Warm, simple day. Had my religious studies class in the morning (I've got Hinduism on the brain now, reincarnation is something that I've always found interesting) then met up with a friend for some pho. Like I said, warm, simple day.

Another new style. After playing with the angular and strong thick lines, now I'm into thin wispy lines with gentle curves and minimal shading while somehow still depicting form. Meh. I think this minimal shading/highlighting thing came out a lot better on my first attempt but oh well. I'm finally able to draw my weird loafer/creeper creamy mint shoes without them being too deformed! Yay for that. Man, heels are so much easier to draw.

Really light and airy shirt. It's medieval yet fantastical like a fairy all at once. The ridiculously gigantic collar remind of me wings, which is one of the best things about it of course. I think this is probably one of my favorite illustrations so far, other than my cyber soft one. I'm rather pleased with the outcome and overall feeling it gives off.

"He could not be mistaken. There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world who could concentrate for him all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she."

- Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

This quote has totally turned me into a sappy sap again. And reminded me of the sheer awe and wonder one experiences when in love. I almost miss it.

Hmmm. Return of the high-waisted, stripey shorts. Decided on a gigantic semi-shirt to go with it. And actual bare legs! Wow, it's been a while, totally felt self-conscious with bare legs. I looove you my dear tights/stockings.

Little thought that occurred to me the other day:

Why haven't condoms been turned into an insult yet? Since most of our insults surround sex in general, I wonder why condoms have been left out. No one screams out angrily "YOU'RE SUCH A USED CONDOM!!!"

But, you can scream that you're a douche. Which is...somewhat similar (I'm stretching this, I know) to the condom. Kind of. In how you're emptying bodily fluids from your sex into it. Hmm.

Ah, well it's not like we need more words to curse people with anyway.

Headaches, abdomen cramps, strange days of no hunger at all, to extreme hunger....these days I have been feeling unwell. However, I will limit my bitching about my physical deficiencies on here because this is leading me to a point. I think.

Seeing as this is the modern day of science, I finally got tired of waiting these messes out, and took two ibuprofen pills to ease my irritating pains. And now I sit here typing feeling much better and much closer to my normal self. On an outward appearance, it's so strange to look at it. Two little pills, smaller than a segment of my pinky finger, can bring me relief. Granted, it is not only the size to factor, but the content that really makes the difference, but nonetheless in terms of quantity...it is so very small in comparison to the size of my body. Yet it can make such a difference.

I find that the power in such small chemical things like this that the impossible has been made possible. This is the closest that I can believe the small human hero defeated a bohemouth beast of epic proportions. This is how one person can change the world, whether for good or for bad.

Funky Mod

Found these shorts at Goodwill. A dark forest green + navy, striped, and very high waist-ed I liked them immediately. But now, I'm not sure how to wear these things, so I'm playing around. This is one of the possible ways I've come up with, paired with another thrifted simple silk blouse, some brown tights, and funky ankle boots. Totally reminded me of the 70's.

Cyber Soft

Can't keep to doing things in one style...oh well. Maybe next time I'll get back into that rare painterly mood. For now, I stick to the beauty of lines and shapes.

Bleh

I find myself incredibly restless these days. Nothing is satisfying enough. I don't even know what I want, yet I just keep wanting and wanting.
