This icon is me right now

This is basically how I feel the past couple of days. Haha. I'm sure I'll get over it. Just feel crappy and had to deal with a couple crappy things. Nothing major.

I'm finding that I'm actually vaguely intimidated to start actually COLORING pictures for my Kaguya-hime show. The main concern is going to color finalizes the line... and also finalizes the color combinations (which in this time period are particular!) But I can't let myself get setback because I'm afraid of making a mistake, so I'm going to force myself to finish at least two pieces this weekend.

Even though I'm still only one night into FFXIII, (Hope and Vanille make me want to gouge my eyes out) ... I went ahead and bought Assassin's Creed II because I got a $10 coupon from FFXIII... and well... killing things in Renaissance-era Italy sounds pretty sweet to me. I haven't really played/bought video games in a long time... so it's kinda fun. Also ordered Gail Carriger's next Victorian werewolf-vampire-steampunk-romance novel, Changeless because my local bookstore was being a butthead. I enjoyed her first one, Soulless. AJ and Judy pretty much insisted that I read it, ha, ha. It's a fun romp. (not for kids, though!)

Oh god, Assassin's Creed 2 is SUCH a guilty pleasure of mine! I love how much art history has been incorporated into the gameplay. Have fun! :D

I looooved Soulless! I think something like that is perfect for when you are feeling down. I adore escapist fiction.

Are the Carriger novels good? I've never read them, but I DID watch a time-lapse video on the graphic design process of a bookcover. :3

We really like them! They're like a super lightweight version of "To Say Nothing Of The Dog" if you've read that. They're very british and lots of fun with good humor and vampires and werewolves and steampunk. =D

Thank you for the recommendation! I love British humor and slang. I wasn't familiar with the series, just the covers because of this particular YouTube video:

*snugs the sad Aimee*

I know what you mean about being afraid of going to color -- been there, done that (same thing for inking!)

Are these physical-media or digital?

Wishing you luck and hoping that you're happy with the results!!

physical, mostly. hence the crippling fear. haha.

I'm planning on doing most of the coloring with marker. flirting with the idea of using cut paper accents and metallic paint accents. and then probably compositing some of them in photoshop and doing some minor editing.

thanks babe!

Vanille is obnoxious *sighs* besides that how do you like FFXIII?

[ajmeow.livejournal.com]

You can do it! /hugs

I'm still kind of dragging around as well. Last weekend wiped me out. o_O

bb. you have to do the ironman-ette costume. OH MY GOD. For SDCC. DO IT.

[ajmeow.livejournal.com]

I was telling Zen you said I should do it and he's all: HOLD ON, THERE IS A GROUP FOR SDCC. (This is all your fault...) =DDD

The costume cracks me up though. I told him I'd do it if we get to dance. LOL

OH MAN. AND YOU GET TO DO THE DANCE. IT GETS BETTER. XD XD
