Question:

I recently checked out a site where i was asked to go see the art. I did. And.. what i thought was strange was this: on some of the pictures there had been a major voting going on, as far as over 100 votes. Well, thats good, but... why were there only a single comment? I never got 100 votes at my pics, my current record is at 8/9 votes, and that includes 4 (!) comments! So to me, it seems natural that atleast one third of the people who vote leave a comment too! Do you want to know what this comment said? This one out of over a hundred people had wrote: very nice

Hmm... yeah, looks like he got over impressed! Is it only me, or is this strange? If someone knows the answer please tell me!
How does one person get over 100 votes on one of his pics, but only 1 comment on the same pic?
Please explaine.

   Dreams
Ive decided that i want to write down some of my dreams here, just because i want someone to hear about them, and if anyone is interested in dreams, this could be interesting. Also, if you have any comments on them, it would be nice. But, theres alot that might be difficult to understand, even for me. Thats another reason why it would be great to read some comments.. ^__^ Okey, ill just write down some when i feel like it, so dont stress. Im not gonna disapear into my own world completely :p Here comes the first one:

The first crytal of snow

I was on the run to get away from someone. They were always after me, after my treasure. Day after day. I could never rest. So i went to see my friend, someone i trusted.
We were standing in a room, the light was soft and yellow/red as from candles, it came from behind him. He, my friend, was male, very tall (maybe 2m), big and completely black. Black as the night sky. He looked like a man, but i cant tell what he was, cus i really dont know. So i asked him to take my treasure and ceep it for me. Because he was stong and mighty, strong enough to take care of it, protect it.
He would take the treasure and protect it, so i gave it to him. There were to statues in the room, in between us (togheter we made a square) The statues had the shape of two large cats(panter, kuga...). They were the symbol of my treasure, and when i gave them to him, i gave all my treasure away, and they were also black. My friend went over to one of them, and with his hand, he whiped of some of the black from the statue and revealed that it was made of gold. He had seen through my disguise.
Then i found myself in a different time. It might have been years later, maybe only months. I decided that i would search for him, and find him, my friend. I got myself into this airplane (something similar, it was not driven by an engine, and it had no "walls", just the wings and the seat.) I flew away. Then i came to a land of night and snow. There were hills all around, and very dark. I could see only snow and trees and hills, and in the sky there were dosens of stars shining bright. But then my airplane flew into the treetops, and i chrashed.
The plane was smashed into a "mountain" or big hill, that was just like a great wall, stright up. I had fallen of the plane when it hit the trees and landed in the snow. It was so much of it, i could hardly walk in it. It went all up to my knees. I was covered in it, wet and cold. I started walking along the mountain wall and discovered that there was a road heading up. I walked up this road and came to the top.
There there was a big house, long, not tall (only one or two floors) But very big. Infront of it was a line with people who wanted to get in. This was the house of the one who owned this land. I got in line, and shortly after, i was inside. There were lots of light and people. On one wall there was a screen where they showed of information and i dont know what.. I started walking around in this house.
There were alot of corridors and doors everywhere. Then, i noticed that someone was following me. I stared walking faster and faster untill i was running again, running always running. There were someone running after me, and then not only one, but several! I paniced and ran in and out of rooms, doors and corridoors. (this continues for some time in my dream, and i get very tired of running)
In the end, i was so sweat and tired, i had no energy left in my body. I tried to walk but i could not, i was crawling on the floor. (here i saw that my haire was all black and dirty, and my clotes were also dirty and filthy) Then i saw a bed in one room. I coulnd take any more running now, so i crawled over to the bed and dragged myself upon it. There i layed, not being able to run any longer, i had decided to let them have me.
Now i kinda left my body and observed myself from a distanse. I could see them coming for me, people or demons, whatever they might be. They stretched their hands out for me, fingers like claws. I was shure of it; they were going to kill me and ripp me into pieces.
But then i looked closely. They had reached the bed and surrounded it, but they did not kill me, oh no. They washed me, washed my haire, changed my clothes, put make up on me and made me beautiful! I got this beautiful dress, in different colours of green, and i was thinking that - i was the earth - because of all the green. And my haire was long and brown and curly. I had returned to my body and i knew thet they had made me beautiful for him! For my friend! He was the one who owned this land, and he had sent his servants for me, to bring me to him.
Now i was with him, and he was still as dark as before, far taller than me. He held me close and i looked into his eyes, they were black as the night sky. And then we kissed. One single kiss. And from that kiss, the first snow crystal was made, and i was thinking that i wanted all of the earth to be covered in snow.

