@ScarMySoul - That was me moving those pics, then I was in the middle of writing posts telling you about that, too, when my Net connection went off, taking my post with it. Then for a while my connection was so slow it would take forever for this thread to load up, so I couldn't comment. Sorry!!
Anyway, your dad got beautiful collection of flowers!! Those Roses are very pretty!! I love Rose #4 with the combination of yellow and pink!! And I wanna that Kon plushie!!
Nice pics!! ^^

Chiyo: I love all of the summer colours in the photograph of the market in Ibiza. Open air markets always seem to have the best stuff. The photograph of the Ibiza graveyard has both a somber yet beautiful tone it it. I have never seen a graveyard set up like that before.

ScarMySoul: Your dad must truly have a green thumb. The moon flowers and hibiscus are gorgeous. Your photographs of the roses make me almost smell their sweet scent. The Kon and Meowth plushies are super cute!

@river chaser Thanks very much!!

@ Tombow Thanks! I figured it was either you or chi. Glad you liked the flowers!!

@ Edamame hahaha he does! He has fruit trees, a cactus garden, roses, grape vines, his house is beautiful.

I found this photo of our poodle, Olive. Taken when she was about a year old. We keep her on a chain sometimes, especially when visitors are around. She's around two or three now, and we haven't found a cute guy poodle for her. XDDDDD

To quote Roy, "I LOVE DOGS!" XD I'm a dog and cat person, actually.

I took this photo of 2 of my friends during our group guidance in school.

EDIT:

@Tombow I got permission from them! They said it's fine as long as I don't give out the names.

@Amethyst Sunset - You have a poodle?? Gah, she is so cute!!

@miracle_flame_alchemist147 - Your friends are cute!!
BTW, your friends know that you posted their pic on the Internet? They said it's ok??
(It's always a good practice to check. ^^)

I finally got the chance to take some pictures of the dolls that I made over the summer. ^^

Front
Back

I made the Rock Lee one first, then I made the Konata doll. The Rock Lee doll was my first attempt at this new pattern, so it's kinda off, but I'm happy with how they came out. The picture makes Rock Lee's outfit look darker than it actually is, for some reason though. And I worked so hard on making Konata's antenae and it was cut off from the picture! >.<
(Rock Lee = 16 inches from head to foot, Konata = 15 inches from head to foot)

Last night one of the frats had a "Graffiti Night", that me and a few buddies went to. And at this particular event everyone wears a white t-shirt and brings some kind of marker. And basically YOU DRINK! and draw on people!



This was my shirt from last night:

Close up

Exactly what it says

THATS RIGHT!

Another close up

A STICK FIGURE!!!

At the end of the night some idiot was throwing water around. So some of the maker bleed/ran out.

But it was still a great time!

~*Amethyst Sunset: OMG , your poodle is so cute, I want it!! I have a black one, but I can't always get good pictures of him since his hair blocks his eyes =P.
--
~*Chiyo: I like the picture of the Ed doll, and your street looks scary when its dark outside lol.
--
~*Steel Heart Alchemist: Awwwww, I love your dolls!!! The Konata doll has really bright blue hair, the eyes are done really well, too ^^. I like Rock Lee's belt and eye brows . Good Job!

The view from the balcony off the kitchen after the rain yesterday in the late afternoon. It would've been nicer if the billboard weren't there, but I couldn't cut it off without messing up what I thought was the most interesting part of the sky. =\ Untouched by Photoshop or paint except to resize

Beautiful sky shot there mei

St Editha's Graveyard

Wow. That's gorgeous, Chi. I want to hang it on my wall. Do you get any royalties when people buy your prints from dA?

Chiyo, that's a very very beautiful photo. <3

Thank-you both, and I'm not sure what money I'd get as I've never sucesfully sold anything.

Artist share seems really low... I want Chi to get her work's worth! =\

Aww thanks mei, but I doubt any will ever sell

St Editha's
Lonesome Stroll

I'm seriously thinking of buying one of your Ibiza photographs--perhaps the waterfall one. (Though I love the St. Editha's graveyard pic more, I'm not sure what my mom would say if she saw I had a scene that's clearly of a graveyard hanging over my bed...probably that it's inauspicious and suspiciously morbid of me. )

Under the tracks at a BART station. The supports remind me of shrine gates. Too bad I forgot that my camera was set to indoors mode, so the light came out really, really bright even though it was pretty overcast. x_x

wook at da puppyyyyyy!

My beautiful kitty, Crystal ^^!

Bacon: Miyuki's cute, as usual.

Milky: Wow. What huge columns! I like how everything is so geometric and glossy in that picture, and then there's the one guy sitting on the bench and illuminated in yellow light.

~Ed~Elric~Fan~: Your cat's eyes are beautiful~

~*Chiyo: I love the 'Rememberence' picture, making the flowers colored and the rest of the picture gray-scaled makes it look really cool!
--
~*ScarMySoul: Haha, I love those pumpkins, they're really funny =P. 'No Children in Site' is creepy.

I couldn't resist, she sleeps so cutely that I had to take a picture of her XP.

Warning! Do not look at this photo set unless you are prepared to view a scruffy cute farm kitten!

Macroing was mandatory.

Here is a lil something I slapped together first period when my teacher was absent. I made it with calligraphy ink and pens. I could have done more and made it look better if I found the big pen before I was half done, but it's still OK, lol.

Here is a thing I quickly slapped together with the new beginner's acrylic paint set my sis got me for xmas. I'm new to painting, so be kind please :[ I mostly wanted to just play with mixing paints and flowing brush strokes.

That looks neat. Your brush strokes are really nice and smooth. I love painting with Acrylics...

This is my favorite one I did [link]

Quite impressive. I hope I can paint like that some day. Is the painting actually black and white, or did you desaturate it?

Acrylics are pretty nice, but they dry fast, so you have to work quickly. I really like the wavy strokes you made there, and the pretty colors.


If we're sharing acrylic paintings, here's one I did a few weeks ago when I had a sudden compulsion to stay up and sit on the bathroom floor to paint with my acrylics and board canvases, just for practice or whatev. I wanted to see if I could capture/create expression, so it started off as being based on my face (Most artists seem to default to drawing faces that somewhat resemble their own, I've noticed) but then the skin tone was all weird and I like darker skin anyway, so it turned into this girl. (Bad photo of the canvas, but that's it)


For using acrylics in layers, I reccomend mostly working from dark to light in shades, as opposed to watercolors and colored pencils where you work from light and gradually add darker tones.

lol no I made it black and white to see what kind of effect I could get and I liked it. I'll post the colored version when I have more time.

@ Toby-Chan That its very impressive. I have to say you were wanting to capture an expression and you've done it well.

I really like that painting, Toby. Thanks for the tip about the darker first. I just kinda went at that first painting with a chainsaw, lol. And yeah, that was one of the toughest things I noticed right away about acrylics, is that it dries wayyy fast.

I know this isn't a photograph but I was very proud of how this came out. Its of Hitsugi from the band Nightmare. <3

Here is the black acrylic I did on canvass before colouring it with watercoluors. And the finished piece.

I so haven't been here in a while but I thought I'd share with you my photos that I've recently taken....

#1 White Flower

#2 Lavender Flowers

#3 Pathway
