Arashi! Arashi! For Dream! Comic Collection #2

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 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?

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.
