Screencaps from the Computer Spying meme:


1. disutansu asked for my desktop wallpaper:



2. lemniciate asked for my art folder, of either mine or others' art:





3. postingwhore asked for my porn folder, but as I have no such thing (for srs!), here's my ebooks folder:



4. scorpiod1 asked for iTunes, but as I don't use iTunes to sort my music, here's my music folder:

I just spent forever deleting over a hundred submissions from my old Y!Gallery and DeviantArt accounts. I don't see why they don't simply allow users to delete accounts and contents entirely, the way LJ does. :| It was interesting, looking at my drawings from six, seven years ago. Some of it was atrocious, but some weren't half bad, haha. Also, oh man, so much nostalgia for my Harry Potter days.

After watching Iron Man 2 in the theatre yesterday, I watched Iron Man on my computer over dinner. I must say, I prefer the sequel over the original. Pepper was a bit too damsel-in-distress, but Natasha was awesomely cool, and I'm finding myself shipping Tony/Jarvis, just a teeny bit.

Next week is going to be spent grading midterms. I hope I don't run into this problem, heh.

EEEEEP! Excuse me, I just got all excited by the Bruno and Boots related items in your art folder. Especially brunohasaplan.jpg. :D?

ALSO your wallpaper makes my heart all achey. BOYS, AAARGH.

Hee♥! Idk why, but I've only drawn them once and it was over three years ago (poor quality is poor because I was scannerless at the time ^^;;).

Stargazing together! Ugh, how much schoompier can they get a;lksdfjd♥♥ I really wanted a wallpaper of that scene and I haven't been able to find any (WHY D:) so I had to resort to making my own.

Aw, those drawings are adorable! Hee, their happy little faces. ♥

Hmmm. Do you think it's more challenging (or abstract or liberating or whatever) to draw for book fandoms than for visual-based fandoms?

[fishpatrol]

Thank you! ♥

That's an interesting question. The only other book fandom I'd drawn for was Harry Potter (oh, wait, no -- I think I have sketches for characters from David Eddings's series, possibly?) and I've probably drawn more HP fanart than all my other fandoms combined. In some ways, I find drawing for book fandoms and for live-actor fandoms (anything that includes real people) similar in that I have flexibility in the way I want to depict the characters, as long as I maintain certain distinctive features (e.g. Harry's glasses, Dean's spiky hair). Drawing for anime/manga fandoms was more restrictive, but also easier in many respects, because there's already this pre-existing template for what the character should look like when drawn. With real people, since I shy away from realism for the most part, I get to choose how I want them to look in 2-D. [/rambling]

Oh no, thank you for rambling! It's totally interesting to someone who is not a visual artist. :D

I have flexibility in the way I want to depict the characters I think that's what I was inarticulately trying to ask! I think it's really cool that you have this approach to live-action characters, too.