The return of me
Hello again!

Greece was hot! And Athens rock! If you ever find time and money, you should most deffinitly go there! Athens has everything one may need! City, shopping, sightseeing, museums (130 or more), nightlife, clubs and bars, restaurants with great food, beaches, nice hot weather (may be uptill 40 degrees celsius) The city is "small" it has a center, so you can practically walk everywhere, and the metro and buss system (in general all public transport) is easy to use.

I fell in love with the city. Just one thing: remember to ceep as much in the shadows as you can, and protect your head! Use a hat, bandana, caps, whatever, just ceep your head away from direct sunlight, or else you will soon have great head aces!! Beware! Both me and my boyfriend got it. Oh, we got sunburned to ;p So remember to take good care of your skin if you ever go to a hot place! Air conditioning is a must, and a refrigerator in the hotelroom came in handy! Imagine extremely hot days, and then coming home to a nice cool room with cold coke in the refrigerator...

We werent in Athens only though! We went to the islands too! Or, two of them; Paros and Naxos. Paros lies 4 hours by boat away from Athens, and Naxos is 30 min away from Paros. Paros was filled with Norwegians. So was Naxos. lol. On both island there are several towns, but we were only in the towns with the harbor, i dont remember their names. Anyway, Paros was a little bit to boring for me, since the only thing you could do there was swimming and laying on the beach. But the town was sweet, all white houses. Naxos had a bigger town, and i came to like it. Still, the one and only thing to do is laying on a beach and taking a swim :D Even though i think the town on Naxos had some good clubs and bars, we were to tired to go clubbing, so i dindt try it out.

After Greece, we went to Denmark, but first, i want to tell about the travel from Greece to Denmark. As you know, we went to the islands outside of Athens, and the trip back to Athens took us almost all the day. We spent the final night in a luxurious hotel, and that was great! Nice experience.. :) So, the flight was in the morning, and we had to wake up at 6 o'clock. We took the metro to the airport, but one problem: we suddenly had to change the train and wait for quit a long time for the other train. So we were delayed, and came to the airport 20 min before take off!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check in. We found it after 7 min (big airport!) Long line, but we cheated and got in first. 10 minutes left. Running to the gate. Hand luggage chech. Also a looong line. But we got past that one to, by using this great exuse: our flight is in 5 min, please, let us throuh... lol
we got there in time. And then the flight was delayed by 30 min.

We had to land in Marokko first, but didnt change air plain. Still, they checked our passports. Then we landed in Munich (Munchen), and had to change air plane. The airport in Munich is /very/ big. We landed in terminal 1 (I forgot my book in the air plane, Michael Moore "dude, wheres my country". But i've had that book for two years without being able to finish it)) And we had to get to terminal 2, with was a 15 minutes walk. Once we got there though, we found out that we couldt check in because the check in for our flight stopped 25 minutes before take off, and we were there 19 minutes before. That sucked. But, since it wasnt our foult that our air plane had landed in terminal 1 instead of 2, and that it was delayed by 30 min , we got in to the gates without any boarding
pass. By pure luck. So, there we were, running to our gate again. But we did make it :)

So after that trip, we were quite exhaustet.

In Copenhagen we stayed at my little brothers place, and that saved us alot of money. To bad though, it rained almost every day. We went to "tivoli" (hmm, tivoli.. amusement park?) the zoo, the city... And we also went to visit some people my bother knew outside of Copenhagen, in Hillerød. There we went to see a castle or two, one which the royal family of Denmark holds as a summer castle, and one which is open to the public. I dont remember the names. It was shure big and... big though. Very.. royal. XD

Nya, ive written too much already, ill stop know. And if anyone realy read it all, i hope i didnt bore you to death. Take care!

Song
Den dag kjem aldri

Den dag kjem aldri, at eg deg gløymer;
for um eg søver, eg um deg drøymer.
Um nott og dag er du like nær,
og best eg ser deg, når myrkt det er.

Du leikar kringom meg der eg vankar.
Eg høyrar deg når mitt hjarta bankar.
Du støtt meg fylgjer på ferdi mi,
som skuggen gjeng etter sol i si.

Når vinden lint uit lauvet ruslar,
eg trur d'er du som gjeng der og tuslar.
Når somt der borte eg ser seg snu,
eg kvekk og trur det må vera du.

