So, been away from here for a few days. :) Yesterday was strangely busy at work, and I spent almost the entire weekend arting. I started working on a Valentine's Day pic that, obviously, wasn't done by Valentine's Day but that hopefully will be done this coming weekend. Assuming that I keep being in arty mood, of course. Otherwise, it'll be done... ( Read more... )

Did you say you had a 'cunning plan'?! O.o

I've got a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel.

(Either you get the reference, or you think I'm a total weirdo.)

Heh heh heh... Blackadder! :D God, I haven't seen that in, like, forever... I should rent it from Netflix or somethin'...

Although, honestly, the word "cunning" is now forever associated with Firefly in my mind, I'm afraid. :) Cunning hats, cunning plans, etc. :)

Gotta love those "arty moments", just being in the zone and focusing on nothing else but creativity.

As for the good day, well, not really, but I'm happy you are.

:( I'm sorry, sweetie. *snuggles* I hope you can have some good days soon. :(

But yeah...I'm weird when I'm in the art zone. I have no idea why. :) Just am.

The day was good - remember we Aussies live in the future ...

That description of you arting brings tears to my eyes because it is exactly how it is when I am WRITING!! Interesting. It brings to mind something you said in a recent email about Frosty seeing things like in a movie - in a series of frames - that is what I see when I write, and the frames are utterly absorbing. I don't know that it produces necessarily superior narrative results, however.

REALLY interesting - I can see how Frosty's insprations and your narrative abilities - including those to communicate perceptions - produced some of the results they have :-)

But - the Art - details??

Ah, you future-living Aussies. :) Hope you're having a nice...what? Middle of the night? :) Hey, I guess if the end of the world happens in December of 2012 or whatever it's supposed to be, we in America will know it's coming when all the Aussies just go *poof* all of a sudden. ;)

I think the absorption that happens to me when arting is because art is quite new for me, and I have to concentrate more on it. Writing has its zone, but it's just not as all-consuming now as art is. It just...happens. But yeah, Frosty and I work well together. She sees the big picture, overriding story arcs and action and such like movies that play in her head, while I obsessively focus down on smaller details. It's a good balance.

The art...is Hound/Mirage. And it's probably All Your Fault. ;)

First - it is not the middle of the night, but very early in the morning - 3am to be precise, Second, I should not be sitting here because I have to work tomorrow - but this is a not uncommon state of affairs! Third - when the big "poof" comes i like to think that one bright spark will blaze within the inferno and it will be mine. Amarericans will see this - and then everything will go "poof" over there too.

But, being an optimist, there is an alternative. None of it happens.

My fault? How can it be my fault? I'm not even a traditional M/H fan!! It's only about 10 days ago that i started articulating their smexual fantasies. This is bad! Q: can't you make it Raj and Skywarp? That's more romantic, at least. LOL !!

You don't have to work tomorrow. You have to work today. In what? About 5 hours? :) Geez, woman, you're like me. I go to bed at 2, am up again at 6:30. It's getting worse, it seems, as the menopause thing goes on. Funny thing is, I seem to function perfectly well. So long as I have caffeine *cuddles two-liter bottle of Diet Coke* ;)

Meh, I highly doubt any big poofs will happen, anyway. Leastwise none that were "predicted" by Mayans who reckoned time in eras, anyway, and the end of an era does not mean the end of the world. :p Why are people so obsessed with such "predictions" made by cultures that they know nothing about? :p

Hee hee hee...Nah, too late to make it Skywarp/Mirage, I'm afraid. Especially because the Hound part is pretty much done. He's easy. Mirage has...too much white. I HATE working with white! Why do I do this to myself? :p And I hate working with black, too, so a pic of Mirage and Skywarp would be TRULY hellacious for me ( ... )

I started working on a Valentine's Day pic that, obviously, wasn't done by Valentine's Day

I know that dilemma all too well. *hides sketch of FUR!version hot boy+girlfriends*

About the pairing in your art - I thought it was P/J by default. Hmm...wonder what it could be, instead?

Nope, not PJ. :) They've been quiet in my brain, lately. I think Prowl is hiding from me, due to what I'm doing to him in this AU of mine, and Jazz is helping him hide or something. BUT THEY WILL NOT DEFEAT ME!

*ahem*

The pic I'm working on is Hound/Mirage, which makes me think that you'll like it. ;) It's based on a screen capture, but greatly modified. I started out just making an icon, but then...went totally obsessive. :) So, it's totally recolored, the background completely re-painted, and while the basic poses are not changed (because of my current deficit of drawing ability), much of the detail is re-drawn because it's either drawn completely wrong or just very strangely in the capture or because I just like messing with certain details in an effort to improve said drawing skills. Like, I like to draw Autobots with cute, rounder, pudgier faces rather than angular ones, which I save for 'Cons and Dinobots. I hate hands, though, regardless of faction. :p

Oh, Hound gets some love. ^_^ Though I'm more of a interspecies fan it's Hound! all the same, so who cares? :D

I hear you on the hands-issue. Got the same problem with those and arms.

Arms on TFs aren't too hard. They're usually just three sets of boxes. But hands...I can't do 'em. They drive me insane. :p

And yeah, Hound always needs love. Says I. I pair him with Trailbreaker, though, not Mirage.

Well, you kind of need to put the word "art" in those quotation marks.... *sigh* Maybe one day I'll figure out the whole art thing, but for now I'm just kind of muddling through. But...Well, I think the image is cute. Now if I can just get Mirage looking not-stupid. :p
