  Hey everybody. How’s it going?

Sorry for not being around the past few days, but I had an absolutely horrific weekend. I could give you the whole shimmy on the deal, but I doubt you’d want to sit through that.
To make a long story short; my brother was a total dick this weekend. Even more so that usual. He took every opportunity he could to piss me off, and as a result he got my parents pissed at me; something I really, REALLY don’t need.
It also doesn’t help that my teachers are currently kicking our asses as far as homework, my grades aren’t looking too good at the moment, final exams are in 3 weeks, and I had to go another week without getting to see my buddy Josh.

And, as usual, all the bullshit in the art-community has continued to grow worse. I am just so sick of idiots ruining what used to be my only sanctum from the idiocy of the world. I can only stand being assaulted with so much perversion and general stupidity before I finally snap.
I’m just tired of logging-on and seeing 20 or 30 things that make me go “What the f*** is wrong with you!?”

Peh, whatever. On to the good stuff.

Comments on my latest artwork as always would be greatly appreciated. :3
Speaking of artwork, I finished my second Holocaust Ghost last night. As soon as people are finished seeing my newest submissions, I’ll be sending in the even newer stuff.

We started watching Schindler’s List today in Language Arts. Dear Lord, do I ever love Mr. Spielberg’s cinematography! I find the choice of Black & White interesting, because I’ve heard that the colors in that movie will come into play later.
Anyway, it’s a pretty good movie so far, but class was over just as it started to pick up. Feh, all the more reason I’m psyched to see it next time. :p
We have to finish reading “Night” by Wednesday. I’m already on the final chapter (the arrival at Buschenwald), but let’s still hope I’ll be able to completely finish it in 2 nights. That shouldn’t be a problem, though, since Night is such a page-tuner! Man, so many horrific events woven in such detail by the author. I highly, HIGHLY suggest reading Night if you haven’t already. It’s not very long, and trust me: It’s worth the read. :3

“Breathless For You”, by Kycha:



This is one of the most absolutely beautiful pieces of artwork I’ve ever seen.
The guy on the left is Isaac (original character of the artist), and the girl on the right is Daemon (original character of one of the artist’s friends).
This picture is so beautifully romantic that I can’t even describe how charmed I am by it. Well, except of course by going “Awwwwwww!!”.
Anyway, the colors here are spectacular. They’re as vibrant as they could ever be, yet flow smoother than whipped cream.
The lining is clean and smooth, making the characters look soft and lively. The artist obviously has great skill in drawing faces in profile.
The textures are amazing as well, especially in the hair. Combine that with the exert lining the artist used, you feel like you could reach out and run your fingers through either of the characters’ hair. Speaking of which, the gradation change in Daemon’s hair from the pitch-black to metallic green was done perfectly.
Both the outfits look awesome. The colors in Daemon’s outfit are a sight to behold, and Isaac’s outfit greatly reminds me of my own (I have a thing for suits & ties for my male characters, as you all know).
The eyes are not only full of life, but seem perfectly focused, making it look like the characters are totally transfixed on each other. (*hopeless-romantic sigh*)
And as often as you see cat-ears on characters these days, the artist somehow got the ears in this piece to look fresh and new.

*sigh*, this may be one of my all-time favorite pics. It’s just so beautiful and romantic……

*ahem*, anyway, I hope you all have a good day today.
I’ll see you all tomorrow! ^_^
