Hey all~!

Thanks to everyone who has come and visited my page. I'm surpised that anyone does, considering how I have to little time to do art any more... lol. Actually, I've done many sketches, but can never finish anything. BUT!! I promise to give whoever gets 10,000 a drawing even if it kills me. And it might. So don't all click too quickly now, ya hear?

Anyways, to everyone out there, and I'm so glad that I've met so many wonderful artists and friends on da. I would really love to be around more often, and will hopefully finish all of the things I have started one day (maybe soon).

So what did I think of the movie? Overall I found it very entertaining! It definitely had a different feel from the other movies, and I think it was a welcome change. There were a few parts I didn’t like too much (like the first scene) but there were some really enjoyable moments. Still, it was too incredibly rushed. I don’t know how someone who hasn’t read the books would have understood it at all.

One thing that really stood out in the movie was Harry’s acting. I was so impressed with what he did in this movie. It seemed like even in scenes that were set up poorly or generally lifeless, he gave a spark to them. The other ones that shone out to me were Ron and the twins. xD!! I just loved Ron’s convincing and humorous lines, even if they were rather reduced than in other movies. He’s just so good at acting clueless. As for the twins… omfg, they are so the Monkeys. lolol And I just love their talking in unison. One other upside was Dumbledore. I must say, I think I like the new actor a bit better… both portrayed him in different and really interesting ways, but… this one didn’t sound like he was always taking his last breath. ^_^;; definitely more active, and he handled all of his lines very well.

As for the downside, two actors that really disappointed me were Hermione and Lupin. In the first part of the movie Hermione held true to the character in the book, as seen in the first two movies, but in the end all I could see was little prep. “Is that what my hair really looks like from the back?” Yes, I’m sure the rational Hermione would through their mission into jeopardy to take a closer look at her hair. And really, her high pitched screaming gave me the WORST headache I have ever had. O_O; holy migraine. The second person that disappointed me was Lupin. What really put me off at first was his appearance, of course. Moustache… but even more than that, he was just so greasy that he reminded me of Snape. xD! I dunno, it was just totally off. Also, the way he acted was nothing special and, IMHO, didn’t at all capture Lupin’s character. He was just a worried guy. It’s like “Hi Harry, my name’s Lupin. Insert plot here ” Considering how rushed the whole movie was, I guess that’s the best he could go, in these circumstances. If given the opportunity for more of the MWPP plot, it might have been better.

An other thing I really liked was the animals and creatures in the movie, even though the computer animation wasn’t seamless. Buckbeak was really interesting, even if not completely what I had pictured. I really loved the first flight scene, even though it wasn’t true to the books. Also, I had really really downed hopes for Padfoot, so I was glad that he was fairly decent (if a bit small… Gary Oldman sized you could say.) One thing that really caught my attention was Moony, though. At first I didn’t like his design, but then I was really interested in how they made sure you could see the human features within the werewolf. Usually they are just portrayed as regular (or slightly more dangerous looking) wolves, so it was nice to see something different, with the longer limbs and no fur.

I also really like how they played with the time travel, weaving into how Harry and Hermione helped themselves in the past, more so than in the book. It was really interesting how they got it to all work… but I would have really liked to see Snape getting his head hit on the tunnel walls when coming back from the shrieking shack. Overall, I didn’t like how they handled the “climax” just because of the speed and lack of plot development (though it wasn’t as horrible as Ginny in the last one… gah!). The feelings between Sirius, Harry, Lupin, and Peter, given the gravity of the situation, just didn’t do it justice. And that scene really revealed the one (small) complaint I had about Sirius… Lupin had to practically get on his knees to hug the little guy! Still…. xD!!!!!!!!!! They were bickering like a married couple!!!! OMFG, that made my movie. That, and the tap dancing spiders (that part was just wonderful, including foreshadowing too!)

Anyways, overall I was happy, which isn’t surprising because I wasn’t expecting much satisfaction from this movie. Still, I think it’s the best one so far. The first had better plot development (which was really necessary for a beginning…) but I just liked the overall mood of this one. Maybe because of the change of director? Still, this was a good movie and I’m planning on watching it again (after I get Chetan to watch the first two… don’t want to confuse the poor boy too much).


wow, that's long.

Project from hell done! That means Jenna gets and art preview update!! ;o; Please help me out and give me feedback. I really need someone to beta these things...

First up: Is anyone surprised to see Oruha?!?!

