Uh huh and I only read 50 Shades of Grey for the prose.

I love it lots!

I am speaking the truth.

@Glitch: Hehe, glad you like it ^^ I haven't even yet figured out how to get a smooth line on the computer instead of all jagged pixels, which is why I often shy away from offering art. It probably doesn't help I don't own a tablet, so it's basically drawing with a brick.

@Tiva: You sure must love purple then :p-grin:

x'D.

I think it was originally a game (otome), then they made a manga and one animation for it.

@Death: you should look into this program called Skitch. It is great for doodles and auto-corrects lines so it works alright with a mouse and things.

Huh, that's interesting to know.

you looked into it quick! haha

Well, I'm always eager to learn something new.

Because even though I didn't want to try humans the caps was too funny

(I can't get the actual image link to show o_o. Goes to 404 not found)

I have plans to doodle tonight during my dungeon game

@death: i hope you like the program ouo I used to use it for outlines and then i'd use like photoshop to color them and stuff ouo

@potir :that is so pretty!

That moment when you read "Potir" as "Poultry" :p-sweat:

That is really lovely. Thank you. :)

What are you planning to doodle?

ok here i go next one

I'm arting! I'm arting!

Sadly not art that people can see right now. I'm gluing some tissue to a canvas and seeing how it turns out. Alas, flat was just not to happen so I'm hoping saturating it with the glue will hide the fold marks with the resulting ripples. Stupid tissue is delicate though. I managed to rip all four corners on the first layer. I'm leaving the second layer alone to dry a bit before attempting to wrap it around the rest of the canvas. This will probably end up being a mixed media thing. In other words, I'm making it up as I go!

That sounds like some interesting art, Quiet.
I wanna see it when you finish it!

there we go

Pretty! I wonder what Tam's painting? xD

LOL!

I wanna see it when you're done.

Looks great!

We'll have to see. I an take weeks to finish a project, especially if I'm not sure what I'm doing, but that can also make it faster.

The wrinkles are smoothing out but it appears a water drop arrived from somewhere and left a watermark on the tissue so now I'm wondering how to hide that. Waiting for it to dry is the hardest part! I want to keep fiddling (especially since an edge is lifting) but I risk tearing the tissue paper.

I might make a tester out of one of my tiny canvases to see how the tissue handles watercolour paint.

Awwww! So cute! Thanks, Glitch!

LOL Strings pulling! The Boris I know is a blue-grey cat. And Weird is painting... everything that doesn't run off fast enough.

The Boris I know is this guy:

It also happens to be the name of my GW2 Ranger's pet polar bear.

Pssshhh...only weeks! Lol.

But seriously though. I don't do much real art, but I know it can take a lot of time to make. I'm lucky enough to work in a place that does have an artist in residence so I get to see art as it develops and I know that it can be a whole process and can even take many months. I had the honor to get to know our latest A.I.R. fairly well and I got to see the very paintings that are now in one of the galleries develop over the fall and winter and it was really amazing.

But now I'm getting all rambly.
XD
Basically tl;dr: I will wait as long as it takes! I want to see the art!

He's one of my favourite villains, so when I joined gaia, my username was Boris_Badenov. I decided to name my character Boris.

You are on Gaia too?

Yes, but I a no longer Boris_Badenov there.

Too many announcements no there, I get annoyed.

I got used to it, but yes, I wish I could turn off notifications.

I'm just lazy, and have more things that I want to do in my spare time than spare time, including being lazy. ;)

Haha...that's also a totally acceptable and valid reason.
XD

The sad thing is I don't work and am not going to school right now, so in fact I have a lot of spare time.

Any my tissue canvas dried nice and smooth. The fold marks are gone, too. Not too happy with how I situated the pattern but oh well. Need to glue the edges down (doing a sort of modge podge with watered down white glue) and hopefully not damage things.

I'm debating if I should go over the tissue with ink or sharpie or cutout silhouettes of something. Thinking a ship.

Oooh...silhouette(s) sound fun!

Sine I've stared getting into more abstract or impressionistic styles of art, I've taken a liking to stark and fine details overtop of bright colour.

I really need to spend some time actually studying and looking at art. I get to look at the stuff in the galleries at work, but al lot of it is kind of the same type of art. Lots of photography and western art stuff.

Where do you work? I sounds interesting if you get to see art and such often. I'm the type to look really closely at paintings and such to see what brush strokes or colours someone might have tried.

I work at a small local contemporary art museum/education center.
We rotate exhibits on the main floor throughout the year, the basement has classrooms as well as a clay room and kiln room, and the second floor is mainly used for rental space for short term and long term rentals.

That sounds cool. I'm going to school for library science and I'm hoping to find a spot in a museum or gallery somewhere while I'm still a student. Not a lot that's easy to get to, though.
