On a MUCH happier note! I posted links to this and this on the cosplay board of MechaCon's forums as an example of how you CAN get good props out of cardboard, tagboard and masking tape, painted with spray paint and detailed with Sharpie. Juuuuuuust as I'm about to log off the computer entirely... 04:20:51] VanDaShinobi: I just wanna say I'm impressed with your skills with cardboard props. Bravo.
[04:21:04] Volatile Kitsune: Oh holy crap, thank you! :D
[04:21:48] VanDaShinobi: From the shitton of "gundam" and "transformer" and "solid snake" cosplayers, I'm glad to see some skill and creativity.
[04:22:11] Volatile Kitsune: I'm... so flustered and flattered. Ehee. Again, thank you so much!
[04:23:09] VanDaShinobi: Helps to lurk the forums with this night job of mine.
[04:23:43] VanDaShinobi: You coming to the show?
[04:24:01] Volatile Kitsune: The cosplay competition?
[04:24:18] VanDaShinobi: Well, the convention in general.
[04:24:28] Volatile Kitsune: Oh. Hahaha. Yes, I am!
[04:24:43] VanDaShinobi: I'd like to see cosplay this year but since of the venue, I gotta watch the hotel.
[04:25:11] Volatile Kitsune: Ooh. Shame. The whole thing's getting video'd, though, right?
[04:25:45] VanDaShinobi: We're working on that. Every cosplay has been videoed, it's just the guy who did it was always a flake about getting us the footage.
[04:26:06] Volatile Kitsune: Ulch. I hate that.
[04:27:06] VanDaShinobi: Yeah, well this year it's gonna be a hell of a show with the auditorium and all. I'm gonna have to see if I can at least catch the concert after cosplay.
[04:27:52] Volatile Kitsune: Is the concert happening at the college, too? I'm doing such a runaround trying to find and process all the information, heh.
[04:28:40] VanDaShinobi: Yeah. Cosplay at the hall followed by the concert at the same hall. Since we got it for the whole day, might as well make the best use of it.
[04:28:52] VanDaShinobi: Those are the only two events outside of the Hilton.
[04:29:44] Volatile Kitsune: Awesome. Man. Is it August yet?
[04:33:21] VanDaShinobi: Keep ya shirt on. Bout 50 days or so.
[04:33:42] VanDaShinobi: Actually, more like 40 something.
[04:35:04] Volatile Kitsune: Hah, good thing. I have cosplays to finish. =P
[04:35:35] Volatile Kitsune: On that note, though, I ought to be heading to bed. Got work tomorrow so that I can pay for conventions!
[04:36:52] Volatile Kitsune: It was nice talking to you. :3 And once again, thank you so much for your compliments! I really appreciate them.
[04:37:08] VanDaShinobi: Sure. See ya around. G'night.
[04:37:14] Volatile Kitsune: Night! :D :D :D I got complimented on my cosplay props. By Con staff. Squeeee~~~ Tags: art, cosplay, glee, mechacon, oh em gee, props, yay

( HERE YOU GO. )And we just ate juevos rancheros. Mom and I are going to make Dad the cake he didn't get for his birthday, since it's Father's Day. Hey; everyone give your dads a hug, alright? <3 And, on a completely separate note: Two Sundays ago. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I SAY IT FUCKING ROCKED. IT WAS RIDICULOUS AND CAMPY AND UNBELIEVABLE AND STUPID AND I FUCKING LOVED EVERY FUCKING MINUTE OF IT.♥ That is all.

I stayed up until fivish last night/this morning (...technically yesterday morning, at this point). Got up at noon. It was fucking cold today, whoa. Fifty degrees in May, whut. Freaking mountains. ILU but yikes. Made myself a hot mug of raspberry tea. I really wanted hot chocolate, but, ahaha, it's all in a packing box at Goucher. Oops. Tea was tasty though. Ate a muffin for lunch. (MAKE ROOM FOR THE MUFFIN.) Called Goucher, requested proof of enrollment. It was... much easier than I thought it would be. Took about five minutes, instead of the ONE HOUR RUNAROUND I was expecting. Now to see if it arrives properly filled out and on time~ Played more Wiiiiii~. Finally learning not to suck at Mario Party. I kick ass at the target game on Wii Play, FYI. 450+ points is a consistent score for me. Oh, Zelda shooting galleries, you serve me well~~ Helped Dad make dinner! Lasagna pinwheels. Yum. God I love to cook. I need to do it more often. Took not-quite the longest shower of my life. I just stood there and let the water... wash. It felt so good after feeling slightly chilly all day. Hugh Laurie was on Jay. (From sometime back during Earth Week.) He's such a fucking hilarious man. And his natural accent trips me up every time I hear it. (Some project he was in, he had to do an American accent for, again. Part was set in a hospital. They said action, and he started limping. Lulz.) Ewan McGregor was on Craig. My Scottish friend you are made of pretty and sexy and awesome and fucking hilarity. ...That can totally apply to both of them. <3 (The redhead is prettier.) I finished the background on my first fanart since Valentine's Day, and will be uploading it at deviantART within the next hour or two (depending on what distracts me in the meantime). [Edit] Here you go~~. I has work tomorrow~~. 5:30-close, which is whenever cleanup finishes after they stop serving at 10:00. I'm actually looking forward to it. I can has valuable life skills nao? Today was a good day. :3 Tags: art, cleaning, cooking, craig ferguson, drawing, fanart, goucher, jay leno, links, sasuke, wii, work

