Trough the looking glass

... and the sun turns around the earth.



Never ever ask me if I take out the pest in the ass dog before I haven't had my coffee. It may result in a reaction similar to Tseng's.

Blame it all on 0_noctifer_0!!!
I just wanted to sketch one image. And ended up with three. Really rough sketches, no clean line-art.

( Rufus and Tseng  )

really - she's bitching that I have to work on the doujinshi. And poor me is sick. And if the poor bunny's sick, she becomes fluffy ...

first, the *mimimi*: I'm sick - have caught a nasty cold. And it's all my mom's fault. Whole family is dying suffering. Dad and brother need reservations at the nearby cemetery.

This leads me to the next point: True Blood. Living in Germany sometimes means you miss all the good shows or get 'em a year later on TV. An article at Spiegel Online caught my attention. And thanks to the WWW I'm now addicted. Although I tried to stay away from all the vampire-hype. I still love my Ann Rice-books, but haven't read Twilight yet. And don't plan to do so. I'm old nostalgic, I know. One who prefers the old White Wolf-RPG system Vampire - the Masquerade above Requiem.
But True Blood is really cool, like most HBO shows.



Alone the opening credits are damn stylish.

And STYLISH is the next buzzword. That 0_noctifer_0's taste in music is strange exquisite is a fact. And she really is inside me. Otherwise I have no rational explanation for the fact that I really like Emiliana Torrini's Jungle Drum.
Perfect sound while painting the kitchen walls. And I make progress. Nearly done with the whole apartment. Walls look great.

Will get such a funky crystal chandelier for my kitchen. And I am so excited about moving in the new apartment. And so proud of myself.

the reason why I have to steal my dad's digital camera - I love macro shots. Pure beauty. When I finally have some time I really have to get into it.

and I came to the conclusion that all Final Fantasy VII Characters have the same hairdresser - damn, gravity does not apply for Cloud's, Reno's or even Rufus' hairdo.
Would love to own the kind of hairspray they use. Then I wouldn't have to run away from my own reflection in the mirror.
My muse is still a little bit grumpy. I have so much on my mind, that I have no nerve to write anything. Although a nasty plotbunny is eating the dandelion leaves in my brain. I have no clue why I feel the urge to write a oneshot from Scarlett's POV.
But I work again on the Doujinshi-project, Noctifer and me started last year. Since there was no hot sex-scene not much dialogue between Rufus and Tseng in ACC we have to do our own fanservice.

Sweethearts 0_noctifer_0 and sweetgwen are paying me a visit this upcoming weekend. ( *me does happy dance* ) and Nocti posted this image at her blog:



Of course - now that I'm back in the city I was born at all the jokes about the infamous Bielefeld Conspiracy are coming up again.

And maybe I'm really nostalgic and sentimental, but moving back here it's not as bad as I believed it to be. Public traffic still sucks, the buildings are ugly and the Detmolder Strae is a mess.
Home is where the ♥ is. And I need all the ugliness, dirt and architectural disasters around me.

Just dig myself deeper into the secrets of 3dsmax. And I shouldn't model when I'm stressed. The results are ... strange.



First clay render looks nice and smooth. Damn, I've started so many times over that I have no problem at all to speedmodel a stupid cup. And if it was only for an image, I would leave everything as it is.
But take a closer look at the mesh:



It has a touch of modern art - and I have no clue what I did to the poor mesh.

After a nasty flu I try to catch up with the latest.
nekojita, I feel so with you. Hanging around with a 39°C fever for more than five days isn't funny at all.
Serious Work was on hiatus, but I managed to finish some sketches, a doujinshi page w/o lettering and the cover for said doujinshi.
It will be utterly pwp (A Tseng/Rufus PWP) - and 0_noctifer_0 is writing the storyboard.

Since I'm still to sick to waste my Friday Night at a club I try to update my site tonight.
Really need to get into this social networking-crap asap.
Also I have to backup tons of stuff here - poorly neglected this place.
And finish some images ...
I hope Oo

Roulette by ~Ka-bu-ki on deviantART

Finished the first Prompt on my list. Go me.

Why Rufus? Why Tseng's name in Katakana? Why this prompt?
It's inspired by karanguni's awesome fanfiction and my!Reno/Tseng Arc in which Rufus is kind of Tsengs Nemesis and vice versa.
Although I suck at drawing Rufus. Second try on him.

Program: Photoshop CS2
Time: approx. 3 hours

Spent the day digging myself deeper into the secrets of the S2-system which is used by livejournal and insanejournal - and yes, there are some easier ways to go insane.
But I have now a layout at my IJ that I'm pleased with for the moment.
Not quite my Turk-theme but kind of back to the roots - meaning Kabuki-inspired.
I'm using Kabuki or Kabuki-chan now for more then 8 years as nick (even some of my friends are calling me that. And I never lost my love for the comics.
And maybe it's kind of a restart. Not quite turning back a wheel, but remember a few good things ...

Just made several screen caps as bases for Icons - and since I believe the lj content strike will not change a thing, I rather use my free Friday night for fun stuff, that have no ties to reality.

(On a side note - I seriously think five years are a damn long time for a war that was declared as won after a few weeks ... but maybe that's just me and my German point of view)
So back to the meaningless things in life (the Friday night stuff) - Downloads are behind the cut, just click on the images. They vary in quality depending on the avi files I've used.

Teasers:
