Wish on a Wing - Art and ramblings from a girl named Yun

Well, today was pretty much a bore. Stupid Playscheme. But in a year I can get paid (12 hours a week at £5.25 an hour. For what will be a 16 year old in a recession doing what is actually very little work that doesn't sound bad at all)

And with boredom come crack. And seeing as me and Kiri are still riding the Sailor Moon/Dragon Heir crossover waves from expo, that's what I did.

( I present to you... DRAGON MOON!! )

( And something which does not destroy Dragon Heir for everyone... My own art! )

In other news, I'm still trying to decide whether Fairytale is the greatest masterpiece ever of whether someone should confiscate that bloody violin and all it's double stops.

May Expo was awesome!! Went both days for the first time, and it was amazing. Highly exhausting though.

Good Points!

- Getting driven to the station in a sports car. Was totally not expecting that... And one of my none-expo going friends was there, and took a picture of our saturday group! We had pictures already and it was only 6:30 in the morning.

- Getting down there before expo even opened, and realising I was on the same bus as John Aggs and Sally. Then managed to bump into Volker (looking extremely awesome as usual) and then Sonia and Matt heading hurridly in the opposite direction.

- Buying so many small-press comics that my bag had broke by 2:00. I had to be rescued by mangazebra who luckily had a spare bag with her! Thank you muchley! I owe you one!

- Sweatdrop meets and ITCH signing. So many awesome people I met. Thanks to everyone I met, you guys were all awesome. And thank you very much for putting up with me - I seemed to float around not doing much.

- Seeing Codename:Pepsi in print! So many late hours were put into that, so it's amazing to see it actually finally printed!!!

- And talking of making comics, the DIY Comics panel was also amazing!! I was a bit late - I heard Pud over the loud speaker from the artists alley, ditched all my stuff and left it with Kiri, grabbed my markers and artist alley piece and rushed over there. It was really good!! The advice was certainly helpful!!

- Also thanks to Willie for letting me sit behind the ITCH table for an hour! I even managed to sell something while Willie was caught up talking to Paul and Kate!

- Getting interviewed for Italian Web TV... Not quite sure what this was about actually... We had managed to gather everyone for the Sweatdrop meet, just sat down and started talking when this lady comes up to me and says my Ed cosplay is very good. We think she's just going to leave it at that, but she then says that she has an Italian Web TV film crew with her and would I mind being interviewed?? Completely freaked out, I said yes and spent the next 30 seconds fretting (particualry as by that time I'd lost well over half of the Ed costume) and then made a right fool of myself in front of the camera... They then persuaded to interview Kiri and I believe they caught Marbles as well?? Anyway, the website is here http://www.cooltoon.tv but I don't speak a word of Italian so I don't know what's going on there...

- Just generally everything. So many awesome people were there and you all helped to make my days really extra awesome!! So thanks to everyone and anyone I ran into!!

Seeing as there weren't any real bad points (apart from the tiredness and general "aghh my feet hurt") we shall move onto pictures!

( Pictures under here!! )

So, I guess that wraps it up. In short, Expo was awesome and I will definitely be back!

I'm sitting happily listening to music, when Feuer Frei comes on and I realise that unless I manage to yank my headphones out very quickly, I'm going to be deaf very quickly.

Didn't quite manage it in time, so my ears are ringing quite a bit. My Ipods on half volume, and yet is lying on the floor with the headphones nowhere near my ears and I can still here it as loud as if it was coming out my laptop speakers. Something is odd here...

Chocolate=yes
art homework- work in progress

My room is such a mess at the moment. Art stuff, sewing equipment and random bits of foam as I attempt to finish stuff for both homework and school.

And it's all Arakawa. Everywhere. All I need is a mini cow in my bedroom and I'd have the whole picture...

My Ipod is here! YAY!

But I couldn't get into it... it was some of the nicest packaging I've ever seen, but it didn't change the fact that I couldn't get into it.

It's my birthday today!! I am finally 15 years of age. I no longer feel quite so young. Though I'm still a youngster compared ot most people.

It has been a very awesome day. Family finally seems to have cottoned onto the entire "buy Japanese influenced things and she'll be happy" thread, and that helped by the fact both my grandparents have stores that sell momiji goods near them, it was a very momiji filled day.

And then to round it off, I was watching "James May: My sisters top toys" because the temptation of watching Captain Slow doing girly things is too great to miss, when I spotted yet more momiji.

In the form of one of Joanna's chelsea poster display thingy mabobbies...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b008l2vq/James_May_My_Sisters_Top_Toys/ - around 36:21 is a good picture, but they appear from around 35:00 to 37:00

Just sent the email of to Willie with the completed pages of Codename:Pepsi

WAHH!! I FINISHED A COMIC!!! IT'S GOING TO BE PRINTED IN AN ACTUAL BOOK AND ACTUAL PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BUY IT!!

