The Kiss of a Snake

Is now being posted weekly to y!gallery and while I'd love to have people flocking to it and worshipping me... the fact that I have a couple of regular readers is good enough for me ^^

As far as the writing process goes I am now at Chapter 54, which is mid-game for me. Of course, this being more than a little AU when it comes to the game and beyond its not being easy to write. Hence watching a walkthrough on YouTube - can't hurt to stare at the official events and then pervert them, as I always do ;)

Oh and current word count? 150,240... with 5 years of timeline still to be written ^^;




Why I Rarely Comment, But Often Fave

I know, its the cardinal sin here on dA - clicking that "Add to Favourites" button but not leaving a message to say why. So may I start with a massive sorry for doing it :XD:

The reason is that I rarely have more to say than *drools* or something equally as un-constructive. I promise, I'm working on this. But as it stands I'd rather say nothing than type out something that when I read over it after sending I do this:

:iconfacepalmplz:

But as I said, working on it, honest!




Tablet Shopping

No, I'm not becoming a junkie - I'm in the market for a graphics tablet. I'm not looking for anything too fancy, just something I can sketch with. I have no problem doing art with a mouse but it just gets tedious after a while, especially when my mouse doesn't want to play nice, and all I want to do is a rough sketch to clean up later. With a mouse I get a rough sketch I look at later and wonder what the heck it was.

So far the Wacom Bamboo Fun is looking like my best bet, and I'm even willing to overlook the fact that in Europe you can only get it in white, the graphics software is an older version and no darned mouse or replacement nibs. Just. Well, ok, I'm still pissed about it but I'll get over it eventually, right?

So, tablet users! Come give me thy plentiful advice, but bear in mind I only really want it as a hobby thing, so breaking the bank on something that is state-of-the-art and does everything but cook me dinner isn't really what I'm looking for :D




To Conclude

  • I think I'm getting a chest infection so I'm a sorry SOB right now *chuckles* Though with plenty of fluids and enough cough medicine to OD on hopefully I won't need to get myself to a doctor!

  • Grocery shopping is mandatory, not optional.

  • Gimme Advent Children Complete now please ^^ More blood, more dirt, more watching Tifa getting her ass kicked. Oh, and more TURKS! Aaaand more Tseng. Only a little more from what I've seen, but even a little is better than a cumulative 5 seconds.

  • NaNo was a COMPLETE failure. However I have the opening chapter mostly written and I do like the story. Life just got in the way this year.

  • Reno in stilettos is still amusing >3

  • ~Tseng-Club has provided me with more droolable Tseng. I is a happy!

  • I gave in and bought a Bamboo Fun. Seems to be the most recommended of the Bamboo range. It comes tomorrow ^^

  • Bamboo Fun = ShinRa doing the Monster Mash >3 Watch this space XD

    A Few Notes


    I thought I ought to officially warn everyone that I am a lazy SOB when it comes to dA ^^; If I have faved a piece of your work but not said anything its pretty much because saying something along the lines of "Oooh pretty" makes me do this:

    :iconfacepalmplz:

    Also, 9 times out of 10 I'm too distracted to write something constructive that makes it sound like I've been oggling your picture as much as I have!

    Main cause for complete lack of attention: KoaS. Seriously, its taken me two years but I am so into writing this fanfic that it isn't funny. I think about it all the time, hell I'm even dreaming about it lately, which is somewhere between hella amusing and pretty damn disturbing. I mean for the God's sakes my snake tattoo was completely influenced by my own writing. I'm not sure if that is as depressing as I think it is...

    In my own defence I have always wanted a snake tattoo, preferably a cobra. It just turns out that white with red eyes appeals to me more than making it green, brown or something normal and snakey.

    Anywho, if you're interested in keeping up with my KoaS ramblings I make a post on my LJ every few days to update my word count. You can find it here! I'll warn you that there is much random rambling in
    between, yuss.

    2 days until NaNo starts! I'm nervous and excited all in one go. Hopefully I'll be able to turn out as much as I have been these last few weeks when the wordcount becomes important, and not just a "holy crap look how much I've written".

    One of the Gang


    I finally got my new tattoo yesterday ^^ It is a white cobra with red eyes... and I LOVE it. Lee did an amazing job and I can't wait for the redness that's still in the shading to go down so I can take a picture to show it off.

    It's just above my left ankle (on the outside) and while the experience was a little uncomfortable at the start I quickly relaxed into it and enjoyed watching him do it. Mind you the shading looked scarily dark when he was doing it, and even though I knew it was just because of the blood and excess ink I did have a mild panic. But of course after washing it and leaving it for a night its looking a lot like how I wanted it.


    ... Of course, anyone who knows me and my obsessions know exactly what a white cobra with red eyes symbolises... and yes, I really am that kind of a person to get a tattoo for that reason ;) Of course it helps that I've always wanted to get a snake tattoo =P

    Dear *princess88alasse:

    I don't really know how to tell you this, but your nostrils are insulting. I think I realized it when I changed tennis shoes at the mental hospital and I saw you sit on my avocado plant. I'm sure you're scarred enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning your memories from the military service to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I never had a passionate interest for mice.

    Greetings to your frog Leonard,
    Sitara Lukyan

    Fanfic Title Chosen!


    The majority of votes went to "The Kiss of a Snake" and I must admit I like the title :D

    So, the Reno (auto)biography fanfic is now officially titled The Kiss of a Snake.

    The digital painting trail I submitted today is work towards the cover art. A lot different from what I planned, and heck I may change the design a few million times, but it's progress ^^ I now know how to attempt the kind of look I want on paint.NET

    A lot of blur effects, yuss. I could just download the smudge tool plug in but that would just be so simple :XD:

    So yuss, let me know what you think of the painting, I need a lot of practice, and some tips or areas you think need improving would be a lot of help :)
