flyboy_foxWow, I feel kinda short of breath right now... you know... not like I'm gasping for air or anything, but I feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen and I need to keep taking deep breaths n.n;; It'll pass. It's happened before. But aaanyway...
There was industrial action on the Northern Line today, which meant I couldn't get to college :\ I actually got up on time, too! :P Well, this gives me another night to try to finish my waaaay overdue assignment ^^;; Hope it won't affect my grades... my tutor's VERY understanding, so I don't think it will... buuut... I really need to get it done now n.n;;
Jei and I have been role-playing a LOT lately n.n Our RP is just too awesome for words. She drew this REALLY awesome picture from this one scene in the RP where Sonic and Tails are in this chaos vortex in the center of a storm made up of chaos energy, and Sonic's gone all Super Sonic, and Tails is slightly transformed too (I took a few liberties there *cough*). I used a bit of creative licence in describing Tails' transformation, since it was a lot more subtle than Sonic's. I didn't go with his gold hyper form. I guess it's closer to his brown(?) turbo Tails form, but without that dumb cape :P I dunno, I'm probably remembering his 'official' transformations completely wrong anyway. For the sake of the RP, I just had his fur darken a bit and his eyes go a really deep almost indigo color. And then I drove Jei crazy today with trying to get the fur color right in her pic n.n; "No, not so orangey..." "That's too brown, it's more reddish than that" "It's more like a burnt orange/cinnamon color" "Darker than that!" "Still too orange! More earthy!" ... n.n;; Poor Jei-ji. Y'know, I just have this color in my mind that I envisioned during the RP, and I somehow managed to recreate it while I was messing around with layer masks and variations in PhotoShop. But I burned the color too much and with too high contrast :\ So, the color's right there, but poor Jei can't replicate it as a 'pure' color ;_; I feel really bad for all the time she spent trying to get it right n.n;;; It's really not that important... I just hate my brain for being so nitpicky! Anyway, pic under the cut ^_^ I have to show it, 'cause it's soooo awesome!
She based his color (above), on my attempt to recolor him from the light orange she originally had. This was what I'd somehow done:
See how the fur looks kinda like it's been burnt/singed? Well, it somehow reproduced the color(s) I wanted, but it seems impossible to capture that as a pure set of shades... But for the base color, Jei got it pretty much spot on n.n Doesn't she ROCK?
I played iSketch again recently, just 'cause it's there and I can n.n I'm not a great artist, but I seem to be very good at guessing, and therefore I seem to win alot o.o Like, about 60 - 70% of the time, with about 10 players per game ^^; Anyway, I thought this was pretty funny :P Someone got kind of irate:
:P at them.
Urg... I need to stop feeling breathless n.n; It's tiring. I hope the trains are back to normal tomorrow.
I left my details for a job in a card shop today. Hopefully they'll get back to me. They said they wanted a "mature" person, in the ad. I don't know if that means mature as in 'old' (ie, pensioner, who they wouldn't have to pay so much n.n;), or just mature as in not bratty 16 - 17-year-old school-leavers ^^; Well, I guess we'll see, if and when they get back to me.
Bah, my back aches, too :P I'm just _full_ of complaints today n.n;
I drew a Sontails-ish picture that I'm pretty proud of, today n.n But I, uh, don't think I should post it here o.o;; ... n.n;;;;; Yeah. Oh well.
I so need to make a Gravity of Love music video if/when I get mad 3D Flash skillz :\
::Yawns:: Man, I'm sleepy. I'm done updating :P Go'way now.
In the eye of the storm, you'll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
