post full of randomness

[dzioo]

first of all, thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday! I know I didn't comment on all your posts, but I did see them, and I'm very grateful for your wishes <333


it wasn't much of a birthday really, so there's nothing really worth mentioning, BUT, there's one funny thing. some time ago my mom got an orchid as a good-bye gift when she was fired from her job. she doesn't like them so she gave it to me. I've been taking care of it since. once, I commented that of all flower plants orchids are the only ones that I like. so on my birthday both my grandma and mom bought me new orchids... so now I have 3... the old one dropped its flowers a month ago, and I had to cut out around half of its roots (because they were rotten) so it doesn't look very effective now, but the other two are beautiful^^

the weekend was filled with stuffing this time. on friday we had a barbecue party at colleague's place, and I felt like a pig afterwards, so much eating>< then, yesterday, we celebrated my mom's name's day, so it was another round of stuffing>< because of it, I didn't feel like jogging or drawing at all, so I sat down and... watched 5 Harry Potter movies^^; yes I'm lame, laugh at me, I don't care.
while watching the movies, I remembered why I hated Rowling at the end of book 7. she made so many random choices to tie up everything. I won't mention the deaths, because I wanted to rip apart my book when Hedwig was killed, but there's one thing I remembered while watching the movies. Harry and Ginny. so yes, I know that Ginny had a teenage crush on him, I know that he saved her life once or twice, I know that she's his best friend's sister and all, but... I never got why it had to be her, it felt so out of place and sudden. and I remembered that the only girl I liked with Harry during the books and movies was... Luna. she was weird, true, but they understood each other, sometimes even without words. there was just so much chemistry between them>< I'm not ever sure that there are any other people considering this pairing as possible but yes, that's what I would've preferred to happen at the end:/ random comment, but I had to get it out



some drawings I need to post here:

first is the commission I did some time ago on DA, and never posted it here. it's the first time I did such a dreadful drawing, with someone dead and so much blood o_o but it was really fun, even though I felt a little sick while looking up blood pictures on google^^;


second is the picture I did for one of Polish summer conventions. it was the first time I was asked to do such illo, and probably the last anyway^^; I'm not one of those famous artists here, and nobody wants to have pictures done by someone nobody knows^^; it also pains me, that I've spent over a week working on it, and almost nobody gives a damn. I know I shouldn't care about it, but it hurts when you pour all your heart into something and there's no response. and I really did give my best working on it, spent so many hours trying to figure out how I can make it so nobody regrets giving me this task and so I can at least get close to previous artists' level. sometimes it seems to me that artists, if they're not well known, are only appreciated when they draw fanarts of popular series.


sorry for randomness and lengthy post^^;

Wait, you're saying you watched five HP movies in a row?! Now that's... extreme XD

And you know western storytelling - every story needs to be neatly wrapped up, all pairing up done and all that. Which can be neat, I admit that. But sometimes the more open endings can be very nice to. That teenage fangirl-class fanfic writing that was the epilogue is, well, an odd thing. to put it mildly ^^;

Someone needs to commission you to do a piece with cute kittens and orchids. Much healthier google research for you ^^
Or ooh, I know! I just have to give one of my OCs a kitten... XD

[dzioo.livejournal.com]

I did^^; but in the span of 2 days, don't worry^^; and I usually skip to the parts I want to see, so it's not like I watched the whole thing

hey, even eastern stories come with closed endings. but if you decide to make it so, you should consider your wroty as a whole, and wrap it up in a manner that makes sense><

oh no, that'd be very unhealthy search. because that way I'd suffer from kitties' overload^^;

that wouldn't be too bad^^

I was talking to cornerofmadness the other night about HP and the pairings and neither of us liked Ginny with Harry, either. I'd be okay with Luna and Harry, though my personal choice would be the trio remaining a trio. XD I knew that wouldn't happen in a children's book, though, unless perhaps Mercedes Lackey was writing it, so I didn't hold out hope, but Ginny just seemed sort of crammed in there to me.

Wow, the bloodied art is very very evocative. I love the care you took in emphasizing the rain falling - that's really impressive to me. The crying character is definitely in agony, and the viewer can see it.

