irabu ichiro desu

Thanks

These are the three wonderful people who have agreed to help judge the cosplay contest over at the fan club. I wanted to at least do something for them, and since I'm so into features right now, why not feature them! So, without further ado...


AD's art is delicate and detailed, and I'm constantly in awe of her style. It can range from elegant lineart to whimsical faces to adorable chibis. I started following her work during her Kuroshitsuji fanart period, but I've gained so much respect for her and inspiration from the flexibility and mastery of her drawings since then.

Saul's drawings are just so much fun. Every time she posts something new, I'm always excited to see what it will be. Often her art has a sense of humor about it, but at the same time her drawings are becoming more and more polished. Her art has as much energy as she does, which is visible in her cosplay photos. I would be surprised if there were ever a picture of her with just a timid, overlookable smile (unless it was in character)!

I first met Scarlet through ffnet, and I'm so glad she wrote to me! Once she got her dA account and uploaded pictures I was surprised at how well drawn and interesting they were. Her art has a lot of detail and complexity, but when looking at a piece, all the parts come together making a whole. I've also been really impressed with her plushie making abilities as well as her recent Madam Red cosplay. I can't wait to see what she works on next.

My name isn't really Kate, but you can call me that anyway. I'm a somewhat recent NC transplant who misses her home back in sunny CA. Silly drawings and frustrating crafts are a hobby of mine, and I'm currently finding my cosplay soul. I have way too much time on my hands, but still manage to procrastinate with everything. Talk to me sometime. I'd love to hear from you!

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 19, 2009, 4:21 PM
FFFFFFFFFF. YES THIS WARRANTS ALL CAPS. I JUST FOUND OUT THE UPSTAIRS BATHTUB IS LEAKING THROUGH THE FLOOR INTO MY LIVING ROOM. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A HUGE ORDEAL. :iconfrageplz:


I've been peeling off lots of little stickers off lots of plastic cubes. Next time you see me my finger tips will be raw and swollen... or maybe they will be worn down to the bone. Either way, look forward to that, for it means that I've been working on rubiks cubes.

I'm scared to do more drawings though. Not only do I still have a small pile of stuff for other people that I'm obligated to do first, but I'm worried that I don't have a style of my own. This doesn't seem such a travesty, but for fanart in an artist's alley it's kind of a big deal. I can't get by on the cubey-gimmick I've come up with alone. I need style. I need to be able to draw characters in my own way, and not just replicate the original. It's frustrating, and I feel lost when I think about it. It's like when you go to put on a sweater that's way to big... I'm just swimming in it.

Meanwhile, I've set up my page full of other people's art to show off what suits my tastes. After maybe a month I'll change it again and just start doing random features of friends. Really, I can never say what I'll be interested in in the future, but that's the plan for now.

Club stuff is going well. I've worked so hard on that freaking club, and every time an event has a good turn out I get so thankful. I think a lot of the work goes on behind the scenes- you should see the massive spreadsheet I have on my computer of ALL the members, past and present, as well as all the activities and participants. Setting up the point system was another large task, but it's set up to run smoothly from here on out as long as I don't get forgetful. I don't know how long I'll be doing this club stuff, and I wonder... if I decide to quit, will someone would take over for me in the years to come? Would they run the club with the same attention and fervor as I do? Well...not everyone has nearly unlimited hours in the day for such things, so probably not. Heh. Not that any of you guys want to hear about the fan club. ^^;

I'm totally abusing the :XD: emote lately. It's like the only one I use. Maybe I should look into some plz's just for variety's sake, but in the grand scheme of things, it's kind of unimportant. I tried to use that emote in a chat and it totally failed. It turned into :X D: (which is the opposite of the intended :XD:) and revealed my level of n0obness to everyone there.

Hmm...I forgot to soak the beans last night, so that means no chili beans for dinner today. That's sad. Maybe we can have baked potatoes or something easy... maybe even fast food. =_= I think I should eat better. No, I KNOW I should. But fries and jalapeño poppers and cake and soda are all so tasty! My diet is probably wreaking havoc on my blood sugar levels, but at least I'm not getting fat!! *worries about diabetes* Okay, it's probably not that serious yet, but it is always in the back of my mind.

Now I'm just writing whatever pops into my head because I've got nothing better to say. >_> Oh yeah!! I was talking to ~zyne earlier, and apparently she's watching Kuchu Buranko and wants to do a little Irabu cosplay. I's so freaking excited :XD: So I'm going to look into making a totally exaggerated lab coat for her. It should prove to be interesting. We'll see if we get recognized at all during Katsu. It's fun getting people into the anime. :D I wouldn't say it's the best show ever, but it's worth a try. I feel proud of myself for spreading the Trapeze love. LOLOLOL

AND NOW... a journal meme. As with nearly all of these survey things I fill out, this one was stolen from ~TheAmazingFetus....


