FIRST THINGS FIRST: the

werewolfbigbang story I did art for has been posted! it is by the wonderful

tuesdaysgone, and it's really great, and it's about the mob, isn't that awesome? :D the master post is here! go check it out!!

SECONDLY: mcr has released some tour dates. O_________O the closest shows to me are the tabernacle in atlanta (may 11) and house of blues in orlando (may 18), and i think i'm going to try for the atlanta show. it's in the middle of the week (both of them are), which SUCKS, because i'm pretty much going to have to miss one or two days of classes, but i haven't seen mcr live and i NEED TO, OKAY. plus if i go to atlanta, i can probably stay with family instead of getting a hotel. cue freaking out about presale times and shit. oh god oh god oh god. *CRAZYFACE* i really wish i was home while they're in the pacific NW, 'cause i could totally justify going to seattle, portland, and maybe even vancouver shows. :( much easier to swing than down here.

thirdly: i'm about to present my sound design final project today, and so now all i have left is: a final exam in directing tonight, a final exam in history on wednesday, a final exam in sound on wednesday, and presenting my directing final project on wednesday night. SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE. so damn close. then i drop off my car with family and catch a plane home on thursday night. :DDDD

other news: super excited for the sing video, adam and tommy look like porn when they're kissing, frank is super hot all the time, that's all for now, BACK TO FINALS.

HEY GUYS. The first BBB fic I did art for has been posted! Working for Joy on Overtime, by the lovely and talented

ciel_vert and

theopteryx. I'm super excited to read the finished fic, because it was already really good when I read it the first time, and that was with scenes missing. So go check it out, because a Frank/Gerard Pretty Woman AU is just what this fandom needs right now. :D

My flist is fairly incestuous, though, and you all probably already know about this fic being posted. I love you guys.

In other BBB fic-related news, I've sent mine off to my beta and I've got all the kinks with the mix I received worked out, and everything is awesome. I just need to find time to finish and code everything around my cousin's graduation (tomorrow) and my sister's graduation (next week) and my grandparents being in town all the time between. Not much else happened today. My life is boring.

ps: I started reading Ours Is A Criminal And Uncouth Love earlier today and I've only read the first part and a half, but I already want to rec it. Frank/Bob, kinky and sexy and angsty prisonfic, my kind of thing. :P

1. The Periodic Table of Typefaces, which was passed around on twitter a while back but I just needed to mention it here too. AWESOME.

2. Pictures of bugs that I actually like! Sleeping insects covered in dew. Weird and alien and kind of gorgeous. (via @amandapalmer -- I know, I know)

3. Abandoned places: 10 creepy, beautiful modern ruins. I LOVE these photos. I haven't looked at them all in detail yet, but I think my favorite is the last one on the list, which is the teaser image as well. So pretty and yeah, creepy. (via tumblr)

4. The first

bandombigbang story has been posted, Winds Will Move Us Around by

maryangel200. Lovely and quiet, and pretty angsty too. I still need to download the mixes. (And I still don't have a posting date of my own. ughhh)

5. Daily Ampersands @ tumblr, which is very super cool. I love ampersands (a lot).

6. I posted this on tumblr/twitter last night, but it's a sketch I did during the first day with a model in life drawing. And speaking of life drawing, I need to get dressed and catch a bus before I'm late, ack! /o\

ps: when a milk carton says it will be good until the 10th, it should not be disgustingly sour on the 5th. I only bought it a few days ago! >:( ruined my breakfast.

pps: finished reading Nightswimming this morning and already I want to read Unholyverse again (which I read JUST before Nightswimming). It probably comes up the most often in my list of favorite fics to reread.

First of all, ART AGAIN. I kinda finished that Gerard/Mikey VMan sketch. Tried to fix Gerard a little, though probably not enough. And what is up with Gerard's GIGANTIC HAIR in that picture? Mikey's not nearly as easy for me to draw as Gerard is, for some reason, so he's kind of crap. At least this time I had an eraser and a pencil sharpener. Again, click for bigger.

( drawing! )

Anyway, today was pretty boring. I made the trek out to CVS for blank DVDs, and then I just came back and played a million rounds of sudoku while halfheartedly cleaning my desk and listening to The Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks by Christopher Brookmyre, narrated by Billy Boyd. I highly recommend this book (this audiobook especially, because BILLY! He does really great voices!). I think it's awesome. It's about a psychic and trying to figure out if and how he's tricking people, and it kind of delves into science vs religion as well, which I enjoy but may not be to your taste if you're really religious. But I can't really do much while I'm listening to audiobooks, I pretty much have to sit there and listen otherwise I can't pay attention. Hence the sudoku and finishing that drawing. I have about an hour of the book left to listen to.

