I'm supposed to be sleeping but you know that never happens

[jateshi]

First off, happy birthday to gryphynkit and ginny_weasley! May you get...er...lots of...chocolate? And cake! Cake's good, so have cake! :D I'm all about the...er...meaningful things to be said on people's birthdays. *pause* ...yeah... '>>

See, I'm supposed to be sleeping. I was, earlier, but then I kinda woke up. I blame my dog (she's really cute, but she's snoring really loudly and since she sleeps right next to my pillow, it's hard to sleep through a dog-that's-snoring-loudly in this case) and her cuteness, as well as the Otakon Fever which must be searing my brain incredibly early. That and PGSM which has just *eaten* whatever sanity I had, spit it back out so that it likes shiny things and cheap henshin sequences coupled with bad acting and...er...other stuff.

I've got two Inu-Yasha chibis sketched, two Naruto chibis sketched, two senshi sketched as well as a PGSM chibi inked, some borderline-ecchi art I just need to decide who to make having a really short and being blown-up by the wind skirt (suggestions - FEMALE CHARACTERS I mean since she's got boobs dears! - welcome) as well as an Usagi-in-a-bikini-and-on-the-beach sketched and mostly I need to sit down, buckle down, and ink ink ink. Once I ink,it's so much easier to colour, you know?

Aside from the art side, I'm actually reviewing the terms Otakon listed for Writer's Alley. Sure, sure, I'm not *in* Writer's Alley but when has that actually stopped me? I might wind up taking some copies of fics to Otakon and in the very least, I'm plotting to spend not nearly as much time at-con drawing as I did last year (I would like to be able to bend my ring finger and my pinky finger *without* having to beg a three hour massage from the table next to me) and instead *gasp* smutting. I mean writing. *coughs* Yeaaaah. << >> << >> INNOCENT I AM! *flee*

Before I shimmy off for the night, since I'm starting to actually (finally!) get tired and know that if I don't head to bed soon I'll be smacked up one side and down the other by a lot of unnamed parties, the consensus heard from my not-mainly-here-for-Harry-Potter crowd is that glimpses of other fandoms are welcome here. :P I might actually take you all up at your word. A last note! My account on FF.net got deleted from inactivity. *meeps* So I'm actually really happy because most of that was really old crap and I've redone my account and am putting up only my most recent art. :D YAY! The last traces of my art pre-2003 is GONE from the net! YAY! *dances like a maniac!*

*flees for real now*

Yeh, same for me too.
Penciling/sketching is the tough, creative part that has issues but, once past the inking stage, it is smoooooth sailing!

I still need to make prints and make some kind of makeshift businesscard. @__@
My sticker idea is sucking. Looks like the only way it will work is if I re-scan my stuff at a high-resolution and try again.

Isn't it annoying? Inking's the most tedious part but (except for the stack of inked-but-not-coloured artwork I should really colour but I haven't) when it's done I can usually get something coloured so much quicker.

Ack, business cards! CRAP! I can't run out this year, not like I did last year. How many do you think should I print...?

Eeeek, good luck! *waves flags for you*

I think it would be cheaper if I just make something that is more like strips of paper that I can slip in with each purchase, not actual cards.

You should draw me. Shagging.

The suggestion appeals. :D First I should colour you and Theo though, ne?

*winks* Makes me wish there was some new fodder from *you* and *him* to have some inspiration for new things... *hint, hint*

[blaise-in-heat.livejournal.com]

Of course you should colour us. How can you not?

As for new fodder.......*raises eyebrow* If you haven't scared him off, I am not adverse to the idea.

You mean you haven't been getting my hints, Zabini? Dear me, you're a bit thick this week, aren't you? And I'm not talking about your little Zabini below the belt. *grins*

Why not see if Theo's free for some personal time, hmmm?

[blaise-in-heat.livejournal.com]

I've received your hints, Jigoku. They're being considered.

Besides, there are others who like it a bit thick. *sly wink*
