The Fearow fanlisting is now open! I’m quite proud of the illustration on the right, I should put that much effort in all my art.
I SHOULD DRAW MORE AND MORE AND MORE

also the Hall of Changes got a new layout which may be my best ever so far. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I’M PRODUCTIVE AS OF LATELY

30+ IN CONTEMPORARY ART HISTORY FUCK YEAH. Especially because much of this success was determined by me making a large painting inspired from the work of Francis Bacon. The teacher was so impressed he even gave me a free book. So apparently my childish and anatomically impossible drawings are worth a 30+ and a free book. In your ass. :>

Even though I shouldn’t be taking such people too seriously, maybe I should really try and write down my views on art, especially as to why I deliberately choose to draw roughly and mostly ignoring anatomy. It’s not like I’m not able to make beautiful realistic drawings, you know. I just found a bunch of old stuff including a self-portrait I drew at fifteen and man, it does look nice. I’ll be scanning all that old stuff from 2004-2005 - those drawings that got lost with the HD failure and some which went lost ages before that (including the Sneasel pic who graced the very first layout of Angeltower Page). I’m also rescanning my old Pokémon comic whose pages seem to be currently located in the dark side of the interwebs - I even found some unpublished pages, so you may be in for a surprise.

And talking about comics, I’d really like to make another Pokémon comic. I’ve already been planning it out. It will be a comic divided in three or four short episodes each one focusing on a different aspect of the relationship between Pokémon and people.
The first one will take place before Pokémon and people became two different species and it will be about a little girl and his grampa. The old man discovers he can keep his niece’s life energy in a ball he created out of an Apricorn, so they play together with this toy - except that, with the passing of time, the old man becomes more and more scared of his child outgrowing their game, and ends up becoming eerily obsessive…
The second one will take place in the present and will be about a Trainer and a Fearow who fall in love for each other, thus compromising the whole training system and posing some interesting question on their relationship.
The third one will be about a “real world” girl playing Pokémon and getting emotionally attached to the creatures.
I do seem to have a predilection for real weird stuff. In case you were asking. :P

Also, I just got approved for the making of the Fearow fanlisting! Yeah Fearow. It took me a whole ten years to understand its greatness |D Sneasel is sticking to the position of favorite Pokémon ever, then Mewtwo, Porygon-Z and Fearow in no particular order. The fanlisting’s name will be Soaring Dread and it will feature an illustration of mine in the layout. I PROMISE IT’S GOING TO LOOK NICE

As for the new Hall of Changes layout I changed idea three times, then got what looks like my best layout ever. It looks so awesome that I cannot believe it was me to create it. It will feature Samus and the Orion Nebula! What can possibly go wrong? :D

Anyway, this post was really about…ME SINGING KAZE TO ISSHO NI. DUN DUN DUUUN. I would have posted Niji ga Umareta Hi too but the laptop mic wouldn’t record the high-pitched scream at the end which was supposed to show my leet singing skillz. Hahaha. As you will have understood by now, the recording is quite low-quality, but I’m so awesome so it should not be a problem. SARCASM.
Here’s the recording. My voice does sound weird in places but that’s because by the “ikutsomono deai, ikutsumono wakare” I was crying like a baby. Kaze to Issho Ni always gets to me. :<

Let me end this entry with my latest weird dream. Involving me saving a beautiful woman with long fair hair by a number of weird situations throughout some really colorful and detailed worlds. And having hot sex with her afterwards. Ten times. And because this dream was half-lucid, I could make her boobs larger whenever I wanted to. My dreams are, indeed, better than yours. Live with it. XD

hay guys, I’d like to ask you a few questions about a few issues I can’t make up my mind on.

I’ll be working on the new artfolio very soon. Should I call it Blind Dreaming or something else? Mind that blind-dreaming.net’s index page is going to stay as a gateway leading to this blog, the collective and the artfolio and that I already have a list of possible names in case I choose to not name the artfolio after the domain, so tell me.

Also, does the layout of the Hall of Changes look unfinished? Do you think it looks good as it is now or that something is missing? To me, it looks like it should use a background in the upper left corner to give it some more depth, but again, I don’t know if you actually like the simple look. Don’t take me wrong - I am very pleased with the colors and the overall organization, plus the layout uses an artwork I am very satisfied with. It’s that I don’t know if I should have stopped there. Please be honest while replying to this post, I need your feedback.

In the meanwhile, have an artwork:

I’ll be posting some PG-13 Volkner and Flint artworks later, under a cut. They’re not incredibly explicit and shouldn’t offend the sensibility of anyone I know, but I don’t want to slam them into your face either, so.

The Hall of Changes is up :D this was faster than I thought. I’m personally pleased with the result; hope you’ll like it too. Have a look around.
I also edited Blind Dreaming’s index page to show the domain’s recent changes (pun not intended).

now I can sleep a happy night

So you all know about how much I’m concerned with artists’ rights and you know how much I get mad when I see artworks re-used without the author’s permission. On this matter, I just found a short yet precise page about copyright issues. A quick read, but a good one for sure.

Now to the artwork!

HI THERE SAMUS, HOPE YOU DON’T MIND BEING OBSESSED OVER
in case you were wondering yes, this was made with a tablet at school. This makes also me think of how much I have recently improved. I mean, look at my first attempt in drawing her in armor, and that was made about two months ago! :O

faceless Samus is faceless

KAREN, MY OTHER LOVE
This was made without reference, so I may have gotten some details wrong. I like her face though.

there has been a shortage of Sneasels, I hear. Let me fix that.

Yesterday I was writing a page for Dark Claws about Sneasel and its relation to the kamaitachi, the Japanese weasel demon. I couldn’t find any good image to put in the page, so I made one myself; I’ll show you the finished page later. Anyway, I really like how this one turned out. KAMAITACHI GO GO GO

Also, as for Clear Bell I went back and added a revamped Suicune sprite to the codes page. :) Again, scroll to the bottom of the page to view it.
Talking about fanlistings, I’ve actually chosen the name of my next collective. It will be called “Hall of Changes”, as a reference to a zone of my favorite dungeon in Oblivion. Sure a step forward from Yuki no Namida as a name, isn’t it? I’m planning to make the first layout dark crimson and purple, reminiscent of the deepest area of Brinstar as shown in Super Metroid.

You may have noticed that I’m feeling better. I guess I’m recovering from my failure.
By the way, in the end a classmate of mine found my pencils. :)
