The theme song for this round is Help, I'm Alive by Metric.
_{I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer}

I used a stock texture: [link] and a splatter brush by ~AnnFrost-stock. The rest is all by me. I went for a grittier old-photo look to complete the theme of "bloodbath," and I think the splatters really help. (Sorry, does that sound morbid? I meant it from a purely artistic perspective. )

Well This Is Awkward

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:01:23 PDT

I’ve been on a bit of a Laurina kick for a while now. I even planned and wrote out a whole bunch of panels for a comic I wanted to do with her. It was about Laurina’s struggle with coming to terms with her actions, the possible reasons why she was justified, internal moral debates, existential philosophy and a bit of vore thrown in for good measure. But I’m lazy and have been in a bit of a funk lately so I decided to do something less brooding and melancholy and more frivolous and fun.

So here we have a willing prey scenario and a stupid little story to go along with the picture. I’m curious to know how Laurina would respond to something like this, but please note that Laurina belongs to so her personality here may be bastardized or completely out of character.

If vore ain’t yo thang, no worries there’s a big fat ‘X’ in the top right corner of your browser that will make the bad stuff go away if you click it.
------------------
Our intrepid belly spelunker (let’s call him Chester) was one of those odd balls that had vore fantasies for as long as he could remember. He also happened to frequent the same library that our ravenous little librarian mouse-girl works, where he spent hours scouring books and articles about giant predators.

One day while perusing a desolate section of the library filled with towering shelves and dusty old tomes Chester happened to spy Laurina scolding a group of teenage boys through a gap in the stacks. From what Chester could gather the boys had been playing a makeshift game of baseball in the corridor using the old books as bases, and a particularly solid looking tome to swat at a paper ball. Their ball appeared to be made from pages from an out-of -print encyclopedia scrunched together. The boys laughed at Laurina’s threats and proceeded to bat their paper projectiles at her while cat-calling cruel names that poked fun at her full figured physique.

Laurina’s face turned lavender with rage. “That’s it!” she hissed, “I won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour in my library!” Jamming her hands roughly into her purse she pulled out what appeared to Chester to be a small digital camera. The boys began to mock her, pulling grotesque faces and mooning her while taunting; “the little fatty wants a picture of us! Go on fatty, how’s this?” Laurina’s face, to Chester’s surprise no longer looked angry. Instead her eyes gleamed manically, almost hungrily.

There was a flash, in an instant the boys were transformed into miniaturized versions of themselves no bigger than Chester’s little finger. The miniature boys stared at one another in disbelief for several seconds before they were jolted back into awareness by the thundering foot step of the now gargantuan Laurina. She easily scooped up three of them and tossed them into a small wooden box which she hastily stuffed into the bottom of her purse along with the camera like device she used moments earlier. She pinned the last of the boys whom she recognized as the ring leader of the group as he tried to escape under the gap of one of the bookshelves with her index finger.

“That reminds me,” Laurina mused to herself with a wicked grin, “I haven’t had lunch yet.” Before her prey could scream anything coherent she proceeded to fling him into her wet, dripping mouth. She teased him with her tongue, pressing him roughly against the roof of her mouth and soft palate, rolling him from cheek to cheek like a grape before finally swallowing him with a deep, guttural ‘gulp!’
“One less group of vandals to worry about,” said Laurina as she patted her belly before letting out a tiny suppressed belch. She pick up the books and torn pages the boys had used as baseball gear and made her way back to the front desk to repair them.

Chester stood in stunned silence, not even daring to breathe until Laurina had disappeared from view. When he finally regained control of his legs it was time for the library to close. He read a number of witness accounts of predators snatching up hapless victims in the 7th District, he had even fantasized about it, but to see the harmless, mousey librarian snatch up those boys and swallow one without even batting an eye left him speechless. He wandered absent mindedly to the front of the library still processing the scene like a film editor scrutinizing each frame to be certain it wasn’t just his imagination playing tricks on him. He was only snapped from his reverie by the piercing trill of the library’s alarm.

“Hey you!” Came an irritated shout from behind him, “You need to check that out if you’re taking it with you.” Turning around slowly Chester found himself face to face with Laurina.
“Huh?!” he said with a start as he drew his arms up defensively over his face.
“That.” Said Laurina pointing to his right hand. Chester found to his surprise that he was still clutching a book he had been skimming through earlier before watching Laurina dispatch the group of miscreant boys. “Well,” snapped Laurina her eyes flashing dangerously like a dragon about to devour a hapless scavenger she caught trying to make off with her treasure.
“R-right,” Chester stammered stupidly, “I-I’ll take it.” He fumbled in his pocket for his District 7 citizenship card.
“Alright then,” said Laurina, the hostility in her voice softened as she scanned his card and then the book. She likely dismissed Chester as one of those sleep deprived, caffeine powered, absent minded students too distracted with thesis statements and midterms to function like a normal person rather than a thief. “That’s one copy of Talons In the Sky: Predatory Habits of the Giant Harpy, short-term loan due back tomorrow by 5pm. “

That night Chester fought in vain to keep Laurina from haunting both his waking moments as well as his dreams. He had seen her manning the front desk of the library from the first time he ever went there but had never paid her too much attention. She always struck him as a twitchy, insecure thing. At most he would admit to occasionally watching her wide hips sway hypnotically as she carried large stacks of books back to their shelves and would admire the way her belly would peek out from beneath her top when she stood on the tips of her toes to reach a shelf just above her, but now he felt as though he truly saw her for the first time. She was more than then the timid librarian with the fanatically protective predisposition towards the books in her care. She was a beautiful and powerful hunter. Perhaps she was even more deadly than the giant creatures he was so fond of reading about. He smiled as he imagined her impressive girth spoke as a testament to her predatory prowess.

He thumbed absent mindedly though the book he had checked out before a particular passage caught his eye:
Harpies, while territorial by nature, are particularly aggressive during the egg laying period all the way up to the first 3 years of raising their offspring. While harpy eggs are regarded by many societies as valuable commodities (see chapter 14 for various recipes and home décor uses) venturing near a harpy’s nest during this period is ill advised and any attempts to poach and or damage their eggs virtually guarantees being swiftly ingested.

Chester couldn’t help but grin as an incredibly stupid idea began to take shape in his mind.

Returning to the library the next morning Chester moved quickly to the deserted stacks where the teenage boys’ game had been cut short. He scanned the shelves until his eyes passed upon an impressive looking first edition of an old, but well cared for book entitled Mysteries of the 7th District and the Creatures Who Live There. “Perfect,” he thought as he carefully pulled it down and set it on the floor. He opened the book to its half way point so that its pages neatly parted themselves. Chester licked the tip of his thumb and index finger before securing the top right corner of a page between them. He took a deep breath. This was easily the dumbest and possibly last thing he would ever do. With almost surgical precision he tore a single page from the book allowing the ‘rrrrrrrrip’ to echo through the gloomy corridors.

The sound continued to ripple through the room until it died out deep into the bowels of the building and then silence…
The room seemed to be holding its breath with anticipation. Chester could hear his own pulse pounding in his chest, ears and finger tips.

Suddenly Chester could make out faint tapping in the distance. The sound crescendoed until he would have sworn a bull had been set loose in the library and was barrelling towards him with alarming speed.

Laurina burst into view, her cheeks flushed and her hair practically crackling with electricity. Her eyes darted from the book at
Chester’s feet, the torn page he was clutching in his hand, to his face.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing!” Her voice was barely above a whisper (in respect of the library’s no shouting policy) but the fury behind her words was palpable. She dropped to her knees and scooped up the wounded book tenderly inspecting it. “Are you crazy?! This is a first edition!” she moaned in disbelief.
“I uh- “ Chester began.
“No, I’ve had enough of idiots like you defacing priceless books just because you’re too stupid to appreciate them. This is the last time!”

What happened next was a blur. Laurina pulled the camera from her purse and aimed it at Chester. There was a flash and suddenly Chester felt the ground rushing to meet him as though he were a magnet propelled by an irresistible line of force.
Before he could properly orient himself he was seized by an impossible large hand and dropped into a padded wooden box. The last thing he saw before the lid shut out all light was the satisfied sneer upon Laurina’s lips, “Such misbehaviour will be punished!”
Time seemed to crawl to a stand still for Chester. Were it not for the light up display on his watch (which like his clothes had also shrunk with him) he would have sworn that he had been in that box for days. He began to have second thoughts, but it was too late for that. He padded restlessly along the floor, running his hands along the surface. It was smooth and silky, and smelt faintly of dried tobacco. An old cigar box perhaps repurposed as a temporary prison. Chester could only wonder how many others had been trapped here before meeting their end in Laurina’s belly.

