Arashi! Arashi! For Dream! Comic Collection #2

[eggchan]

Look at how clean my art table is! Holy crap!!

I enjoy creating things. I mean, I graduated from an art school, so I better enjoy it.

Anyway, I basically spent the entire day cleaning today. I spent a good chunk of that going through my art table and cleaning things up. I literally was dusting every single nook and cranny of the damn thing... so I'm pretty proud of what I have now. I went through everything that I had out and put away all my school artwork unless I wanted to keep it out here.

I came across my intro to photography notebook and I was going through it, and ended up finding a lot of my black and white developed photos.. I always enjoyed that part of photography. Even though my black and white ones didn't turn out as nice as the color ones, I felt so much more of a connection with all my b&w ones because I had put my sweat and time into actually developing it by hand. I never learned how to develop color film, so all my black and white photographs are very special to me.

I found two photos that really struck me, still. I'm not sure why, but I felt a sense of pride when I looked at them and wanted to frame them and put them on my wall immediately.. but suddenly I thought, "These are the originals! What if I fuck up something in the process of framing it...?" so.. I ended up scanning them. Hopefully I won't just leave it sitting around on my HDD, and actually print out copies and put them on my wall.





I don't know why these two struck me, but they did. They're not fantastic or masterpieces.. in fact the berry one is super under exposed... but I actually kind of like that about it. It's really texture-y and has a lot of weight to it. Honestly the berry one is the one that I like the most, but there was also something about the other one that struck me as well. I remember when I took these photos, and I never really imagined that they would come out like this.

Anyway enough about artsy-fartsy stuff. I hope to have these babies printed out and framed, and on my wall soon

On to what I was really going to post about. I... on a whim decided to continue the Arashi dream saga. This was actually requested by soothing_sight, so I thought I might as well since I've never really gotten a request before

PREVIEW:




Again, this took way. Longer. Than it should have. And now I'm going to sleep before I collapse

Oh my god. SO curious about the context for this dream. Was this your dream or E's?

Most of my Arashi related dreams are not repeatable in a public forum

I lie. Most of my dreams are of Arashi ignoring me. (If I have an interesting one, can I request it? Maybe you can make it a goal: Record the clean dreams that all the fandom members have in comic form)

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

lol yeah it was actually my own dream and part of the one where Nino and I shook hands and fell to the floor laughing.

I think once I run out of stuff to do from my own dreams it would be interesting to continue and work on other fan's strange dreams ^^

[emodiva.livejournal.com]

I took a photography course yeaaaaaaars ago when I was still at community college and I LOVED it! All the work I had to do just to make one picture, it made me feel...I guess the best word to describe it was satisfied? That course was the beginning of my love affair with black and white pictures XD

The only Arashi dream I can remember having was: Aiba and I were BFFLs and we were walking along a road, and I walked onto this extremely tall curb and started balancing while walking. We were just giggling and talking and laughing, and then Aiba playfully pushed me and I lost my balance and tumbled down this hill and ended up breaking my arm. Everyone found out about it and was mad at Aiba but I was like "NOOOO GUYS, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! HE DIDN'T MEAN ITTTTTTT!" -__-

Did you take the photography class in high school, too? Or did you learn to develop them elsewhere? (Do you have a secret dark room somewhere that I don't know about?)

By the way, I really like that first picture.

And the comic is entertaining XD

[voleur.livejournal.com]

ahhh come clean my room, ok? XD yeah i lalso ove that feeling i get after i finish cleaning something entirely.

i really love the first photo. a lot. i like the second one too, but idk...the first one makes me calm. beautiful~

and i love the comic, bb. :D but ily more!

[koibito-moon.livejournal.com]

Hahah I had a weird Sho dream too.

We were outside at this park (bunch of people, and Aiba was there too) and Sho was going to take a bite out of his hamburger. I ran up to him and was begging him for a bite. "can i have a bite? can i have a bite?"

He really didn't want to, but agreed to let me have a bite anyway. BUT, he took the top bun off because the cheese was stuck to the bun, and he wanted ALL the cheese for himself. I was kneeling/squating next to him (dont know why, lol) and I went to take a bite when I lost my footing and fell on my back, Sho's hamburger landed on my face.

Everyone, including Aiba were laughing their asses off at me, but Sho had this look on his face like...omg...my hamburger??? Because he was really looking forward to eating it.

and thats how I ruined Sho's day in my dream. LMAO

[xnerdishh.livejournal.com]

Haha aww, that Sho comic is cute! I remember in one of my dreams Jun wanted me to carry him on my back during my race. I was like... *sigh*, okay Jun. >3>

[torowa.livejournal.com]

Gigglicious.

[soothing-sight.livejournal.com]

Oh well. I was right. I really didn't take the time to THANK YOU for this awesome sequence to the Arashi Dream comics projet. xDDD So great, so great.
Love how in the space of three squares, you manage to render the idea. That one with the Nino one are just too funny. ^__________^

I totally can't picture you and Nino falling to the floor laughing. *shakes head and smiles*

I was surprised to read my name up there. o_o You've gotten Leah (thefortysecond) confused. *laughs*

About those two pictures, can I just say how much I love them? I don'thave the backgrounds in fine arts to analyse them, but there truly is something to them. What is it with b/w that makes pictures seem mysterious and luciously beautiful?

[eggchan.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it ^^ Your suggestion was very helpful!

I hope that I can continue it soon!! XD

And yeah~ thefortysecond watches my vlogs and she's added me here recently, so I think I confused her XD a lot.

i love b&w photos. the lack of color and gain of contrast just makes any still moment look so much more meaningful.
