30th of August
School's a big pain. Not really. It's just time consuming. I have homework for almost every day - often in several subjects and I can't do what I've always done - just not really do them. Because I actually need to work outside of class now. It sucks. I'm reading harder classes this year and in Sweden if you study Nat Sci year two (which is where I am at the moment) is the toughest year of "gymnasium" (pretty much High School). I have philosophy though - that's probably going to be fun.As usual the art update is gigantic. Most of these were made pre-school start though. Furthermore, there probably will not be an update until week 44 (autumn break!), but I'll probably post art at Buffy Forums... And! I re-organised all my Twilight art (now they're organised by which book they're inspired by or just plain "cast") so if any links don't work please let me know! (And don't bother with the ones in old updates because no was od I have the energy to back and change those links...)
In my opinion the high-lights (because as usual - again - I don't have the energy to comment on every piece and I doubt anyone would want to read that!) are:
"Shattered", "Easy", "Feel Real Love 2", "I Meant Me" and "Lose Control". Though I kind of like "Torture" as well, because it's funny^^
In addition to the art I've updated my resources (feels proud), added and affiliate and a new SOTM!
I almost forgot! (Because it's something anybody actually would want to forget...). I have six new textures to torture the world with. I have a long way to go - but practice makes OK right? In addition to that I've added screen-caps from Velvet Golmine (because it's only one of the best films ever!).
Bye mes amis! Away laughing on a fast camel!
29th of June 2008; edit 30th of July
So far I love my summer holidays. I think my birthday is a big part of why. My birthday was, after all, extremly great! I got lots of nice presents (including a new external harddrive and an iPod classic with 80GB), which always makes a girl happy. Furthermore, I got to spend the evening with some of my girly friends and we went to the Swedish premiere of Sex and the City. As I said, I had a fab birthday!Now, as you'll notice soon I have a new obsession. Henry VIII. This is shown by the amount of Tudors art (consider also I got the DVDs last Tuesday - five days ago!) I'm adding. I think the whole Henry VIII thing comes from Blood Ties (with Henry Fitzroy...), but it doesn't really matter. It doesn't really help that The Tudors just happen to have some of the coolest promos I've ever seen from a TV show... I have also (surprise surprise) amde some new icons - some of wich are shown below (for all go to "art"). In addition to the new art I've also added a new gradient set and a new Site of the Month, which would be Line at Shattered.
I am frankly too tired to comment on all the pieces. However, my favourites are "Umbrella" featuring Miranda from Sex and the City, "Poison", "Mistress" and "Tudors" (aka. Sin Court) all of which are The Tudors pieces. I'm sorry for the lack of updates and such latley, but I sometimes forget to update here because I always (almost anyway) post my new art at Buffy Forums...
Edit the 30th of July It's been a month and I still haven't un "re-vamping" the site... It's odd because I didn't have anything left to do really... Either way, I've dedided to add my even newer pices as well as screencaps from the third episode of Tudors (found in th "You" section). Again, I'm way too lazy to comment on any pieces, but I do like "Pretty Woman", "Found You" and "More Time". Oh, and I have this phase where I watch anything and everything of Jonathan Rhys Meyers... Which is why he's in every piece but one^^
That's it for now!
6th of June 2008
No more school until the 19th of August! Can you believe it? I'm super happy! This freedom has led to an update. If I'm not very mistaken, the largest art-update I've ever had! With 36 new pieces, of which 20 are digital, I'm breaking a record (I think). Other than the massive amout of art, I've also changed layout, updated my resources, affiliates, past layouts, awards won, added new link me codes and of course, a new SOTM. This time awarded to Immortal Kiss! As I've sat by my PC all day working on the layout (I had one of Vicky/Henry from Blood Ties but that was black and I feel all summer-y) and updating everything I'm very, very tired. As a result, there's no way I'm commenting on all of my new art! I'll select a few of them to comment on. Furthermore, as always, the handdrawn art (except for the doodles) are already commented on and you see that by clicking the thumbnail.
No Colour I love symbolism. Especially with colours. Colour matters a lot to me - if a piece is blue it's blue for a reason. Here I've used colour and the lack of it to show that they have to be with eachother. I'm quite pleased with the result.
I Spy Two hours of hair! Seriously, his hair took about 1,5 hours to do! This piece is also my favourite out of the (big) bunch.
Safe and Sound Remeber what I said about the colours? Yeah, very true for this piece. The flower that's green at the stem but grows black - it's dieing. For this piece I gave a lot of though as to what should be coloured and not - and which colour.
Not A Perfect Day/Hope There's Someone I pretty much tried to get the hero-feel here. Like he's this magnificant being that can save us all. It was very, very fun.
Elevator Ride My sense of humor in a nutshell (well that and "that's what she said"-jokes). In my oppinion, one of the best comic-book pieces I've ever made.
