Tired XD

I’m tired nowadays XD I have my final exams in one week now, and I have been reading non stop for exams for about one month more or less. I have had to read, and have to read, around 50-60 pages each day for exams to finish in time. But right now it seems like I will be able to do it=) I have read all I have to for the first exam, and just have two books left for the second one=)

Other than that I have my own sewing machine now=) My awsome and kind mother bought it for my birthday=)

It is a Singer Promise, and it is just a basic machine, but I don’t really need anything else than that=) This far I haven’t used it much, but I have learned the skill of setting the machine XD And I have used it for the aida in cross stitching and I have also started on a shirt from the newest Burda style magazines:

But since it is exam times, and I am supposed to study, I have started to do everything else once again, so I am also working on other stuff!XD I have started to do more patchwork, and I am working on my first log cabin blanket!:

It is in a lot of colors, with violet stars in the middle, and color teams on the side=) I am still a newbie, and I suck at making it all become the same size XD I’m not good at being accurate XD

I still work on cross stitches as well, and I have gotten longer on my beautiful Halloween cross stitch:

But since it isn’t halloween times anymore, and I wanted to have a summer cross stitch, I brought this to work with for the time before exams XD.

I really love this cross stitch, and it remind me a lot of some Norwegian fairytales, as well as the crime book written by Andre Bjerke “Lake of the dead”. So this is perfect for my summer XD.

Other than that I am now a proud scanlator and loved on the net XD. Waiting for any releases here? Keep waiting XD Since I post none-worksafe doujinshies most of the time, so I won’t share it, so haha XD. I have translated around four Bleach doujishies now, and because of exams I have to wait a little before I can translate more.

I also draw still, and am working on coloring a character from my story, and I hope that I for once will get done with one of my coloring jobs XD.

I am also wondering about starting to work on my visual novel again, and wondering if the smartest thing would be to get someone to do the drawings for me? then I could focus on doing the scripting? But the best thing would be if I also got someone to do the sound and music, but I still want to do this without putting money into it XD I just want to have fun with this and make it happen, I have time, not money XD.

Also, saw the Avengers XD I sort of want to see it again just for all the fun and epic XD. You have to have done a movie franchise well, when I, the nut over norse mythology actually overlooks the faults you have in your mythology XD. No world, Loki and Thor is not brothers, Loki and Odin IS brothers through blood mixing . But still love it all XD And I have a fun game for all of you: look through all the Marvel movies leading up to this movie and see if you find a wild Stan Lee XD We did, and found him in all of them,

Screw moderating hobbies and just focusing on school!!!

PS: Would anyone read if I put up any chapters of my stories on this blog?

Quilting, Epla shop and new drawing equipment!

First off, I have opened a Epla shop XD I have two products for sale, but so far my profit plan does not look like it is going well XD. Well, maybe someone will buy something later? Or I might have to do more with the products? I think I might be able to sell one of them if I make it into a children pillow or something? My shop is located here. I might be able to sell better if I put on a frame too, but I thought it was less hassle with sending it if it wasn’t there XD.

Then I decided that I wanted to try drawing with soft pastel again! I haven’t done that since art school! And I think I were really good at it. It was really fun to draw colorful pictures on black sheets! I bought a basic kit with 12 colors, and a black colored sketch book! I also had to buy a fixation spray later, since the pictures fades easy by touch.

The first one isn’t done yet, since it was not smart to make a portrait when there is no real ability to make a good skin color in the kit. I have bought two colors now that I will use, so I might get it done later=) But the second picture I am really proud of! I used a picture on deviant-art for inspiration, but since it was just a test draw I allow myself the weakness XD. I wonder if I would be able to sell pictures like this? Maybe people would buy then XD?

Like I have told before, I got a big case load of quilting fabric from my aunt. I really didn’t think I could start with it yet, since I couldn’t even get more than 10 fabrics or something with me on the buss back to Bergen. But my mom sent me some of it in the post! So I have half of this now, and I have also bought some stuff from the Stoff & stil shop in Bergen! So now I have the scariest cutting blade ever (got my finger the first time XD) and a big ruler and big cutting board=) I went to fretex as well, and found two really good books on quilting! So I started on a starpillow, and I have worked hard on it in between school work=)

First there is four triangles, that are laid together into one Quadrilateral with the open sides up. (the Quadrilaterals that makes up the triangles is 7×4 cm, and around 0.6 cm on the top is pressed down before it is made into a trinagle.)

