Spaced interests ||| Interets aleatoires

as the title of this post tells, i have become bored enough to talk to you a bout some of my interests, since my drawings and other purposes for this blog haven't been very productive... Apart from a song i wrote that is half finished, but I gave up because it was starting to sound emo hehe.
Anyway, I shall start by paying tribute to lovly Kisa from Fruits Basket, whom I love so much because we are both year of the tiger (this may not sound so irrelevant if you had read the manga...). She even inspired me to get a similar haircut, which didn't really work out for me, may I add... Anywayz, Thnx Kisa, tigers will rule someday.
Then, speaking of manga, there's my all time, anime-based favourite game, Kingdom Hearts, which is so awesome with its interactive environment (especially in the first ps2 game). I must hunt down their most recent game if i'm not too busy spending my money on phone credit.

And then there's Kairi to the right, who is especially  gorgeous in her late teens. Also well done to the artists who made this CG pic so realistic. Yet another anime girl whose hair inspires me, coz i'm dying my hair semi-permanent auburn in a week. Hope that one turns out well '~'

Yeah fuva muckaz
it's lady soverin

Lady Sovereign, u rule my world, best uk white midgit rapperette... and the only one i know... Love ur hair 2! but not sure if it would work out for me, best not take too many risks.
gd songs by Lady Sovereign:
- Love me or hate me
- Those were the days
- I got you dancing
- Pennies
- So human
 - Sad ass strippah
Luv dat last one ;)


Here's the one, the only, the puffy-lipped Lana! Me and my soul, we love you. I swear, if she was blonde, she would look exactly like my best friend's sister, their resemblance is amazing. The good thing about her music is that she only starteddoing real good last year and I have all her songs on one album :) and that makes me a happy panda.
gd songs by Lana Del Rey:
- Video games
- Diet Mountain Dew
- Blue Jeans
- Off to the Races
- Born To Die
- Lolita
- National Anthem (dw, it's the actual national anthem)

Et voici le meilleur personnage du meilleur audiobook de la Terr de Fangh...
Le nain
Oui, car il raisonne en moi un sens de la repartit que j'ai toujours voulu, car je n'etais pas restee assez longtemps en suisse pour en developper un. D'ailleurs, je n'ai meme pas d'accent, et apparent j'ai un tres tres petit accent anglais :((((. Ce qui est fort facheux. Enfin bon, je recommende cet audio book, le Donjon de Naheulbeuk. Certes, il peut etre vulgaire, mais bon, si il ne l'etait pas, j'y vois aucun interet.

Voila la moitie d'une magnifique paire de gants que ma belle-mere m'a offert de son voyage a Sydney. Merci bcp!!!



And to conclude, here's a tribute to Sweden, who won Eurovision + my heart with their song - Euphoria. Check out the page I made with the lyrics on it. I thought it was perfect mix of slow song and upbeat song. And it's a crabwalking ninja doing tai chi onstage. What's not to love? Oh, forgot to mention she has a great voice.

Thus ends my endless blabbing about my interests.

New investments (ish)

It's been a while maybe too long. Yes, very long. Hopefully long enough for you guys to have realised I have aborted my project. That may be a shame but I'm just being my usual self. It's just like that story I was gonna write. Oh well, live in the moment I guess. I'm still very fond of drawing manga, and recently I've enjoyed drawing chibis a lot actually. At the moment, I'm mastering a caricature, of something of this sort:


This was on the back of a geography test, birthed from my boredom, obviously. Most of the time, the boy (he's an emo, not a girl) has his arm around a skeleton in a dress but I suck at drawing the human anatomy. Besides, I'm very fond of drawing from a side view.

On sait tous que BM en geographie est Banque Mondiale mais puisque le test etait sur les Etats- Unis, j'etais obligee. Deux de mes amis mon accompagnee en ecrivant Big Mac, et ils en ont presque pleure, en plein milieu d'une salle silencieuse de geographie. N'empeche que ca valait le coup.

An interest for Lana Del Rey's music has sprouted in me *PRODUCT PLACEMENT*
Otherwise, thanks to my brother, I'm listening to more french music, which is great for keeping up with a culture on the other side of the Earth. Thanx brahhh.
I hope I can keep drawing, writing lyrics, suggesting music watevs to keep my blog interesting. Hopefully it'll work. If not, then at least I'm doing something else than playing Kingdom Hearts. Good game btw *PRODUCT PLACEMENT*

Random Blah Blah 1

If you want to learn more about my project, please read:

So there you go. Two pages took me about a week and a half of not-so  work. Sometimes I really had to pull myself out of my lazy zone to get some of it done. On other days, I was really enthusiastic (especially on the first days of my project. But in the end, I found that listening to music was the best motivation.

