mmmmm... ice cream...

after completely ignoring the month of march and april, it is now time to at least greet the month of may which has gone halfway by. hello, may. after a long long long long hiatus, i guess it's time to restart with a new layout and some updates now that there is nothing distracting m-

oh a butterfly!

i thought it would be nice to play around with layer masking since i just learned the trick of it just five minutes before i began making it. I was surfing around for a scan that would match this lovely tune I found, and in the end chanced upon it. after resizing it a little, and masking it countless times with the use of purples, orange-reds, browns, three shades of grey and black... it ended up like this after the application of both colour dodge and... soft light. spiffy! it looks almost nothing like the original, and i'm so happy with it, and layer masking itself. the perfect way to make spiffy stuff and have fun along the way: layer masking! bow down to adobe photoshop, minions!

oh, drawing again. been having really funny dreams since wednesday. it was a nice one on wednesday, where i had a glimpse of lucienne's life when she was younger and still living with her parents. she was so happy, running after her friend up the stairs to the observatory to have a look at the strange starry skies of caerst. as always in my dreams, something weird happened, and the stars and planets became something like a torpedo and attacked everything that was stationary. so lucienne's little friend went "everybody keep moving!" and they all hurried out of the observatory. oh why do i always wake up at the best bits of a dream ):

thursday's dream included black silkworms, and somehow the school canteen only sold black silkworms and nothing else. i was forced to buy and catch a look of everybody eating those crispy black... things like it was normal. as always i had to be an exception, and i had some very familiar faces telling me "what's the big deal? it's just black silkworms!" ...right, and they're totally normal urban fastfood. ha.

friday's was blurry. can't remember anything from it though, it was a good dream and had nothing to do with worms or lucienne. but i can't remember it anymore. always happens D:

mum stocked the fridge with ice cream btw! chocolate caramel sundae and chocolate vanilla sundae, oh love! :D i love the class tee!
