Dear graphic, please jump off a virtual cliff...

... but please leave your hair behind.

I tried to make a graphic out of an old drawing, but now when it's finished I really, really hate it. In fact so much that I won't even show it here. I'll show the only part that I like, the hair.

It's very choppy in some places and huge so DON'T TRY TO OPEN THE FULL SIZE IMAGE. You have been warned.
But at least it's not that bad, I might use it for another graphic later.

And I'm getting tired of the banner, so I need make a new one sometime soon.

Do you like this hair?

Harry Potter is taking over Stardoll :-O

If there was a most-random-blog-post-in-the-world award, this post would win. For sure. But loom what I found in the Starplaza today:

There's nothing special with the shirt itself (except for its ridiculous price, I wonder if anyone would actually buy that)... but look at its name! It stands for Defense Against The Dark Arts (or probably something else, but this is the first thing that jumped into my mind.
And no, it's not because I'm so HP-obsessed that I need therapy, I've actually started reading some other amazing books. I'll make a post about that here or on The Voice some day.

Sorry, I have no drawings or graphics to show today, only a half-finished one and it looks so bad that I might just as well start over again. Or actually I have many drawings but I really can't be bothered to go all the 5 meter-long way to the printer and use two minutes of my life on scanning them. I'm just that lazy.

I'm sorry if I just wasted two minutes of your day, I'm just so bored that I finally decided to keep my blog active :D

When magazines come alive

A weird title, I know. It's the title of a drawing/graphic/whateveryoucallitasdfghjkl I've been working on.

As you can see, the model notices a KitKat on the table and it's so delicious that she becomes alive and reaches out of the magazine to take it. :-P (watch out your magazines don't do this at home lol)

It's made 100% by me, and I decided to keep the outline/sketch because it gives the graphic a special cartoon-ish effect. The background is not very creative, but it works nicely as a contrast to the bright red chocolate.

The only mistake is that the KitKat is too small in comparison to the magazine, just pretend it's a KitKat Mini. Problem solved.


Opinions PLEASE? :D

Practice graphic

Hello, people. No, I'm not dead. But it's been so long since I made a graphic that I decided to make a new one. It's not a big thing, just a dress I found on Topshop for practice.

It turned out even worse than I expected, my expectations were probably too high lol.
But I still like it a little bit, the cute necklace almost makes up for the horrible shading.

What do you think?

EDIT: I lowered the opacity a bit because the shading looks too choppy. Do you think this version is better?

It's not as bright, but the shading is blended in more smoothly.

Do you like the new makeover?

I know, the colour scheme and stuff is similar to before, I'm just not very good at blog layouts. But I like that the banner is actually ME. I used this picture of myself:

This is hopefully not the end of the changes. Look forward to more updates and stuff tomorrow.

Opinions pleeeaaaaseeeee??! :3