After everybody gets back from improv (at 11, I think), we're going to film really quick (REALLY QUICK, OMG I FUCKING HOPE) and then I have to dash across town to the library and edit and burn a DVD (probably until the library closes at 1am). And I have to figure out how to return equipment at 7pm tomorrow when I have class from 5-7:30. They might possibly take it at 4:30 after my previous class, but idk. And if not, I have to leave class early. UGH I HATE THE CAGE.

blah blah blah, filmed some stuff today. feet hurt a lot. super tired. had that VMan photo open in a tab, so I decided to draw it.

this is just Gerard, but as you can see, Mikey's sketched in there (kinda) so I'll probably come back to it eventually. took me maybe a couple of hours. done in pencil. can't find my sharpener or my eraser, and for some reason I only used a dark and a light pencil instead of my whole set (idek, I'm really tired), so that's why it's kinda crappy. need to fix some things, like his weirdo cheekbone. and lips. and nose. and uh, blue sketchy Mikey (sry, Mikey).

( woo, art! )

even though it's uh, not the best, I feel really good about it. haven't drawn anything in AGES so... yeah. this was good. put on my streaming radio station from home and just kinda zoned out. needed that right now. \o/

shit, I just realized I kinda fucked myself over in terms of smudging.... I'm right-handed. oops.

1) The

bandgirlsbang fic I drew art for has been posted! Red Suede Shoes (walking two thousand leagues) by

nev_longbottom. Haha, I like that, first fic posted, no waiting. I was so impatient about posting my bbb. :P Anyway, it's long and I'm sure it's changed a lot since the draft I got (I'll have to make time to reread it now), but what I read was really great, and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though they aren't characters I normally read. I'm pretty happy with how my drawings came out as well. I haven't done an art challenge like that before and it was tons of fun.

2)

tuesdaysgone and I think we need a gang name, uniform, sign, and what else? Oh, colors!! GANG, ROLL CALL. we need a naaaame. somebody more creative than me, come up with it. hahahaha &you guysss; As far as gangs go, we pretty much win.

3) Tony and I sorted some of our shit last night, and I think we're better now. I can stop stressing. :P

I wanted to paint something, so I did. AND, I managed to do it well enough that the result doesn't weird me out. \o/ I have such issues with watercolor, dude. But I like this okay. This is mostly what I was thinking of the whole time I was on the beach.

( this is probably going to be my next epic project... )

breathing_x drew this amazing piece for my BBB fic, Three Cheers for Tyranny. I love their dark eyes, and the way their hands are touching, with Frank holding the gun. And I really love that Gerard's wearing the jacket Frank gave him. Go and look, because I love it so much and it's brilliant and amazing. I already said that, I know, but it is. :D :D :D :D :D

Ummmm, not much. But still something. Kind of a round-up of what I've been doing lately, projects aside. As always, click for ginormous versions. Oh, and a warning: all of my pictures lately are from my cell phone, which has an okay camera, but it's not good quality at all, so.... yeah.

( me (kinda...), lindsey, and frank. )

Ummm, yeah, that's it. I really want to practice drawing people without ref pics, so... that's kind of what I've been doing. Sort of. And hey, at least they look kind of like people, now. \o/?

ignore the fucked-up-ness of my layout right now. i got a CSS stylesheet and then tried to edit it and.... well, let's just say it would go way faster if i knew what the hell i was doing. just pretend it looks normal. hopefully it will by the end of this week. ANYWAY.

i finished my first drawing project. this picture isn't actually the finished thing, but my camera ran out of batteries on sunday, and the changes i made after this picture was taken are really small detail things that you probably can't even notice, and i'm impatient, SO. here's a picture. what do you think? click for full size.

( picture and stuff behind the cut )

i had tons of fun with

giddy_london while she was here this weekend. we stayed up laaaaaaate talking nonstop and stuff., and had really great food at a place called Corleone's and some not-so-great food at a burger joint that's usually better than that, srsly. anyway. fangirling in person! it's awesome.

also, i'm kind of in the mood for adorable!frank, especially after watching videos of pencey today. and leathermouth @ bamboozle last night, but for entirely different reasons. FRANK, SHAVE YOUR FACE, WTF.

