"Let the dragon ride again on the winds of time"

Yesterday I went to dragonmount to get updated on the latest news of Robert Jordan. A black screen with a message that turned my whole body cold met me. Robert Jordan, real name James Oliver Rigney Jr, had past away on September 16.

After being diagnosed with the rare blood desease amyloidosis in 2005, he gave us hope as he never quit fighting. He updated us on his health, and was sure to answer his fans' questions as often as he could. I had started hoping he would get through when I read that he was gone.

Thank you for cheering up a third of my life with events and characters that made my heart fly. I've drawn pictures, I've learned most of the poems by heart. I still haven't figured out who killed Asmodean :).

My warmest and most sincere thanks to Harriet, Wilson and the others who stood you by till the end and who somehow will end your fantastic series with A Memory of Light, hopefully just the way you wanted it to be.

Thank you, Robert Jordan.

Weeks, months - ah, what's the difference, ey

Yeah, um. So I promised a picture couple of weeks after new year. Well, quite a lot of things have happened since then. I've moved to a new city (instead of the second largest in Sweden, the third largest, I think it is) to be together with my boyfriend again. I've gotten a new job (hence being able to move), and naturally, a new apartment to decorate! Whee, love decorating and moving around furniture and being able to buy a lot of new things without feeling guilty :D.

So, the weeks turned into months, but now you at least know what's happened :). Yesterday I finally finished the picture that's been the stopping block for any new pictures I've thought of (must finish one before I move on, or else it won't be finished. I have too many half-started projects already.). So, the cute boy with the cat is finally in my gallery, and now I'll be able to challenge myself again. I must get better! Better at skintones, at blending, at light and clothes and nature and noses and mouths and buildings and... *rambles on into the distance*

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and... migosh - over 10 000 pageviews?! You honor me!!!! :hug:

It has really been too long since I updated this gallery, and I do have a picture underway. It will take a few more weeks, though, but I think those who likes pretty boys (and cats, although it is in no way combined with the pretty boy, i.e. no anthro ;) ) will be pleased. Me, I'm just having fun with clothes and laces for the moment. Three hours of drawing some few strips of crossed laces... Yeesch! At least I like the result enough to continue...

Anyways, have a great 2007 everyone, and thank you all again!

Time is money, friend!

Anyone who's played World of Warcraft know how easily one get's caught. Unfortunately, this is what's happened to me, and unfortunately, it gets in the way of drawing. On top of that, my boyfriend has got a job in a city three hours away, which means that week-ends are busy just trying to see him. On top of that, I've finally decided that the driver's license I should have, is going to be in my wallet in three months, goddammit(!), and on top of that....

Really, what is up with time? Why does it go so fast? Why do we use it up on unimportant stuff, when we have so little of it? Um, yeah, playing WoW is fun, that's why...

No matter what, I hope I can draw something within the month. Perhaps I should set up a goal - that's the only way I'll ever really focus :).

What idea would you like to see me draw?

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 6, 2006, 12:36 PM
If I only had more time, I would draw for all I was worth. Now, time is pretty much as rare thing in my life. And when I do have some extra time over, I'm too exhausted or uninspired to do anything of it.

So, trying to find inspiration from those who look at my art, I ask you, yes YOU, what you would like to see the next time you stepped into my gallery :).

Come on folks, let me know what's on your mind ^_^.

As a follow-up question, which of my pictures would you like to see made a print of (that isn't a print already, of course :) )

Comment away!
