Rock-n-Roll Journey to Mars

Done with my finals! I head back home tomorrow. It's weird, though... it really doesn't feel like it should be winter break already. Maybe it's because the weather here has been 65 degrees F and sunny since October. It just... doesn't feel like winter.

Also, art post time, yay! Some half naked ladies this time, so beware.

( Also some fannish stuff and steampunk stuff )

I drew a freaking TON of art this month, so it's time for monthly art post, whoo!

( Mostly aliens and superheroes )

In other news, it's been confirmed that the Batman Beyond comic mini-series comes out in June. Aaaaaugh, it cannot happen fast enough!

Hey, so remember last month when I said I'm going to do an art dump once a month? Well, I'm keeping to that. So, hey. Art dump time!

( An alien, a time traveler, and a lot of unfinished sketches )

I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving. Waaaant tuuurkey

I wrote a new short story for the Paper Bird world! :D However, it's pretty long, so I'm not going to post it on LJ. So here's a link to the properly-formatted DA version. You also get a small teaser.

Elephant Bones

This short is the story of two pianists, who, other then playing the piano, have nothing in common. Edgar Benoit is a rich older man, and Galwyn Stone is a poor young man who became famous by accident. After a friend of Benoit's hears Stone at a concert, he convinces his friend to set up a meeting with the young man. Benoit finds the young man to be a strange, ugly, poor-tempered person, yet is also intrigued by him. He continues meeting with the boy, becoming his friend. Things seem to be going well, except that Edgar ignores his friend's depression and sorrow...


Oh, and I've been watching the anime series Gankutsuou recently, and am loving it. I'll give a better review later, but for now I'll just say that its The Count of Monte Cristo in space. On ACID.

Sooo I wrote another part of Paper Bird. Sort of. More or less. Anyways. You can read it on my SheezyArt, or in the cut below. Lemme know what you guys think of it! And if you have any idea about what literature figures the characters are based on, go ahead and say so! I'm keen to know if they're really obvious, or more difficult to get.

( The Lamp Lighter )

So, hey, that writing contest I entered Paper Bird in? I won first place. :B I feel a small, awesome sense of accomplishment.

All my college apps are in except one, which is pretty great. Still need to send some scholarship stuff in. And I'm going to a parade Saturday night with some close friends, so that'll be fun.
