Does this count as "fanart"? I guess it does :D...

Hello dears!!

Happy new year to all of you!! :) I hope you had a safe and happy start into 2016...

I personally haven't made any resolutions for this year, even though I do plan to do some things and make an effort to do some things more often, in order to keep myself sane / get myself back from feeling utterly depressed, which unfortunately happened to be the way I was until maybe two or three days ago... I won't be going into that right now, though, but today I have already done two things:

1. I have started writing a song... It just really came to me so-to-say, and I must say, I already love the chord changes... :) What the text was about, I probably have more of an idea of than I think right now, but most of the time I do write lyrics / poetry, at least several years back, it was like "automatic writing" rather than anything else... This time again. I like it thus far, even though it is not finished yet!! :) 

2. I have listened to a song on heavy rotation for about an hour now, which is "Love's Not For Me" by Graham Gouldman, which was featured on the soundtrack to the animation movie "Animalympics". And somehow especially the line "And if you lose it's your mistake" always stuck out to me... I recommend you give this song a listen, and the movie is highly recommended, too!! :)

So, the latter really got very close to me... I eventually got out a piece of paper and drew the characters of René Fromage (a French goat) and Kit Mambo (an African lioness), but not in the usual picture shown of them doing what happens at the end of the movie (No spoilers intended!), but rather of them running towards each other behind the goal line... Behind them, they had left the running track which was also covered with and surrounded by barbed wire... And carried some wounds from this...

I must also admit, I have never really drawn a fanart of characters from an animated movie... Except for e. g. Sailor Moon and such, but never animals. I think you can say it like that. :D I hope you like it despite my non-apparent drawing skills...

Have a lovely rest of the day, dears! I really hope you will!!

Something's Fishy

Hello!

I could not really sleep last night, so I decided to paint something with felt-tip pens again :P... And somehow I have to add, I didn't know AT ALL what I was going to paint, but it was FUN, I can tell you :)!!

Something's Fishy

Oh dear. :) I will not explain everything you will see in this picture, though. It reminds me of my "ideal X-mas", although, yes, although I am NOT a fish. Also, I like the other fish doing striptease XD.

Below the X-mas tree, you can even read the words "Something's Fishy", and something REALLY is fishy about this picture. On the TV screen, you can see Kevin screaming because he is home alone... It is available on DVD in 3D now. With subtitles! And extras! Buy it! Buy! BUY!

Also, the fireplace reminds me of Harry Potter for some odd reason (Although I didn't want it to look like this, but it still does... Damnit!!).

I hope you had a night filled with sleep and/or filled with something you liked doing, dears! Have a lovely day and see you again soon!! 

Work In Progress (WIP) - Beautifying my FOLDER ^_^ (pt. 1)

Hello,

how are you all? :)

I got to buy *some stuff* at a shop in our district town today [transparent paper in several colours for the lantern I am planning to make, AND stickers, a set of three different washi tapes, and 100 separator sheets (I think that's enough :D.).

AND I decided to sit down and make the first separator sheet for the folder (I decided it would be Japanese ^o^), opened a picture on my pc and drew the entire character free-handedly onto a piece of white paper, and then glued it to the separator sheet. It is NOT finished yet, as it will be more colourful and such, but as for "right now", I feel that is enough:

Anger from the Pixar movie "Inside Out"
defending my Japanese skills of doom!

He says: "Be careful, I can speak Japanese!!" ^^ Right now I wonder why I didn't let him speak one of the German dialects (Öcher Platt) ;). Ah well, either way, he is cute!!

This is for the Japanese section... There will come more and more and more :). Look forward to that!! ^.^

Have a nice rest of the day, you guys. I hope we'll see each other soon!!

They're swimming in mineral water.

Hey dears!

How are you all? After my sister drew a minion today for one beloved person of ours, who happens to love the minions from the Despicable Me movies, I decided it was time to draw/paint something... I chose felt tips again. It is an underwater scene featuring all kinds of sea creatures... And I like it, really *so proud*.

If you do notice something strange here, I will not blame you for certain :P. I love the scared octopus, the chilling jellyfish, the sea horses with their share of the gold treasure, the waving sea star, the cool seals, the hungry koi carp with its blueberry muffin, the funky disco ray, Spongebob, the school of fish, the nosy sun, and what else is on this picture. :D


I hope you like it, too. Do you have any favourite animals inhabiting the sea? I tried to include all of mine here, but to be open, I guess there are many, many more!! :)


Have a nice day!!

Das ist kake mit dem Zumba-Zombies!! XDDD (Those getting the reference, I salute you!!)

Hello again!!

I just ordered four (!!!(!(!!!))) books (including two (!!!) manga (!!!) *slaps herself*). The manga are just from the series Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon/Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon/Sailor Moon/whatever, and the books are "Find Your Happy" (by Shannon Kaiser) and "Living Out Loud" (by Keri Smith). I think both can really help me right now, because I felt / feel somewhat stuck in a rut (creatively, for example).

