Here’s the piggy bank I’m transforming into Hyacinth, the ballerina hippopotamus from Fantasia. I sculpted her snout and cheeks this morning, so she’s ready to start painting. I draped some of the material that will become her tutu over her as well!
I’ve got a lot of sculpting and painting projects tonight. :D
Here’s a mockup for a Steve? figure I’m going to make out of a blank Mighty Muggs doll.
Pictures from a fun interview I did in LA Teen Festival.
UNF. I need to draw this fierce lady SO BAD.
I was thinking of drawing her in her outfit from the Vogue “Fashion” video.
IT’S TEA WEATHER!!!!!!
Marvel, we need to talk.
I came across some of your toys last night at work, and I found this. You need to fire both the designer of this packaging and the art director that OK’d it.
YOU ARE MARVEL COMICS. What the fuck is Comic Sans doing on your packaging?!
Words to express and words to conceal.
To create a dream or describe the real.
Words to engage and words to reject.
To be in agreement or to curtly correct.
Words to make love and words to make war.
To hide what we know or share what we saw.
Words meant to sooth and words meant to fight.
To darken a day or lighten a night.
They’ve no life of their own or are worth e’en a cent,
But that which we give them with certain intent.
To use them with care with our own inner light
Whenever we use them to speak or to write
Is a goal for all people, but one hard to achieve-
When internal impulses appear on our sleeve.
Words are forever and words can be lost.
They seem to be free but can carry a cost.
Knowing and caring are two different things-
As is being aware of what words can bring.
Words can sing and words can cry-
To express our deep feelings or reject and deny.
How we use them defines our own way
To all those who read or hear what we say.
AMAZING.
Outfit from April 9, 2011
Dress: Domino Dollhouse sz. 22
Necklace: Paperelle @ Etsy
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11
This dress was almost sold out by the time I ordered it (as my birthday present to myself!) so it’s a size smaller than I would have liked to get. Hence, it cinches my torso in quite a bit! I simply couldn’t resist it’s cupcakey wiles.
I’m super excited about my Strawberry Dress! I can’t wait to draw it. I’m hoping it will come in time to wear it to a wedding I’m going to the first weekend in October. ^_^
As always, your model is 5’7" and 265 lbs.
The plot was pretty meh. It was like Hercules meets the Lion King with the Norse pantheon. Overall, it was campy and funny. The SFX were great.
HOWEVER.
I am sick and tired of these weaksauce romantic subplots. Thor and Natalie Portman had no chemistry whatsoever. Natalie Portman turned into a blibbering idiot anytime Thor was around, despite being really freaking competent the rest of the time. I’m sorry, movie, but I don’t buy it. You need to spend more time than TWO FREAKING DAYS (was it even that long?!) together to even being to get to know a person, let alone start crushing on them hard enough to be all “OMG I LOVE U ILL COME BACK JUST FOR YOU MY LUVVV. MWAH!”
No, I don’t buy it.
Hollywood, I am tired of these romantic subplots being shoehorned into every movie. As a lady, I am not interested exclusively in romantic stories, and you do not need them in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE to try to get my lady ass to watch it.
[Disclaimer: I have not read the comics, so I don’t know whatever nuances I’m missing out on Thor and Natalie Portman’s relationship, or even if Natalie Portman was in the comics to begin with.]
ALSO.
If you’re going to make the badass warrior chick wear sleeveless armor, at least make it equal opportunity and show a dude warrior sleeveless, too. Otherwise, it just reads as shameless, vapid fanservice to me, and it’s pissing me off. Now I’m going to go read more Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor to cool off and find my happy place.
