Updates, Phuriedae, and BULGES!

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 4, 2009, 9:03 PM



Updates and Phuriedae!

So, as promised, the prints have been deactivated and will not be reactivated.

I've got a couple of big WIPs that are sitting on my desktop waiting to be done. This is my year, I think, for really EPIC paintings. Also, I really want to be pushing myself as hard as possible since I intend to start sending out inquiries to various art directors at companies I'd like to work for. No offense meant to anyone, but I'd like to eventually stop taking private commissions unless I really want to. They don't pay well, usually, and don't really advance me professionally, and I find less and less personal satisfaction in them. Oddly, the idea of working for a company who basically tells me what to paint doesn't really bother me as much. Go figure.

This Saturday (two days!) *LouisaGallie is flying all the way from Scotland to visit me for a couple of weeks. I'm really excited and we're already talking about possibly doing some collaborative art pieces, and I'm going to show her how to make masks. We met several years ago, via dA and our mutal love for Labyrinth, and she's like my soul-sister now. Getting to hang out with her in person is going to be loads of fun. I'm probably also going to take her to Disney because, sorry, EuroDisney? Not the same thing at ALL. (Yes, this is her first trip to the States.)

So if my gallery fills up with close up pictures of Jareth's bulge... I'll apologize in advance.

Speaking of bulges, how about a bulge feature!

Bulge Feature!

Nice collection, I have a couple of them in my own collection :D

I'd like to suggest something and hope I don't offend you. You may want to change "La fantastiques" to "Les fantastiques". La is feminine singular and you want to keep it neutral and plurial ;) Free french lesson :giggle:

I hope you get a job you enjoy! I don't know how I would feel about drawing what a company told me to. I miss my old high school art classes sometimes because there are times I don't know what to draw. But if I were to work for someone that told me what to draw, I would worry that I wouldn't have time or want to draw what I wanted to.

Have fun with your friend!! :w00t: I've been wondering why his highness hasn't bugged you lately for a portrait.

Bulges!! :blush: Melissa, you always make me blush with these yummy guys!! :drool: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some features to ogle and then a cold shower to take! :lol:

He's not been bugging me for a portrait because I'm nearly 65,000 words into a Labyrinth fan fic... and it's just over the halfway point in the story. *sigh*

it's not posted yet. It's very long... and complicated... and not your typical labryinth fan fic. Trust me, when I start posting it, you'll know.
