The journal of an eccentric writer...

*yawn* Work, yay. -_-' It went well enough albeit slightly boring today...

Other than that though, I am such an industrious slacker. How can I spend four hours reading a different book while one of the summer reading books sits less than two feet away from me? I amaze myself sometimes. And not in the good way. Tomorrow = day of reading about transcendentalism. >_<

Anyways, the real reason for my post is that I finished a new picture for my Masters of Their Field story. And it's watercolor. I haven't done watercolor in about two years. O_o Y'see when my family moved from New Jersey to New Hampshire halfway through my sophomore year, my Art 2 class had yet to start wc. I'd personally bought my supplies though so figuring I'd use them eventually, I packed my pad of paper, brushes, and paints into my art supply box and largely forgot their existence. A little over a month ago, I found them again, and decided to have a romp down memory lane. Overall, I really like how this came out, especially the skin tones which turned out decent. Watercolor's definitely my color medium of choice. *grin*


( Slightly suggestive so it's behind a cut just in case. )

Next time expect a character post centered around Count Jean-Marie (including a watercolor of him) since I loves him so.

Mmm, even more rain today, and no school again. Unfortunately, today I've actually had to work since I'm pretty sure there'll be school tomorrow. I have this big ass 4th quarter computer project I need to finish. *flails* And yet in spite of that, I'm about to post a drabble meme, but drabbles don't take very long, and I haven't done one of these things in a while...

gakked from lacecravat,

Every person on your friends list gets to request a drabble (read drabble: 100 words exactly) from you. In return, they have to post this in their journal and write a drabble for you. Post all fandoms you're willing to write for. Your friends can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, or pretty much anything they want, unless the author has previously mentioned that they will not write it. They comment with what they want, and you write drabbles and post it in your journal.

Fandoms I'll Write For: ( Damn, there's a lot... )


*goes off to be productive now*

Wow, I still can't believe this idea is actually sticking. *grin* For the last two weeks, I've really been writing a lot for it. I've also decided I want the story to end up as a heavily-illustrated novella. Currently I'm writing it in play format though because a) it's surprisingly easy and b) because I also want to eventually make this into a comic. Like that'll ever happen. >_<

Anyways on with the pics…

Now to prove that Nathaniel isn't always a twit, I have drawn him showing affection to one of the things he likes very much: tea. This pic is definitely going in the story too so I decided to change the short scene that goes with it from play format to regular story prose and post it too.

( Mmm, tea... )


( Dimitri/Nathaniel about to kiss )


Coming up in the next D/N story post:
-a plot outline...hopefully. I've got it about half done
-some expression sketches for Nate and Dimitri
-a picture with an actual background *gasp*
-maybe even a title for this story O__O
