It feels super strange that I still have another day left in this weekend. I'm just not sure what to do with myself. I guess I need to keep working on a Cheshire cat design, to get one really solid so that I'm ready to go on Tuesday when I get back to school and I need to work on the huge painting I'm doing for the upcoming Sadie Hawkins dance. The theme is Alice in Wonderland, which is cool, or would be if it weren't the atrocious Tim Burton version. It was interesting, but I'm honestly just tired of him. Oh look! Tim Burton's coming out with a new film! It's kind of like this traditional story, but DARK and EDGY. Oh and the two starring characters, you've probably never heard of them, it's his wife and this really silly guy Johnny Depp. I'm sure it'll be really ground breaking and new and totally not just more pander for the goth kids who shop exclusively at hot topic and are equally edgy and dark. I just feel like, with such a cool theme, why restrict yourself to the mass produced poses and character designs that everyone has seen? Which is why I'm excited that I was able to snatch up the Cheshire cat because I could do so much with him. I really want to take most of my influence from the original illustrations and Luis Wain's later work with his "wallpaper" cats. I only have three weeks to get it done though, so I'm going to have to work really hard and really fast. Luckily there won't be any shading and I'm going to plan out the colours before-hand so I can make a huge batch of it and just get it done colour by colour and I won't have to waste time with mixing or sitting around trying to plan it as I go. Also as a side note, I used to draw cats all the motherfukken time, so I was pretty good (for my age) But I don't ever draw cats any more and they all kind of look like weird potatoes. So maybe I should make sure I can draw a cat before I try to paint an enormous panel of a cat.
Anywho, yesterday I went to the Indian Market with Arianna and it was a really great time. I love going there, and having her along was super fun. As per the requirements of nostalgia I got a tail and an opal ring. The tail is white an super fluffy and short, and made me think of this idea for a fursona which is a mix between a lynx and a Jacobs Sheep. (If you don't know what they are they are the most fucking metal animal in the universe.) And the ring is super gorgeous and I'm really glad I got it. It's made up of three wires that don't connect and end in little circular nodes with opals on them. It's really organic and pretty~
Anywho againywho. I really want to go shopping or somefin. I need to get some light blue tights for a choord idea I had, and I just want to go do stuff. Though of course I currently look a mess. My hair is just not wanting to cooperate, it's all frizzy and going everywhere. I need to dye this business some time this weekend .3. Uhmmmm also I just guess I have a craving for nice new clothes, and new things to make outfits with. If I learned how to sew well I'm sure it would be a lot easier to keep a new wardrobe, because You can just go to the fabric store with an idea in mind and make something awesome and new, and then you get to wear it. Omg. I could probably make some skirts and little shorts to start with, so I can get practice. It would be really fun to make an old school styled loli skirt, with the tiers on the side and all that junk. Goodness gracious -3- I need to find something to do.