No other delinquents were dropped into the box which meant that everyone was behaving like good little boys and girls that day. Good thought Chester, I’ll have her all to myself then. He spent the day curled up on the floor, periodically checking his watch and then cursing after realizing that only a minute had passed from the last time he checked. Occasionally he was jostled about whenever Laurina moved her bag and he could only make out faint noises from the outside. By the 5pm the air in the box had grown alarmingly stale. Chester grew nervous. His breaths became short and sharp and he began to fear that he would suffocate long before Laurina released him, when his world was violently jerked beneath him sending him crashing against the opposite corner of the box.

The lid was popped open causing Chester to shield his eyes from the sudden influx of light that assaulted them. He blinked repeatedly as he rubbed the rapidly forming bump on the back of his head until the shapes around him came into focus. And then he looked up.
Towering over him like a tsunami about to crash down upon a defenseless city she stood- naked. Her stomach crested neatly over her midriff, while her breasts eclipsed the florescent light bulb flickering to life overhead. He drank in as much of her as his eyes could manage, admiring the way her weight distributed itself across her body, the unapologetic way with which she glared down at him, and the hungry glint that flickered in her eyes.

She reached down into the box and deftly plucked him up between to her thumb and index finger, holding him by the scruff of his shirt so that he dangled the way kittens do when carried by their mothers. As she raised him to eye level he was immediately struck by vertigo like he had been as a child riding the rapidly accelerating glass elevators on a field trip to one of the government research towers.

He peered into the enormous eyes catching a faint reflection of himself in her glasses, while she looked him over.
“Wait, I know you,” she said after a moment, “you’re the one always looking at those giant predator books. Hmm. Let me guess, you wonder what it would be like to be gobbled up by one don’t you?”
Chester’s ears drooped and he could feel his face burn with embarrassment.
“Well, you wouldn’t be the first like that I’ve come across. Can’t figure why, but we all have our own… eccentricities.” Laurina narrowed her eyes, “But how did you know, about me?”
“Yesterday,” Chester managed, his voice sounding several octaves higher than he remembered it being, “those boys. Playing baseball with the books.”
“Ah,” Laurina frowned, “I take it you were hiding behind the bookshelves then.” She paused biting her lower lip, “Were you alone? Did anyone else see?” She shook him slightly as she asked the questions.
“I was alone. Only I saw.” Chester managed as he was rattled from side to side.
Laurina sighed with relief causing her breath to wash over Chester’s body. It smelt of the breath mints sold at the library vending machine, but failed to completely mask the cups of stale coffee she sipped throughout the day while she updated the library records. The smell was intoxicating to Chester and he yearned to bring himself closer to her lips.
“Good,” said Laurina, once again assuming her dominate demeanor, “I’ll have to be more careful in the future.”

“So I’m guessing that little stunt with that first edition was to get my attention then?” As she spoke she began to pull off Chester’s clothes as though they were made of tissue paper. “Well then, it’s all yours.” And with a final sharp tug the last of Chester’s undergarments were torn from his body. She looked him over, sizing up the amount of meat on him. “I see you‘re still… up for this then,” said with a coy smirk and a playful poke at Chester’s crotch which sent a shiver through his body.

“Fine, but let’s get something straight, I won’t tolerate misbehaviour in my library, regardless of whatever little fantasy you have cooked up in your head.” She raised Chester directly over her mouth allowing the tips of his toes to rest on his lower lip. “You’re here for my pleasure, not the other way around.”

Laurina’s tongue began to snake out of her mouth, slowly creeping up the small of Chester’s back before cupping the back of his head. Chester watched as his feet entered Laurina’s mouth as she retracted her tongue into her soaking maw. Her throat shone with a dozen iridescent stands of saliva catching and reflecting the light magnificently, and betraying her own desire as much as the throbbing between Chester’s legs betrayed his. Soon she had engulfed his legs, then his waist, then his chest and finally his head which he tilted back to catch a last glimpse of light before the lips sealed around him.

Chester immediately set to work fearing his time to enjoy the experience could be cut short at any moment. He ran his hands over the hard slick teeth that surrounded him like a personal guard, pressed his finger into Laurina’s tongue and gently squeezed the velvety taste buds which gave a satisfying squelch. Laurina’s breathe mints were not able to hide as much of her mouth’s natural odor at this proximity prompting Chester to press his nose firmly against her tongue and inhale deeply. Positioning himself so that his lay with his chest flat against her tongue and his legs planted firmly against the backs of her bottom row canines Chester scoured his body against the textured surface gasping with the revelation of each new sensation.

Chester noticed his surroundings beginning to constrict around his body pressing him firmly against the roof of Laurina’s mouth. She began to suck on him in a slow rhythmic fashion that caused his ears to tickle before going off with slight ‘pops’ like those he had experienced when traveling by plane. Nuzzling her tongue with his nose he licked the pulsating muscle before him in a long steady strip tasting her as she tasted him. He spat out a gob of the coating on her tongue which was so thick it threatened to gag him. The hot, wet, stinking air in combination with his own exertions left Chester exhausted and drunk with pleasure. He stretched out languidly against Laurina’s tongue and proceeded to draw patterns on it with his index finger the way children sometimes do on carpets.

When the excess of saliva that had built up in Laurina’s mouth had become so plentiful that it threatened to drown her guest, she expertly maneuvered Chester to the front of her mouth, before dropping her tongue and swallowing the hot, sticky liquid. Chester could feel the shift in her throat and the rush of the saliva over his body as it disappeared in a swift, controlled gulp. Curious, Chester crawled towards the back of Laurina’s throat. Reaching up with both hands he cupped her uvula and planted a delicate kiss on it before releasing it so that continued to flutter and dance above his head as she breathed. Luckily this didn’t seem to induce any kind of gag reflex from her emboldening him to peer beyond the end up her tongue and down her throat. With no light, Chester was unable to make out anything beyond her epiglottis. As if to oblige Laurina parted her lips slightly allowing a small stream of light to permeate into her mouth and give Chester a better view. Fascinated he watched as her vocal chords snapped open and shut and vibrated when she let out a satisfied ‘mmmmh.’

“Well,” Laurina thought to herself, “I guess he’s had enough time to see the highlights, but now it’s time for the main event!” Tipping her head back and curling her tongue so that the tip rested upon Chester’s rear, she pushed him head first down into her throat, and with unrestrained relish she swallowed.

Chester sped down her throat with such velocity that he would have put an Olympic bobsled team to shame. He was deposited into Laurina’s stomach with a wet ‘shlurk.’ While his eyes were useless in the darkness that engulfed him, his other senses seemed to fire with an intensity he had never experienced before. He could hear the flesh working around him with an almost factory like tempo, could feel the beating of her heart vibrating through his own body like the sub woofers of a nightclub, and the smell was so potent his eyes watered and he grew light headed. With renewed vigor Chester pressed himself deep into the slick folds of Laurina’s stomach and left out a shriek of ecstasy so emphatic he was certain that even tucked away in her stomach Laurina would hear him.

Laurina paused, poking at her stomach with mild bemusement. She would never understand what drove those like Chester to seek out and willingly submit to the predators that lurked in the shadows of the 7th District, but they did make for interesting entertainment at least. Still Laurina felt ill at ease. She had been sloppy and let her desires get the better of her again. Had anyone other than Chester seen her yesterday this evening might have turned out very differently. However dwelling on the past wouldn’t change it, as she had learned all too well. Better that she learn from the experience and move on. She let out a stifled burp and gave her belly a playful tap. It jiggled gleefully in response. “Seems like our guest is enjoying himself down there isn’t he?” Her stomach burbled in agreement. It was hard to imagine what Chester was getting up to in there, but Laurina doubted that even a cap full of Pepto-Bismol would quench the burning passion that every now and then caused a faint fluttering sensation inside her belly. She wasn’t sure how she felt about her stomach being used in such a fashion; disgusted? Aroused? She shook the thoughts from her head as she drew herself a hot bath. It wouldn’t matter for long anyway because sooner or later all she would feel was empty again. And when that happened her hunger didn’t discriminate between a willing lover or a desperate miscreant.