Pimps Again with the colour! I wanted a different colour-scheme for the background with the lovers and the foreground with the "out look-ers". Mostly, I just had fun...
Stuck Very, very Zugma inspired! I love it though. It turned out just the way I wanted it to, so I'm happy. Second favourite this time.
Cry, Cry, Cry Very Wendy inspired this time. It was a very long time ago since I made a celebrity piece, I'd forgotten how much fun it can be! I'm relativley happy with the result.
Doodles 1-10 These are doodles I've made in notebooks over the past school-year (by far all of them! But the ones that aren't ruined or on striped paper). Mostly I've drawn people who haven't been aware of it (so much more fun than if they pose!), some of them I just drew from imagination.
Well, that's that. No wait! I forgot, I have a new tag-board which I'd love for you to fill! The last one was giving me pop-ups and I don't like those - so I changed. Until next time! (Which won't be two months, I promise).
20th of April 2008
No, I'm not done with the studying. I simply chose to spend a day updating this neglected piece of the Web. With lots and lots of Twilight art. I have actually managed to update every section but the writing section (not quite done with the story I'm currently working on...) and the site section (just didn't have the energy to add the old layout). Anyhow... The news in the links section is that I have a new affiliate Ida's Visionary, she's Swedish like me so yay! You should pay her a visit, it'll be worth you time. Furthermore, I've updated my resources (Twilight! Twilight! Twilight!) and added two link-back buttons. The you section has been blessed with a few ugly textures (I can't seem to make decent ones, it's like a curse), a new gradient set (woo hoo!), a zip-file with a whole of 116 stock pictures I took in Berlin this summer and a new SOTM - Anna, my best ami and soulmate, read why here. Now to the artsy stuff (gotta love that word). I believe it's spelled T-W-I-L-I-G-H-T! There are three non-Twilight pieces but they were made way back (like February), before You-Know-What came and destroyed any plans I had on getting a decent grade in French!
Since there are so many of them, I'll only comment on some of them - or link to BF where I've written long and winding things about pieces.
Sam - Made for J.j's "no-resources" challenge. Which was a challenge for a resource whore like moi. Still, it's OK I guess
Man in the Mirror - I like this piece. Took a while to do (with the manip and all), but it turned out OK. The text could need some work, but but...
I Miss You - The first of many Twilight-pieces I've made the past two weeks. Anna likes it, but I can't seem to muster up any real affection for it. Love the lyrics though, it's starting to become one of my favourites.
Light of Day - I had some serious fun with the stars in this one! Maybe a bit over the top, but it's not meant as a serious piece (when are they ever?!).
Inferno - Made for Nikki's challenge over at BF, where I wrote a *lot* about it. Read here.
Sappho 1&2 - For Galathea's challenge (no, *I* don't like challenges! how dare you!) and I used a poem written by Sappho (old Greek woman), which happens to be one of my favourites. Again with the total un-seriousness when choosing pictures...
Under the Hood - Hehe, I knew as soon as I saw the pictures I had to art with them! My humor is not exactly good, if I put it like that. And as you might see, I was in a very weird mood when I made this.
Stupid Lamb - Made for Wenj's challenge ("The Lion and the Lamb") which very directly inspired this piece, which also happens to be one of my favourite ones in this bunch. So, that's that.
I completley forgot to mention the layout! It's Emmett (love him! how can you not?) and the lyrics are Mando Diao's Gold. Probably one of very few layouts where I've only used my own resources, so it's a bit special that way. I hope I haven't missed anything in this update becuase the chance of another one soon is minimal. I have two big chem tests, a few esseys and a Shakespeare play to preform (I'm the King in All's Well That Ends Well!). Please, pretty please, tag and tell me what you think or PM me on BF. I'm not dead, just studying (I know, I know, what's the difference?).
19th of January 2008
Ooh, an update. The miracle was brught upon us because I simply hated the last layout (which I also accidentally deleted so I won't add it to the past layouts in the same way as I have others). This new layout is made out of one of my new Supernatural wallpapers. I'm still keeping strong to the studying theme here, as you might notice. I hope you like this layout as there is a good probability that it's gonna be around for a while. There's a lot of Supernatural art in the new bunch. This is because I just saw the latter part of season two (finally!).
Femme Fatale - My second Moonlight art. People have complained that it hurst their eyes... Hmm, I don't know. I was goinng for a contrast dark/light thingy.
Off My Mind - Veronica and Piz, I used to hate them but I've come around. The reason he's all B/W is because I wanted the piece to be from Piz's POV and that he thinks he's boring and grey whereas Veronica is full of life and joy.
Has Logan Been By? - Seriously one of my favourite Logan scenes. The piece is very Anna-inspired.
