...

Had an idea, tried it out, looked horrible, gave up.

Hmhm.

I've known for a long time that my painting skills and my "color-knowledge" are pretty much non existent (not to mention my drawing, but that'd be a whole new post), but in the last few days that fact has been hitting me in the face every single second. Seriously, all-the-time. Needless to say I've been super depressed and with mushrooms growing from my ears (now that's a pretty image), so I thought I should go back to the basics - really basics - and start off by using some photos as a reference and classic paintings as well.

Did this one in about 10 minutes (because I'm really slow and rusty), and used a picture of Yu Aoi - who's so beautiful, by the way - from the Honey and Clover Live action movie as a reference.

Just hope this kind of exercise turns out to be helpful. I really need to see some results here... my work has been frozen for about a year. Nothing new, nothing good. Pft.

Blue blue blue.

Looks like all I post nowadays are random videos and photos. This one's really something though. Makes you think about all the good things out there...hmhm. Fullscreen highly recommended :)

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

Inspirations?

After years and years I just realized how good this song is. I'm such a slow person. Pft.

Also, I've been having the most horrible and longest art block ever, so I could use some inspirations. Keeping an image bookmarking account does help, but if anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to share.

Updating~

Forget everything I said about trying to keep this place alive. All lies.

Anyway, Ella left yesterday (sorry about all the boredoooom) and I thought that the pictures we took would be a great excuse for me to post something. Unfortunately her camera went kappouf and is nowhere to be found - which is really uncomfortable...I swear I didn't steal it lol.

Also, we met Sofia (www.a-xofia.deviantart.com) last tuesday and went out for a walk in Lisbon. And even though I've been to the aquarium a bunch of times before, it never ceases to amaze me. I should have been born a fish. Yup.

These ones were pretty photogenic.

And this one was pretty creepy.

Last one: a really cuuute seahorse.

Art post coming up soon. Hopefully.

Whoa.

Still trying to figure out how everything works around here. Let's see if this time I'll be able to actually keep a blog for more than 2 weeks :P
