Hi, all. (: Short news.

I'm moving out tomorrow and flying to another country. Considering the limits of allowed baggage, it will affect my traditional art a bit. You'll see more chalk drawings, maybe even charcoal ones, but I leave all sorts of paint and brushes behind.

The tablet is packed though, so digital paintings and manipulations will keep coming.

Off to dream of farewells and new beginnings,

I didn`t know so much can happen in a month. No, let me rephrase that - in a month in Autumn.
Summer and Spring are usually crazy, and in Winter there`s less daylight = less time in general, but Autumn has always been lazy and sort of empty.

A part of my NaNoWriMo novel dealt - no, deals! I`ll finish it this year! - with emptiness.
I know it`s a real thing, I`ve seen it, we all have, duh, but this month was so crammed with both beautiful and tragic events (still not and probably never going to be over the Maxima collapse) that I had to split my mind in half (yes, another one - I mean, two) to keep myself dealing with chaos in reality and making up atmospheric fiction. November, u conspirator! Still made four new characters come alive, and that, for me, is the most awesome achievement this NaNo. I bet I`ll dream about them. And hawthorns, and black horses, and exploding suns.

Congratulations and hugs to everyone - the winners, the ones still writing and those like me who didn`t get to 50k but wrote up a storm nonetheless!

Off to December,
Alice

Hi, strangers!
Today I randomly (but with good reasons!) decided to create a stock account. Here it is - (somnia-stock). There isn`t much there , but I`ve already picked photos to upload in the next couple days, so.. stay tuned!
Right now this seems like a nice idea, but if I take the bad turn and start sharing pics of fingernails, halves of my face and blurry food, please, stop me.

Hey everyone. This is my first journal entry. Awkward.
*coughs*

That "31 Creatures" challenge of mine is slipping into the Pit of Procrastination, but I don`t know whether I should or shouldn`t feel guilty - I did start it to get my inspiration back and now don`t want to draw the creature #5 because I want to fulfill other ideas (I`m drawing a scene from a recent dream of mine - haven`t done that before). Maybe this isn`t laziness, maybe it`s progress. I`ll draw the creatures anyway, all in good time.

I`m listening to Metallica and Say Hi tonight. Yeah, quite a mix.. Anyway, someone should totally make a Supernatural video with Say Hi - Dramatic Irony. Even I`m tempted to do so and my vidding experience is non-existent.
