Description
this is swallow's profile for the new writing game, entropy . we'll accept auditions, but we're not actively recruiting. i was divided between putting this in collage and putting this in visual poetry-- but collage won out.materials: xerox prints, watercolour, markers, journal paper, sharpies, various stickers, rubber cement, elmer's glue, scrapbook paper, border tape, gelly roller pens, quills.
the model is SHIZUMI from KAGEROU.
My favourite page is the fourth one, because of the writing on the knuckles. My least favourite is the 7th because the gel pen wasn't cooperating. 8D;;
There's a couple good lines that came out of this. ;D anyways, collage and words. enjoy or something.

I am so tired of Asian pretty boys on paper that I could spit, but damn did these words speak to me. I like how you structed them out as well. Itsn't it something when a stranger nearly writes your eulogy?

Aw, you're so cool. I often adore your work and the elements you share (like art shows and such) -- your writing is as strong as your visions, they are also as dark as they are beautiful. Yes, I've fought an illness for half my life, I've embraced/fought many emotions too, like those mentioned. It touches me deeply.
It makes it easier to "swallow" that he's been a sort of permanent, fictional model.
Just a personal boredom, but I still listen to the music sometimes and X Japan forever. So there. "faggotry"

i think a lot of the people who are considered creative types suffer through their own sorts of diseases-- if it's not one thing, it's another, you know?
i'm glad it touched you. >w<
Other avatars Swallow has used have been hilarious. But this is where he relates most, so I'm done trying to turn him into a white boy. sdfkjfgjkf xDD

I completely and totally worship the ground you walk on! Your work is something one can only dream of contemplating on how you completed such exquisite artwork and masterpieces throughout my being here! You are quite the gifted artist and one such lowly and unworthy such as I can not even begin to do something as simple as touching the mouse to even click the: Add To Favorites button! Wow.. i really have written quite a bit haven't I? May you carry on your work as the brilliant and creative artist that you truly and sincerely are! My words can not even begin to describe your collage making techniques! Your collage shall forever remain in my favorites for all of eternity! i just hope and dream that someday, I will be as good an artist as you!
Sincerely Yours,
--*Alexandra*--

smiththesquare [2008-05-14 01:58:45 +0000 UTC]
very trippy-awesome.
your role-playing scenario kinda reminds me of Brave New World by Huxley, except for the virus. very, very cool idea. i might have to apply...
anyways, this deserves a fave because of your watercolor use.

But whatever happened to the "Trois" game you had goin'?

retromortis In reply to sacredSmile [2008-05-14 05:19:29 +0000 UTC]
yeah, i really REALLY liked trois too. ]: me and faith may be doing something comic related with the concept, though. it died because the main conflict got resolved WAY early, and my ringleader dude wasn't enough of a douche to keep it rolling. dsfkjsdf xDD
Asile, however, IS in entropy. Which is kind of hilarious. xDD

After looking at the main website for Entropy I so saw that and was thrilled. And it's cool too because it just seems to fit right in with Entropy's story.
Main conflict? Was that the fire in Asile?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
retromortis In reply to sacredSmile [2008-05-14 17:03:14 +0000 UTC]
Nope~ the main conflict in trois was the thing with Ciro and Ban-- After they had their kid, Ban wouldn't let Ciro return to the trapeze. After two years, she threatened to take the kid and go. there was a fight and Ban shot her brother which split the circus. That was the main thing in Trois-- and then Ciro and Ban got friendly again and it was like "... oh god, how do we keep having two circuses now?" sdfjgsdf xDDD The Asile fire was our way of trying to get people to play-- because if something is happening imminently, everyone comes back in. and they did-- for the fire. then it died again. xDD
in this, i don't think the conflict will be resolved so quickly, so it's all good. ;D and now Ban is white, which is the most hilarious thing in the universe.

sacredSmile In reply to retromortis [2008-05-15 01:15:13 +0000 UTC]
Ah yes, I remember the Ciro/Ban love plot. I actually took up a French class so I could mildly understand those little phrases. Silly, yes? I was really captivated by the whole idea of Trois and roleplay writting and all that because of you and your friends/writers.
Therefore I'll keep my eyes on Entropy. ;]
Oh and white Ban? He totally looks like a "playa", that's what's hilarious about it.

he's a total pimp. ;D a lot of my characters reprise through my RPs-- they just turn into different things. None of them are probably recognizable here, though. ;D

It's a beautiful collage! I can't pick a page as a favorite though... and that's in large part because the whole thing reminds me of the stuff that got us talking in the first place.
Ah.. Nostalgia. it is so weird.
