ate a scorpion ... @.@'

I haven't done anything "interesting", meaning something positive, so far :/ Except moving out, again, but that wasn't all fun...
This will be the one summer I will never forget, though. :/

it's my birthday in 2 weeks or so! ... ^.^'

Morag D · Aug 10, 2009, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I've spent the best part of the last two weeks trying to write a journal article and catch a mouse. So much for interesting xD

O rly? My birthday is on the 25th!

Hey, at least you're moving. I mean, moving is alot of trouble, but you're probably glad for this move.

Ate another scorpion tonight. Gave one to a weird friend because I knew he'd try it. Fun times.

Probably not anything more interesting or exciting as far as activities here at home since I'm getting ready for what I think is my last semester before graduation. *hide*

But getting these pictures is a fun way to spend my summer, because I never know what day I'll wake up to find one waiting for me.

Verene · Aug 11, 2009, 04:07 AM // 04:07

A scorpion? Ergh...not something I'd want to try

The highlight of my summer as of yet was spending a weekend in San Antonio visiting my boyfriend <3

And I'm about halfway through coloring one, however my attention span is terrible so I'll do a little bit, get bored, and go do something else XD

BlueXIV · Aug 11, 2009, 05:30 AM // 05:30

Scorpions are tasty tho :\ So are Cicadas and grasshoppers.

Don't have any time lately... so busy D:

Mine's the 23rd! You're virgo, haha ^^ I'm leo :P
Those are the only zodiacs I sorta know the dates for since I'm on the last day of the leo ^^'
And yeah, I am glad to move out

Better than staying anyway

speaking of what certain friends would try, one of mine once swallowed a 50 pence (UK) coin just because someone dared him to -_-''' he said the exit of said coin was the most painful, though I don't even understand how it's possible to swallow something that size.

Btw, now that I have you reading this, sorry about that stupid PM ^^' didn't realize the deadline had been extended

lol @ verene; just make sure you finish it in the end!

Morag: catch a mouse? O.o to pet or to kill?

Morag D · Aug 11, 2009, 12:44 PM // 12:44

oooh so many birthdays coming up! must think of presents!?!

@ tzu: pet or kill... well... let's just say the evil little creature has been eating my chocolate bars. however, they're really cute. so IF i manage to catch it alive, I'll set it free somewhere outside. no luck so far. it's getting a bit annoying :-P

Hailfall · Aug 11, 2009, 01:00 PM // 13:00

oeh evil mouse! chocolate is precious ^^

All those late birthdays

At least i already had mine 2 months ago.. gosh im starting to feel old XD

Tomorrow im going to a festival.. listen to music and relax!

Verene · Aug 11, 2009, 01:49 PM // 13:49

My birthday is in a little less than 6 months.

I'll be turning 24.

...I'm still not used to the idea that I'm an adult.

StarrTheInsane · Aug 11, 2009, 03:27 PM // 15:27

8O I'm an adult?!?! /cry

I'll be 27...27 going on 15. I wasn't really much of a 15 year old and 15, but I'm getting a second chance. I spent my childhood being mature for my age, what a waste! Midlife crisis perhaps? 27... 54... that's decent I suppose. Not planning on having kids, I suppose I can get several things accomplished by then.

Morbid ramblings. Starr the Insane, indeed ;P

Morag D · Aug 12, 2009, 09:25 AM // 09:25

haaaahaha I love what we're talking about here

I was 23 in April, but seem to be overly mature for some reason. But I can be incredibly silly as well :P Anyway.

OGOG artists, go colour something otherwise this thread will go completely OT xD
[not that I mind, but we're trying to be professional... I think... maybe?]

Verene · Aug 13, 2009, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Entry!

Left off the chaos gloves...um...pretty much because I forgot about them and decided I was too lazy to add them in. So yay.

Oh. Um, whoops. I also forgot to color Grim's lips. I need to look over these things more carefully I think...

StarrTheInsane · Aug 13, 2009, 09:53 PM // 21:53

Very nice, Verene! Don't worry about the lips. He's a guy, it would be a very minor adjustment (unless it really bothers you).

People with stakes in this round so far:
Tzu - Short Story x4, Sketch x1, Color x1

Morag - Sketch x2, Color x1
Koshi - Sketch x2
Selene - Color x1
Alyssaa - Color x1
Verene - Color x1
Aquabeard - Short Story x1

Haha, looks like Tzu has a hand in all the color entries in some way or another, only you can't say she's done so without collaborating with others. The sketch entry was based on someone else's story and she didn't color her own sketch. It's unfolded into a brilliant strategy by my count.

Tzu · Aug 13, 2009, 10:54 PM // 22:54

OMG Verene! Well done! O.O

Such an improvement from everything else I've seen you draw! ^.^ I'm impressed, and very happy you chose to colour mine

It looks 100x better than the original, and you managed to make the lineart and colouring style fit very well.

And Starr;

my intentions are revealed...

well, I did try to "spread myself around" a bit, make sure I got the most out of the contest

Beren985 · Aug 16, 2009, 11:42 PM // 23:42

This is still open right?

Disclamer: First time ever at attempting something like that. I have zero experience at drawing or painting, and my photoshop skills are very basic. But I'm happy with the outcome. And yeah, I discovered that the mouse is not an optimum drawing tool.

Hope I didn't miss any important detail...

Tzu · Aug 17, 2009, 12:10 AM // 00:10

whoah, that's totally van Gogh! That must've taken quite some time! ^-^
And no.. working with a mouse is definitly not easy... XD you did a good job though!
Thanks so much for using my sketch!

StarrTheInsane · Aug 17, 2009, 12:52 AM // 00:52

ooo that's fun and different!

You're not too late, and I'd cry if you were, because that's pretty cool.

I'm still in this. Just gotta get off my ass and do it... Soon. Before tomorrow. I hope D:

On a different note, I finally got myself an avatar. Lol

except it isn't showing. Hmmm... Do they have to be approved?

Edit: D: avatar fail. "Temporary file cannot be written." Guru hates me.

Glad you liked it! It must be odd to see how others interpret and paint your sketch. It took me 2 days, since I first read this post last friday, I'd have liked to have the time to go full van Gogh style but I had to hurry up. This and that my wrist was already starting to hurt xD

Oh it's not so much odd as it's fun!

I love it! ^^
And well, if you want to continue drawing and work up some serious skills, then you could finish it!

It would be fantastic to see a full blown van gogh style painting! especially when you do it with a mouse O.O that's crazy.
But yeah, keep it up, anyways! ^^