I kvar som gjeng og som rid og kjøyrer,
d'er deg eg ser; deg i alt eg høyrer:
i song og fløyte- og felelåt,
men endå best i min eigen gråt.

The day will never come

The day will never come, when I forget about you;
for in my sleep, I dream of you.
In night and day, you are just as close,
and best I see you, when dark it is.

You play around me where I walk.
I hear you when my heart beats.
You always follow me where i wander,
like the shadow follows the setting sun.

When the wind casts the leafs off ground,
I think its you who treads there.
When I see someone turn around,
I for a moment believe its you.

In everyone who walks, rides and drives,
Its you I see, you in all I hear:
in song and music,
but even better in my own tears.




I wanted to write this song down, because its very nice and peacefull. And, i wrote it because i feel sad about what happened to Neo Italy. I want her to know that we all want to comfort her, and I hope she feels better soon. Take care everyone!

Pics and art
Ive desided to follow some of my own tips...
Im gonna write how i create my drawings !
But first i have something really important to say: there's a difference between original art and NON original art! With this i mean to ask you: can you remember this when you rate and comment? Not only on my art, but everyone elses too. If someone just "copied" a picture, its not an original. That means that the artist isnt doing much of a job! He or she are only good at copying! But! On the other hand, if they made some changes in the picture, they may take some credit. So please, please, consider the fact that it is alot harder to draw originals than it is to "copy". Think about that when you vote/rate and comment!

My art!

1. Imagine
I think of an image that looks nice to me, this is when the inspiration has to work ^_^

1-2. I picture in my head the exact possitions, clothes, accesories ... It is really important to me that all of this is clear before i start to draw, so i dont have to stop up to think about all the details when im in the middle of drawing.

3. Sketching
I try to recreate that image onto paper, and this is when i draw the sketch. Normally (almost always) i use grey pencils, and draw very light, so that it will be easy to change the line or erase it.
Tip: try to avoid erasers! If you erase every time you feel that its not perfect, you will end up drawing nothing at all. And it takes away the pleasure of drawing. Draw lightly instead, then you can change the lines often. Use the eraser when the pic is done and just needs a final touch.

4. Outlining
When im done with the sketch, i outline the drawing with pen (black looks good, but i use blue alot too), or i continue to use the pencil, but make the final lines stronger. Then! If i used a pen to outline: i wait untill it dries up and then i erase the pencil lines. If i continued with a pencil: i normally dont erase anything at all, but if i think i really really need to (like, if i made a big mistake during the sketch) i erase it...
Tip: when using a pencil, be careful not to smudge it out with your hand/palm or fingers.

5. Light and Shadow
Actually, i put shadow where i think it looks nice and cool, but i do follow some lines. You have to imagine where the light comes from, maybe from many places. And if its bright or dimm. Always ceep this in mind when shadowing. I always shadow first, and draw a thin line where the shadow will be. I can also do the same think with the light, but mostly, i shadow first, Then outline where the light will be (light can be in haire, eyes, clothes, skin..) After outlining the light, i colour (or use grey tones if a pencil is used). Then i eighter leave the light spots white, or give them a very light colour.
Tip: Its not nessesary with both light and shadow. You can also use just light, or just shadow. It gives a different outview, but can be just as good.

6. Colours
I just learned myself that i should be careful with colouring, and see if the colours i want are actually matchin eachother or not. Otherwise it can get messy. I like to use watercolour pencils for colouring, because the lines flow easily into eacohter, and its prettier i think. I personally hate colouring and leaving white spots here and there, or making some lines stronger than others because i have to draw the lines almost (and sometimes) on top of eachother. When using light and shadow in a coloured drawing, i try to use the same colour (instead of light blue and blue, just blue all the way) and just draw hard where the shadow is and light where the light is.
Tip: when using a grey pencil, try creating light/shadow by smudging the lines out with your fingertips, or make lines softer by doing the same thing.

7. Background
I hate backgrounds, theyre boring to draw... =p Thats why i dont draw them, or make them extremely light and almost not present.. Backgrouns can be cool, but i have to work on it. At the moment im working with colours and try to be good at that, so backgrounds will have to come later.
Tip anyway: dont overdo it! If theres to much background, the main image might dissapear into it. The same goes for details. And be careful when you colour everything. If the background isnt a part of the main motive, than you should give it a different tone from the main motive.


Well, thats about all i can think of! I hope it will be of use to someone!