A miniatures-gaming "battle board" made from Hirst Arts Castlemolds hydrostone castings by my friend Digital_Rampage, based on a piece of foam insulation board, painted with regular craft acrylics. The idea is that this textured base can serve as a visually-interesting starting point for representing miniatures battles in a sci-fi/cyberpunk RPG campaign I'm starting this Saturday -- and I can vary the layout by putting different terrain pieces and obstacles on the board.

In this setup, such features include some parts from an incomplete/broken "Robotix" set I picked up at the local Goodwill store, and some laser-cut/etched fluorescent acrylic panels from Warsenal ( [link] ) pinned onto some plastic "Hunger Games" figure bases.

For sense of size, each one of the floor tile squares is 1"x1".

::Autumn:: {OMtG Application}

Wed, 15 May 2013 16:16:27 PDT

^{Basic Information

:: Name :: Autumn
:: Age :: 18 moons
:: Gender :: She-Cat/Female
::Former Clan :: N/A
:: Rank :: Kittypet

Looking In The Mirror

:: Breed :: Long Haired Burmese
:: Genetics :: Burmese x Burmese
:: Build :: Sleek and Well Fed
:: Fur Texture :: Soft/Silky
:: Eye Color :: Bright Yellow
:: Accessories :: Light Pink Collar
::Voice Comparison :: Peggy Lee as Peg in Lady and the Tramp

When it comes to looking regal and full of one's self at the same time, Autumn foots the bill. This kittypet thinks highly of herself (Perhaps too highly.) and therefor is always making sure not a single strand of fur is out of place. However, she won't sit right down in the middle of one of her many adventures either just to scrape off mud from her fur. She spent much of her life as a well fed kittypet and therefor is far from lean and skinny when it comes to body structure too. Though not the thinnest cat around, she makes up for it by appearing to be a daunting fighting opponent when you first look at her and disregard the fact that she is a kittypet after all.

Autumn's fur is thick and silky soft, something that she prides herself on constantly and isn't afraid to tell everyone about multiple times. It includes many different shades of brown that swirl around and a black that wraps around her paws, center of her paws, and ears. She has an abnormal amount of fur around her face and tail. This she-cat's eyes are a bright yellow color and stand out against the brown framing her face. She makes a regular habit of sneaking up on cats in the dark just to see their reaction to a pair of eyes watching them. Her neck is adorned with a light pink collar and her voice often retains a scratchy yet light sound to it

On The Inside

:: Basic Traits :: Adventurous, Snappy, Brave, Gullible, Proper, Pompous

Adventurous-
"I wonder what's waiting out there for me."
Autumn was stuck up in a twoleg den for much of her life, unable to go out and forced to sit by the windows and look out into the world beyond. Of course, once the permanent leaf-bare set in her twolegs left their den, giving her a new-found source of freedom. She soaked it up like a sponge and now finds herself looking for new things to do constantly to sate that adventurous spirit. This usually leads to her getting into insane amounts of trouble, especially when it comes to poking around BrineClan. Autumn finds this clan to be highly amusing but has a hidden interest in their lifestyle that she never wants to indulge in herself, but still likes to watch

Snappy
"Can you just quit it already!"
Though Autumn might be one for meeting new cats from time to time she finds he patience slipping through the cracks during multiple excursions. She does not care for clueless cats who waste her time and sees that it is rather easy to get them to quite it if she makes a sarcastic comment. This kittypet takes anyone taunting her horribly too. In this sort of situation she would never try to be the better cat and would instead snap right back at them. Even if you are being kind and gentle, Autumn does have a tendency to be easily annoyed on her bad days and will react harshly to anyone that bothers her.

Brave
"Wait, I'm coming too!"
It's pretty hard to be as adventurous as she is without having built up the ability to be brave. She will sprint headfirst into the unknown and barely give it a second thought. Reckless to some, she sees no harm in this trait and if actually pretty proud of herself to be able to do such things. Autumn might stumble into trouble bigger than she is from time to time because she lets her ego get the best of her, but in the end her thoughts are always in the right place. She would stare down a clan cat with little hesitation too and sees nothing wrong with occasionally running along the clan border just to see the reaction she gets from anyone who happens by.

Gullible
"So you're saying birds actually speak cat?"
She might think of herself as smart, but that is far from the truth. If you said cats could fly you could most definitely get her to believe you if you made it look real enough when you showed this new fact off to her. Autumn still retains a sort of kit-like innocence to herself and does never really hesitate to question what is being said by another. The sad part is that this is not just restricted to those few cats she knows well. You could be a complete stranger and she would still stick to whatever you said like glue. Of course, you have to be prepared for her reaction when she finds out you are wrong.

Proper
"Watch your tongue. After all, you're speaking to a lady."
Raised in the finery of a kittypet household, Autumn still had a high believe in the manners system. She walks, talks, and acts like a lady if not set off into anger. She even expects others to behave the same way. You can get far with her just by being a true gentleman and showing the right amount of respect to her. This kittypet walks with an unseen grace, holding her head and tail high and wearing a playful smirk on her face at all times.

Pompous
"You just couldn't live without me; couldn't you?"
To put it simply: Autumn believes she is the center of the universe. Her favorite conversation topic is herself and there is never a story untold when she is speaking with you. She expects to be treated like royalty from time to time. (All she needs is a crown.) When she walks by she acts as if she owns the world. When battles are raged with words she will argue until she forces the other cat to reluctantly see her point. Autumn finds it hard to believe she is not the most essential cat in anyone else's lives and will react with indignation if her behavior is pointed out to her in any single way.

Way Back When

:: Previous Ranks :: Kittypet

:: Kittypet ::
There could never be a more simple kithood. Autumn was born to a young couple of Burmese cats with the names Peaches and Abott. The two had been in love since they were young, visiting each other when their twolegs had brought Abott over to Peach's house on play-dates. They stuck together like glue, and so it was no surprise that when Peach's twoleg suddenly passed away when she went to live permanently with him. Moons later, she told him she was expecting his kits. The couple was overjoyed.

Autumn and her brother, Winter, were born not that long after. There was complications with the birth but Peaches made it out fine. She counted her kits as a blessing and attended to their every need with a look of adoration and love on her face. Abott ghosted around the house, promising to protect his mate and kits with his life. As she grew up alongside her brother, the family grew closer together. They played games and rested together and never seemed to leave one-another's sides. Autumn herself was much different back then compared to how she is now. Her mother became her best friend. The two often sunbathed out in the twoleg's garden, speaking of tales from moons and moons ago. One of her favorite topics was stories about the cats who roamed the forests just outside of the fence.

But one day things changed. The twoleg that had sheltered them all mysteriously left, never returning. The house that was their home was suddenly empty. When they all wandered outside of the cat door they found out the answer to all of their problems. The air was alarmingly cold. In fact, it was too cold. It was supposed to be warm but the season had not changed over. With no twoleg to feed them, they were forced to scavenge for food and live off scraps. They grew thinner and more frustrated with their situation. The family that had once been so close turned against each other. Abott and Winter left Peaches and Autumn a few moons later, believing that they could find a warmer place to live and going on their way once the other two stated that they weren't leaving. Neither Abott nor Winter ever returned. It is assumed that they passed away on their journey from the cold and hunger.

Autumn, one a happy-go-lucky young she-cat, was forced to care for her mother. She dug through trashcans and pillaged the area for warmer places to live. However, Autumn was no medicine cat. Soon her mother was sick, coughing and hallucinating often in their makeshift den, the stinging cold air working against her. Peaches had lost so much and now her insanity and sickness drove her to death. Autumn came back one night from her search for food to find her mother lying dead on the ground. She lost it, crying out in shock and pain as she snuggled into her mother's cold fur. With a heavy heart, she buried her mother in a small pit not too far away the next day.

All alone, the kittypet was forced to figure out what to do by herself. The air got colder and colder. Snow was falling at times. The pelt that was once enough to keep her decently warm did no good and she was cold every single day. She was not used to being alone, but she soon met a mysterious longer who called himself Sky. The tom promised to teach her how to hunt in exchange for her mother's bright red collar, the one thing left from Peaches that she cherished greatly. Autumn gave it away without a second thought at the time, but she regrets it greatly. He ran off with the collar, never teaching her how to hunt. It would be a kindly old tom who noticed ehr messing up multiple times who finally taught her the basics, but he never told her his name.

