A current work in progress

Hello, all!

I've had this really crazy idea. Lately, I've been pretty obsessive about 2 things, Sailor Moon and Pink Floyd. So I thought of something insane. Some may hate me for it, some may love this incredibly weird creature... It is just a sketch, so I apologize for the raw nature of it.


SAILOR DARK SIDE OF THE MOON!!!! I made her to look a lot like Pluto and Saturn, because I think Dark Side would have a very distant attitude, not to mention an affinity for sound, since I am basing it on an album where there's quite the variety in different sounds. I think one of her attacks has to be based on the green pulse line thing, and others, of course, on songs or even just lyrics. I can work something out. I also just HAPPEN to have taken Japanese classes for the past 2 years...SO I can work out writing the attacks in Katakana :D I'll update this post once I make progress. Hehe. GET IT? PROGRESS. PROGRESSIVE ROCK *snorting laugh*

Ok...bye bye!

**UPDATE**

Now here's her with a very flat look, which I plan to remedy to. I like having this flat look at first so I can have a good idea. There is, however a problem with my tablet, so I can't adjust it so it works with pressure, which makes me sad. I can with hope remedy to this eventually, but got now I'll have to deal with the way it looks. Besides, this won't be the first Sailor Dark Side of the Moon. I plan on having an army of Senshi based on Pink Floyd albums. Dark Side being seemingly one of the more famous ones, I started on that one. 

I was trying to stay away from a too Saturn-y colour scheme...I think this works. See you at the next update! (I'll post a different entry when I get to the end of this ^^)


Shaded in the skin...I know, I'm not very good at this. Shut up >< NYAH. I'm practising. I'll get better eventually, then look back on this with shame. But to my taste, I thought it looked good.

Hallo everyone! Short post!

I haven't ever been really good at making at making plushies. But I fixed a cute little monkey plush with a tux and then I wanted to make some!

So my first attempt:


Here's the little guy! This was for a friend. 

I also made a Ducky Momo for another friend! If you have any suggestions or want one, please let me know! I'll eventually get a PayPal account or Etsy store. 

Thanks a bunch and see you soon!

Stumbleupon...Oh, what you've done to me!

So like any self-respecting university student with lots of assignments and essays and exams...I love to waste time. Therefore, STUMBLEUPON.

I haven't got any big projects started yet, so what I'll do is show you stuff I freakin' adore. Not going to lie, I was a goth in high school...and I hid this passion I had for fashion and girly things throughout. Well, now the internet shall know! I need to get it out! Without further ado, let me start geeking out on clothes!!!!

OH! And if you know who made these dresses, I'd be more than happy to post it here! I know some of the websites have sources to who made them, but if you or a friend want their names on here, no problem!

Ok, dresses for realsies:


Oh my gosh...yes....YES. YES!!!!!.

I want this dress so badly...This is a Christian Dior dress, and it's in A FREAKIN' MUSEUM (Metropolitan Museum of Art). I wish I could wear it! I just adore the gorgeous waist, and the way it flows, the length, it is a true piece of ART. I found this here, and I squealed when I saw it. Just...wow. WOOOW.

I can only hope that someday, I might be able to sew such a masterpiece...


Adorable.

This dress is made from recycled children's books! DYI, FTW!! There is only one face I can make that describes what I feel.....


I love this rage face.
.
I love Smosh. And if you're ever been on their website...well...you know about the Smosh Pit. It's just all sorts of awesome in there. A while back...they had this list up. I think it's pretty clear by now that I freakin' adore dresses. More than is probably healthy.

Well, here goes nothing (watch out, it's squee-worthy...)


So much win...HOLY SMOKES BATMAN. THIS DRESS OWNS.


OHMIGOSH. SO inventive...


OMG. OH my...nostalgia kicking in...


Joker??? YES PLEASE.


I don't know when...I don't know how, but I know something starting right now...I WANT THAT DRESS.


SQUEE LEVELS...HIGH....MUST...RESIST...SQUEALING...(Nightmare Before Xmas was my favorite movie as a child...it explains my weakness for gothic things ^^)


Personally, and the good ladies of Vanier Hall will agree with me, I think someone here at my university (maybe me...) should make this for our ABC+C party...(anything but clothes and cups party for those who don't know)


SONIC. SONIIIIIIIIC. AND IT'S THE CUTE, OLD CHUBBY ONE TOO! AGH! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!!


Star Wars. And 3D glasses. F*CK YEAH.


Old school Zelda. Old school Mario. 'Nuff said.


This dress can pretty nearly pass as a Sweet Lolita dress, which is already awesome as it is, BUT ADDING GIR MAKES IT INFINITELY BETTER!!!

THESE DRESSES. WOW. Those are my personal favorites, but you can see the rest on here.

Ladies and/or gents, you are all very talented. My goodness...I need to lie down. My squee-levels are WAY off the charts.

I love fashion inspirations. Those little sets that look like a character...

This website College Fashion... they made it SO much awesomer. I'll post their ensembles, and try to guess!


Who could this be?


Huh?? HUH?? WHO??


Real tough one here, amiright?



:D

SO, did you guess them all? If you haven't, here's the answers!

Now if you didn't guess right, DON'T YOU AGREE THAT THESE FIT PERFECTLY?

GOSH. Especially the Midna one! Like, I love it! The best part is that if you want to look like a character but aren't a fan of cosplay, you have this little subtle way of doing it! I personally LOVE cosplaying, Halloween is my favorite holiday. But it isn't for every day, so this is a great alternative.

They even post links (heheh...) to where you can get the items (bwahahaha XD) of clothing!

Ain't nothing like gettin' yourself a new tunic...

And oh my gosh, they did it for cartoon characters too!


Lisa Simpson

Pretty cute huh?

Yeah...I am a nerd. SO WHAT?? >=(

So, since this post was pretty lengthy, I'll leave you with that. Sorry for taking you on an epic journey to clothing awesomeness. But, now you have a pretty good idea of what I'll post. NYAH.

NYAAAAAAAAH!

Hallo, world!

My name is Ariane and I am a student! I study Psychology.

BUT... this blog won't be exclusively about that of course. You've probably guessed by the title that it will be pretty artsy. WELL IT'S TRUE. I draw and I sew. Other hobbies include: movies, music, video games, Stumble Upon and being a moron to make my friends laugh. 

So mostly I will talk about what I made, post some crazy comics, post other people's arts that interest me somehow (full credit and links to your stuff will be provided I promise!), post ideas for projects, tutorials, and a lot more stuffs.

In concordance with my previous hobbies, I'll also post about that stuff but probably less often.

Well, now that I've said hi and introduced myself, I'll be lurking about the internet now. Hope to see you often here!

-Ariane.