Here With Me - I know I've arted this scene a million times now, but I'm not stopping until I make the perfect one! I do like the bottom right corner on this one though.
What I'm Looking For - The base for this layout is actually one of my favourite pieces this time. I wasn't sure about the blending first but I quite like it now.
Blues Brothers - A quick wallpaper that I think turned out OK. I love this scene (I love the entire episode!).
Jealous - Love the colouring on the Sam to the upper-right. I guess it's an OK piece (very Beth-inspired with the boxes).
Knocking on Heavens Door - This song just fitted this moment so good I had to art it. Not sure how I feel about the "left" Sam face though. I tried to show Sam's sadness of knowing "this is it" and Dean's sudden uncertainty - which is why I made it a lot darker around Sam than Dean.
All the Way - This is actually version two, the first version was horrible! Here I've tried to show that it's the Moon that seperates them, destroys their hapiness and pulls them into sorrow. I do like this piece.
Rock, Paper, Scissors - Ha! after so many sad pieces I had to do something fun. I love how Sam knows Dean's gonna take the scossors, it's such a hilarious scene. Which ultimatley was hwy I used such bright colours.
I also want to mention my new SOTM, Zugma's site Ugly Business. I beckon you all to visit it and here you can read why I chose her site. That's it for now folks! Tags and feedback is always appreciated!
*hugs*
31st of December 2007
In just about 21 hours it's a new year. If you're good at math you'll then know that my clock is 3 a.m. Which means I'm tired after having put up a new layout and added 12 new pieces of art - not to mention the fact that I have to go up in just a few ours. So I'll just comment on a few of the new art works (the ones I like a bit) then go to bed. Also, I'm wondering what you guys think of this new layout... It's a bit on the werid side, but then so am I.
Cold Hard Bitch - A challenge entry (BF) representing "winter". I'm very pleased with it :D
Ticking Out - An attempt on displaying how the different characters reacted to the fear they felt when Brennan and Jack were buried alive.
Fight Them - A piece I've had in my head for so long, brought up to suface by a challenge at BF by SayJay.
Drown - I love the scene when Veronica comforts Logan. Had some fun with metaphors ;)
At Night - The first Moonlight piece - probably more to come! It's weird, but a part of me likes this piece.
Well, happy new years to all of you! I'll probably not update much for a few months to come - Read the layout as to why!
*hugs*
16th/17th of December
Do you know how happy I am? I have no more homework until January! It's three blessed happy weeks! I'm dancing (not just in a manner of speaking!). If you could see me you'd laugh your head of, because I really can not dance :D. As a result of this sudden (OK, kind of expected since I only have three school days left this year) freedom I have an pretty good update. If you're not blind (in which case you wouldn't even read this, so I know your not) I have a new layout up. I wasn't sure if I wanted to put up a Christmas-y layout seeing as it's possible it'll be left up until March. However, this is my favourite holiday, I couldn't let it pass un-noticed! Also, in my protest for all that is "traditional" I've gone with a ligh-green layout (not red, dark-green etc.). If you remember last year, I had pink hehe. Something that's similar to last year's is Tom Welling. It seems I have a Smallville-phase around Christmas every year... Wierd...Every section has been updated! I'm proud ^^. I've added more past layouts in Site. Added some resources, new link-me codes and one new affiliate. She's Swedish, woo hoo!
Finally, the art! I re-did the update-art-thingy because I just didn't like it anymore. Therefore, you get these new small thumbs to click on to view the new art-work (if you're too lazy to actually go over to the Art-section). I can also mention that I wnet through my enire gallery and sorted out the tuly gruesome pieces of art I had there! While I did this I counted how many I have up, which come down to the nice little number of 292 wallpapers (plus 4 wallscrolls).
Victim - I like the simplicity of this. It's cool (he's cool). Nothing special though.
In Your Eyes - The text is so perfect, why can't the piece be?! Hate, hate, hate the blending.
Trouble - I like this. I had fun when I did this and I love the image of F/G in the foreground.
Where Do I Begin - This is loooong. However, I like it (all exept the end which is blah!). I think the text is so beautiful and kind of fitting...
Primary Colours - I love it when Chloe remarks on their choise of colours. I had to make a piece to honour it. Also, it's very Zugma inspired.
Those Three Words - I had so much trouble with the colour because the Lois image is very green originally, but it worked out.
Farewell - IMO, the words are perfect. I tried to go for some sort of old-fashioned Hollywood feeling and get that panorama view.
On a Mission - I think this is one of my best comic-book pieces ever. I love the bright colours and it is one of my favourite Smallville scenes.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - I'm very pleased with this. It turned out way better than I though it would. And I just love it when Welling gets to play evil/bad, he's so good at it!
Clouds - I like it. The text is perhaps a bit on the boring/too much side of life.
A Word - I've just stared re-watching Veronica MArs again and I just love Logan. Something about this scene just got to me.
