69!

[shadesong]

I'm up to 69 friends - hi, mister_wolf! And, as promised, the debut of the sexy Capri icon - what do you guys think?

She's cute. I think Julia is prettier though.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

But Capri's sexier. :)

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Waaal, I dunno. Julia doesn't look like she knows it, which makes her sexier, whereas Capri looks like she does know, which kinda takes away from it a little bit. So I'd say they're really about even. Y'know?

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Perfect logic!!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Hm. Yeah, Julia's very unaware of her beauty. I'll have to do a compare/contrast post...

[dslartoo.livejournal.com]

Looks good. Nice work, mousegrrl. :)

cheers,
Phil

thankyew, thankyouverramush... =)

[mister-wolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you, ma'am.

Also, yummy icon. =:)

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

thankyew, sir! =)

[ooh, i checked out your journal -- you're a cartoonist? rock! i'm but a Rank Amateur tryin'ta maybe hopefully go pro... d'you have any of your stuff online? i'd love to check it out!]

[mister-wolf.livejournal.com]

Hehe... I'm kind'a a rank amateur, too. I draw a lot, but I can count my lifetime earnings from art in the (very)low three digits, and most of that has come from comissions for friends.

Anyhow, I've not yet figured out what to do with my web page, but I've posted some things on LJ. Here are three nice photosho paintings I've done. Hope you like them.

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

hee! that's about my lifetime earnings from art, too. =)though mine has come almost totally from art shows at cons [Dragoncon being the biggie]. the stuff i do for friends is usually free, on account of i feel funny taking money from my friends. =)

took a look at your paintings -- very nice!! i love the colour pallet you use, very subtle. i'm still trying to get the hang of colour...

[mister-wolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you. One trick that I picked up recently is to use little bits of complementary colors in the shadows, to make things look more vibrant.

Siminarly, I openly envy your inking style. It's very subtle. I've done countless pages of black and white comics, and my inking still looks rough and crude. What are you using? Dip pen? Technical pen? If you tell me you're using a brush, I'm going to jump off a bridge. =:)

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Personally, I think this one is the sexiest of them all. ;)

*fierce blush*

Re: blushing

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Ooooh pretty! Do that again! See, I think the one thing I'm going to miss the most in not being able to come to DragonCon this year is playing with that hair. *sigh* Any chance of you visiting Dallas in the near future?

Re: blushing

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Nope, we're broke. :( You could come here...?

Re: blushing

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Ah, but see, that's why we're not gonna make it to DragonCon. :( That and I don't think we can trust my car all the way to Atlanta, as it's leaking coolant. Many tiny leaks = too much coolant lost, but too many to fix.

As soon as we get our feet back under us, financially, we're hoping to trade this bloody thing in for a truck. :)

Re: blushing

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yeek. :( Well, whenever you can, you're welcome to come out here!

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

see? there ya go. you still got The Sexy [(tm)OmarG]... =)

[alfheimr.livejournal.com]

I agree! I like the new icon though - the touch of the finger to the mouth is cute. You definitely don't use this icon enough though.+

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I'm *shy*.

You have no idea what it took to get me to do an actual photo icon...

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

But shy is *gorgeous*, hon. I think I fell in love with Chris on our first date, when his "silver tongue" proceeded to fail him thoroughly. I saw through all his bullshit, it flabbergasted him, and he went shy and sweet on me. It was absolutely *adorable*.

Re:

[alfheimr.livejournal.com]

Uhm... I'm... I... I'm shy... *LAUGH* okay I can't even say it. I'm only shy when confronted witha beautiful man who I'm interested in - THEN I can't even look at him. Otherwise I'm completely not shy. But still we're all glad you DID put up an actual photo icon.

[yendi]

Alas, I have every idea.

In a nutshell: Getting shadesong to pose for a photograph is like waking her up in the morning. Ten times in a row. Per photo.

[melintur.livejournal.com]

Cute, but the "huge flowing hair" thing is a personal turn off for me, (ech hair is gross! ;) )...

:D

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Blasphemer!
:::::::: Shocked Glare ::::::::

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

So? Capri pretty?

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Pretty, yeah, although she looks like a bitch to me. *G* It was just the "hair is gross" statement that I couldn't overlook. *shudder*

[dslartoo.livejournal.com]

I heard that. "Hair is gross"? Only for those who are not right in the head. Huge tumbling masses of curls (or flowing waves of straight hair) are delectable. :)

cheers,
Phil

[melintur.livejournal.com]

Lots'o'hair makes me gag.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to think if we have any short-haired girls in this comic. Katrianna! Kat has a chin-length Louise Brooks bob. She'll eventually grow it out to almost-shoulder-length, but that's as long as it ever gets. Mouse posted the sketches of Shawn in shayara - he's a boy, but he'll have short hair.

[melintur.livejournal.com]

boys can have huge flowing hair, that's cute.

I think I'm just tired of the typical "sexy huge flowy hair" image of feminine sexuality that gets shoved down my throat by mainstream society.

But then again, Maybe I am just a freak. Yeah. That's most likely it.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Heh. I guess it's partially that I'm hideously ugly when my hair is short. And I don't have any female short-haired friends, really, except Edie (who has a bob similar to Kat's, but shorter), unless I'm forgetting someone. So it's more that I don't *see* anyone on a regular basis that has short hair, maybe...

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I need to have Mouse scan her sketches of her - she's definitely not a bitch! She's a real sweetheart, one of my nicest characters. And bi. :)

[melintur.livejournal.com]

but she has that "Ooh! did I do that?" seduction that most find attractive (and a good capture of it, mousie I can see how others find it sexy), but it makes me colder than a an eskimo's freezer.

I *so* hate the mock innocent "female" thing ( i.e. 7 year itch, Marylin Monroe). I don't like my women to pretend to be inferior or innocent or simple, it is such a turn off. Ugh. I don't find it sexy, I find it annoying.

(of course this is just me :) ) I like em wise and uninhibited, powerful and confident.

-=C

But my men on the other had, I do like dumb (as well as smart) -- strange?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she definitely has the "did I do that?" thing, but her innocence is in a different vein - from age 11 to almost-18, she was raised in that tower alone with the boys, never experiencing anything *outside*. So she *is* a little innocent in terms of actual relationships.

[sambear.livejournal.com]

Very sexy - I like it!

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

thank you!! =)
