Lunis

....-__- Um...yeah, I'm back. XD;;;

With:
A new (new in like 10 or so years) Christmas NiGHTS piccy. Ooooh, Elliot and Claris. XD


A Christmas JoD. Coming up w/ outfits iz fun-fun-fun.



If you're wondering about the dates, here's the short story: I was drawing one pic a day during Christmas as an Advent Calendar, and I drew 2 NiGHTS piccies cuz it was the season of NiGHTS. ^^ Note the JoD date. O_O And I wondered why I took such a long vacation from the forum. I'm still trying to figure out the over-saturation dealie with the pics, and yes, I now know that Will's hair is brown, not this hideous orange. ^^;; Looked dirty brown on my screen.

So yes. Lunis is back. If you're interested in my Advent Calendar, click my siggie.

I used to be a Detective Conan uberfan (not so much nowadays, sigh), but I still love Matantei Loki (and Matantei Loki Ragnarok, which is the 2nd "season"/series). I'm a huge Norse myth buff, and I like cutsey, so...Loki. ^^ ADV tried putting it out, got as far as vol 2 in Matantei loki Ragnarok (essentially starting the series right in the middle, no I'm not bitter), but if you're patient and liked the anime (which is a bit different in story), you can find scanslations for it.

I'm dying to know why Yami no Matsuei hasn't been fully complied. *weep* And I liked Fake, only cuz Dee is awsome. Also deeply satisfying was Pet Shop of Horrors.

I like a few Clamp titles: XXXHolic (Yuko is sooooooo hot and pretty), Wish, Chobits and Angelic Layer, and CardCaptor Sakura. I sometimes take issue with their storytelling elements inthat if they have this great twist, they build it up slowly, but the pay off just doesn't stick (the twist with Chii at the end of Chobits, specifically, and recently Himawari's deal in XXXHolic, I hope I'm not ruining anything ^^;.

But my all time fav is Sailor Moon. I'm just a nut for classic mahou shojou. I can't tell you why, but I just have a soft spot for Sailor Moon. Prolly cuz I grew up with it. That and Ranma 1/2. Man....I write too much. ^^;;;

Man, I play the DS version every day. ^^ I love AC, I can't wait for a Wii version.

I maxed out my house just this Feburary, and I just got my perfect town (for 2 weeks o_O) to get the last gold item, the watering can. But the thing about this version is that if your town has certain items that are frequent and rare, you really need people w/ different town types to get all the items (when you can play for 2 years straight and still not have every item, then its time to admit you need help XD). I loved having ppl over to my town so we could run around and play hide and seek (and whack each other with nets and shovels). Good times.

Every month, I rotate furniture per season and holiday. Right now my front/main room is all regal furniture, right side room is classic, the back is the mushroom series, the left side room is robo (my sister's fav furniture), and the 2nd floor is snowman furniture. It takes 4 ppl to hold onto more than 12 months of furniture...XD;;;

Town: AniCross (yeah so original....^^:
Name: Diz
I like having visitors, only I don't go onto WiFi as often anymore. If I do, I usually go on for an hour and its ususlly late at night (9-10 pm, pacific time). Is is ok to add your guys' code so we might meet? I'll help you weed!

I like Illustrator because I cannot use Photoshop. ^^;;;; I like how his hat makes him look like he's raising an eyebrow. Vector art is your friend.

Man, did I take a vacation from the forum....o_o. Hi, guys! Watch as school and work (no, wait, I quit, scratch that) destroy my life! Now, I wasn't sure if linking images like this was ok, but I'll try it anyway. If this is too graphic heavy, I shall cease and give you pretty peoples links. Onward:


And now, the what and why. This was my perspective final for last semester's art class in which, because of work, I failed spectacularly. Which is why i am currently retaking it. Our final was to create a spire/tower top and draw in the the perspective protocols given to us throughout the semester. So I took Seeds Tower (of course), broke it down and simplified it.

Now, first I had to draw a front view, then break down the different floors (as the tower itself consists of several tiers) into different topviews/cross-sections. To the left is the front view, to the bottom are the cross-sections.

This is the monstrocity w/ all the lines and vanishing pts. Having the front view provides how high all the tires will be. The cross-sections must be placed at a staging point (low on the paper, out of sight here), then reflected up onto the perspective plane. This process took approx. 6 hours.

The Cross-Section Construction
The Height Construction

I'm happy w/ the tower, but seeing as how I must better myself, I am attempting Bellbridge's tower for this semester's final. ^^;; I'll post it prolly this mid-december (as that is when the project is due).