Oruha and Clover

This was started on St. Pattie's day, and the theory was that she was going to be COMPLETELY ATTACKED BY CLOVER. So... I never got around to actually drawing the clover. But I did to the OMFG HER HAIR IS INSANE thing. I actually had trouble keeping her hair all the same style because I've drawn it so many ways... I think I'll eventually add clover in. I was going to be lazy and just photoshop it in, but I have no confidence in my photoshop skills. ;o; Does anyone want to colour my art for me!?!?! Please?!?!

Next in line: I liked someone's hair, thus I drew it.

Yay clips and pearls

ur... so, the drapery will actually have a pattern of this cloth that my rents brought back from Thailand. I don't like how I drew it. I used to be good at drapery. at least I can still do insane hair. Will look much better when coloured, when ever that happens. Now, I have something crucial to decide: Should her arm go forward or back? Back means we get some... cleavage. I didn't want to draw that during class because engineers aren't used to seeing these things (except the guy sitting in front of me had a pornish desktop on his notebook X_X) Thoughts?

And last, but not least: Jenna has freaky designs!

Jester and Mask

... I... don't... know. ::gets doused by green slime:: err, I started drawing this mask on the side of my page, and I kinda liked the design... and the internship meeting was boring, so here she be! Originally drawing in tights >.< I'm starting to add other clothing. HELP! O_O; What should I do!! Once again, I hate the folds. Other areas I want advice: The clasp at her neck and waist... look stupid. I need better designs. Advice? Also, I was trying to make her look like she actually has muscle, which is hard for me to do because my model is scrawny. ;o; I need meat... Any thoughts? (KC, I know you do muscle well...). And, what the hell should her hands be doing!? Was going to make the top one holding a flame or something (yay, let's set my hair on fire) and the bottom one... holding cloth that isn't there... so... I don't know. (Also, that thing off her ear is going to be big feathers... incase you were wondering.)

Sigh... this is the part of art I like best, the design stage. but... it's followed by colouring, which I don't like that much . ah well, it must be done... unless others want to do it for me. ^_^_^!!... probably not.

Alrighty, I've actually been drawing a bit this past semester but haven't seemed to finish anything. That could have been because I actually wanted to pass my courses, but my grades tell me that actually paying attention in class doesn't make any difference anyways.

So. Here are my unfinished works. They may get finished one day. I would like advice on some of them so please comment.

Alice's Play Room - [link]

Michelle was reading my Alice in Wonderland... which meant that I had not only inspiration but also reference pictures in class! So... I want this pic to be incredibly involved and completely cged eventually... dark, mysterious, and full of toys from wonderland. And a large jabberwocky, of course. He's going to have transparent wings eventually. So... advice... Please give me ideas for the BG!!! they're going to be on a chessboard with clams/dice/rabbits/queens/cats/moss/mush rooms around... so... anymore ideas?

Chinese Girl -
[link]

I used to like this one, now I'm sick of it. I wanted to draw a chinese "witch" in a medicine shop, supposedly putting poison on her nails. now... I have no idea what to do for her clothes/bg. Thoughts?

Sky Gypsy - [link]

Next in my gypsy series. I'm going to have her hair and dress turing into clouds! But, I have to think up a dress to put her in first (no, I'm not leaving her naked). I was thinking of frills, but does anyone have some ideas/reference pics? I was thinking of doing it a cultural type dress, but I have no idea which culture would be suiting it!

Spotlight -
[link]

Surprise, more oruha. At first I was going to make this one simple but... heat transfer was slow. so. I think I'll have fun CGing this one. Things to think about: under her corset, I was thinking of having a little frill of cloth because it would seem uncomfortable... and I wouldn't want her to be uncomfortable... but it also may be less sexy. Should I keep or get rid of it? Also, for the wings I was thinking of having them kinda torn and decaying or something... not just the generic pretty. Thoughts?

Skin - [link]

uh... not a work in progress! This was done around halloween time. I wanted to do something different and festive... and came up with the concept of a girl with see through and sagging off sking. so... I didn't really get that, but you can kinda see her bones through it. Anyways, this is just a weird sketch!

Thanks for listening to my ramblings/leaving advice.

So, my hardrive crashed and deleted all of my art and pictures that I had done in the past year.... That makes me very sad. To say the least. So for now I think I'll just be trying to recover what I have lost, instead of doing new art in the holidays like I had planned. At least I had alot uploaded.