If anybody has an idea how to overcome this & you say it before Thursday, I salute you. (Why am I saluting everybody? ANYWAYS!!)

Last night I drew/"painted" (with felt-tips) a picture featuring zombies doing zumba. Zumba zombies are well-known for shaking back and forth a lot as well as for having a great feeling for rhythm, or at least a better feeling for rhythm than usual zombies, which means basically that their feeling for rhythm sucks. Ahem.

Here*s the picture :

And you have guessed right ("I haven*t guessed ANYTHING!!"), I listened to Lady Gaga*s "Do What U Want" ... A lot. I somehow love my zomba crowd. :D

I couldn*t scan the picture decently, so this is a photograph of it, d*uh. But I hope you will like it nevertheless and forgive me for my absence. I wuv you all!!

Le Ciel (more or less a portrait)

Heyho. ^^

The past few days I have been working on various things, but mainly music. Today I thought it would be awesome to draw a little with my felt-tips, and since I did want to draw a certain person (Those who know me a bit better will know who :D ... Közi!!), I ended up searching for a good original picture & found one from the time when "Le Ciel" was recorded (or at least a photoshoot was done with the band Malice Mizer). I love drawing Közi, really :)!!

The picture itself is a *bit* minimalistic, but I still like it somehow! I actually wanted to call the picture "What does the artist want to tell us with this?", but I didn*t. Instead, I wrote some pseudo-French phrases in the upper right corner :

"Nous sommes dans le ciel.
Nous sommes dans l*air.
Il n*y a pas de peur."

(Then I wanted to find a word rhyming with this but granny* came in twice to ask for some wool to knit, so I couldn*t continue / think of anything ...)

I hope you like it nevertheless; here it is :

Looking forward to hearing from you guys soon!! ^___^

Rota Taro Orat Tora Ator

Aaand here*s the second entry (of three). I made this picture, which is related to the tarot as you may (or may not) see, around the same time as the "No Fear, No Sadness" one :

What I like about the picture in particular is that a subject I have created at some point in my teenage years was picked up again here.

What do you think (about it)?

No fear, no sadness!

Long time no see, but now you will be flooded with information, mwahaha!! :D

How is everybody? I am actually doing fine, have been working on a lot of stuff. I will dedicate one entry to each project, so that it looks like I made more so that I can explain everything in detail ;). Let*s start with a picture I have worked on this summer or late spring :

Probably I listened to Malice Mizer too much (not only because of the title). The text "My Memory Is A Liar" was put there because of a song Gackt sang once (and which was a cover I think?).

It is hard to explain the "subject" of the picture as it was basically created with the idea : "Let*s make something pleasant for the eye!!" There are clocks on a band (like rubber band), checkered blood stains, and mountains ... And some more stuff, too ("stuff" is a good description now, isn*t it?!).

AN ANNOUNCEMENT WHATSOEVER (Because I may forget to say it in the next entries!) : I*m able to film small videos now. I already made a video explaining the Lenormand but I am not sure when I can upload it. I might also make some in connection to being creative, so WATCH OUT :D!!

Papercutting? Calligraphy? Art? Music? Ohhh, the love!! :)

Recently I went to the dentist with my mum*, so we sat in the waiting room and I looked around and found some papercuttings on the walls, and now that my curiosity was awakened, I really have been thinking about ways to make them myself. This didn*t really help me, so I went to Wikihow instead and found this tutorial ... I really found the idea of using papercuts in all variations great, but I won*t tell you too much about my plans.

What I will tell you, however, is that i am totally in "construction mode" right now, which is good :). I really want to do calligraphy now, for real. I once made something calligraphy-like for my granny* for Christmas, but then again, she couldn*t read it ... I felt rather sorry then for confusing her, but that*s not the subject right now.

Also, I am currently - along with "Lost Souls" (Poppy Z. Brite) and "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon #6" (Naoko Takeuchi) - reading a book by Barbara Sher, called What Do I Do When I Want To Do Everything?, and it is very good. I followed the advice so far and really found some projects I could work on, for example, in my own room :). For example, I want to draw notes (Yes, yes, sheet-music-like!) onto the walls in the rehearsal room, and I want to make some furniture, or better said build something else out of them (Apart from the desk which I will really make myself ... With help, though ;)!), and I want to make, not a triptychon, but "one" image made of five (!) single pictures. And I want to have a corner with photographs & postcards & collages.

I need aaart~!! Also I started working on a new song on Friday. :) I hope I will be able to record it well & also to upload it.

What have you been up to? I really want to make an art journal, too, thanks go to Gala Darling & the person whose "Radical Self-Love Bible" she shared in her blog recently :). I am amazed because of this, so thanks for the inspiration!!

Dream interpretation.