Have you used the opposite sex's bathroom in a public place before?
I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if I did and forgot.

Do you rent movies frequently?
Not really. With Steve working at blockbuster and the advent of file sharing, I haven't rented in a while.

Do you quote movies or songs to answer survey questions?
Never.

Have you ever taken a survey backwards?
Never.

What is your name spelled backwards?
.emit eht lla sdrawkcab ffuts epyt ot desu I tub ,hsimrkiSetaK

What is NOT your name spelled backwards?
everything else.

What is your favorite thing to do outside?
draw or just sit quietly and wait for animals to come by.

Are you afraid of Michael Myers?
I STILL get him mixed up with Jason. For all I know they're just two of one maniac's delusional personalities.

Will we ultimately end up destroying our own race?
No. Humans are amazingly good at reproducing.

How do you think the world will end?
this is what wikipedia tells me: "Earth's fate is precarious. As a red giant, the Sun will have a maximum radius beyond the Earth's current orbit, 1 AU (1.5×1011 m), 250 times the present radius of the Sun.[90] However, by the time it is an asymptotic giant branch star, the Sun will have lost roughly 30% of its present mass due to a stellar wind, so the orbits of the planets will move outward. If it were only for this, Earth would probably be spared, but new research suggests that Earth will be swallowed by the Sun owing to tidal interactions.[90] Even if Earth would escape incineration in the Sun, still all its water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere would escape into space. "

An alien ship lands at your house, and they want you. Do you go with them?
No. I don't usually go out. I'll probably be too busy fiddling around on deviantart.

What's your favorite meal to cook?
I like making stew. It's easy and warm and tasty. I also like making cookies because they smell soooo good.


Homework: Do you actually READ the chapters, or just skim through them?
I read them depending on what the class was about or what the specific question was.

Will Stewie ever kill Lois?
At first I didn't know what this referred to, but then I figured it out. And probably no.

If you were in a horror flick, would you be one of the first ones to die?
I hope so. It'd spare me the stress and horror of living through the experience just to die near the end. I don't want to live my last hour and a half like that.

What movie has been taken WAY too far, as far as sequels go?
Titanic 2: The Iceberg Strikes Back
The Shawshank Redemption 2: Judgement Day
It's a Wonderful Life 2: The Wrath of Clarence
Forrest Gump and the Chamber of Secrets
The Wizard of Oz 2: Electric Bugaloo
Hotel Rwanda: Two Towers
Princess Bride 2: When Nature Calls
Donnie Darko saga: New Moon


Is that your final answer?
I didn't ask one.

What makes you as giddy as a school girl?
Sugar. Lots and lots of sugar.

Do you enjoy spending time with your family?
Yes. With some non-immediate family it's a little less enjoyable because we don't know each other.

Do you get a fake Christmas tree each year, or a real one?
Personally, I'm getting a fake one...that's made of crystal fibers and grows when you put the solution in it!

How long would you have to know someone before tying the knot?
Bob and I have been together nearly five years, and we're still not planning any weddings.

The best theme park ride ever is ____. Now, tell us why!
Any roller coaster besides that dragon one for little kids at the fair.

Would you embarass yourself if you met your favorite celebrity?
You mean if I met Dave Foley, Bruce Campbell, Alan Cumming or Harry Anderson? Yes. Yes I would.

If a person had a glass eye, would that scare you?
No. I've known someone with one and it's pretty realistic.

Can you not quit looking when someone has something freaky on their face?
I can quit anytime!

Bad habits never die. Will yours?
Procrastinating. Making a mess and not cleaning up.

Do you refuse to eat certain foods because of what they look like?
No.

Are you a twin?
No. Well... I guess I don't actually know, but I highly doubt it.

Did this survey amuse you?
Ehhh. :shrug:

  • Mood: Lazy
  • Listening to: the voices
  • Reading: between the lines
  • Watching: my weight
  • Playing: possum
  • Eating: my heart out
  • Drinking: myself to death

Marukaite chikyuu!

Alright...unfortunately the gods of computer technology have cursed me today.

Since I couldn't get into the chat, I submitted all my final votes in a note, best conceptual/craftsmanship beginner, intermediate, etc. Hopefully they can be of some use.

I apologize my incredible impotence and my computer's impotence in the matter but thank you for giving me the oppourtunity to judge all the same!

My computer's browser was too outdated to open the chat window, and it kept logging me out of dA, so I quite literally ran to my godmother's house and begged her to use her computer, but it tells me the javascript it inaccessible, so I don't know if I can participate in the chat and judging.
