Oh god look what I woke up into!

And last night it was completely snowless with assload of mist. When they said in radio that it was gonna snow I didn't really belive it would snow like this.

Whoaaa.
Also look at my awesome rabbit skin earmuffs!

I mean holy crap these are the warmest, softest and prettiest earmuffs I've ever had (they are also my first, but ignore that). And they were pretty cheap considering they are real fur, so they probably are cityrabbit or something.

And I finally got more time in WoW, so goodbye life for a while.

My hate against everyone is often misunderstood

Ooo, a rare public whine!
Certain things reminded me of this again, partly my new intern job, mainly because I have trouble understanding what our/my (not really) boss (but the guy who usually does the art and thus provides the qualitycheck on my art) is wanting from me. Except from okay art of course. He's either trying to be friendly and encourage me to get better at doing pixels (which is pretty hard since the amount of pixelart I've done before this is so small it wouldn't satisfy a fly so I'm in the state that I can't even see what's wrong in my pixels, let alone satisfy any gods of pixel with my 16 colours) or then he's trying to piss me off. I'm microscopically veering to the "encourage" side, but I'm not sure yet.

I'm also having trouble understanding the concept of "vent art" (How do you do it? Why? Aside from releasing steam obviously) and having emotion in your art. Can you put emotion in to your art if you don't feel any while drawing?

Awww, Music Meister you are such a darling, especially since it never seemed to occur to you that you were probably bullied because my god your eyes are a pair of notes and not because you sang in the chorus.

Did you know that I actually have a The Batman OC? Well yeah, I actually do.
She's actually kinda workable so I might transfer her to my superhero comic at some point, or not.

Maybe one day I'll feel bad for creating superheroes this stupid but I ain't feeling it yet (at least much).

This comic tells a magical adventure from my youth and the reason why Jenn's name is Jenn today.
I generally don't like having characters with the same name as my friends, if I can help it anyway. Niinjoo Maura olen sinulle vielä auki vitosen.

And have a small Etrigan speedpaint.

Latest thoughts and happenings from this weekend

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:30:32 GMT

Oh yay, I got another variation of "It's my STYLE!" today again.
After all, willing suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

I've also noticed that I really LIKE blue pictures but always USE red myself.
Not to mention that four of my fifteen icons sport blue people.

I was supposed to do lots today but in the end did nothing.

For some reason the left side of my jaw REALLY hurts again, and I don't know why.
I can still pretty much eat though.

My grandma had an heart attack and is in critical condition
(wheter she dies or not this is spelling another awful meeting in some way)

Why does this piece of crap of a computer seem to get SLOWER everytime it updates?!

I bring beauty to the world every day

I have to confess that I've never really understood the appeal of striped trousers.

For our, uh, school concept... thingy... course.

For Vipi blog

And Regia. Needs moar gore.

I... I'm not sure what exactly reminded me of this but...

THIS IS ME FROM MY SKETCHBOOK/DIARY ERA 2005. IT HURTS, MOTHER.

I guess this was some sort of equivalent to fursona seeing how I couldn't draw humans so I drew myself like this. Because I was lazy. Not that I knew what a fursona was, but...
If you behave well, kids, I'll show you how I drew humans too.

I pity the foo who doesn't respect dramaturgia!

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:46:54 GMT

Oh boi oh boi, did I have the most wonderful short class about storytelling and storyboarding!
And like the teacher said, the easiest way to ruin your life is to study movies. It blows up your mind and prevents you from actually enjoying them. So it should be applied in small doses only.

I'm swamped with work (so sorry Ksi I'm doing my job I swear!), I got a new job to illustrate a poem book (we'll see how that goes) but the writer told me it can wait since I have school and interning and all that, also I'm doing pixul arts for the revised Iron Snake (which is going to be a LOT of work) and I've a novel to illustrate (should be finishing them arts already) and my own thingie of a diploma work.
But I'm a stress free individual so I'm just chilling in the breeze.

Also I'll get a more or less wanted visit tomorrow, so I had to spend all day cleaning and tomorrow we'll just watch Predator to educate the poor girl (yeah! I even unpacked Arnold again) though I should be drawing but what the heck, I'd just sleep anyway.

Some stuff I doodled to remember.. um.. those camera view... sizes? Whatchamacallit.

I hate how my scanner only scans in gray (without freezing in the middle)

For Atomicfiction's challenge to make a devilsona, though I didn't really try that hard with the design, it's very similiar to his.

And in the end, everything ends in subtext.

Jokainen aamu, jokainen ilta

Haven't really gotten much done, I just can't seem to find energy to start anything, be it important or not.

And all good things end in flaming shrews

SUOMALAISILLE:
Alan nyt häpeilemättä mainostaa MoiPalia http://www.moipal.fi kun nyt jouduin sinne työharjoitteluun.
Luokaa oma hahmo ja pistäkää ystäväkutsu tahi jotain.
Oman hahmoni nimi on Snifu

It wasn't until today that mom noticed I had deliberately scratched my arm. She said she'd report me to some mental institute if I didn't stop this. Yeah, riiight. Good luck with that since I've never actually started it.

