Off to Fanime tomorrow morning... I may or may not get time to check in over the weekend, but either way, see y'all Tuesday :3

I got blood drawn today by an outside lab for the first time in - well, ever - and the tech got it in one try. She made Kaiser's techs look pretty incompetent XD. I have veins! Really! And they have blood in them!

See, the problem with getting things done not at the last minute? You then think of a whole bunch of other things to do in the time you now have.

Okay. Artwork is matted, prints and bookmarks are made. If all goes well, the following pieces will be up for auction in the art gallery:
Winry
Goliath Brooding
Kraehe (print)
Sailor Saturn
Momiji

Prices are updated, items list is updated (I think - I keep finding things I hadn't put on there) and printed. Still need to lay out the display. Food is mostly made (want to make one or two more batches of crackers, but that's not necessary). New cosplay is finished (need to try it on one last time). I still need to pack, of course, but I think I'm on track.

....and in the meantime my brain is over here in the corner planning out how to make shoes. BECAUSE I'M NOT DOING ENOUGH ALREADY, ARGH.

Fanime is barely 4 weeks away so I'm in a bit of a frenzy. I probably don't need to be, but you have to understand the ADD sense of time: everything is either NOW ("OMGthismustgetdoneRIGHTAWAYpanicpanic") or NOT NOW ("eh....I'll do it later"). So to keep myself from doing things at the last minute (again), Fanime is very much NOW. I could go with what I have and be fine, as far as items for the table, but there's five pieces of art that I want to mat in hopes of displaying them in the art gallery (can't find anything on the art gallery on fanime's web site, which isn't helping any), small prints and bookmarks to make, and FOOD (we learned our lesson last year), and just generally assessing things and getting the display planned out. Oh, and I have to call the BOE because they've changed the rules and I need to get a sub-permit to sell at a separate location -_-;;. Which I can see the reason for, but it's one more thing to have to deal with.

Anyway, this means that things that don't have this deadline have been pushed aside for now. There's a growing list of "I'll do that after Fanime". Unfortunately some things can't wait, or wait long, like the overgrown weeds in the back yard. I'm sure someone with better time sense would be able to work more things in, but do with what we have ^^;

FMA: Hands Off by ~dragonimp on deviantART


The WIP of this that I'd uploaded got snagged by the group History of Cool, which kind of made me scratch my head because:

1) I'd put in in my scrapbook which, as far as I know, do not show up on the main page so how did they find it? The keywords I used are pretty specific to FMA and it's not an FMA group. Best guess is someone who has me on their watch list, probably someone I've forgotten about because they never comment.

2) This has got to be the most random group I've seen, what is it even about? As far as I can tell it's just whatever anyone thought was cool.

3) Where did they put it? It's in my scrapbook but it doesn't look like groups have a scrapbook equivalent, so where the hell is it? ^^;

But eh, I'm glad someone thought it was "cool" XD

I've been more or less forgetting about Elfwood for lack of material to put up there. Today I got a comment notification and, of course, it's a troll comment 9_9. The few troll comments I've gotten have all been on Elfwood and only on the two naturalistic pastel portraits. Those seem to offend people's sensibilities or something, I dunno. But the things they pick to rag on amuse me.

And gaaaah I should really clean that gallery out, old art is old XP

Part of the fun of inking with a brush:



Ed's change of expression was completely unintentional. I don't shy away from fixing things in photoshop but in this case I liked the inked lines just as well as the pencils.

This is the picture with the splat, too, but you can't really see it in the colored version (sadly).

I dropped impishclawmarks down to basic and now the entry view is friggin' ugly... oops. Their little chart of features tells you you'll have fewer icons and no scrapbook, but doesn't mention that the entry/comment view will be not your journal style but the lj default and only the lj default.

Don't want to give them the advertising money, though.