Then make eight ones, and put them out like on the picture above. (try a little more accurate than me XD)

Then eight more, for two more rounds.

After that make 16, and put out this way.

And 16 more once more XD. Yeah I know, I should really have been done before starting to make a sorry excuse for a tutorial XD.

Other than that I also found a Quilt store in Bergen! And even thou it is expensive, I will return there in the future, cause they have a lot of nice fabric! And also cheap sewing machine, something I really think I might need in the future now…

I also want to make a dress for a special little girl, but I just need to get this pillow done first, and wait till I get money to buy colorful happy fabric!=)

My new Wacom Intuos4 M!!

So I decided to scrap the idea of buying a Cintiq for a lot of money, and bought a Intuos for a lot less money=)

And I am in such a soon Christmas mood now that I keep wanting to draw a lot of christmas pictures! I have also ordered a few cross stitches I will stitch for christmas XD. I will post pictures of them when I finally get done with the one I am doing now.

I am planning a big picture I will draw for christmas! It will be little Noin, Mana and also Todd! I hope I can draw what I imagine it to look like ^-^.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is a great update from the one I had. It is bigger, with the usage area around a A5 side, and the pen has pressure support, and also a lot more pen nips for different sorts of pressure=). It has a lot of express keys, and also a touch circle for zooming! I also got to choose from three programs when I installed it, either one from autodesk, from photoshop or from corel, I took the sketchbook program from Corel=).

I am also working on coloring a picture of Mana, but it might be on hold a little while XD

Need… to… blog… something XD

Haven’t blogged for a little while now, and I just want to update with something XD Well, I have a iPad, and also a pogo stylus now! It is really easy to use for kanji practice on the ipad, but it is still a little hard to use it for drawing, but it works better than using my finger XD

It was a lot smaller than I had thought it would be, but that just makes it easier to hold.

I also found out that I can use it on my phone, so that was a little fun XD

I have drawn a little with it since I bought it, but not much really, but I will add some pictures drawn on the iPad since I got it ^.^

 

This picture I drew before I got the pogo stylus, and I am really proud of it! I never really draw people with that kind of hair, but it was fun XD I think I drew a really cool woman XD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next picture was the first I made with the pogo, and I were trying out the layers and colors a little. It is really easy and fun to play around on the sketchbook pro program, if you have a iPad I do urge you to try it out if you like to draw ^.^

This picture I made yesterday, after I have started on writing my story with Noin as the main again I just keep remembering that he is not always such a nice guy XD He can be really scary if it is asked off him. I will try to draw more of Noin in the future! And maybe start on the reapers comic again, as well as maybe put up some of the chapters here ^.^ I got the Manuscript program on iPad too, and it is really easy to use, I just have some problems with importing and exporting between ipad and computer XD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really like the things you can do on this. You can make pitches and also arrange a lot of character cards and stuff that is good to have when you do want to plan what you are going to write, and you can just send it over mail to yourself when you want to store it, and everything auto saves!!

Next month I will buy something to put my ipad in, so I can take it to use in school, and I might also buy the keyboard for it in the near future ^.^

In other news I have started to buy a lot of Shiki doujinshies XD I post them on the other blog as I get them, but my collection is growing so much that I had to buy new folders to put more in XD

I and my roommate took a almost two hour walk one day, and we took a lot of nice pictures! It was really fun, and I can’t wait for the spring to come so we can walk around a lot more!

I have been playing some pangya lately, but I will update with that here later, so I won’t say much now ^.^

And the most important news in the end! I have become a aunt again! My brother and his girlfriend just got their third adorable little heartbreaker! Now they have one boy (the oldest) and two girls! I regret not being able to spend much time with any of them when they grew up, since I lived away when the two first were born, and now I only see them around the biggest vacations… but I really love them all a lot! ^-^

Damn Filler material animes!!

I haven’t posted for a little now, have a free week. Just wanted to say it so people don’t think I have fallen prey to a army of spiders.

Well, first to mention what is awsome! The Grell scenes in the anime is always glorious! But Sebastian is getting meaner! (I think he felt bad and set up some tea… but still mean!)

But it was really mean of him this time! He got Grell’s hope up, and then thrashed them! First Sebastian is acctually really nice and arranges some afternoon tea for Grell.

