It's not a complete loss content-wise, but I've learned how important momentum is and that's quite a few hours down the drain if I can't get this thing fixed. Why did it have to shut down when I went to back it up? That's just cruel. I didn't even do anything! Usually when the computer breaks I'm reasonably certain I had it coming, but not this time! I have the worst luck.

Okay, I can no longer resist the madness: binsybaby's post of Twilight GIFs is officially the most hilarious post in existence! Get your asses over there forthwith. It's things like this that make me want to download the entire internet just for shits and giggles.

Here's a preview to wet your appetites:


( And my favorite! (cut for length) )
The more people complain about Twilight, and post shit like this, the more I want to see it. I think I've laughed more this week than I have in the last year. Geeze, first being reintroduced to Overheard Everywhere then this! If anyone else has some links to random hilarity, please share! ♥ ♥ ♥

HAHAHAHA~ Prince's expression

Hey! I'm back-ish.
The move went pretty easy, and I already feel like its home! A few note-worthy events happened since I last posted (Like my vibrator going off when I was loading it into the moving van lol, TMI). I kept wanting to write you guys updates, but only recently has my wireless been working with any reliability. I thought after the move we'd have all this money to get a good connection and other neat stuff, but there have been problems with my mother's disability payments so we're not going to be using up any cash on frivolous things until that gets worked out. *sigh* That's what I get for thinking I could relax about money for a while.

Besides that, I'd like to say that I've been keeping a bit of a secret for a while, but I think it's past time you guys knew that I've decided to do some writing. Yes, I too distinctly remember me saying that it's creepy when someone can both draw and write with any sort of talent, but well... Nya! I don't care. Unfortunately for most of you on my flist, the first fic I started awhile back didn't work out too well- apparently these things need room to breathe and I killed it with my strangle-hold. I say too bad because I think a lot of you would have liked that one; it was a dark!Snarry based off Phantom of the Opera. Anyway I suppose I put too much pressure on myself for a first time fic, but this time I'm not trying to win any awards. I usually don't like to say things unless I'm going to follow through, so I'm telling you this now because I'm in the process of writing a Transformers/HP crossover, and I'm pretty sure this one is going to see the light of day. I'd like to have the prologue and first chapter up before the Transformers sequel comes out in June, but I'm not sure if that's too optimistic. Besides hoping some of you will check it out if I do end up posting this thing, this is also a notice that my art production might drop in favor of writing for a while-- this is probably why there aren't many people who do both art and fic, right?

So you writers out there got any tips for a first timer? Any idea where to get a beta for a crossover? How goes betaing typically work anyway; am I going to need a reliable internet connection? Also any links to writer's resources would be nice. In particular, I'm having trouble with an action scene.

In other news, I think learning about the mechanics of writing has ruined quite a few fics for me. There is just something about being able to articulate why something is crap that makes that opinion so much more concrete in my mind. It's like, if I can't say what's wrong with it then there might not actually be anything wrong with it; I'm just being harsh. Now, it's like every negative thought I've had about backwater ffnet crap has been validated and I can't ignore it anymore. I really hope I'm not about to become a fic snob or a grammar nazi, that would be no fun at all.

Yesterday, Mom was acting pretty preoccupied. When I finally asked her what's up she says, "I decided not to renew our renters insurance; we have 15 days to move."
Me: O_o "O...kay?"
Today we checked out a place three blocks down from where we are now, and ended up signing the lease there. I'm a bit blown away by how fast everything is happening, but I think we needed the kick in the pants. We just can't keep paying what this place is asking for, they keep raising our rates and it's no longer do-able.
Thankfully, besides a much lower rent our new apartment is not too much of a change. Mom was talking about driving all the way to California to live, I just wanted to stay on the same street. We've got Borders, the grocers, and quite a few places to eat all within a mile and a half. With her limited disability and the fact that we're without a car, these things are really important. Plus I doubt many places have the same public transportation system for the disabled that Florida has.
Right now I'm trying to take one thing at time; if I think about it too hard I start wondering if we have enough time, whether I'll be able to move everything with out hiring help, whether I'll come to regret choosing the apartment I did, etc... Anyway I'm going to be busy for awhile, and this is a good time to change internet providers like I mentioned a few posts back, so I'll be on hiatus until I'm resettled.

