(I tried lying down with my eyes closed but that just emphasised how weird it feels)

yuletart has been posting for a while, mine went up today hurrah. Lots of great art this year!

Had an interesting science fictiony dream about time travel and alternate universes last night. Made me want to write a complex, internally consistent time travel story but those are so hard to get right.

So close to the end of Glitch :( :( Have been scattering my hoarded possessions in mildly artistic ways. The fact that I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE HOARDING MONEY is a definite sign of the end of days.

Have been playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. It's lots of fun, including spotting which ideas Bioware reused in Dragon Age and Mass Effect. I was worried I'd find the objective Dark Side/Light Side morality annoying, but so far all my light side points have been from stuff like protecting poor aliens from human bigots, healing the sick, or defending women from sexual harassment with my sexy jedi teammate (sadly I'm pretty sure this is before Bioware got into making love interests bi :( ) And while I've never thought of myself as that much of a Star Wars fan I get a pretty big kick from talking to wookies and droids and stuff (I KILLED A RANKOR AW YISS) The fighting is thinly veiled turn based, which takes out all my time based combat anxiety, especially on easy mode. Except for the TWO compulsory timing based minigames I've encountered already :/ (One I eventually defeated, the second still has me stumped)

EDIT: Oh and unlike other Bioware games you get to choose your character's surname. So my current PC is Visha Verhier, female light side scout :D

yuletart reveals are up! And as probably doesn't surprise anyone who was paying attention, this was my picture:


Avatar: Your turn, uncle on deviantART, on Tumblr.

And now, some Full Metal Alchemist/Homestuck crossover fanart:

Huzzah! I have finished a reasonably good first draft of my yuletart art which will definitely do if I don't get inspired to make it any better (if I work on things when I'm not inspired they get crap) AND I have written out all the recs for my spot next month reccing Dragon Age at fanart_recs.

You should all check fanart_recs out by the way, they've been going for a month or so and have a collection of cool fanart for a bunch of different fandoms. It's been a consistent source of happiness in my reading page.

yuletart reveals are up, here's what I made for unithien_rerith:

A tale of two Talias

Summary: Talia faces herself, pre and post the activation of the sleeper personality in in "Divided Loyalties". The background is a kaleidoscope similar to that used by the agent Control (who was the sleeper) consisting of stylised images of Bester, Ivanova, Talia, and the Babylon 5 and Psi Corps logos.

My tablet was dying while I made this and died before I could do all the little fixes I wanted. Still, I think it came out pretty well. The background was fun, I made a little kaleidoscope Photoshop macro so I could mess about with the placement and made very liberal use of the "find neon edges" filter :)

Of course now I feel like I should reply to all the very nice feedback I got RIGHT AWAY.