The reality of it is still slowly sinking in... But I'm pretty happy right now.

Thanks to xsayaotanashix for helping me with my codename. I love you!

In 4 days I'll be 15... now there's a scary thought.

I really haven't thought about it much... been too busy doing other things, such as drawing Codename:Pepsi and worrying about exams.

But it's just really weird to think about it. I think of my birthday as the mid point of the year (a month early maybe, but it's a nice point to remember) so half the years already gone by... I guess time does get quicker as you get older.

And anyway, it's not like there's a grand amount of surprise in it. I know exactly what I'm getting, and I even know that the chances of it being delivered in time are around nought (And nice 16gb silver ipod nano. My previous mp3 player was tiny and getting veyr beat up)

So anyway, only 4 days till I'm 15... *goes back to what she should be doing*

Watch. Now. Lose yourself in the madness.

Cookies to whoever can guess what the hell this is... Not quite finished yet, obviously.

And now back to work on Codename:Pepsi.

Journal rework as I was getting really bored of the old one. So something bright and colourful for a change. Yay!

I actually feel like I've got a decent amount of stuff done today. But it's parents eveing tommorrow, which means not only does all work go down the drain but also I have to listen to school reports. Gah.

And I also am apparently seeing Twilight this Friday. What have I got myself into???

( And a screenshot of what I've been working on today )

Talking to a friend who I haven't talked to since Year 8. She was one of y best friends and launched me properly into my love of manga.

Words cannot express my happiness right now. Screw work. I'm talking to her.

I LOVE YOU JEONG-HYUN!!!!!

Edit: And now I even have her address to send her stuff with!!! This day keeps getting better and better!!

And I am back. Thank Goodness.

44 emails, 600 lj entries and I haven't dared look at dA yet. Well, I refreshed the page and than ran for the hills...

Email almost done, LJ through... why is there so much stuff?? And why did so much happen while I was away??

Right at this very moment, I am in a Hotel. A very nice Hotel. Whoo!!!

There is a reasoning to this madness. Namely the 8:00am flight I have have to catch with my family tommorrow morning... we're going on holiday to Tenerife!

Not that I'm very excited... I absolutely hate air travel. Hate it hate it hate it. It's extremely painful...

Not much else going on here... I made playdough today, I think that's the only interesting thing to say...

Apart from, SHINY NEW FMA *SQUEE*!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AMAZING!!! LOVE IT!

Must get Codename: Pepsi thumbnailed tonight...

But I've had a brainwave for the ending, so all is good. And it is very epic.

Queen Greatest Hits=on and Hot Chocolate=awesome.

Been working pretty well today... I think clearing my desk yesterday has helped. It looks so much better and actually has increased my work rate my miles, and hasn't got to crowded yet...

So some pictures of my desk before and after, and some pictures of my walls.

( Under Cut ^^ )

Today was a good day. A very good day. One of the best I've had in ages actually.

In English we had a cover teacher, and he was handing out the worksheets when a friend goes "Hey Amanda, look at the top of the sheet". I literally almost scream... flabagasted that this....

is on the top of our worksheets. RomeoxJuliet screenshots!!! And not just one, but SIX!!! It just gets better and better... I must ask tommorrow why there are RomeoxJuliet screenshots.

The rest of the lesson was very boring as I was mainly distracted by the pretty pictures...

And then it was physics. And we were doing propbability experiments with cubes. Being the mature students that we are, we decided to build towers. But on kid went one step further and built...

His name!! This was very awesome...

The rest of the day was kinda boring, until we got to german. Where we decide that it's a good idea to sit and listen to German pop music (not just pointlessly, it was relevant and had some interesting stuff in)

( See under cut for videos )

Just been sorting through my art folders and harddrive, as it was getting a bit unruly... it feels beter now. There are still some things I need to go through, but I'm not fussed about that right now.

I really need to get better at organising and naming files....

Ahh well, I'll live. I've never lost anything... *fingers crossed*

Got lots and lots done today!! :)

Finsihed off my bag, Ilfirin's Character Sheet, 2 comic pages, done part of the Cindy Sherman project and completed my physics homework. Whoo! More things out the way.

I think I'm gonna try and get Chem done before I go and watch Being Human (which scares the heck out of me sometimes but I watch it anyway)

Playscheme tommorrow XD. I actually don't mind going so much. I've got a bit of a plethora of things to do and sketch, and my mp3 players fully charged (with music that it doesn't matter if the kids start listening to it... I worry sometimes). So yeah. And after this holiday, only 6 more lots of playscheme to go before I can get paid.

( Pictures of my work today under cut )

It's almost half term!!! One more day at school...

So, draw, draw, draw. I think I've figured out the manga studio page thingy. With printing some stuff off and comparing varous floppy issues to it.