These days Autumn hangs around her old twoleg's home, sleeping in the warmest parts of the house she can find and hunting in the forests. She wanders into clan territory from time to time and talks with anyone she runs into, hoping for the permanent company of another. Life is terribly lonely and miserable for her and she masks it with her arrogant and snappy personality.

Copperstreak ► BrineClan ► Deputy ► *xHalfaLife101x
I happened about her while walking along the clan's territory line. I'm going to admit that I just did it because I wanted to see who I would run into. I thought she would end up confronting me more harshly than she did. In fact, she was actually rather nice to me. It still makes me feel bad though.

Frostbite ► BrineClan ► Warrior ► *TurkFish
Hm, Frostbite was actually with Copperstreak but I did not see her until her name was called. I don't really know much about her but from what I can gather she seems pretty nice.

RolePlay Example

Oh how Linette fumed, still wrapped up in the suddenly silent nature that she had been forced into. Still, she meant what she said to Juliette. One day things would change. All would be equal and be given a chance to succeed in society. It would no longer only be the wealthy who managed government. All would pay taxes and no one would be able to squirm out of it because they might have more influence. It did not matter what others thought either, because she was most certainly going to be purchasing nicer clothing once this happened-if it ever did.

As she thought and continued her rather menial task of cleaning up the stand she had been charged with she felt Juliette elbow her harshly. At first she ignored her, telling her to quit it and leave her poor stomach alone. After a few moments however, it started up again, followed with her friend hissing in her ear. Linette had grown quite used to her friend's scatterbrained and often times odd way of going about things, but this was one of the things that bugged her a great deal. If she could have done so without any consequences, she most certainly would throw the apple she had just polished right back at her to show her how it felt.

"What! What is it? You act as if you are an young child sometimes. I swear by it!" Linette proclaimed harshly, barely sparing Juliette a glance as she took a dirty rag and wiped down the legs of the stand, which was a pretty useless thing to do anyways. It kept her from saying anything else though, which was probably the most useful part about it.

Juliette let out a sigh, hardly wounded by her friend's cold remark. These sorts of things tended to fly right past her most of the time as if they meant nothing to her. "I feel I would not be able to tell you if you continue going about what you are doing," she hissed through her teeth, wrapping her hand around Linette's arm and anchoring her back into a standing position as if she were simply helping her get up and not being a big thorn in her side.

"Now what is the big-" Linette could barely get in another word edge-wise it seemed today, for Juliette cleared her throat and scooted back over to her stand. As if it were some sort of secret code, she tapped her fingers across her stand and lifted her blue eyes, moving her head forward instead of pointing with her hand, which was hardly the proper thing to do anyways, especially at a person. Linette paused for a moment, gazing at her dead-on, obviously rather perplexed by her friend's odd behavior. She took on the actions of those seen used by mimes. If she had a puppet in her hands, she might even be able to be a puppeteer.

Linette followed where Juliette had motioned to and found two young men conversing, though she was sure there was something of much more importance or they might not have been worth pointing out at all. First of all, she could tell they must have been much higher up in society than she could ever hope to be. Their clothing appeared to be made finely and their hair was done; she would be the first one to admit that they appeared to be quite handsome. It almost made her stomach crawl though. You see, she was quite alright with keeping to her own class of people. They understood what it was like to go through life everyday and they were not usually ones who would think themselves better and more refined than you. It was where she belonged and perhaps she thought they had no right to be in a place inhabited by those of her own standing. They already had their fancy houses and splendid gardens.

As her eyes narrowed in on the two, she could hear Juliette giggling off to the side. Linette payed no head of it, though part of her deep down inside wondered what she must of done or how she must have looked to cause it. How long would they last before those who noticed their wealth tried to latch onto them like moths to light? Linette wished to watch, but another part of her wanted to confront them herself. After all, it wasn't often you got the chance to either speak to or taunt them. It was usually the other way around.

"Oh Messieurs," her voice rang out, slightly scratchy but all the more outgoing and amused in it's tone. "Is there anything I might be able to help you both with this fine July morning?"

Seeming quite proud of herself, she smiled coyly and rested her hands on the edge of her stand. Juliette, who had once been laughing, turned bright pink and started murmuring to her harshly about how that was the most foolish thing to do and how it was better to keep oneself out of trouble. Linette couldn't help it though, letting her friend fall on deaf ears as she kept her eyes locked on the two.

DO NOT OWN HUNGER GAMES

.:The Mysterious Wanderer:. {Nadezdha}

Fri, 03 May 2013 09:38:52 PDT

Obey the watermark.:bulletred

Name:
Nadezdha
Translation = 'Hope'

Age:
20's

Markings in-game:
Pelt; Nightfall. Antlers; Peacock. Mask; enetian Carnival.

Markings out of game/ Her actual pelt:
Nadezdha has a deep blue pelt made of silky, fine fibers. Lighter accents of electric blue and yellow splash through her dark coat, with an under frosting of dark grey. The yellow she carries glows somewhat in the dark, and has little star patterns. Her shoulders sport still wing-like fur formations. Notice they are not feathers, they are actually how her fur grows. Her hooves are a bright gold, and always shimmer, and the gold on her face is replaced by the bright hues of the Venetian mask in-game. Her fur is not nearly as long nor as thick as Farelia's, but it has the same texture. And also unlike the pale doe, Nadezdha is not afraid to show her feathers, which consist of various types of feathers. It sprouts from the center of her forehead, and slowly progresses into larger, longer feathers. All feathers contain a bio-luminescent spot, and the ones similar to the ones sprouting on her head are rimmed in gold.

Eyes:
Red

Special features:
Nadezdha's abilities are unknown to everyone but her. She is new in the forest, and it seems she is just a passer by. She contains the ability to affect other dear's dreams, as well as converse with the spirits of the dead, if they so wish to contact her. She has control over the shadows that lurk behind objects, and will often hide in them to spy on others. She is also quite the trickster. Nadezdha can also be considered an adept shape shifter.

Personality:
Nadezdha is by no means shy. But she is quiet and reserved. She will rather walk with pride than run with fear. She is curious and kind to those she deems worthy of her curiosity and kindness, and cold and cruel to those she despises. Nadezdha is friendly to an extent, but do not wear your welcome around her thin, or she will not hesitate to make it known you are no longer in her favor.

Past:
In her passed life, which she remembers very vividly, Nadezdha was a Mackenzie Valley wolf German Shepherd hybrid. She was born of a reputable breeder, who gave her as a present to a fellow... less reputable breeder. She was never sold to a good home; as the less reputable of the two promised; and grew up constantly fighting the breeding stock at the mill she lived at for food.
At the age of two years, she had a lame back leg and half of a tail, her ears had to be cropped because of infection from various rodent bites. As her breeder put it, she was 'ugly'. When his business was being investigated for animal cruelty, he too Naddezdha; called by 'Mutt' back then; and several other of the lesser cared for dogs, drove them out as far as he cared to go, and let them loose. He threw several bags of cheap dog food off the road and into the woods. All the dogs eagerly followed, hungry for whatever they could get. 'Mutt' knew that the food was not a free-for-all. And as soon as she realized this, the dogs began laying into one another, driven by hunger to horde all the food for themselves.
Once that ordeal was over, 'Mutt' lived with the slowly thinning pack of misfit dogs, some meandering away to die, and then being replaced by others their previous owner no longer desired.
'Mutt' was put out of her misery after a Mastiff became rabid and attacked her. She gained the lovely disease, stumbled out into the road, and was hit by a nice little compact sports car. The Sheriff's department ended her with a shotgun.
Stupidly, however, her previous owner left a collar on her, as well as a few other dogs, leaving his name and address in plain view for the officers.
His business was shut down after, and all the dogs repossessed. The ones in the wild were enticed forth with food, and those who were salvageable were given new homes and better lives.

Other:
She currently has no acquaintances save for fleeting conversations and passing glances. She likes to hang about the ruins or the Playground. She loves to play with fawns, and will even make herself a fawn to better play with wee ones. c:

Size:
21

Forms:
Deer
Human
Mink
Faun
Raven
Canine (still working on it.)

Voice:
Megara

Song:
Run Boy Run - Woodkid

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:17:57 PDT

In consideration of the newly released Catching Fire trailer I drew Katniss as she would appear on the cover of The Capitol Magazine. I tried to play around with the texture to give it a vintage look. Still working on the digital painting...