Classes are over. In the last day of Life Drawing today I drew what may well be my best piece this entire semester. My paintings (finishing 2 "in-class" works that need to total about 8-12 hours' work, finishing 1 "homework" "interior landscape" that's already 75% finished, and doing a 3-hour drapery painting) aren't due until my 10:15am meeting with Stuart on Thursday, May 15. My final project in Sculpture I isn't due until final crit begins at 11:30am that same day. I'm going home either after final crit (ends at 3:00pm) on Thursday or early Friday morning. Since I'm storing Blick's stuff (as Blick is going home before storage begins), I don't have to worry about emptying the fridge super-early. Gilly is coming down on Sunday to visit Tom. Watching of Heroes, playing of Guitar Hero and other random awesomeness will commence. As Scott and Tom are both seniors, they're staying awhile. And I have a new Magic deck with which to play. One of Gilly's friends is a dealer at Otakon. All they have to do is work in the booth for 4 hours and they get free registration. This makes it SUPERLIKELY that they can come. The freshies are staying as long as I am. There will be Whedon-marathoning. I just bought my mom a Mother's Day card, stamped it, and put it in the mailbox. I also bought myself some chocolate because yay. I am in such a state of :3 right now.

Man oh man. I hope yesterday/today isn't an exemplar of how the rest of the week is going to be. I will be dead by next week. I can't even remember what I did after class Monday. I painted in class! Landscape. It was nice. --Oh OH oh I do remember! Landscape sketches. After that... uh. No real clue. Was Monday HAY LET'S TALK ABOUT OTAKON 8D 8D 8D day? Eh. Yesterday, went to Life Drawing. We did portraits instead of body studies--and holy shit, I am really proud of the portraits I did. Lawrence's is off in a few places (I think I blame that on my apathy stemming from steaming hatred of the model), but Alice's is perfect. I can't wait to capture a digital image of it and put it up in my galleries. It's so beautiful. Didn't check in in Sculpture I--didn't care enough. Stayed in the drawing studio instead to do the landscape sketches (from the window) I hadn't done earlier. Got back in at the room around five, passed out until 11:30pm. Spent the next nine hours painting. Yes, straight (but for the three times I got up to clean my palette). It was so worth it, though. Still life: gamer geek edition. GameCube controller, deck of Magic: The Gathering cards, and two sets of gaming dice (plus an extra pair of d6s). It looks fucking gorgeous. From a distance of about six feet (which takes care of the slightly blurred edges), the controller looks photorealistic. The cards and dice fall into that at about ten feet. I am impressed with myself, not to toot my own horn. Again, can't wait to get an image of it. If only I'd painted it straight on the canvas. It's on matte medium-prepped art paper, which is slightly less awesome than it could be. Still, so getting this framed. I--I kind of want to put it in the living room in our apartment next year. Man. I love it so hard. It's so damn pretty. Anyway. After I got everything cleaned up, it was about noon, and I passed out until class at two. Took the still life in for final crit--everyone loved it. They were all "I WANNA PICK UP THAT CONTROLLER AND PLAY SOME NINTENDO :D :D :D" and more than half of them recognized the Magic deck for what it was. c.c I talked to a kid named Alex--the only male in our painting class--for awhile. Man was he fun to talk to. Got his number and promised to find him on Facebook. It's a shame he's graduating. Must keep in touch with him regardless. So I came back to pass out, but was... sort of awake. Stopped in to see the freshies. Ended up going with them, Tara from Life Drawing, and Tom into town. Ate a pretzel dog and a cinnamon-sugar pretzel from Auntie Anne's; Tom and I split from the freshies after a good chat to head to Legends. Tom and I had planned to buy/split a booster box from the new Shadowmoor set--but instead of the $70 we'd been expecting, they were pricing it at $109. :| Yeah, no. Neither of us had that kind of money. Yet, we both ended up buying Shadowmoor precons. c.c He bought the blue/black; I got the green/white. Hohshit. The cards in this thing are fucking phenomenal. I also bought a booster of Lorwyn and two of Saviors of Kamigawa. Got better cards overall in each Saviors pack than I did in Lorwyn, amusingly enough. Played a game against Tom in the store--doing so when you buy a precon saves 10%, so hey, why not. Lost. Not quite spectacularly, but man I saw some stuff I should have done fifteen seconds too late in at least three instances. I blame braindeadness. Stopped in GameStop on the way back. Managed to walk out empty-handed, though at different points I had a $20 brand-spanking new copy of God of War II in my hands, as well as used copies of Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Summoner 2. THEY WILL ONLY GET CHEAPER and I need to save my monies. I am proud of myself. (Also I should maybe beat the first in each of those sets of games before going to the second. e.x I own Sly and Summoner and Blick's got GoW. Guh.) Ran into Scott on the way back. Talked Pokemon, Magic, and Otakon. I--guys. If there is a semi-tall, lanky Rock Lee running down the halls of the convention center screaming SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH! over and over again--that's Scott. Lawd. So the point of all this is that I have been arting like a crazy person and I've now been up 23.5 hours. Granted, I needed the brain break in the form of socialization (I'd been getting pent-up and kind of passive-aggressive the last couple days), but man. If the rest of the week is like this I will die. Okay. It is naptime. Or watching the rest of Stranger Than Fiction (again) time followed by naptime. Snooooooze plz.
