old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

Art Post: FF8 Tarot Cards
Inspired by the Utena tarot card project I tried to do an FF8 version, but didn’t get very far. Two finished and two partial. In 2016 going back through old sketchbooks I uncovered a Selphie that was also intended for this project:

Art Post: Ky (Gift)
Unfortunately I have no files or anything telling me what or whose this little character was. It was probably for the MAG or one of those monthly contests — the filename says the character’s name is Ky. Sorry I can’t say who Ky belongs to!

when i anticipated christmas
UGH, been a while since I updated this. Well, December’s here. December is a weird time. I’m always busy as heck, but I’m so excited about Christmas and being off school. This is my last week of school this week, and it’s giving me grey hairs. I have student review again this year, too. Ugggggh. I can’t WAIT til the…

Art Post: Rinoa (FF8)
A pain…!!!! That’s what this picture was!! It took about two weeks, working on and off. The finished version is 16.5×23 at 300dpi, so it’s HUGE. There’s a with-petal-in-the-air version and a no-petal-in-the-air version. I like the no-petal better, so here it is.

when i snapped my whip
So yes, I decided I HAD to go as Quistis for Halloween. She is my current fav game girl! So mom and I set about getting stuff for it. We found the perfect material – it was soft, easy to work with, not too thin, and the PERFECT colour (at least in my mind, I like to think of her…

Art Post: Juri (Utena)
One of my fav Utena characters, Juri! I know her hands look very, very wrong, but I really like this picture because of the hair. I’m gonna do another Juri pic, but with her movie design, when I get a chance.

Hehe!! I’m going as Quistis for Halloween~! 😀 I have the costume made, and I have the whip. All I need now is the belt, and to colour my hair. My boots should be arriving monday! 😀 Yes, I ordered riding boots just for the costume, because I plan on wearing them again! This is going to be cool *yay*…

Art Post: Utena
I did this during Illus class while sitting around (along with the coloured pencil Selphie). It’s kinda creepy >< I did it specifically for the front page… besides that, I don’t have much else to say. In 2016 I went through my old sketchbooks and discovered the original version of this — she was a lot more smiley in the…

Art Post: Selphie (ff8)
Hehehe, I just love Selphie wearing Irvine’s hat for some reason! This pic had a lot of problems, but I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. When I drew it, she was originally sitting on rocks, then I changed to a fence… leaving the hand resting on air >< So I had to move the fence post up,…

when i was lucky
Arrgh bug!! There is a bug flying around my room and he won’t die!! Argh!! Um. There’s really nothing to talk about. Not much has happened lately. Oh, I know. I am one lucky child! I had no way of getting my homework done for my Thursday Illustration class last week, so I was dreading going… then I got to…

when we went to the fair
I went to the Mid-South fair yesterday. Whoever created wrist-band day is a great, great man. They had two new rides this year, the Cliff Hanger and the Inverter. The Cliff Hanger was great, like hang gliding. The Inverter… eh, just like the Kamikazi except minus the cage, too much leg pressure and, of course, no real air time. The…

A Movie Style Touga… didn’t quite finish it but figured I’d post it anyway

Shaved Ice Eel sushi Turkey sandwich w/mayo Roast beef sammich at Huey’s Most fish. There. And…

Art Post: Utena and Anthy
This was for a website design, but I only ended up using Anthy!

when i wanted my fansubs
Well, dang. I can’t think of anything to write about. Oh ok here’s something. I want my fansubs. I ordered Utena second season and the first few episodes of Weiss. I want them. I want them NOW. I’m supposed to be cleaning my room… (again) But I don’t feel like it. I should tho, I got people coming over Saturday.…

Art Post: Lydia (Gift)
Happy Birthday to Elaine! I was originally gonna do this in Painter, but chickened out. Elaine and I have the same birthday! So I drew her character Lydia for her birthday (she drew Utena for me!! XD) I love Elaine’s character designs, and Lydia is my favourite !

Art Post: Quistis (ff8)
Quistis!! XDDD Quistis is so cool. I plan on doing more pics of her. This started out being a pic of Bart Fatima, but then it changed to Quistis because… Quistis is so cool!