Katniss and Cato

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:23:15 PDT

Yep. A pairing

I joined a crapload of Hunger Games groups, and I thought it was about time to contribute

The characters are Katniss (the girl) and Cato (the guy, obviously XD) and I totally support this pairing

I noticed that (last time I checked) there wasn't any fan art of this couple, soooo I thought I'd help with that

Oh, I got their pose from a picture of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez (back when they were still together, a loooong time ago lol) in a magazine I saw...though I still can't help but think I totally screwed it up T.T I guess it's not that bad, but their anatomy just seems a bit...off. Idk

I know it's not the best, and I quite literally didn't know what I was doing when I 'attempted' to color this () but oh well, it's finished

I used 2 textures to help make this, and the credit for those goes to: `FantasyStock and =SaiyaGina

lol, hope you like!

DO NOT OWN

DayZ Zombie Apocalypse and Survival of the Fittest

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:11:35 PDT

You could kinda compare this game to the program: 'The Walking Dead' (Channel FX, usually on Fridays) If your a fan of 'The Walking Dead' then purchase the game on Steam!: [link]
[link]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DayZ is getting increasingly popular everyday
An enormous amount of 1 million players online!
I strongly recommened you play eeet ^^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DayZ is basically a first and third person human game where a huge 225 km squared map has broke out in a huge zombie apocolypse and your aim is to survive, search for resources, decided whos trust-worthy and avoid the diseased creatures that roam like drunken men but chase you and attempt to kill you when agrovated. Oh yes.. this..- this is serious SURVIVAL..

Id say the game is pretty unbalanced since Survivors just survive and kill zombies and work with other survivors but some Survivors kill or try killing other Survivors?! For Bandits, its understandable because Bandits and Survivors are severe enemies.

Heres the official website: [link]
Heres some Images: [link]
[link]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-You usually start on a beach and the rules are: Just SURVIVE
-You may find yourself running for miles and miles and miles and miles but you will, eventually, run into something or someone.. liiike: A car and dead zombie/survivor bodies scattered around it.. you never know what you'll bump into
-When you start you might find yourself getting annoyed with.. not knowing the controls, not knowing where you are or whos watching etc, don't worry heh, when I started I had no idea where I was, the controls took a while to get used to but you can find them in the Options menu when DayZ has loaded, I didn't know where to go or what to do.. I kinda started wondering off in a random direction, got lost and found 2 cows xD erm.. then started running through a dam forest.. and running and running and running until I died of lack of food and water.. next time I played, I FOUND A SURVIVOR surprisingly he didn't kill me so I followed him, lol he was being chased by LOADS of zombies, eventually when all the zombies were killed I asked him if he had a spare weapon but he said no (he was French ) so I just carried on following him and I FOUND AN AXE ^^ not the best weapon but better than nothing, so we carried on running again but then the zombies got him and he broke his leg and couldn't move or fix himself xD He told me to kill him I asked if he was sure and he said yes so I knelt down and axed him in the head, lol alittle joy from that but was upsetting since after I was alone D:

-Theres no ranks. Its based on a realistic military shooter (Arma 2)
-Its pretty nuts starting in a map 225 square kilometers, usually you start without a map or your supplied with one by the servers Admin; they decide what you start with since they run the server.
-Incredable stealth
-When you lie down the grass kinda lies down too, its really important because later on when you start running into Survivors; the environment is so massive that movement's a big deal, so when you see grass getting flattened from a distance then you can actually see a survivor, it depends
-If you fire a rifle or loud-related gun, its very loud and will attract zombies go to where the gun shot came from, thats probably when its time to RUN.. Players can hear gun shots also so try keep low, quiet and don't blow your cover!
-Be careful who you trust<
-Make sure you have FOOD and WATER< I died of thirst and hunger lol
-When you bump into someone (another survivor) some players ask you to put your gun down if your friendly.. But some people do the same although next minute, your dead.. its hard to trust people sometimes. Try not to get back-stabbed, you'll loose EVERYTHING, unless you spawn close to where you died^^ BUT whoever killed you most probably looted your body so good luck with that xD
-Dont worry, it may seem incredibly confusing i know! but i guess you can do it, its honestly really easy to get DayZ, you'll realize once you've just took few steps at getting the actual game Just read EVERYTHING in this deviation, don't just read the download and start trying to download it.. you don't yet know the game inside out.. besides reading everything will help connect with the info you hopefully got from YouTube and will give you a more understanding on how to install and successfully play DayZ. And c'mon don't be laaaaazy, I wont be making this any longer than it already is, just alittle reading isn't so bad^^ its good for you

--------------------------------------------------------
-Okay to get this game you will need to pay REAL money. yes.. that's right.. REAL money. Basically you need to download and install two games that you can get in a single pack for about .. eh £20-30 I think, I may be wrong but you can check on Steams website xD But yes the texture/style etc will be put onto DayZ from Arma 2, since its a MOD. Now it took me a very long and depressingly impatient time to get this awesome game to work but i eventually got it

-Now this is partly the way i managed to get the game. I don't really know how i did it o_o but... i did it so ill try my most best to explain -.-

-I recommend you try typing 'How do you download and install DayZ' into Youtube and try get some help, some indeed useful info. DO NOT just pick one clip and download from there, watch a few clips first so eventually you will gather enough info to know exactly what you have to do and when you've found a good tutorial, follow it and hopefully with the info you have, you could install DayZ. Its what i did, indeed a good technique; if you want the game that bad, try your utter best.
-------------------------------------------------------
~Detailed way to DOWNLOAD~:
~More easy/simple way to DOWNLOAD below the detailed explanation to download~

-You will need get DayZ Commander and download it: [link] then to go to Steam: [link] and make an account. Type in the search bar: 'Arma 2' then press Enter. Now find 'Arma 2 Combined Operations' and click it. A page will come up asking for your date of birth. Now its £16.99, the price might go down. I payed by Visa.
INFORM: The reason why you need 'Arma 2' and 'Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead' is because DayZ is a MOD and is still right now in huge development (like some buildings you cant get in; the developers will apparently make this accessible as well as a few glitches), so the texture and style is taken from Arma 2 to DayZ. Its alittle confusing.. (i know its extremely confusing.. actually getting the game to work might be confusing -.-) Along with 'Arma 2' and 'Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead' in the 'Combined Operations' pack you might also recieve a 'Beta', if you want full access to ALL the DayZ servers then install the 'Beta' too and run it 'As Administrator'.

-Ok, once baught you will need to go to your desktop and click the App: Steam. A small window should come up that allows you to login. Logged in, you can now click LIBRARY and your games should be there. You MUST run each game at least once, so get them both onto your desktop, then click one and 'run as administrator'.

-Once clicked and the game has loaded, just choose 'Campaign' or have ago at 'Bootcamp', besides you could get used to the controls and things you can do, they're pretty much the keys you'll use in DayZ. Now done go back to Steam on your selected browser and type in the search bar: DayZ Mod, this is free! Run this too, as Administrator, and DayZ should hopefully work.

-If it asks if you want to install 'Battleye', do it, accept and let it do its thing
-Ill put up a few screenshots up if it helps the explanation become clearer^^
-------------------------------------------------------
>Its been recommended that you buy 'Arma 2 Combined Operations' which contain both of what you need (Arma 2 and Arma 2 Arrowhead and the 'Beta' if you want full access to ALL the DayZ Servers< -- > You'll notice my point when you cannot access a certain server and it says you need a certain version to play that server (shows up in red text)
-------------------------------------------------------
~Simple/easy and short way to DOWNLOAD~:
1). Go to Steam and make an account, buy Arma 2 Combined Operations via Visa or other payment selection = [link]

2). Now you've baught Arma 2 Combined Operations, click your address bar on your browser and type in: www.google.co.uk

3). Type into Google: DayZ Commander = [link] (Click 'download')

4). Once having downloaded DayZ Commander and baught Arma 2 Combined Operations, click the Steam App on your desktop then click LIBRARY and run both the games (Arma 2 and Arrowhead) individually 'As Administrator' at least once. Choose Campaign or Bootcamp (get used to controls)

5). Now go to Steam on your selected browser and type in the search bar: DayZ Mod (This is FREE)

6). Once you've installed the DayZ Mod, make sure you run it also 'As Administrator'

7). Shut down all (ALL OF THEM) your windows and click the Steam App on your desktop. Click LIBRARY and click DayZ Mod then select 'Play'.