But the poprock concert is just too much fun! There's a lot of action in it, and I love the hint of upper inner thigh we see in the lead singer. XD (Sex sells, baby.)

[dzioo.livejournal.com]

hahaha such a strange coincidence XDD but yeah, Ginny just doesn't make too much sense. aside from her crush on him, that was obvious in book 2, but other than that.... neither of them showed any interest>< so I was confused when they started going out><
LOL, I wasn't surprised when you said that XDD

thanks! well, I planned to make it as rainy art, so making it look believable was a must^^; I'm glad it shows the emotions it's supposed to

thank you^^ and yeees, sex sells XDD every singer is bound to showing some skin^^; sadly, people don't really care about this drawing. I've spend almost 2 weeks on it, and I got only 4 comments on DA:/ which is a little depressing actually:/

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the whole, "HARRY IS JEALOUS OF DEAN" thing seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere to me. Hee, no, I'm not too surprising in regard to that trio.

I don't know why they don't like your poprock drawing, I think it's great.

[dzioo.livejournal.com]

exactly! one volume they were totally ignorant of each other and the next... what the hell?

I don't know either, really^^; at least I know that convention's commitee likes it, and that's the most important to me

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I mean, I know teenagers switch likes/dislikes like underwear, but still. >_<

That's very good. I hope more good things come out of it, too!

Happy belated birthday!!

Yeah, I still have mixed feelings about Ginny. She's a fun character, just odd for Harry. As long as Hermoine is with Ron, I was basically happy

[dzioo.livejournal.com]

thank you dear!

she is, I really like the fact that among all Weasley siblings, she's one of the most powerful (I said one of, because I don't know how powerful Bill or Charlie are), but I still don't like her with Harry>< Ron and Hermoine are adorable, that's true^^;

[qashqai1.livejournal.com]

Harry/Luna FTW, wiadomix X'D mnie też niespecjalnie Harry/Ginny przekonywało, a tak ogólnie to cały ten epilog z parami wraz z dziećmi obdarowanymi imionami po zmarłych był żalowy. XDDD
Zapchanie po grillu...

I KNOW THAT FEEL BRO
Zajebisty jest ten art na Balcona~ chłopak z gitarą wygląda da bezt. Ale łapy to kopiowane nie? Tyle ich jest XD
BTW skoro Kontenera nam odwołali, to jadę się z tobą spotkać na tego Balcona >3< XDD

[dzioo.livejournal.com]

mi sie wydaje ze to jest raczej malo popularny pairing^^; czy mi sie tylko wydaje?
mnie nie przekonuje do tej pory>< tak jakby Rowling na sile szukala sposobu, zeby Harry byl zwiazany z rodzina Rona. tak jakby przyjazn nie wystarczyla>< nie mam nic przeciwko takim zakonczeniom, ani przeciw nazywaniem dzieci po przodkach ale tu mi akurat nie pasowalo^^;

THANK YOU BRO! at least I'm not alone ;w;

dzieki! heee, pewnie ze kopiowane^^; narysowalam sobie kilka wersji z roznymi gestami, a potem powielalam

yaaaaay!!! to szukaj mnie albo w sali artystycznej albo na stoisku Irugami <333

[qashqai1.livejournal.com]

I agree with pretty much everything evil_little_dog said here. I really think that when we get to the time that Harry hooks up with Ginny that he's really too busy saving the world and keeping alive to be worried about hooking up with a girl. I don't mind them together once I got used to it, but I agree it seemed to come out of no where.

I love both of your artworks. The agony in the first is palpable. I don't even need to know what happened here to feel it. The second one is just made of fun and action and excitement. The important thing is that the people you did it for like the work. As far as DA... I don't know... I used to check it pretty regularly, but they changed something and now it's hard to find things, and most of the time pages don't display right. I know I'm not the only person experiencing this either, because I searched for a fix and found lots of people were experiencing it. Unfortunately most of the advice being given were stupid elitist stuff like "Just refresh the page and it will be fine." You know, because I want to always load a page twice. So I don't know if that problem could be effecting your traffic or comments to that or what. I think it's great work.
