blind_go fanart round

[lucathia]

...I signed up after all. XD;; All of you poor people have to suffer from my mediocre art. I haven't missed signing up for any rounds yet, though I didn't submit my fic for the last round. It's still unfinished. >_> Only darkicedragon has read the intro...I don't think it's worth continuing.

ANYWAY, blind_go is having a fanart round this time! The deadline to sign up is January 15. Do join in if you draw Hikago fanart. *___*

All past rounds of blind_go have been "guess-the-writer" challenge rounds where writers submit fics anonymously and readers try to guess the writer behind the fic through style and whatever else they base their guesses on. We've had rounds for short fic, long fic, AU and crossovers, collabs...all quite exciting! This time it's even more different. It's "guess-the-artist"! Same concept, just with fanart instead of fic. :D

You can find out more and sign up here. *pokes f-list*

Oh yeah. I have a new layout. Sort of. I was logged into another LJ account and never closed to window before logging into this account (I was testing if I liked some other layout on the other account) and somehow I accidentally saved that layout I was testing over my previous one of THIS account. Don't really know how it happened, but oh well. I was getting tired of my previous layout anyway. D: I just stuck a random header for this layout from refuted. Will probably change it later when I find something else I like better.

Waaaaa! ;___; I'd like to see what happens next in the HnG/YYH/etc. I thought it was interesting.

XD It's for the fifteenth. I has an exam on that day. D: When the deadline for the actual posting in/handing in/submiting for? I might join, but I'll be teh suck. XD;; I like colouring in at the moment.

[lucathia]

One vote of confidence then. XDD I read over what I had...it's...okay I guess. I might get back to it if I'm able to finish some of my other WIPs. They're getting to be too many. .___.

You just have to sign up by January 15th. The deadline for submitting your artwork is February 13th. :3 You can do it!! :DD

Oh maan, I'm really excited about this because I'm actually participating in a blind_go event and this is kind of really cool hahaha. Good luck to all of us, and I'm sososo glad there are more people participating!

This layout is nice and simple, so it's not bad :). Nice change once in a while ♥

[lucathia]

Hehe, I think it's awesome you're participating too! I never thought there'd be a fanart round. This makes for an interesting change. ♥ I have never participated in anything to do with drawing...I hope I don't suck too badly. ^^;;

Yup, something simple's not so bad I guess. Easier on the eyes I hope!

I'm so torn on that. I WANT to sign up, but I'm afraid I won't have time to actually do anything for it >.>

[lucathia]

Awww, well you should sign up so if you do turn out to have enough time, you can turn something in! If you end up not being able to submit anything, it'll be all right too. Better to have the option...

I'll have to think about it, see if theres a fic that I get an idea for

[bunnychan.livejournal.com]

Actually, can you point me in the direction of a hand-full of really good ones?

[lucathia]

I particularly liked Better Days and A Seasons of Black Chrysanthemums: Winter among a lot of other fics. I'll have to refrain from mentioning the ones I'm illustrating. X3;

Thanks for the links. Sadly, I went to my first classes today and I'm honestly not going to have much time for anything personal and I have some stuff that has to come first, so I have to opt out this time (DAMMIT)

[lucathia]

Aww, I'd have liked to see what you'd have come up with. But school and RL comes first of course. I hope classes are going well for you!

[bunnychan.livejournal.com]

I really want to do it, but I have to be realistic >.>

OMG LIES! XD They're so NOT mediocre! It's cute and wonderful and... I don't know how to explain it but it feels very... innocent? *doesn't know why, Helen's brain is weird!*

I wish you good luck!

[lucathia]

Innocent? :O Never thought of it that way! You have a way with words. XD I'd say it's...simplistic and sketchy. When I can't get something to look right, I just keep drawing over that place and the lines get so thick and messy. >_>

Thanks~ I drew something yesterday, but I think I'll have to chuck that one out. X3; Will keep at it!

YOUR ICON IS SO CUTE! ^______^

XD Really? *hides* I just don't know how to express myself correctly sometimes. @_@;;

And I know what you mean! Which forces me to ink it. Which ultimately makes it worse. OTL

Aw, I bet it was wonderful! *o*