8). This is basically the way you should download; method wise, along with the info you hopefully gathered on youtube; (I dont know where to get the Code and Client, files etc but as i said, watch a few youtube tutorials. This is what i found out from a few basic tutorials, it worked, after i just needed to get the Codes and Clients etc )

9) Ok, to find your Steam Folder just click Start, then click Documents, now click 'Local Disk (C' (<---ignore the smiley) and click 'Program Files x68' for a PC with an Operating System of 64-bit and Program Files for a 32-bit. Okay once clicked Program Files or Program Files x68, scroll down and find the Steam folder, double click it then click 'common', once clicked common you then click the folder: 'Arma 2' and inside you make a Folder called: 'AddOns' and inside the AddOns folder is where you put 'pbo' files and 'bisign' files. Ok now click the other folder 'Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead', beneath the Arma 2 folder and create a folder inside Operation Arrowhead called: '@DayZ' <-- exactly how if writen it! Ok inside the '@DayZ' folder create another folder called: 'Addons' and inside there you will add certain files that i dont know how to get like: Dayz__code, Dayz__anim, community assess, vehicle and weapon files.
-Watch youtube tutorials! type in: 'How to download and install DayZ'. They will help.
-To find out whether your PC is a 32-bit, 64-bit or higher, theres a clear explanation below

-To check your Operating System just click START, hover over COMPUTER (My Computer) and RIGHT CLICK then options should come up, select 'PROPERTIES' and your Requirments and System information should come up and inform you what your Operating System is.

-If you happen to find a different way to download and you think it seems positvely better/convincing then this method, then go for it, up to you ^^
-If it asks if you want to install 'Battleye', do it, accept and let it do its thing
-If you've got 'DayZ Commander up on your screen you should see a selection above called: Install/Update and i think its yellow. Click it and the info that comes up should tell you what you've successfully installed, what you need to install and updates. You should have 'DayZ Commander'
'Arma 2'
and 'DayZ Mod' <-- if you dont have this here, which i didnt manage to get, install the first DayZ in the additional mods
-------------------------------------------------------
-INFORM: The reason why you need Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead is because DayZ is a MOD and is still right now in huge development (like some buildings you cant get in; they will apparently make this accessible as well as a few glitches), so the texture and style is taken from Arma 2 to DayZ.

You might find the car needs fuel or certain parts like an Engine or luckily not. Also you can repair helicopters), jerry cans, morphine, patrol pack, night vision, Box of matches, wood, GPS, range finder, NV (Night vision) goggles, Hatchet, Ghillie suit flashlight, road flares and a heat pack etc etc etc
>Everything you need.. for SERIOUS SURVIVAL<

I used a lot of different techniques in this graphic, including some distortion filters. I used some black and white paint splatter textures, and crystallized them, and some of them i actually pixellated. in order to make it look scattered, i used the lighten layer option and erased whatever was covering Effie's face. there's a lot of tutorials on how to create the cartoon character effect, i highly suggest you search the wonderful world of tumblr for some resource blogs to help!

Snow Golem Update!

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:18:06 PDT

He has his wood mask/hat thing :3 Which I made while I watched The Hunger Games. But also from request from my customer :3
It was kinda annoying though because I have like NO green yarn....well no green that is the right color. This was actually some Beilum yarn I got from New Guinea from some local ladies. Which means it has a different texture then most yarn .

Anyways I loved how it turned out and so proud of myself And it's removable since I thought it would be really dumb if I stitched it on.

YAY!!!! PARTY!!!

Top 10 Favorite Books - Updated - 2013

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:05:30 PDT

About The Picture

Alright, been a while since I did one of these... And if you saw my last Favorite Books meme, then you'll know this is a little different. The previous books I had in my last one, The Host and The Sight, I never finished, so they're not on here.
So, without further ado, here are my reviews/reasons for choosing these books.

10. Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
This used to be my favorite book--USED TO--but now I've grown out of that obsessive Twilight fangirl phase. It's been a while since I've read these books (particularly the first one cuz a friend borrowed it and never returned it, dammit), but I've found quite a few setbacks and flaws about this series that, as an aspiring writer, I find discontenting, but back when I was a mad fangirl, I didn't notice them. There's no denying Twilight has made an impact on many people and has become a household name... It's hailed as one of the greatest love stories of all time... But is it? I don't think so. Bella Swan, the female protagonist, is a bland, empty vessel that female readers can occupy, so in a sense they become Bella, and therefore the story takes on a new personal feel. But she isn't the bravest, smartest, or most endearing of female characters I've come across, now that I've taken the time to really analyze it. The love story between her and Edward is misconstrued and double-edged with negative aspects; Bella does everything and anything for Edward, regardless of who she hurts, and despite all the bad stuff that comes to happen or that she's worried of happening, there are never any consequences for her. Edward's worried about her becoming a soulless monster when she becomes a vampire? Oh, well forget about it; she passed the newborn vampire test with flying colors! Bella's pregnant with a mutant baby that could possibly be a hybrid monster of monstrous proportions? Nope, she's a perfectly angelic little baby with no flaws whatsoever! Bella's worried she has to leave behind all her friends and family when she becomes a vampire? Don't worry about that, either, cuz she ends up balancing herself between both lives/worlds! And, despite the fact Edward never let her think for herself and always decided what was best for her, she kept crawling back to him because...because...???????????? Why???????? Because he's a brooding, mysterious creature that thirsts for her blood but for some strange reason, he decides overnight that he is madly in love with her because she smells so good????? Do they even have ANYTHING in common?? Like hobbies or passions or anything??? Not in my memory... And then the thing with Jacob/Reneesme... Everybody makes a big deal about him imprinting on a baby thing; my problem, even though at times I think it's sweet, it's merely a consolation prize Stephenie through in since Bella ended up with Edward. All throughout the saga, Jake (although a bit whiny) was free-thinking, and he despised the idea of losing his choice and imprinting on a girl simply because of some "wolf magic". But then it does happen to him, and though it's sweet he and Bella will end up being a part of each other's lives in the end, I can't help but feel sorry for him... :/
If there are all these things wrong with it, then why is it in my top 10 faves?? For nostalgic reasons, I suppose. Even with all these flaws, I still enjoy Twilight on some miniscule level, and it takes me back to a period in my life where things were a little nicer. I enjoy the Cullens as a family, forget that they're vampires; they have that nice, tight-nit family setting that is comforting at times. And then there's Jacob Black... He's my favorite character in Twilight (up to a point) and he reminds me a great deal of a friend I do have in my life, so... Yeah. I could give a rat's ass about the sparkling vampires and stuff... To each their own, it's just another vision in the ageless mythology of vampires and werewolves. Twilight, as I classify it, is a "friendlier" version of the vampire/werewolf story, where people who weren't into it originally because of gothic, gory themes associated with the genre, can enjoy it in a refreshing new way.
Twilight, my "guilty pleasure".

9. Bambi by Felix Salten
My connection to Bambi is classic Disney film of the same name, though the novel was written far before the film's time. Even as a child, I've always been fascinated by animals and nature, and since the film Bambi got this started for me, I decided to pick up the novel in middle school. It's an intimate fictional biography, if you will, of a young deer's life as he struggles to survive in the harsh world. Heartbreakingly beautiful and delightful, this short but good read is perfect for pulling out on a rainy day.

8. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
Like Bambi, this book is a relic--but a classic. In middle school when I was getting into horses, this was one of the first books I picked up next to the Black Stallion. The first-person narrative of the horse throughout his lifetime just created a stronger connection with the story, and it makes us as humans stop and think of what we do to our animals--not just horses; it makes you think about ways you can improve how you treat animals as well as other people. And, having had experiences with mistreated horses in my life, this book is a special gem in my heart, for it has the ending I wish I could have had with the horses I cared for.

7. The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause
Done by the same author as my #1 favorite book, The Silver Kiss was a delightful surprise. I'm not much of a vampire girl, and this story is strictly vampires. But after I read Klause's other novel Blood and Chocolate and became a "werewolf nut", my "vampire nut" friend recommended I read the Silver Kiss. I finally got around to purchasing my own copy, and though it is a short, tiny book, its story is truly brooding, gothic, yet not without human emotion seeping off its pages. In fact, this is one of the few novels that has ever made me choke up at the end (and I don't cry easy). Where Twilight falls short, this short little novel really delivers as a vampire novel, and as a story in general. In fact, this book told a better love story in 198 pages than Twilight did in 4 books (I know that meme is old but it's the truth in this case). So, vampire fans, pick up this book! Curl up next to a fire on a rainy night and enjoy this sweet little read

6. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I have yet to finish reading Catching Fire and Mockingjay, but I am glad I picked up this series. In a futuristic, dystopian world that seems to have so many riches and technologies, there is an underlying mideival tradition that many of us couldn't imagine enduring. After all, what is more stressful, terrifying, and trying than being a piece in a cruel game where you're planted in the middle of the woods with barely minimum essentials, and you must kill or be killed if you want to survive the games.
This world is truly fantastical as it is intimidating, and it's a heart-racing thrill ride that will keep you turning the pages, with a strong heroine you'd want to have on your side if you ever find yourself in a pickle.

5. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
What can I say about this series that hasn't already been said? Harry Potter awakens the child in all of us, and those of us who are 90's kids--those who were ten, eleven, and twelve years old by the time the first book came out--and literally grew up with Harry, I feel are the luckiest. As an aspiring writer, this series is the pinnacle of literary gold, in the sense of its scale. When I was a kid, however I wasn't as big on these books as I am now, but regardless of my lack in desire to read the books, the world was undoubtedly appealing and magical (yes, I watched the movies more/before I ever read all the books). By the time the 7th book came to a close, the story and journey we took with Harry had a bittersweet happy ending, and although it is a fantastical, mythical world, its themes were very real-world and relatable. Harry Potter will be a story and series that will hang around for many, many generations. That is all I can say

4. The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series (Shiver, Linger, Forever) by Maggie Stiefvater
One of my favorite werewolf stories by far. If werewolves were in fact real, this is probably how they'd be. The story is so real and relatable, yet with just the right amount of magic and science to create a perfect balance. The love story is one of my favorites; a young girl attacked by a pack of werewolves (which are just wolves) and yet despite this, she doesn't fear them, and develops a fascination for one wolf in particular; during the summer, this wolf of hers becomes a boy, and finally, they meet, and struggle to stay together with the impending change coming their way. Unlike Twilight, which is sappy and empty, this teenage love story between Grace and Sam (the main characters) is very real and practical; there is a nice balance between their relationship and the relationships they have with the people and the world around them.
When you finish these books, you'll feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and you may even get a little choked up Give it a read!

3. The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
The world in these books is HUGE--like Harry Potter huge. It's truly a fantastic, refreshing new take on the world of the supernatural, from witches to warlocks to demons and vampires and werewolves. The plot is filled with twists and surprises, and after you finish reading even the first book, you'll want to dress in leather and call yourself a Shadowhunter! Not to mention there are a good handful of guys to drool and daydream about... *cough*JaceWayland*cough*
The final installment of this series is yet to be released another year from now, and like everyone else who's read these books, I am at the edge of my seat!!!

2. The Divergent Trilogy/Series (Divergent, Insurgent, ????) by Veronica Roth
For the longest time, The Mortal Instruments was in my #2 spot, and I didn't think anything could surpass it. And then I read Divergent... Mind blown. People compare this to the Hunger Games quite a bit because, like The Hunger Games, it is set in a futuristic, dystopian world (they have the same names as states and cities of today do), but instead of Districts you have Factions, and each are categorized by their lifestyle and values (Amity= peace, Dauntless=fearless, Candor= honesty, etc.)
I am OBSESSED with these books, and it's all because of 's fan art... The heroine/main protagonist, Beatrice Prior, is my favorite fictional female character EVER, and I rarely ever do become so fond of female characters. She is independent, but her loyalty to her family leaves her torn, and though she was raised to be quiet and tame, she grows into a strong, able individual, and finds herself enjoying a life she never thought she could live. And then there's Four, the male protagonist... Oh, be still my heart!! *swoon* He is my latest fictional crush... The love story, though been called out as “predictable”, is one of my favorites ever. But aside from that stuff I usually gobble up, this plot is so deep and revealing about human nature, it’s just captivating. Its setting is disturbingly similar to the society we live in today, and touches on corrupt government trying to control its citizens by controlling not only how they act, but how they THINK. Not only that, but the whole story has a perfect balance of drama, action, suspense, romance, and humor. Then, you’ve got the hero factor; these days, strong female characters are in, which is awesome and dandy (after all, we don’t need more Bella Swans in the literary world!). In The Mortal Instruments, both the girl and the boy equally kick ass, but not quite to the degree as in Divergent. Rather than have the girl be the damsel in the distress and having the guy save her all the time, or the roles reversed where the girl kicks all the ass and the guy is the weakling, Divergent has the perfect balance of male and female heroism. There are some male characters who are weak, some who are strong, and the same is as such for the female characters. Also, there are consequences EVERYWHERE. Every decision our main characters make has a consequence, and people usually end up dying because of it. Everything goes from being an orderly society to a kill-or-be-killed world.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these books!! Can't wait for the third in October!

1. Blood And Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause
This book will always ALWAYS have a soft/special spot in my heart... I read this when I was 15, right as I was getting into my werewolf phase, and this novel is actually responsible for me wanting to pursue writing as more than just a past-time or a hobby. It's just my kind of werewolf story; sharp, edgy, sexy, thrilling, dark, and with some humor. The love story throws some curve balls at ya, and presents some pretty good themes of coming of age, finding where you belong, being accepted for who you are, taking responsibility for your actions, etc. Like The Silver Kiss, it's pretty short; about 30 chapters.
The main character, Vivian, though described by many as an arrogant, whiny bitch, is an intriguing character. Unlike most female protagonists these days who are humble, kind, and often with low self-esteem, Vivian is confident--almost to an arrogant extent--and though she has her morals, she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. The love story/triangle isn't like Twilight; people always complain about the end of the story when Vivian is paired with a character some readers say is "out of character"/a bad match, but I feel it fits perfectly. The novel ends almost at a cliffhanger with these two characters, but in being nearly 15 years old, it is unlikely Mrs. Klause will ever write a sequel. It's another one of those short n' sweet one-time stories you wish would continue... *sigh* A note to any future readers though: before you judge this book too harshly, keep in mind it's one of those stories you have to completely lose yourself in; you can't just be an "outsider looking in" as most readers are when reading a new book. And it may take a couple rereads to really feel something for this book; it's how it was for me. Each time I read it (and I've read it a hundred dozen times) I find myself falling in love with it even more.
Anyhoo, this will probably remain my favorite book (if I HAD to choose) for a long, long time. If any book was to ever surpass it, it would probably be Divergent (in fact, I'd say Divergent and Blood and Chocolate are tied, more or less).

That little word

Sun, 24 Mar 2013 22:05:44 PDT

I had been turning towards him, and in the moment had not realized how close we had been sitting. As my head makes it's full revolution to face him, our noses almost bump, putting us eye level only inches from one another. I feel his hot breath echoing on my chin, his deep, brown eyes reflecting my own crystal blue ones.

"I-I...umm..." he stutters, unable to find words. That little word looms in the small crevice between us, too timid to form the sound, yet very well noted. Perhaps if it stays there long enough, maybe the two of us will acknowledge it's presence. It's there, creeping, snickering from the space that separates us.

...Kiss?

I have been spending far too much time holed up alone in my house. And from this occurence, artistic crap such as this springs forth. Please ignore the horribly edited texture and crappy oversized hair. Clove also came our uglier than I wanted her to.

During in my boredom days, i have been looking a game of creativity on the internet and i heard that Mindcraft is a good choice to play and believe it or not its really ADDICTING GAME EVAR!!!
And i took some couple of picture of my progress building my fortress soon

Minecraft is a sandbox indie game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. It was publicly released for the PC on May 17, 2009, as a developmental alpha version and, after gradual updates, was published as a full release version on November 18, 2011. A version for Android was released a month earlier on October 7, and an iOS version was released on November 17, 2011. On May 9, 2012, the game was released on Xbox 360 as an Xbox Live Arcade game, co-developed by 4J Studios. All versions of Minecraft receive periodic updates.

The creative and building aspects of Minecraft allow players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, gathering resources, crafting and combat. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: survival, which requires players to acquire resources and maintain their health and hunger; and creative, where players have an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no health or hunger. A third gameplay mode named hardcore is the same as survival, differing only in difficulty; it is set to hardest setting and respawning is disabled, forcing players to delete their worlds upon death.

