Jun. 22nd, 2002 10:02 pmwell, first off, I did an oekaki: http://oekakies.com/p/brizz/p.cgi
or, alternatively: http://oekakies.com/p/brizz/19.png?229
and if you click the link above the picture, you can watch the video of how I made it.
I've realized you can see too much of her feet, but I'm pleased with it anyway, despite a couple flaws. 3 hours of work, I think. roughly that. And I did solid shading, which is a technique I'm rather fond of. only watercolors is in the shadowy thing around her. I wanted to do more with the background but I was a) slagged and b) not sure what to do.
much fun at party. although, believe it or not, I forgot to ask meghan. O_O I have problems.
but it was good. even though Emily had to leave for a babysitting job from 6:30 to about 9:15. gyaah!! luckily it was like, a block away from our house. rather convenient. Perin got me a Tori Amos CD: Under the Pink. Emily's presents are pending. lol. And David is getting some mysterious thing that he needs to buy in person after the fourth of july.
Really, really excited about going to New Hampshire. (see last part of this comment for details about Loch Lyme and my summer plans) A friend that we met there is going to be up for our second week, and she IMed me today and stuff. very, very cool. ::grin:: lol. I'm so longing to go. I keep getting Loch Lyme flashbacks. But Katie's kinda sad because we'll be gone the first two weeks of July, and then a few days after we get back David is leaving. crappy.
We dragged David with us to the mall though. He was kinda apprehensive about it, but we're not mall walkers--it was fun. he thought we were going to be girly and do clothes and whatever. Here's what we did: spent a very long time in B. Dalton (book store--I bought meself a copy of Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant. one of my favorite books, possibly my favorite Discworld. :D) Then we ate: I had a hot dog and they both had fries. We examined David's newly bought Moliere book, discussed the French songs that our crazy French teacher taught us, and made the shocking realization that the people sitting behind me in the food court were even worse than Katie and David (in terms of PDAs. Actually, they aren't public--just in front of me.) Then we went to Noodle Kidoodle for a while. (which I refuse to call Zainy Brainy. Sin!! SIN!! And I don't even believe in sin!) At first Dave thought this was silly, but we all ended up being nostaligic and having a very good time. Then we kinda wandered around in the music store. Sam Ash. thass it. And then we went to the Sweet Shop. where I actually did not buy anything.
We had major problems driving though!! AUGH!! First we had to get directions, and we did manage to get ourselves there, but then David missed a turn after we were in the parking lot and found himself in Valet Parking, and had to do this interesting 3-point turn-ish thing in the middle of the parking lot (we made the same turn on the way out and got honked at. this time the only thing that happened is that the valet moved over towards us and watched.) Then we had to park somewhere different from usual, which threw our navigator (Katie--the only one with anything resembling a sense of direction) off, so we ended up circling the whole mall on the way out, and getting hideously lost, and finally getting back onto the Meadowbrook Parkway. ::sigh:: Where there was traffic, but it's ok. We all got home safe. I hope David got home ok after dropping me and Katie off. . . he lives fairly close. . .
Ah yes, and I got a 98 on my math regents. YEAH!! :D :D :D And Katie got a 96. Whooo hooo!!
My finals are officially over. Chem was far better than expected, but then, I might be jinxing myself ;)
yay for summer vacation :D
Oh yes. I've also gotten Emily started on comic books! We lent her this whole huge stack: several secret files and origins (and one "Secret Origins of the JLA" which isn't one of the file ones, just several different origin stories), The Life Story of the Flash (of course), JLA: Year One, Birds of Prey, my two Batgirl collections, JLA: World Without Grownups, Young Justice: A League of Their Own, Books of Magic, BoM: Bindings, and Death: the High Cost of Living. :D A good start, yeah? ;)
She's going to have to buy herself the Sandmans, I'm afraid, because I'm not allowed to loan them out. Although some time I'll invite her over and she can start to read them--we can have a big comics-fest.
fun fun fun!
lol. ok. that's all.

Date: 2002-06-22 11:47 pm (UTC)Actually, I'm much more comfortable in the oekaki program than in Photoshop. I guess it's cos of practice. First computer drawing program I've ever used.
Anyway, thanks again ^_^ warm fuzzies!!
And the same to you!

btw, a million apologies for being a lazy whore about reading your journal. XP I'm a shmuck.

Date: 2002-06-23 01:53 pm (UTC)I think 'Jingo' had to be my favourite, though. And did you ever read the story Terry Pratchett wrote with Neil Gaiman?
no subject
Date: 2002-06-23 02:20 pm (UTC)Good Omens? Yes, I read it . ::grin:: It was so cool because someone on LJ (my memory fails, as usual) had told me, when I was saying how much I liked Terry Pratchett, that he wrote something with Neil Gaiman and I flipped. And then I mentioned it to my dad--and he owned it!! It was like, a miracle. lol. And now they're doing a movie of it and Terry Gilliam from Monty Python is directing. O_O It's like my dream come true or something. Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and Monty Python (although Gilliam isn't my favorite but that's ok) all in one.

Date: 2002-06-23 07:52 pm (UTC)(btw, I've just gotten up to the Diet of Bugs. Bwahahaha! It [the real one] came up as an Academons question, and Friedman read it as "worms", and our teacher always said "Vorms" [roughly. maybe vehrms would be better]. . . and everyone in Academons has had the same Eur Hist teacher, so the entire room yelled "Vorms!!".)

Date: 2002-06-23 12:44 pm (UTC)And good for you corrupting others to the comics side of the Force. Get her all nice and addicted and then become her supplier. Heh, that's what I did with Al...

Date: 2002-06-23 01:34 pm (UTC)lol. Yes. . . that's my plan. . .
Next I think I'll give her some of my JLA and JSA collections. . . I'm not sure what else. Robin: Flying Solo and a Nightwing. Either Ties That Bind or Darker Side of Justice. Much fun. Perin was having a good time listening while I briefed Emily on what I was lending her. . . maybe I can corrupt her next. . .