(Of course he puts salt in it! I am happy he did, or I would suspect that Sebastian had hit his head or something bad…)

It seems that Grell has started taking photo’s so the rest of the episode is a angry Sebastian doing fanservice for Grell in order for him to take things he can not.

Then in the next episode, Sebastian is too cruel! Don’t take your hate out on innocent bystanders!!!

First, Sebastian pulls in Grell closer:

(Wah! I just can’t come over how cute Grell looks in this picture! The look on his face is adorable!)

Then he lifts him up bridal style!:

(Note how Sebastian’s face says: Yeah, I know I am good, I always get this reaction from people.)

Ok, by this point we all know what is going to happen, but Grell don’t! And he looks so happy! Wah!!! Stupid Sebastian then does this!:

He throws him trough a exploding door! T-T It is all so mean…

On other notes, the last episode came out last night, and is already subbed. I won’t spoil what happens, but I think that the anime script writing has been taken over by a Sebastian and Ciel fangirl…

But I am looking forward to the OVA at least… and the last ep did have a few seconds long scene with Sebastian giving the three shinigami’s tea…

Poor Grell is bored XD But I really hope there is no salt in the tea…

And other than that I drew a picture ^.^ Of woman Grell XD Yay!

Original Cosplay! Noin Celestine!

I am working with my first original Cosplay idea! It is my alter ego Noin Celestine, apprentice of the Destiny Lord (Yeah, I know only I will get that one XP)

My first design can be found here. But I have updated the idea a little, so the basic idea is this:

So the jacket itself is something that will have to wait until I have money, but I am going to start with the vest first. And I will continue with the rest when I get money.

I bought a pattern for a normal vest, but I will modify it as I go along XD The vest will be black (I even bought expensive fabric this time!) and the sides will be s deep red ^.^

I also found a japanese gothic magazine with a lot of great patterns. It wasn’t cheap, but I just wanted it. (And I felt a little bad for asking to tear the plastic off so I could see inside.) And I found at least two tings inside that I want to make, a really cute bunny, and a shirt that would be great for my Noin!

New stuff!

And I still suck at posting! Well, a really long time since I posted here last! But I will try to post more this time around.

I am currently back home for the vacation, and since I am a little bored I decided to start up my blog a little again.

This will also be my first blog post from my new iPod! Yay!

I have some real fun this thing! I have writing apps and all I need on one small machine I can take with me everywhere!

I have Manuscript for writing, and msn for chatting. Twitter and facebook! And also a lot of games and apps for learning japanese ^.^

Well, for now I will leave you with a preview picture of the character art for my new project: a visuel novel game based on my curse of the sinner story.

Info on the story can be found on my pages, and as I get more done I will add a own page for the game.

And if people don’t know what a visual novel is, it kind of lies in the name: it is called a game, but it is mostly a book set to images and sound. Some can change story pending on the players choices (hentai games is a good example) and some just follows a straight pattern (umineko and higurashi series).

Mikal:

Starting this one up again!

I know I have just used this mostly for school, but since my consept class is over now. (A long time ago) I won’t have to worry about what my teacher said about this being just for school!

So since I have turned my other blog into a site for doujinshies, I will try and post my stories and art work on this one ^.^I have an account at deviantart, but I will post the pictures here too ^.^ I will start with a random picture just to have some fun XD

I really like this picture, and it is one of the ones I am most pleased with without looking at too much reference pictures ^.^

Go Johan! ^-^

Last pictures for Gravity Unlimited

The year is over, and the task has come to an end, and I thought I should post the two last pictures I made for the task ^.^

I originally planned on making this the main poster for the idea, but I got told by Amanda that it wasn’t dynamic enough, and that I should keep working on a previous picture.

I don’t know if it turned out the best, but I am quite pleased with both of them ^.^

————————————————————————–

Well, this is it for Gravity Unlimited for now, as far as I know. I might keep working on it, and I hope we get a equally fun task next semester =)

Poster picture

I got told at the presentation that I missed a picture that could tell a little of what was going on without having text with it. I don’t know if this picture is good enough, but I at least think it fits under the name Gravity Unlimited.

I plan on trying to colour this in photoshop, and that will be my last work for this assigment, the painting is done, and I found out it would take too long time to try and make the 3D studio task in time. But I will also post a brief summary of the story for the game.
