Fursuit planning
I finally started ordering goodies for fursuit construction. I'm a big planner and an inveterate list-maker, and I enjoyed ticking a few things off the list yesterday. Even though I've contemplated building my own suit for years I've done very little in reality, so there's a lot of work to be done before I can dive in. And since I'm avoiding ( Read more... ) -
Burning Man!
Bought tickets for me and the boy today. I'm so excited! Thankfully I'm totally distracted by that and our upcoming trip to Paris to be too torn up over not attending Further Confusion. I SO wanted to go, but it's way too soon before our trip (the weekend before, in fact) and there's just no way to swing that. But no matter, there are so many ( Read more... ) -
Busy busy busy!
Just popping in during a brief break at work. Life is crazy right now, but it's a good crazy. The boy and I have so many plans for the holidays, and they began directly on the heels of a busy and amazing birthday week. The boy took me out for an incredible romantic dinner, then that weekend I had a big group dinner that many of my closest friends ( Read more... ) -
Work is FUN
Working tonight so I can take the day off tomorrow...boooo. Catching up on CSI:LV and NY, and NCIS. Waiting for work junk to download so I can finish this silliness. Want to leave for guiduck's place and go to bed. We're going downtown tomorrow to wander and visit a cheese shop and shop for Thanksgiving yay :)
There is no point to this post, except... ( Read more... ) -
Paperdoll is done!
Oh have I ever been excited for this! Frisket finished my paperdoll! I'm completely in love :)
Pretty girl
Her facial markings are a little different than the small commissions I've gotten thus far, but I think I'm sticking with the doll version. Anyhow, now it's on to multi-view concept art for myself and guiduck so we can commission our suits! I'm ( Read more... ) -
Call me Ishmael.
No, just kidding. But the boy and I did just spend a few minutes discussing my character's name. He asked questions about her to help me paint more of a picture. She's British, lives in a small town outside London (that part was inspired by Kate Winslet's character in The Holiday), loves to bake, often spends weekends at friends' houses in London ( Read more... ) -
Conventions Ahoy
Conventions coming out my ears! guiduck and I decided to go to Anthrocon in 2010 pretty much immediately upon having the whole "uh I'm furry" conversation after we met. Since he is rad as hell, he's totally down to go to whatever cons we can manage. We both love to travel and he, at least, is lucky enough to have a job that offers lots of vacation time ( Read more... ) -
Character naming = Booooooo
I have totally wrapped myself around a stump on this one. I've been trying to think up a name for my skyote character for AGES. Everything is either too cute or too androgynous or too fantasy or too Native American wannabe or too gentle or too normal or too dumb or just plain wrong for some vague reason ( Read more... ) -
GIP
Are you dead from cute or what? SERIOUSLY. This is what happens when you commission an amazing cartoonist to create an icon just for you. Best 10EU I ever spent. -
I think I can fairly be called a patron of the arts, right?
I've discovered a new addiction. Commissions. Frankly, after drooling over anthro art for years (years, people!) it's no wonder I'm a bit nutso for commissions now. So far I've been very careful and conservative, save for a splurge on a favorite artist I was stalking. I haven't depleted the "found money" that I didn't realize was in my Paypal ( Read more... )