Finishing all of the draft will take up approximately another page and a half. And since I start work in two days, it could take up to two weeks or more.


The real copy will have much larger and very detailed images which will require mastering the art of proportion and perspective (which needs a lot of uuh... mastering). It will take a really long time. A couple of months if I put my heart into it.

For the music, I've chosen Simple And Clean by Utada Hikaru, the PLANITb remix, or as others know it, the intro to the Kingdom Hearts game Re: coded. The normal version is pretty good too, but much too relaxed and it's really long. Odd that I enjoy music from video games, that's usually my brother's type of thing. It sounds nerdy. But seriously, it's a good song.

I think I need to change the font of the writing for this blog because I find it really hard to read.

I  think I need to do some excercise...

About the story of my project:
The story kinda comes to me as I write, I guess. You should read this if you can't tell what's happening in my uuh... drafty drawings.
So, it's this one girl who I think is in love with that guy. She reaches for his hand but a mystical power stops this! And then there's a big boom and she gets thrown away from him. Then she gets engulfed by a black hole or something???

She's falling...

She stops falling and starts levitating. Yay! She sees two doors; a dark one and a lighter coloured shaded one. Which one does she pick? The dark one! Hehe... She opens it with some sort of beam she generates from her hand. Maybe she has some magical powers???

Next page...
She's gone through the door and has arrived in a dark room. And she sees the guy! She runs over to him he vanishes into what I think are soap bubbles. After crying a bit, she generates with her hands (again) a pool (which took me a very long time to draw) in the shape of a leaf and jumps in it! A tad freaky perhaps?

She arrives in this place where there is a path and some hills in the background ( I decided to change the decor a bit). She creates a map indicating where her loved one is. He's quite far away so she decides to transform into a bat??? Okay, she's definitely a sorceress. So she flies over to him at very high speed.

But what do you know? He's turned bad and attacks her with an energy bomb that drains her of her bat powers. So a wizard too? And I've added some red in his eye to prove he's evil. The girl gets back up after falling and runs over to him but the guy stops her and throws her to the ground. She holds up her hand and makes an energy bomb that drains him of his evil. Deja vu.

So that was it, told in a rather boring way (well, at least, I got tired of it). Trust me, it sounds better with the music.

I'm not gonna give away spoilers today. And I really don't feel like it; my neck hurts and I ate too many chips. Until then!

P.S: trying to keep this p.s tradition going. It's hard...

Draft pages 1 and 2 complete!

Well, it's been one week since I'm back and I've held myself back from going to post straight away after arriving. Besides, I was quite jetlagged. And my main reason for posting now is to present the first half of my draft which I have just scanned.
I humbly congratulate myself.
It took a while for me to get used to this place; it's super humid and there are a tonne of bugs! And massive spiders. I have to get used to this keyboard once again, and the electric plugs too because the ones in Switzerland are different. Of course, there's the time of the day, but I guess I'm used to that. And lastly, one hard thing to do is adapt to family, the closer family I have to work for.
But it's all coming along easily, I guess. I'm at ease at the moment, crunching on my salmon dips and natural chips. Two days til I go back to work. I'm pretty psyched! A new year is the best opportunity for new choices and new challenges.

Now, back to the serious stuff. I've decided each of my posts need to have something to do with my project, and I've worked pretty hard these days. So here are the two first pages of my draft;

Draft 1
 Draft 2

little message...

leaving switzerland on friday :(.
Will make the most of it.
Good news! I've finished the first page of my draft, which is about maybe 45 seconds into the song.
It will take '' 3 plombes'' (french expression) to get it all done.
But please be patient! I promise it'll be worth the wait.

A meaning to this blog

Ok, I'll come clean, this blog is useless to everyone apart from me. I need to find it's purpose. You know, a real one, because writing about my life in my odd version of English is about as useful as the 4th season of Jersey Shore. No offense to fans.
Ideas....
Hmmm, ideas....
Let me just say that this is the last useless post I will post because the next one will have a purpose....
Hmmm, ideas....
Perhaps something rather artistic like analysis of lyrics or pictures of my manga?
Well, those two topics, I really like.
I could do a bit of both.
OMFG OMFG OMFG
BEST IDEA
I could ( can barely type at the excitement of my bestest idea) make a sort of manga/animation that is based on a song that I am loving at the moment (like simple and clean, awesome btw). So it's kinda like a filmclip. Oh bloody hell XD. genius
Okay, well I better get to work.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...