Truth About Love - Ok, so it's a bit of a strech but do you get the pun? "The truth about love". Anyway, I was gonna have another text (which refered to time ergo the clock) but changed my mind. It could probably have been better, but worse too I guess.
If you made it through, I congratulate you! If not sooner, I'll be back Christmas with more updates.
22nd of November
An update! A miracle! Seriously, yes, I do have time for the occational art-work. However, a whole update is rare with my schedual. Now, I've been ill for a few days and a lull in school work has lead to this rarity. A lot of Alias art. Which really isn't such a surprise since I've been lying and watching Alias non-stop for four days (and some before that too)... Oh, and I have to add: The Hives rock the World! I adore them! Go Sweden!!River - I like it and I hate it. Can't seem to make up my mind :/
Lullaby - I'm surprised at how well this blended. Yes, it looks sort of funky, but it works. And JJ's brushes rock! (JJ rock really...)
To My Heart - Love this song. Worhsip it! I hadn't really thought of how well it fits this scene and how they feel at thip point in their relationship. I really like it (except the colours - they clash).
Reason to Hate - Very JJ. Very fun and ironical since it's made for Bre's challange where you're supposed to deplict something you hate (and something you love).
Tainted love - For the same challenge as above. Like the cigarette, the rest is blah.
All I Want - Wallscroll number three. Worst so far if you ask me.
Ron Weasley - I'm really satisfied with this. HAve no comments, it's an OK piece.
Dolores - Hate her, like the piece. Pink/purple overload :D
Place Called Home - Realised how well this song fits Harry and artted it. Semi-like.
House - Me like-y! Filled with some weird stocks (one of my friend lying in a hospital bed). Really like how I solved the whole text-issue.
That's it for now. See you in a month or so ;)
1st of November
Happy Halloween! I love Halloween, sadly I haven't celebrated this year but it's OK. I did dress out in school (mid-eval dead woman, but everybody mistook me for Little Red Riding Hood) though, so I guess I celebrated a bit. Anyway, You might've noticed the utter lack of updates and new things the past two months. I have one word for you: School! I just started the gymnasium (it's sort of like high school I think) and it's so much work. I go to one of the "best" in Stockholm (the class I'm in had a GPA of 310/320p...) and though it's fun and I love it, it doesn't give me much spare time for this. To add to the "misery", Internet on my computer's down so I have to use the main computer - which I hate.This new layout I have up (which I'm allready bored with...) is supposed to show how I feel. Anyone who's watched Gilmore Girls should remember how Rory felt when she first stared Chilton. More work than she could've ever dreamed of. Though my work load is manegable, it's still hard. So, that's the explanation for that. In addition, I have a new affiliate, a new SOTM and new art.
Chris/Galathea of Salt'n Burn is my new SOTM. I love her art! Adore it actually. Ich liebe! (Hehe) So that's that. My new affiliate is Amy's Sweet Escape - go, it'll be worth it! (Though read my incredibly boring update first - if you please.)
As you'll soon discover, I'm re-watching Alias. I had forgotten how it's actually quite good... Anyway, most of my art are for challenges at Buffy Forums (though none of the Alias stangely).
Like Never Before - I've never done a piece like this before. I guess it's sort of Nikki/Chris inspired (used a lot of Nikki's textures...). I'm really pleased with the result and I think the text fit great (which doesn't always happenfor me).
For Me - Eek! I had areal problem with the big cap of Sydney since most of her face was in shadows...
When We Touch - Deffinetly my favourite of this load. Done in the same way as I did "Like Never Before", I think the fact that I didn't use the whole canvas gave a more mysterious (and romantic) feeling.
The Loirelai Gilmores - Had the idea for this since I first watched Gilmore Girls, just never got around to it. Until now. Extremly simple, I'm a bit disappointed of how it turned out.
Satellite of Love - Love this song. Because of when it's played on GG, it always gets me thinking of Rory and Dean. This piece is weird and Anna-inspired.
Pleased - Made for a challenge at BF (Hola! Guten Tag) where you're supposed to use a language other than English. Being Swedish I chose Swedish - weird huh? Again, this is very Anna-inspired (in a different way than the previous of course).
Sleep Well - Sadly I couldn't include the whole lyric, then you would see how disturbingly fitting it is for Meredith/Derek. I hate this wallpaper though.
O Captain! - Best movie ever! Such a great scene, and I really like how this turned out.
To Be - You know the scene in Buffy season two (Bad Eggs) when Buffy and Xander do grossed out noises over what's in the egg...
Mr. Cool - Again for the Hola! Guten Tag challenge. I quite like this piece. Of course I love him ;)
Wow, the length of this update almost makes up for my absence (almost...). Anyway, before you go I have a little present, so if you'll just go here...
