Somehow, the Summer here in the Hollandlands is really disappointing. As if Spring turned into Autumn and skipped a season. I had high hopes for August after much rain and wind in July, and it has improved a bit, but definitely not as much as I had hoped.

Happy news: I cleaned up my DA completely now. Removed all the old stuff from the featured folder and made other folders to make things easier to sort.

Other news: the Boyfriend's tablet is still kidnapped and after a period of drawing a lot of traditional stuff, I have began experimenting with the digital media again.

Also, all of my OCs are finally getting a place to live together. The First World and the Second World are currently under construction. Basically, the First World is a high fantasy world, with humans and various elf-like humanoids and where magic and gods are a common thing. In the Second World magic and gods are rare, in stead steampunk-like technology is common.



And that was all...

Since it is no longer Autumn (it's Spring already!), I figured a new journal entry would not hurt.

At the moment I am cleaning up my DeviantArt account a bit and I am relearning how to use a tablet. I have kidnapped the Boyfriend's tablet for the week since mine does not want to work properly anymore... v.v So I guess I should start saving some money to be able to replace my old Graphire 4 in the near-ish future. On the brighter side, I am having a lot of fun with Paint tool SAI and I am gaining a lot of new digital drawing skills. I think.

That would be all for now I think!

Together with all the wind and rain it brings and November!

And november brings: NaNoWriMo! www.nanowrimo.org/ This year I am participating again (my third year!) and even though I am already behind schedule, I am not planning to give up! I will get to those 50K words on November 30th. This year I have thought of a new idea; making a novel of several shorter stories. I hope that it will work out better than sticking to one large story.

To stay in the Autumn theme, I have uploaded four new photos to celebrate the season. ^^ Even though it is way too cold outside, I think autumn is really pretty.

Hmm, not much other stuff to put in this journal at the moment...

Some more drawings are going to be uploaded, soonish. Probably. I am working on a few, also some made with the markers I got as a birthday present. I love my markers, but it's still difficult to make a proper drawing with them, as I do have different colours, like light blue, but not a darker blue to use as shadow.

Does everyone has troubles actually writing these things regulary or am I just lazy? Anyway, finally time for a new journal entry.

Summer! I love the summer, such nice weather. Nice and warm, with the occasional rain and thunderstorms. We had some really nice temperatures here in the Hollandlands, though it's a bit on the cold side now.

Lots happened between now and the previous journal. I went to Dublin for a week together with my lovely boyfriend. Had a great time there! (We were really lucky with the weather, it only rained on Saturday morning.) Photos will come sometime soon, just like some old drawings I'm too lazy to put up here.

I also changed some furniture in my room! I actually have a proper desk now, with a normal height. I also have a new book closet thing, and a new closet to put my clothes in. You gotta love Ikea, my room finally isn't a chaos of randomly picked furniture anymore!

Other big news is that I just posted an application for a spot in one of the better raiding guilds on Argent Dawn. I read that they needed a holy priest, and seeing my current guild more or less disbanded, I figured trying to get in wouldn't hurt. It would be very awesome if I get accepted, it'd be nice to raid properly again.

And I got my 1337 pageviews today! Randomness.

And now for something more art related: I'm planning on making a web comic. At the moment I'm figuring out the setting, characters and plot. I really hope it's going to be awesome, looking forward to the challenge very much. Any advice and ideas will be very welcome!

Also, also, also! Castlefest will finally be there this weekend! I planned on making an awesome costum, but it seems that this year too I'll have to grab something together at the last moment again. But even though I won't be walking around in the most awesome costum, it's going to be awesome anyway! Omnia and Faun and Scrum are playing, all awesome bands. Also, Castlefest will be the new CD release party for the latest Omnia CD! Yup, it's going to be three awesome days!


So, that's all for today. I hope you could make anything from my chaotic and random rant.

Okay, one more time... CASTLEFEST!!!
