I know I haven't been posting much at all lately.\r\nThere's a good reason for that! *giggle* And \r\nthis is it right here. ^_^\n

Something totally new for me.. well, okay, not totally new, cause we had to do this in highschool art classes, but I haven't done it since then. I'm rather pleased with the results, actually. o.o\r\nIt's a monochrome study of Sakura, done with only two Prismacolour pencils and a peice of plain blue construction paper. I must admit... for an experiment, I wasn't expecting it to turn out this well. ^^;;;\r\nI don't have moments of ego very often, so please forgive me while I run around going WOOHOO! I drew something COOOOL! o.o o^_^o;;;;\r\n*giggle* Enjoy!

Just yesterday I got the terrible news that I was losing a very very dear net friend, someone who I've come to care very deeply for. In losing her this way, I'd suddenly realized that I had another old friend, one whom I'd known iRL for over a decade and who I was slowly losing due to alot of my own selfish foolish stupidity. \r\nYes, I've been quietly mad at her for some time now. \r\nYes, I've been hurt by some of the things that were said and done.\r\nYes, many hurtful things were said and done by the both of us.\r\nI said I'd forgive and forget. \r\nAnd I did. \r\nExcept for one part of everything.\r\nI won't go into details of course, but suffice it to say I shouldn't have let this problem get in the way of a friendship I'd had for over ten years and a friendship that was one of the best I've ever had, even in it's hardest moments.\r\nI'm very sorry for the way I've acted over the past year or so, Monique. I really am. I will no longer let my problem get in the way of -our- friendship, as I have selfishly been.

I finally did a picture for Lizzie-chan! She did a 10,000 hits logo for my Furnation page.. goodness.. I think that was before Christmas. I finally managed to do a picture I was happy with in return! Here's Onyx, in all her badass glory. (Boy, I know alot of badass furs.. o.o) Onyx is © Elizabeth Peterson!

Yay!! I finally got around to designing my very own Battle Costume! I've often wondered why Tomoyo-chan never designed Sakura a Penguin costume seeing how much she likes them. So, I designed one myself! Isn't it kawaii? ^_^ I even made the little matching outfit for Kero-chan! Yay! I love Card Captor Sakura... ^_^

Ahhhh... l'amour... ^_^\r\nAfter spending most of the morning enjoying some of Chuck Jones best shorts (they've been playing alot of his on CN in the early mornings) I was suddenly struck with how poor Pepe, such a sexy man of a skunk, is constantly being fled by lucky ladies he's given his attention to. Of course, this led to this picture! Voila! Now look at that and tell me you wouldn't swoon if he slipped from the shadows to woo you with a rose and his delicious french accent? =D I certainly would have a hard time saying no to that.... o.o Mrrrr!\r\nPepe LePew (c) Warner Brothers\r\nArtwork done by Carrie Riff.

This started out as just a little doodle this afternoon while I was outside with Indiana. I ended up inking it and it looked really cute, so I whipped out my prismas and, tada, here it is! A cute little bunnygirl trying to keep her hat and her skirt in place on a breezy day!\r\n\r\nArtwork (c) Carrie Riff.

This is what I have done so far, and I think it might be where I burn out on this picture. Yes, I know the flames are missing, and yes, I know the background in boring... but do you know how -hard- it is to do this sort of lineless work? I've put in over six hours of work already, and this is all I have done. It's hard to keep up with my three year old and still find time to work on this one, so this may be as finished as it gets. Still, I'm proud of it for my first real attempt. It's come out well. ^_^\r\nHopefully, someday, I'll put in the flames and background. =}\r\nKyle Burakki the Pokemancer (c) Kyle Riff.\r\nArtwork and nifties and endless hours on the Mac (c) Carrie Riff.

This is what happens when you let a Pokemaniac and her husband play hours and hours and hours of Diablo II on end. @.@\r\nIt's Kyle Burakki, the Pokemancer!! XD\r\nI've been sooooooooo utterly and totally addicted! Kyle plays a Necromancer, duh, and I play a Sorceress, named Carrie. It is so utterly awesome... It kicks total ass. \r\nYou all must go and buy it immediately and play till you're brain is as fried as mine! *evilcackle* *ahem*\r\nBut anyways! Here he is and I's proud of it. ^^\r\nI think I'll ink it and colour it... or maybe like.. totally Photoshop it. Ooooooo. ^^;;\r\nKyle Burakki the Pokemancer © Kyle Riff.\r\nArtwork and nifties done by Carrie Riff.\r\nDiablo II is © Blizzard Entertainment!

Okay.. my Tigger Warrior has set off a cascading effect within my brain. They are at war with the Rabbit Clan (Pic of Rabbit Warrior done by Aja Williams if you wanna see!) and the whole mess is being mediated by these simple peaceful folk. The Pooh Peacemakers. Isn't he serene? A lovely portrait of simplistic peaceful harmony with nature. But, like all peacemakers, they're also excellent fighters, well trained in the use of the staff he's holding. Whee.. I thought about this too much.. @.@

Another 'I couldn't help myself!'. After playing lots and lots of Chrono Cross \r\nwith my fiance, I found myself very much liking the adorable character of Poshul.\r\nAnd, after fighting the urge for a little while, I finally gave in and made a \r\nmorphic version of her. Isn't she adorable?!?! I may just do more pictures of her\r\nthis way, so keep looking! Poshul is © Squaresoft.\n

I watched a really really cool movie thingy tonight with my sweetie. It's called Powaqqatsi and it's this.. composition of music and imagery. It's really -quite- stunning.. even if I did draw through most of it. *hehe* I couldn't help it! The first fifteen minutes of the film and suddenly I'm hit with this image! And I -had- to get it on paper before I lost it cause it was so vivid in my mind!\r\nDefinately inking and colouring this one.\r\nPowaqqatsi is .. different. It's very enjoyable though and if you haven't seen it, I recommend finding it and watching it, if you can. It's a little hard to find though, apparently. But it's really very cool! And totally inspiring. Hey, some of the music from this movie was even used in the Truman Show! Cool, neh? ^_^\r\nArtwork done by Carrie Riff.