This is my version of a dream interpretation for myself. I remember several weeks / months ago, I had a dream of wanting to get my first tattoo, and in the dream, I wanted to get an altered version of the above picture tattooed onto my left upper arm. It had the Finnish flag instead of the Japanese though, and it also featured lines that hinted at earthquakes in my holy opinion. The rest was pretty much the same.

The thing that broke away from the upper is a piece of the moon, the upper is the remaining part of the moon, of course. And there are people sitting on the piece that broke away ... I still don*t really know what this was supposed to mean, but since I am really planning on getting this tattooed, I need to find ways of getting the original picture for the copy I will get on my arm. Also, I wanted to continue practicing painting and drawing, and using my brand new oil pastels ;D.

I hope you like the picture now that you understand it a bit better ... Have a nice rest of the day!

Tarot, pt. 2 (High Priestess + Empress)

Hellooo!! :)

Okay, so today I made the fourth tarot card for my deck (The Empress), and thought it was about time to share this card, and the card representing the High Priestess here, too. ^_^

I will say something about each card underneath. Let*s start, shall we?

The High Priestess (II) :

So, what to say? The card itself, as you may know, refers to one*s intuition, and to following the latter. My sister* said the woman here looks like Iustitia (I hope I spelled her name right), but that was not my intention. She is holding her book as this symbolizes wisdom, and the notes and the blindfold point to her intuition (At least to me that makes perfect sense ;D!). She is following her intuition and doing what she feels is right for her, creating a new surrounding.

The next card is the Empress (III) :

Now this card shows a pregnant woman in nature who is enjoying the beauty of the plants, water, etc. surrounding her. She is standing in a pond, and in the background there is a bunny (It is supposed to be one!) and the water circles of Atlantis ^^. The card "Empress" stands for fertility and what this can create in one*s life. :)


The mediums used for colouring them were a pencil, and crayons, and colour felt-tips. I hope you like them. If you want to, you may always comment on the posts; I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Tarot :) (Fool + Magician)

Ohhh yeaaah. ^^

How have you guys been recently? I have been rather busy I guess ^^. But I decided to get creative today, and start working on my first full self-made tarot deck. Of course, I wanted to start off with my favourite card of every tarot deck, the FOOL. It was based on another FOOL card I have once made, and then lost (No comment), and I WUV it. And you know what WUV stands for. "Willy uses victory". Imagine Willy to be a Pokémon ...

Anyways, here is my beautiful, beautiful FOOL card ("Narr" is German of course ^^) :

Don*t you just simply love it? It was made with crayons and colour felt-tips, and yes, he has a cat face. ^^ It is an adventure that just begins, and it is playful, it is a bit (or a lot) surrealism-inspired ... I hope you like it just as much as I do. ^^

And here is the second one, and the last one I made today, the MAGICIAN ("Magier" in German) :

The book has "Es ist Dein Weg." written on it, which translates as "It is your way." I am aware that the magician himself doesn*t show up here, but I wanted to create the sense of "It is YOUR time to take the initiative!" ^^


Tell me what you think if you like!

Don*t envy the suns.

Good day everybody!

How are you all? Today I finished a certain drawing/painting of mine. It feels strange to call this "painting", bu then again, there are so many colours in it :P. Well, as you can see, it is called "Don*t Envy The Suns". Please try to find the meaning in it yourself; it does have several meanings to me already. And even though the woman really looks a bit strange, too, I like the picture.

Aaand I sort of forgot about this picture several weeks ago, and found it again this morning, and used my opportunity ;D.

What do you think? It was coloured with crayons as you can see!

Ah yes, and tomorrow, the CD "Gift" by ZIZ is going to be released! I hope I can purchase it ... And I found some flashcards and I know already what to do with them (NEW TAROT DECK, HERE I COME!!!). ^^

Have a nice day everybody!

Another picture :)

Good morning world! (It is 8.21am right now ^^.)

I come with another picture which I "painted" (with felt-tip pens) once. It shows the guitarist of the not-existing-anymore band Psycho le Cému, from Japan. He was my favourite member there, since he mostly dressed up as a girl and wasn*t afraid of talking in his dark voice at all. This isn*t said to diss Mana of course, but Aya surely knew how to surprise people :D.

I think I worked on this painting in 2004, since I registered my homepage those days and I uploaded it to the art section there. It doesn*t exist anymore, though. I also paid attention to only using two colours, and yes, his hair really was pink on that picture :)!! Hooray for Aya at this point!!

Work presented #1

You can find some of my works over at DeviantART, too (my user name there is khaosinkinema), as well as on my homepage (khaosinkinema). Today, I would like to show you a picture I once made using felt-tip pens. It was inspired by various things ... My favourite colour being turquoise, and to be honest, since I didn*t have a turquoise felt-tip pen, I had to do something else to create at least a vision of turquoise. Also, I must say I love the legend of Atlantis a lot, so I wanted to set a sign for my own vision of Atlantis.
