Happy Chinese New Year!

(Also happy Valentines day if you celebrate it. But CNY is cooler imo)

Anyone who's been to a Swancon: Y'all should do Tommmmo's Scifi movies quiz so he can run his panel.

Once you vote, have a look at the list I compiled of fannish movies from the last decade that when I think about them I get a heartwarming feeling of "Yes, that was a really awesome movie" (I couldn't think of any other measure I could apply consistently)

Fanart: Revolutionary Girl Utena plus some meta

A while ago I had some thinky thoughts about fanart and posted them to a general meta community since I wasn't sure how interesting it would be to non-fanartists (eg most of you): Difference in styles between what you like and what you draw fanart for.

Anyway, in the process of writing it it occurred that I might get something out of drawing some Revolutionary Girl Utena fanart in a different style, so I converted some official Utena art into a style I'm more comfortable with while still keeping the aspects of the picture I like.


Utena and Anthy: Traced by ~sqbr on deviantART

I'm mostly pretty happy with it (being an experiment I didn't put that much effort into it so there's definitely things I'm not 100% happy with), and it was definitely instructive looking at each part of the picture and asking myself "Do I want to keep this like this? If not what about it bugs me and how am I going to change it?". Of course if you prefer the original style to mine it probably looks like a horrible pointless travesty :D

Thinking of shifting to Dreamwidth

So LJ has finally crossed the line for me by not only having pop up ads which infect people's computers with a virus but infecting one of my friends in particular.

I have thus decided I will at some point swap over to cross-posting the stuff that currently goes in alias_sqbr from alias_sqbr (yes, keeping lj comments enabled).

But before I can do that I need to know: is there any easy to switch between two dreamwidth accounts? Preferably one that works in Safari.

*Tests out the crossposting footnote thing, which I only just figured out*