All I wanted was a piece of the night

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:23:31 GMT

I saw 9.
It was, how you say...
EXTREMELY FANTASTICALLY AWESOMESQUE DEATH MACHINE SUPERMOVIE YEAH!!
And there was some really neat lights there which I am envious of.
I loved the characters because, well, it was obvious they were going to do the "oh and all these characters will show some distinctive/stereotypical personality trait hurr hurr" but all and all they had some pretty belivable behaviour, at least those who had the spotlight and weren't killed in the next second.
The biggest problem with this that it had so much action in it that it kinda ate the room from the characters (nine is pretty big cast for a thing like this) and the plot which was pretty simple (let's go save that guy oops the bad guy woke let's kill it). And though I looooved the Winged Beast and Seamstress I think it would have benefitted the movie story-wise to have one smaller, recurring bad guy and then the final, bigger bad guy instead of three small bad guys that are chopped off after one appearance.

So it really didn't have much calm spots, and those that it had were used mainly to get on with the backstory, but on the otherhand it really wasn't boring or dull in any point, and there were NONE irritating comic-relief characters or forced stupid jokes or references to mainstream things. Which I praise any movie god there is. And the mood, general idea, design and monsters were awesome which makes me forgive the storytelling mishaps there was. (And I watched it in theatre.)

So it wasn't as good as Coraline when it came to story but seeing that the last movie I saw in a theatre was Transformers 2... Yeah, 9 goes WAY over THAT.

And damn the twins were cute, like tiny jerboas. So have OOC fanart speedpaint. Click for big.

It's only forever, not long at all

Wallpaper Meme
- Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper.
- Explain in no more than five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
- Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

It's a sea of meat, what's not to like?

Ai niin, menen katsomaan "9" ensi lauantaina äiteen kanssa!
Ja ha, viime lauantaina kutsuttiin poliisit kun rakas naapuri piti "tupari" bileitään siinä kahdentoista aikaan yöllä kun hiljaisuus in klo 10. Eikä ollut mitään pientä bassojumputusta vaan kaikki sanat Rihannan ja M.I.A:n teinixlauluista kuului koko asuntoon.
Ja aluksi ne sopivat keskenään että ihmiset saavat jäädä asuntoon nukkumaan mutta musiikki lakkaa heti mutta ilmeisesti toiset juhlijat alkoivat vittuilemaan joten poliisit pisti kaikki tilataksiin jonka aikana rappukäytävässä kuultiin nämä legendaariset lauseet
"Ei mulla ole avaimia kotiin!"
"Mut hakattiin miltei kuoliaaksi Koivukylässä mut poliisit ei tulleet, mix te nyt tuutte tänne pilaa meidän kotibileet?!"
"Ja multa on varastettu kaks pyörää!"
"Jos jotain haittaa meidän melu ni tulis ite valitaan!"

Ja kun sitten joku pidätettiin pihalla niin sen tyttöystävä tahi vastaava (ilmeisesti se joka "hakattiin miltei kuoliaaksi Koivukylässä") alkoi kirkumaan ihan hysteerisesti ettei sitä miestä saa viedä maijaan ja sen mieskaverit joutui pidättelemään sitä. :D
Saa nähdä milloin tulee seuraavat bileet naapurissa.

Huh, my arm hurts now.
Here's couple "8 bittys", Mr. Stagger and Atomicfiction's Dreamer devil thing.

Muuutta se kirja oli hyvä. Kannessa pari häiritsevää kohtaa mutta muuten.

Oli myös hauska lukea kritiikki meme jutun vastauksia, ironisesti kaikki kehuivat niitä asioita joita itse pidän huonona eikä kukaan maininnut niitä asioita joita itse pidän ongelmallisina, esim käsiä. The more you know.
Mutta yleisenä erillisenä valitusaiheena oli liikkeen ym mielenkiintoisuuden puute joten se on kai se suurin ongelma (yllätys, olen yrittänyt vältellä tähän paneutumista). Pitäisi kai ottaa mallia muilta ja katsella vähän tanssi- ja voimisteluvideoita YouTuubista.

ON OTHER NEWS I've been watching Die Schule der kleinen Vampire which is strangely addictive because I understand enough to make it really confusing at times, thank you six years of learning deu-GERMAN. Seriously, the only thing it did was brainwash me to say "Deutsch" instead of "German/Saksa". Anyway I really like the fact that the butler is straight from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Today was also light dramaturgy, which was only halfly boring so I didn't fully finish the third issue of Shroo Comix but I did scribble.

We watched part of Rumblefish, thus this

And couple concepts for our four day Java coding game. Everyone seems to like the cow.

Aaaand I really REALLY REALLY want this as a pet someday! A BIRD MOUSE! (You really can buy these as a pets and I hear they are really sweet.)

Because....

1) Give an example(s) of something you do not like about my art, or something you would like me to change about it

2) Now tell me something (or some things) you like about my art

3) Any suggestion on what I should work harder/try to focus on/try to improve?

4) Something specific I should be trying next? Or anything else you got to say?

5) Have any favorite example of my art? If so, why do you like it most?

6) Any least favorite? Why don't you like it?

Comments are screened. At least I think so.