( fraaaaaaaaank )

now i need to go down to the lab and do my film project, which is going to turn out shitty because it's due tomorrow and i didn't really have the resources or the motivation to do it properly.

I finally got DeviantArt to work for me at least semi-consistently, so I uploaded a few of the drawings I did like... I dunno, last quarter, over winter break, stuff like that.

1 Frank
1 Mikey
2 (and a half) Gerard

All in pencil; click through to deviantart to get to the full-size (which is kind of huge).

( drawings under here )

That's all for now. Oh wait. Check out this girl's art; she's in my color theory class and her stuff is consistently awesome. Also, this girl's photography. She's a friend of mine, and kind of super amazing.

I rented Death at a Funeral and Wristcutters, and we watched Death at a Funeral tonight. OMG that movie makes me laugh. "Si?" "-mon!" hahahahahaha. and now? LOTR WEEKEND ON TNT!!! I love it when they do this. yay, Frodo's alive! and oh look, there's Bilbo with his book! I love these movies so much.

art today was interesting, and fun. we did a drapery study, and I actually managed to finish mine in one class. lol! next week we're doing... um, something involving newspaper, colored paper, and watercolor paper. I still need to think of something for that. we're supposed to start it during the week for homework.

I've got 3 songs to choose from for the senior recital. I can choose two, or just one. choices are 1) Neverland by Suzanne Ciani, 2) Chopin's Nocturne op. 72 no. 1, 3) Cristofori's Dream by David Lanz (which is apparently kinda famous, but I don't know it. it's pretty, though). my friend has played Neverland and the Nocturne, and those are both sooooo good. I think I'm leaning towards them. Neverland is so nice and flowy and soothing, and the Nocturn is kinda mysterious and sad and dramatic, so I think together they're exactly what I'm looking for. I looked for the song "Panic In Me" from the Road to El Dorado soundtrack by Elton John, but the music book for that doesn't have that song listed! which is sad, because it would make such a good piano solo.

today in Sexualities we had to choose groups (of 3 people) for article presentation, and choose our articles. by the time the sign-up sheet got around to my group, the professional dominatrix article had already been chosen. lol! I've already read the articles and readings for that week, and it's gonna be interesting. hee!! although, the site the teacher recommends to learn about BDSM? I've seen better ones. LOL!

DIAL-UP WARNING: VERY PICTURE HEAVY. (picture-centric, really)

WOO, so, I finally (fucking finally) put my portfolio in the mail just now. It's all my pictures in a PowerPoint presentation on a CD with the raw jpgs, as well as an excerpt of The Citadel (I changed the names, of course). But I never got around to posting a lot of my pictures, and the ones I did post weren't always good quality (or.. finished). So, here they are.

( 11 pieces of art )

And that's the end of the artwork! OH, you might be interested to see this as well, 'cause I don't think I ever did get around to posting it. For anyone who might've read The Citadel while I was posting it, here's a diagram I drew of Orlando's Crawlers. (in the side view, it's off-center; it's not supposed to be. >.<)

( ...and one more )

That was fun to draw, haha. Amusing, that is. And if I ever start posting Escaping Blame, I'm going to redraw the photo Viggo takes and post it. LOL because the version I've already drawn looks HORRID. :P

So, um, yeah. That's it.

While I was writing yesterday, I got an image in my head that just wouldn't leave. I didn't bring my sketchbook, but today I tried to draw it in my notebook (so there's lines all through it, but oh well). It's not the greatest picture in the world, and it doesn't quite match up to the image in my head, but I'm pretty proud of it considering I didn't use any reference pics. \o/ I usually can't draw anything without at least something to copy from.

I took these photos with my phone, that's why they suck so bad. When I get home I'll take better pics.

I just found the little adapter card reader thingy so I can download all the pics I've taken with my cellphone! so, here's most of the pics. I only deleted the REALLY weird ones or the ones that just turned out black. so there's a lot of random and crappy pictures in here. LOL

( enjoy )

aaaaand that's it. was that random enough for ya? :D

eta: ok, that's not it. here's a couple random ones from vacation. these are higher-res.

ok, now i'm finished.

No icons yet, because I'm just experimenting. I haven't looked at any of the tutorials, but I tried out some of the tips people said over at

iconseeyou's icon seminar post. Here are two pics that I experimented with (warning: they're kinda big, lol), and a little blurb about what I did with them.
