Awkward mini Fall break begins. A lot of people are leaving, which is both good, and lonesome. My roommate left while I was at class, but she left a note. Fumiyo is so cute. I <3 her. Next semester I want to take Japanese, and she can be my tutor. :D Apparently Latin doesn't count toward the Foreign Language requirement because it's not "conversational." Whatever. I've been enjoying retaking it. The teacher this time around is great; no creepy awkward teachers like in high school. Totally aced the exam today too.
Fa la la la FALL! Autumn... mmm... <3 I turn 22 in less than a month-and-a-half. That's weird.

1:51 am - from Tumblr
|
Long day is long. I love being in Oneonta, but after three months of summer solitude, it’s a bit of a culture shock to be surrounded by wonderful people and their terrible drama. And as usual, none of the drama involves me, but it involves good friends, and I can’t do a thing to help. Though even if I could, I wouldn’t because I don’t want to get involved. Just… still. It’s upsetting for the slightly empathetic me.
Classes are good though. Jill and I did our first practice assignment in Latin tonight. I remembered more that I thought I did. I feel so delightfully nerdy for wanting to go back and translate more sentences. I also finished rereading Alice in Wonderland for Fantasy Lit. I had forgotten how much I love that book. And it’s so Felixy! Victorian Lit was cool today. Dr Tredennick still totally rocks. I chatted with her for a bit after class. She’s an Edward Gorey fan too! Not suprising though, but awesome.
A not so fun part of today though was in the bookstore when I learned at check-out that my debit card had expired months ago. Yeah. I mighta felt a bit stupid on that one. I got it sorted out. It’s still stressful though. I’m scraping for money and it’s not enough.
So hey—anyone need any commissioned art?

I feel like most of my entries are "Hey, I'm heading back to school/home" or "Hey, it's another break/vacation from school." Well this is a heading-back-to-school one. Moving back Sunday~ I'll be living in Hulbert, with Alex as my RA; I'm gonna have too much fun with that boy >:3
As for classes, I'm taking three literature courses, and Latin. I'm also currently signed up in Sculpture, but I'm looking to drop that. It's hella expensive and lately I've been having trouble with school-assigned work.
Eh... nothing important. Updating for the sake of updating.
Hey, is anyone on Tumblr? Join meee.

10:43 am - I seem to squeal too much lately
|
I went out to check the hydrangea for any more caterpillars (though they all seemed to disappear since I took pictures), but was very surprised to find something else instead.
( What could it be! )
Three weeks left in Hamburg then off to college for one more year. Today I'm feeling a bit blah, but I'll probably plug along on Chromatic Paradise some more. I got a really handy set of Photoshop brushes from deviantART. Makes the shading more bearable.

Tangent Magazine finally got back to me, two and a half months later. I had sent them some writing and art to be considered for publication. I think I wasn't accepted or forgotten about, but I finally heard back from them!!
In regard to "Monkeys Live Next Door to Me." -- "This was a truly unique and entertaining piece that really stood out among our batch of submissions."
TOTAL ego boost right now. They also want to print "Safe Sailing...", but they'd have to print it in black and white. But squeeee!! :D

5:21 pm - History of the dragon world
|
This is about 11 pages of major historical points in my fantasy universe. There's no expectation at all for anyone to read this. But I figure if even one person is curious, well, here you go (pardon any grammatical and spelling errors):
( Read more... )
Check out my deviantART gallery for related art and a post briefly explaining the world physics and types of elemental creatures.

10:54 pm - Meme from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) atomicfiction

Reply to this meme by yelling "words!", and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of esoteric/oblique.
1. Forest
I've always had a fondness for trees and woods. My family has been camping since I was little, and I loved being completely immersed. The natural world is very soothing and relaxing for me. I love sitting among trees and listening, and for a cheesy moment I feel "connected." I'm Agnostic, so the idea that all of this came to be by coincidences is amazing.
2. Machinery
Steampunk!! And one of the things I suck at drawing. When I was younger, I'd get this strange visual in my head whenever I was really sick. It involved this massively heavy, dark and grinding machine. In the middle of it was a very delicate flower about to be crushed. Very scary, but the efficiency of machinery certainly makes one wonder in awe.
3. Devils
Creatures of the Death element and children of Myeviule! But that's my use of that word. I should probably change it to something else before any of my work is ever published. I'm not religious, so I don't believe in Satan or anything like that, but I've had a fascination with the mythologies around him since I was little.
4. Morality
A complicated topic, without a doubt. You can be a morally well-adjusted individual without God. Appreciate life and be respectful, or at the very least civil. So much unnecessary drama because one thinks the other is wrong and refuses to acknowledge the entire scope of things.
5. Darkness
It's soothing for my eyes. There's such a thrill during storms when the power is cut and your suddenly pitched into blindness. Like "Booyah! Where's your mastery over the elements now?" Darkness is a very gentle element in my fantasy universe, with the exception of Bharvili. He tries to equate darkness with nothingness, which isn't true.
...I feel like my responses weren't very...cohesive?

Hey, look at that, it's the summer. The semester ended on a crazy note. I survived but I know I didn't get another 4.00. Whatever. It was a valuable learning experience regardless! Next semester is an interesting line-up. Sculpture, Latin, Victorian Lit, Fantasy Lit, and English Lit early to Renaissance. Three english classes? What am I doing...
As for the summer, I'm doing an at-home independent study that I have named "Fantasy Universe Creation." In other words, all those years spent on my dragon world are finally being put to use for school. Yay! So expect a lot of concept art to come out of this. I'm pushing myself to focus on the major holes in my skills, primarily environment/landscape and architecture. I'll also be writing a lot, since this summer's work will ultimately culminate as an illustrated encyclopedia.

3:44 am - Mug Madness
|
First assignment in Digital Paint is to draw 100 mug pictures. Due by Monday. I started Wednesday evening and I'm at 73 now. This is insanity, though it's also been fun. Once I have them all done, I'll compile them and post on deviantart. In the meantime, I have to show you the latest one. I feel like this is a crime against nature some how.

Someone else's fail is no longer funny when it encroaches on your personal space. Thank you, room down the hall, for neglecting the milk in your fridge over break and letting it go bad. Really really bad. The whole hall and stair well reeks. Mmmm...
Hey hey, I'm back in Oneonta.
