Description Vidu, from TG ~
This week's update is page 99: [link]
But this image is actually from page 85: [link]

There's been a giant learning curve throughout all of chapter 3. T_T Painting the Underworld before there was sun has been really difficult to sort out. The hardest parts are yet coming. I still don't even know what I'm doing. x__x

This pic of younger Vidu though is one of my favorites. He looks best here.

I hope it might be more obvious when all of chapter 3 is read together, but from the beginning to the end of chapter 3, the light around Vidu is getting gradually brighter.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU MUST DO FOR ME!??! Humor me by voting for TG on TWC and see my sketch of batmanxcatwoman. baw~

I really thought I saw this picture earlier, and then I realize I got a picture of it at Otakon. :'DD It's probably my favorite Vidu pic. The bemused vulnerability and halo really hits my heart where it counts.

I just love the composition and colors. Sedna is still my favorite... probably because I already had black & white plushie fabric lying around *has evil plans if school allows*

PLUSHY?! I WANT PLUSHY! Now if you come without a plushy to Fanime, I will be sad. oAo A sedna plushy would be just wonderful ~ a girl has given me a blue skittlez pug plushy at Dragoncon this year. Sedna shall go with Skittlez!

Rrrg. Did you get a table for Fanime? Are you still going? I'm on the wait list at #30, so it's looking dismal, unless a lot of people bail.

blix-it In reply to Tenebrian [2012-01-28 22:19:38 +0000 UTC]

I bet on the wait list moving. Since they aren't requiring a tax ID, payment, or badge, just think of all the people who have registered half heartedly. XD Some people are bound to drop out. How many tables are there total?

What were you planning on selling? 4DE books?

Yes, I registered and amazingly I think I registered quick enough not to be on the wait list. O_O It will be my first year at Fanime ever. c:

Tenebrian In reply to blix-it [2012-01-29 00:50:32 +0000 UTC]

Lol. The last time I went it's a pretty good Con. Though I think DragonCon is significantly larger...

Actually, I was registering a table for 4DE. So yea, 4DE will be there. Technically, my name is on the table too. If I sell anything it will be the handful of anime fan art necklaces & bracelets I made. It really depends on if they need the room for another artist, but I may be floating around as a helper or a fan.

As for 4DE I don't have the authority to give an official list. The maybes are: Der-Shing, Wenqing (yuumei), Mimi (Kurot), and Sarah (Phoenix Requiem). However, there are more artists that may be invited for 4DE if they have signed up already.

blix-it In reply to Tenebrian [2012-01-30 03:53:30 +0000 UTC]

So I guess other people were also registering tables for 4DE? Because if you're on the wait list, but you're talking like they're definitely going ... I do hope those people are able to come. 8D Especially Der-Shing, I did meet her once and I liked her so much. The others, I have never met, and will be too star struck to meet even if they were present.

I would love for you to be my helper too, if you have spare time separate from 4DE. >< *Cinnamoron and I will be stuck at our tables without food. 8< *puppy eyes*

*RadiusZero Is meant to come with us, but she is #49 on the wait list. 8(((( Because it was my job to sign her up while she was at work, and I didn't know I'd have to verify her email and all that. x___x *long minutes spent making phone calls*

4DE has a table! W00t! If we are #30 on the list has a small chance of getting one too.

I replied to your before I talked with the publisher about what was happening. Bad Heather - I made an assumption that there were others because there were last year. I'm actually not sure what's happening now. I just know that if Eric feels like 4DE artist NEED to be at Fanime, they will somehow BE at Fanime. Lol.

Der-shing is a maybe because of her professional commitments keep her from being their the whole convention and because of these new art alley rules that discourage artists like her from appearing for only a day or two.

If I'm around, I would gladly table sit, run errands and keep you entertained with my awkward social skills and foul language (I cuss a lot around people I know). My own life is filled with chaos, so I'm PLANNING on going barring any family or school emergencies.

I'll let you know if I can get a plushy done in time for the convention. My only problem is that I've only done minor sewing stuff. I've never made a plushy before. So.... I must practice first... Glad to hear you already have a Skittlez. XD

I love the tones too. It was painted mostly with coffee, which makes really smooth plains of color with hard edges.

blix-it In reply to Tenebrian [2011-10-02 05:19:56 +0000 UTC]

Yes... coffee is brilliant for painting with. :3 Something about it makes it retain water for longer than normal paint, so it makes really large plains of perfectly flat color that dry with hard outlines. AS SEEN IN THIS PAINTING, EVEN ~~~

Tenebrian In reply to blix-it [2011-10-02 05:52:45 +0000 UTC]

I just thought the idea is fantastic!

Blehz at self. If I kept practicing watercolor instead of giving up years ago I would have remembered why coffee wouldn't leave as hard of an edge.

I bet I can find an answer if you really get curious.

Hey, been meaning to note you. If you're still looking for book covers, now would be the time to ask me about it. oAo I have mild amounts of free time between now and February.

juniorel In reply to blix-it [2011-10-01 21:57:56 +0000 UTC]

I am, indeed! I need a cover for the sequel to the book I just published, and I was actually hoping you would be the one to create it. I've been waiting to ask you about it because I am terrible with cover concepts and haven't been able to think of anything. I'll mull it over in the next few days and send you a note, if that's okay.

blix-it In reply to juniorel [2011-10-02 03:34:38 +0000 UTC]

Hm. Well. [link] This is your current cover, yes? You'd described a completely different idea to me for this cover, so why not use your previous idea for book 2? Most book covers I see for popular novels aren't necessarily indicative of the content contained, but rather just iconic and dramatic portrayals of the main cast.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

juniorel In reply to blix-it [2011-10-02 04:20:54 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that's my cover. I went a different direction with the artist because I felt he gave a beautiful metallic-looking shine to his work. In your art, I absolutely adore the stylized people and animals, which is why the idea was different when I discussed it with you. The second book has a new character that plays a central role. I will note you about him. In fact, one of your previous paintings made me think you could do something awesome with this character. He is a child who uses spiderweb strings to control the dead.

I don't know, but he's wonderful regardless. O: But I do know that I want to pet his hair, and brush his hair, and braid it, and pet it more....
Basically, I'd be entranced by his hair for hours on end, completely amused.
