...or "Happy Holidays", if you prefer.

Hey guise, I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate), maybe in the company of family and friends? c:

If not, I hope you had a great day anyhow.

(you may want to skip the first section if a) you've already seen Avatar, or b) you don't want to hear me talk about it) ;b

I saw Avatar today, and oh my goodness was it ever awesome.

I'm not usually one to advertise things such as movies, but this is an exception.

The CG graphics in this film were so amazing, everything looked so real and believable (the 3D version probably helped with that too). You could almost imagine these events taking place somewhere, in the future. The setting chosen for this plot couldn't have been any better. Honestly, it was breathtaking to just see the vivid, beautiful planet and its multitude of wildlife (and maybe also because the creatures were awesome too; a lot of them were six-legged). xD;

This is one of those rare movies where the amount of money spent in producing it was well-worth it. I mean, where else will you be able to see an awesome race of /alien/ people form bonds with partner creatures, and fly/ride them through the world? xD;

There was actually a very nice, simple and not overly done plot to bring this story to life. The characters were all rather good depictions of their roles (I especially liked the personality of Neytiri). :3

And the music just blended in perfectly with the plot, so it kind of just became a mood rather than just sticking out as a separate sound.

...anyway, I won't go on about it any more, but seriously~

If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it.


---[everything in a nutshell about artwork]---

I AM SO PROUD OF ALL THE ARTWORK I ACCOMPLISHED IN THE PAST WEEK.
...-passes out-

No, actually, I am. ;b
I hope you guise enjoy your presents!

OTHER FRIENDS~
You shall be getting your gifts soon. c:
I apologize for the wait, but yush, I've been busy and all, between gift art and being with family and all that yummy stuff.

HOPEFULLY YOU WILL LIKE YOUR GIFTS.
(I have this awesome idea for yours, Emily... then again, it might not be that awesome but I like it anyway, haha) x3

So, gift art still to come:
- Emily ('cause you're awesome that way)
- Yukiko (...you haven't even been on dA lately)
- Takara (...you don't even have a dA) xD;

ANYWAY.
I am a very plain, boring person in real life.
(or at least, I think so, my friends will tell you differently)

But I think that's mostly because my life doesn't vary day-to-day. So every day is the same, and I rarely have new things to talk about.

SO.
I have decided that I am going to create another fursona, only not blue or anything special like that. Just a plain, silver-black wolf-fox (I haven't chosen yet).
I'll probably use her in more serious artwork, because blue wolves and feather-maned wolves do not really seem to fit in that kind of situation. ;b

I've just remembered, I must get to work on a new ID for 2010! O:

That put aside, I still have to get to work on those reference sheets.
Goodness knows I've put them off long enough.

I'm thinking I should start with Lyreia, Arcaia, and Ink (the fursona I mentioned earlier; guess where I got her name from?).
Afterwards, probably Kes (my persona), Clarette, Ares, and... OMG NATHANIEL... I forgot that his is only half-finished.
Then I shall slowly complete the rest.
My goal is to get at least the first three done by the end of break. :3

Wish me luck!

Pretty typical, pretty boring.
But hey, that's life when you're stuck inside your house for most of your life, right? ;b

NO SCHOOL YAAAAAY!


...other than that, today was pretty awesome.
Now let's hope the rest of the break shall follow suit!

Oh, and Aki and my sister have found some awesome games to play!

So, if you're bored, try these:

Untangle -- ...the last two levels are taunting me :<
William and Sly -- personally I find this a rather relaxing game, save for the unexpected surprise near the end
