Wow, there really is fanfiction communities for ANYTHING.
Escape Velocity fanfics on FF.net

8D

I've been an Escape Velocity fan since the release of the first game in the series somewhere around 1996 and still is. <3 Got to read some now.

For those of you who are not hard core Mac users check Wikipedia's EV entry.

I'm back from a long holiday and catching up on fics. Yay!

My sister successfully completed her military training and is now a member of the Air Force.

I still intend to finish those half-done fanarts eventually, I swear! I just don't know when I'll find the time.

Never again am I accepting a freelance graphic design project from my parent's friends. NEVER AGAIN. Friends make the worst customers.

It's about time I post an update here. I have a bunch of half-finished fanarts on the way but no time to work on these. :( And with the tragic death of my pair of pet doves, I'm not in the mood anyway.
Hopefully summer will grant me more free time to work on art. :)

And my journal badly need a new layout.

RIP

I know that I already mentioned my visceral hate of rabid separatists* in a previous journal entry but I saw something on TV during lunch break that only consolidate said hate.

There's a (ridiculous) debate about whether or not there should be a reconstitution of the battle of the Plains of Abraham, in the historical district of Quebec City. The problem is not financial as I first expected. No! Some people from the separatism movement claim that it would a horrible to commemorate a battle where the French lost Quebec to the English invaders. It's an historical event of massive importance in the history of not only Quebec but the whole of north America but noooooooo! We should do as if it never happened, erase it from history, because it hurts the feeling of some idiot separatists that completely lost contact with reality.
This is looking more and more like Castro's regime.

But what really takes the cake is the tv show itself. The interviewer was clearly and openly a separatist himself and what should have been an impartial interview turned into separatist propaganda. It was like listening to delusional psychiatric patients. They went as far as compare this battle to the invasion of European countries by the nazi. They lost what remained of their credibility at that point.

For this kind of people, being a separatist and fixating on events that happened in the 1700's and 1800's is the only way to be proud of your French Canadian ancestry. I'm a French Canadian, Quebecer and I'm extremely proud of my ancestry but that doesn't stop me from being a federalist. :-|

* Please note the use of "rabid" here. I'm a very respectful person and I'm sure there is decent people out there who happened to be separatists. I would gladly discuss politic in a friendly and respectful way with them if only I could find one who actually have real arguments to back his position in a civic manner.

Woot! Back from the holidays! Sorry for the lack of activity. My laptop's motherboard gave it's last bleep while I was on Holidays, visiting my parents. It's been coming for ages. Poor old laptop. Thankfully I have a shiny, recent iMac at home so I'm not stuck internetless. Yay?

Sadly I lost all my Holiday fanart doodles. :( And the possibility to read fanfics in bed. D: Now I've got a good reason to buy a new laptop!

Also, I gave myself a Christmas present: high speed internet! Bye bye evil dial-up!

Has anyone outside Canada heard about the political crisis here? We may have elections again. Only 2 months after electing the current government and just when we're about to vote for provincial elections here in Quebec. I still prefer elections to the alternative of a coalition government of people we never voted for.

Why am I ranting about this? Simply because I noticed on political forums how people tend to think that Quebecker = Bloc = Separatist. Hello cultural racism!

I'm a Quebecker. I'm a French Canadian of French ancestry. I speak French at home and in my daily life. I'm also a federalist. Surprised? You shouldn't be. Not everyone in Quebec is a rabid Bloc / PQ supporter. Actually, a majority of the voting population must be federalist or Quebec would be a country by now.

End of rant. Back to my happy self.

Just a bunch of DW / TW icons. I tried to please all tastes.
Feel free to grab as many as you want. Credits would be nice.

The last 2 are fanart I did.

I managed to patch up my tablet temporarily. With duct tape of all things.
Sooooo... i used it to do some TenJack fluffy fanart.

Dedicated to sarkywoman as I must admit that this was strongly inpired by her Stuck on the Slow Path series.

Comments and critics are loved and keep me drawing. :-)

( Under cut as it's fairly large )

FAY art.

Nixes definition from Encyclopedia Mythica:

In Norse folklore, they are water spirits who try to lure people into the water. The males can assume many different shapes, including that of a human, fish, and snake. The females are beautiful women with the tail of a fish. When they are in human forms they can be recognized by the wet hem of their clothes. The Nixes are considered as malignant in some quarters, but as harmless and friendly in others.

I messed up the hands and I still can't draw a nose to save my own life.

While I'm here: tiny TARDIS doodle!
I originally made it to use as an icon so it explain the very bold lineart.



And LJ icon if you're so enclined.
Please credit if you use.

Aww! I just got my tablet back only to realise that it's dying. I'm pretty sure it's the USB power cable as it's blinking on and off all the time. I'll have to order a new one but I just used my emergency fund on something as equally urgent so it'll have to wait for a bit. Until then, I'm back to paper and pencils.

My current tablet is a Graphire 3 6x8 but as the only Graphire still on the market is wireless, I'll probably go for an Intuos 3 6x8. At least I'll be getting a better tablet out of this. Stay positive!
And start saving.

Finally posting some real content on this journal. The very talented postal152 was kind enough to let me colour one of her pencil drawing. Have a look at the original picture with description HERE.

I'm not completely happy with the background but I can't pinpoint the problem. And I still can't paint mountains.

Photoshop CS, Wacom Graphire3 6x8, about 4 hours.

Brand new journal!
I created it to keep my fandom oriented activities (oh, sound illegal like that) from my art oriented journal.
I probably won't post much here, beside the occasionnal fanart or wallpaper but I'll be commenting now!
