Description This is a birthday present for
HAPPY BIRTHDAY honey for April! I hope you like it, and I hope the print reached you ok.
We are ALL missing you very much (I think I am a WoW widow now )

My reference image is from her gallery [link] is a bit over-exposed and textured so I found it hard to get a PERFECT likeness. But she is still cute all the same!

This was also my submission for Shattered Elegance's [link] Royo contest.

Grunge brush from
Feather brush (used as a base) from

Photoshop 7

Hell. I've missed so much.. I don't even know why I left in the first place! This is beautiful, just as all the rest I've seen from you. All beauty, beauty, beauty. How've you been? Do tell.

The face is what catches my attention the most. There's such a personality there. Looks like an intelligent and warm personality. Surely one of the best faces I've seen. So natural. And so outstanding. I know it's based on another picture, but hell!

I'm always... hypnotized by the hair you make. You can see every stray of hair. I just stare, stare, stare, and stare some more. It's wonderful. I can't think of anyone else who does the same It only shows the talent you have. Surely, you're going to be quite the name within drawing. And I'll be here to witness your fame.

Clothing... Tattoos... Everything... Outstanding. Oh, I've missed so much. this really makes me realize what "it's nice to be back" means.

Hope you're doing well

Kristoffer

Hello my Scandinavian bud!! How have you been?
I am good, is my birthday tomorrow so am going out for tea 2 nights in a row and getting some great art books from my parents!
School has been busy but fun, we have had some cool assignments, and I have had a lot of time to draw and do homework coz I've had the last 4 weeks off work, just a little holiday, every thursday and friday off! I have also been house sitting in that time for 7 cats!! they are cute, and I love my house-sitting independance! I still have one week to go!!

Am glad you like this picture! She does have a BEAUTIFUL face! To go along with her own beautful art (which we havent seen much of for a few months, I wish she would come back to us )
I paid a lot of attention to the outfit, soemone told me I should try and do more work with the edges, I have tried to put that into practice. And the hair - well, that's just plain fun!

Welcome back!

Actually, not too bad. Passed my confirmation. Now I'm about 36.000 kroners richer And I've a new laptop. Plus, I'm gonna buy my dear tarantula. Woot! And I've a beautiful girlfriend. Everything's nice. Even though I'm sick. I don't have school. Weee.

Right, so... Today's may 11... means... ooh, tomorrow. I'll remember that You'll have to tell me about how it was

Cool assignments, huh? I wish I could say the same over here. Well, we have had some interesting assignments. We've been making movies And I'm proud to say I've been chosen as the idea-maker every single time Just go on YouTube, and search for "Ariades". That'll show all the four movies

Ooh, sounds like a fantastic vacation. I wouldn't mind 4 weeks off Then again, spring break's nearing. I'm going to Holland this year looking forward to it. And cats, eh? Cats are cute. I've always preferred cats over dogs.

How could I not like your pictures? And I agree, her face is beautiful. I had a look at the reference image I can't say I know much above her art. I shall have to check it out.

Well, you're doing great Keep it up!

Thank you very much. It's nice to be back. And seeing I'm sick, I've already got 4 new images to submit^^

we did a video assignment, we were initially going to submit them via YouTube but then teach said we didnt have to. Mine is a video clip of a Dark Tranquility song with me miming the lyrics! I have always wanted to be a melodic death metal singer!

... a pet tarantula!! o_O Well, I think maybe having one would help me get over my fear of them ... or it would make me crazy!!

Ariades In reply to freyals [2007-05-11 12:53:27 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, sounds nice. Can I see it..?

Tell me what you think of my own videos

Pet tarantula. exactly. I've a weird thing with spiders... The small ones completely freak me out, but the big, hairy, deadly ones are... cute.

freyals In reply to Ariades [2007-05-11 12:56:10 +0000 UTC]

I am the opposite, I dont mind the small ones at all, but the big ones, well

I might have to put the video up, it's VERY B-grade but there are a couple of people who wanna see it.

Ariades In reply to freyals [2007-05-11 12:57:49 +0000 UTC]

I suppose my type of phobia ain't that normal, though..

I'm getting over my fear concerning the small ones, though. I try to pick them up.

Geh heh. You'll have to tell me if you put it up

I loved looking at this at full view! I like the detail in the bracelets and the flashes of light in the jewelry. You should body paint!

freyals In reply to pblodgett [2007-05-10 02:29:11 +0000 UTC]

it's one thing to paint digitally - but it's a compeltely different story with REAL paint!! - I cant paint! But that would be cool!

Am glad you appreciate the details, and sorry that the fullview is so darn big!

freyals In reply to DeniseGarbis [2007-05-10 14:24:21 +0000 UTC]

no, is not just you, all americans write out dates backwards - the month first then the day, we do it the other way around It can be confusing if on a US site and a date reads any numbers less than 12, then I dont know what date they mean. You would write mine as 5/12/84 but I see that as 5th December instead of 12th May!! Ah well!

3 weeks? *shakes head* This isn't even funny anymore...

I doubt the print got lost, such things happen very rarely, and it makes me really worried... ah well, nothing we can do, so let us hope everything is ok with her.
