Flourishing Verdantly

Vacation time and a scanner that is working after a year or so of being in storage means I have an art dump of random stuff. Not dial-up friendly.


( Avatar, Princess Tutu, X-Men, etc. )

Yeah, so the illustrious illustrator beanclam drew this really awesome picture of girl!Fakir. And besides being really pretty it also brought up the idea of Princess Tutu, which, like Utena, is big about the roles of masculinity and feminity as it pertains to fairytales/society/literary ideas. So I wanted to explore that with art.

...nah, really, I drew the rest of the main cast genderswitched because I could and it looked fun.

( Is it still subverting gender norms when you turn inverted archetypes back on themselves? )

My class was canceled for today so instead of doing "real" work, like studying or figure out job stuff I drew. For lilorchid1023 because I ♥ her and fail at general cheer up beyond distractions (you will always be grumpy Rin in my mind forever). And for umadoshi, who helped with reminding me I love drawing pretty Soumas.

( Things get better )

I spent a disproportionate amount of hours for the effect there. Er, so take a look at other distractions. Joan, feel better and tell me anything I can do for you okay? *snugs*

For any CFUD fans. Request away any drabble or doodle. I'll try to respond in a timely fashion. Jokes about my speed will result in Ed-like "Who's so slow they move like LA traffic?!" ranting.

Since I have nothing of importance to say right now I might as well just paste some works in progress and throwaway scribbling to distract everyone. Well, mainly me, but only until the rest of Heaven's Coins download.

( I obviously should not try to mix Bleach art with Blade of the Immortal )

'Tis the season to get candy. Fa la la la la~

( HAPPY HALLOWEEN )

First off, debt paying. virtualinsomnia/Sonya, your unnamed reward is done. *grumbles* Stupid inspiration made me work harder on it than I intended...

Care to guess what it is?

I got the crossover inspiration from having to do an assignment on the possible characterization of Beowulf if he was transported into Gawain's position in Mort De Arthur. I have to write two pages of basically summing up: Beowulf would bash Lancelot's head in. Because Lancelot is a poncy little bastard who cuckolded his king. And I'm so tiiiiiiiired.

The only thing that's propelling me right now is randomly drawing (in class too, bad me) and J-Rock/Chinese ballads. The good kinds, not the Chinese countryside opera that sounds like gastro-intestinal disorders. Raphael's lead singer belting out "kanashi wa fumetsuka kairi sou~" is sex. Hmm, and so is Alan Ke You Lun, who makes Taiwanese dialect sound downright amorous.

Hey, when you can't understand most (J-Rock) or any (Chinese) of the lyrics you have to go on something right?

Because I said I would post it next time I was on...

"In the name of the moon I will-! *cough* *hack*"

Yes that's Motoki looking on in horror. See the little Kamekichi?

And no, I don't have any particular hatred for Mars. She just happened to be within distance and have, you know, facial expressions.

The lesson here folks is never wait while people transform.