I've brought you all Resident Evil Porn! I doubt a lot of you on my flist have played the 4th game, so here's a short vid on youtube of Leon and Luis' first meeting- A little Rough, don't you think? Oh Luis, you don't even have to own slash-goggles to find that line interesting. Never mind the fact that he just came out of the closet in bondage.

( Leon S. Kennedy/Luis Sera (NC17) )

Apparently in some places the word 'Cute' is code for 'Guro'. *gag* Damn you internets.
WARNING: vicarious squickage, for those faint of heart.

I've been feeling a little icky lately, but yesterday I finally felt like working on one of my drawings. So I was doing 'research', (and by research I mean looking at porn) and decided to take a break and check-out a forum titled 'Cute'- expecting cat macros, or at least cat-boys. Imagine my disgust when I was instead lead to a page filled with mutilated bodies and pics of people literally bathing in blood. Normally I don't have much of a problem with Guro. At that time of the month, I can even almost see the appeal of it in a deeply psychotic, my-uncle-is-really-Hannibal-Lecter sort of way(and by almost, I mean not at all really). But that doesn't mean I want it shoved in my face. As long as I don't have to see it, I don't care what gets you off. But tricking people into clicking on your page is not keeping it to yourself. Sure, wack off to corpses if you want, just don't expect me to.

I should have wrote this yesterday when I was pissed. Today the sadistic part of me that doesn't instinctively despise Guro, thinks it's actually pretty funny. You know that anyone who finds that crap arousing has got to have a warped sense of humor. *sigh* I can never stay mad.

So today was more doodling with my new/old Photoshop. I think I'll keep it, I'm not missing any vital features yet. ...So, I said I wasn't going to do any Transformers fanart, but I lied. Sorry, I promise to scan in my notes for that Wonderland pic tomorrow, and get to work on it! Anyway this was just supposed to be a throw-away doodle to work on my caricature skills, but I ended up really liking where it was going. Maybe I'll add Bee in later.

So I got my computer today (quick right?), there have been a few problems but 9 times out of 10 it was my own fault. I spent 3 hours trying to turn on the internet connection, when it occurred to me that I never reset the connection to the new IP address. I mean God! 3 HOURS and all I had to do was unplug a cable and plug it back in again! AND I had the speakers plugged into the wrong port, so I spent another hour checking all the drivers before once again- unplug/replug was the answer. I swear I'm not usually so retarded, today has just not been my day.

In related news, I totally forgot that the disk I have is for a really old version of Photoshop. I installed it and was like "...wut iz dis shit?" I played around with it a bit while fixing the lighting on a Voldy/Harry pic (Btw, was that pic really as dark as it seemed? I could hardly see it.) but I haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or find a newer version.

Also, I was pretty surprised to see that I now have Firefox. I know jack about it, so if there's anything I should know, please share! Right now, I'd like to know a bit more about the bookmarks (and the tagging system), but anything would be welcome. Does anyone know if/how I can import my bookmarks from IE to Foxfire? I've got tons of them and would rather not do it manually.

We, in the house of Bloopers, have talked long and hard about switching internet providers. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes us so long to decide on anything that it could be months between the decision to shut down our current connection, and the decision on which provider we'll get to replace it. Thus, I am posting about a possible hiatus in the near future. But ne'er fear! I've just ordered that new computer mentioned in the last post! Whoo, I'm really looking forward to being able to run my art programs again! I've had a scene for my Wonderland series I've been wanting to draw for a while, but I can't do those sort of scenes without making like 10 drafts of everything, which is a real pain if you only have a pencil and paper to work with. I can't wait til it gets here! I think it comes with a wireless card so we'll see how that works out. The last time I dealt with wireless it was pretty unreliable, but it should be better than nothing right?

In other news- I am actually aware that it is a holiday today. Last year I was like, "...is someone setting off fireworks???" Actually, I'm only aware that it's a holiday because I tried to go to the bookstore and it was closed, but it still counts right? Lol, Happy New Year Everybody!