Minecraft received five awards from the 2011 Game Developers Conference: it was awarded the Innovation Award, Best Downloadable Game Award, and the Best Debut Game Award from the Game Developers Choice Awards; and the Audience Award, as well as the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, from the Independent Games Festival in 2011. In 2012, Minecraft was awarded a Golden Joystick Award in the category Best Downloadable Game.[5] As of January 22, 2013, the game has sold over 9 million copies on PC and over 20 million copies across all platforms.[6]
====WIKI SOURCE====
In Mindcraft you can have four difficulties:
1. Peace : Hostile mobs don't spawn naturally. When they spawn from spawners, they are removed from the game instantaneously. Players regain health over time. Despite regaining health over time, it is still possible to die if damage is received quickly enough. Switching from any other difficulty setting to Peaceful results in existing hostile mobs, except for hostile wolves, being removed from the world. The Food Bar never depletes and players cannot eat anything except Golden Apples, unless the player has switched to Peaceful when their Food Bar was below the maximum.
2. Easy : Hostile mobs spawn. Enemies deal less damage than on normal difficulty. Creepers will cancel their explosions after moving only a short distance away. The Food Bar can deplete and will leave the player with Heart.svgHeart.svgHeart.svgHeart.svgHeart.svg if it drains completely. Cave Spiders cannot poison players on easy difficulty, and the Wither won't cause the Wither effect, although Wither Skeletons will.
3. Normal : Hostile mobs spawn. Enemies deal standard damage. The Food Bar can deplete and will leave the player with Half Heart.svg if it drains completely.
4. Hard : Hostile mobs spawn. Enemies deal greater damage than on normal difficulty. The Food Bar can deplete and will slowly kill the player if it drains completely. Creepers will not cancel their attack unless a large distance is between them and the player, making the explosion much harder to avoid. Zombies break through wooden doors.

Never Ending Nightmare 17

Art: Aqua By Kairilovessora

Sorry for the major delay, guys. Therapy is a bitch and I just started walking without a crutch. Hurray for me! Anyway, i hope you guys don't hate me too much for taking so long. Still trying to get back into the rythm of things. Enjoy!

Never Ending Nightmare
Chapter 17

“Naminé is already pregnant?” gasped Ven and Vanitas. A few days had passed and Sora’s had already shown signs of pregnancy, but Naminé showed the greatest progress. Sora sat slumped in his black throne, resting his head on his propped-up hand, thinking of how to approach his newly emotional brides. This certainly explained why Naminé had seemed so out of vampire character the other night.

“All four of them now. In retrospect, I probably should’ve gotten them pregnant one at a time.”

“You really dropped the ball there, huh, man?” asked Vanitas with Olette nibbling on his neck. Fuu did the same to Ven only she was much more aggressive about it.

“Speak for yourself. Olette is already showing, Vani,” laughed Ven. Vanitas jumped up fast, cracking the floor where his feet hit.

“I told you never to call me that!”

“Both of you knock it off,” Sora growled. He barely raised his voice, but both of his brothers backed down. “We’re dealing with four emotionally unstable vampires. Two of whom are total sexual deviants and the other two are the most adorable bloody angels I’ve ever tasted. Anyone wanna guess how chaotic it’s going to get here?”

“Sorry, man,” said Vanitas as he sat back down and sank his teeth into Olette. Ven, still rubbing his neck from where Fuu had been feeding, apologized, too.

“Now, how are we going to handle this?” Sora asked. He felt awful, like he was burning up from the inside out. His throat also felt dry, like all the blood he had drunken had scabbed over in his throat. His hunger was eating away at him. He was aware of his claws beginning to dig into the arms of his throne. “Never mind. We’ll speak of this later.” He rushed out of the room and down into his personal pit of prisoners to feed his bloodlust. He wasted no time in tearing into the warm bodies that scattered at the sight of him. He didn’t count how many he slayed, his vision only seeing the red of their blood in a world that was black and white. When he was finished, the pit was noticeably quieter and more spacious than when he arrived. He breathed deeply as the bloodlust was subdued for now. He returned to the levels of the castle above. As he was walking, Aqua pounced on top of him and sank her fangs deep within his neck. He didn’t mind her playful game. As of late, he had encouraged his brides to drink more and more of his blood to keep up their nutrition for their children, hence his increasing need for blood himself.

“Good morning, master,” she laughed as her needle-like fangs tickled the muscles of his neck as she drank her fill of his blood. He swung her around to kiss her metallic moist lips. Even if it was his own blood, to feel her lips so moist and smooth was like feeling the texture of polished marble. The same could be said for her body. Apparently there was some truth to the myth of bathing in blood. Aqua probably went through more blood than any other vampire in the castle just to keep her body in perfect condition.

“I was wondering where my brides had run off to,” he said, his smile now stained with his own blood. For some reason, he thought his blood looked beautiful smeared all over Aqua’s face.

“Oh, master, I can’t wait until we have our own little one running around the palace, playing with his brothers and sisters. Oh! I want it out so badly so I can never let go of it!” The glint of joy and excitement in her eyes almost brought Sora to shed a tear of joy. Almost. Since she had been turned, she had let her beautifully dark side take over, draining everything in sight, craving sex, wanting blood to rain down on her like waterfalls. It was wonderful to see her so full of vibrant energy again.

“Since finding out about the pregnancy term for vampires, I can’t wait either. Think of it! Only a few days for a vampire to develop and then be born! I want to see my children as much as you four.”

“Oooh, tell me, master. What shall we name ours?”

“Not sure. I guess it all depends on if it’s a girl or a boy.”

“Oh, I hope it’s a girl! I’ve always wanted a daughter.”

“If it isn’t, I’m willing to try as many times as it takes until you have one,” he whispered in her ear. Apparently that promise only put her in an even happier mood. She wrapped her legs around his waist and bit into him with her fangs pushing farther into him than she’d ever had before.

Sora woke up from a blackout just as the black sun was setting. From what he could remember, he and Aqua had sucked each other’s blood non-stop. That had caused somewhat of a drunken blackout effect. Of course, he was used to waking up from these sometimes. This, however, was the first time where he felt something. FELT as in feelings! He scratched his head, trying to wrap his mind around it. Why was he feeling? He moved his hand down towards his neck and felt the spot where Aqua’s first punctures had been. He could still feel the ghosts of her fangs, as if they were still stuck in his neck. The euphoria that most victims feel when being drained! Had…Had some of Aqua’s emotional hormones…crept inside him? Where these Aqua’s emotions? Sora wasn’t sure whether he liked this or not. On one hand he felt almost human again, which made him feel like a drug addict without any drugs and burning up inside. On the other hand, he felt closer to his brides now more than ever.

“What to do? What to do?” he laughed to himself as he strut about the castle corridors.

(Hope you guys liked it.)

Just trying out some textured brushes and a different style. It looks kind of lonely because I was listening to songs from the Hunger Games soundtrack while I was painting it. lol

It's been a long time since I draw portraits. It feels good drawing this realistic stuff again. This is Jennifer Lawrence! My fave actress! I like her role on Hunger Games!

This is drawn on photoshop. I added canvas-like texture so that it would look drawn on canvas. I hope you like it!

HGOCT: District 6 on Parade

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:50:06 PST

(WARNING: HUGE FILE ALERT! Download for full view. )

Finally, the moment you all have been waiting for! The suspense to know what their outfits would look like has surely been killing you for the past few months, but I was prepared and resistant to the urge to post my concept sketches. But now the curtain has been lifted and you can see their costumes in all their checkered, neon glory.

Let me tell you the inspiration behind these costumes, in case you haven't guessed. As you know, District 6 specializes in manufacturing transportation and vehicles, from cars and trains to jets and hovercraft. So how would we use this theme to create wearable clothing that wouldn't look like a walking scrap heap?

X-I and I were discussing through email what to do for the Parade, and we were having trouble coming to an agreement on what we should do. At first I was thinking industrial-age Steampunk style with smoking exhaust pipes and all, but she was thinking more along the lines of streamlined futuristic sci-fi style clothing. Eventually she mentioned racecar drivers, and I was inspired. The checkered flags, helmets, color schemes, and headlights all came to mind, and I began sketching out ideas and emailing them to X-I so she could see and approve and make changes and suggestions when necessary.

When she started talking about how we could add car-like armor, that was another boost of inspiration, but it required that I go over and redesign the concepts again! After a while we finally came up with something we both liked that seemed true not only to our stylists, but also to the district theme, Capitol flair, and our own characters' preferences. By golly, I tried my best with what I was given and here they are.

So what we have here are gladiator-like warriors, with a theme of two cars equally prepared to reach the finish line and take the prize! You can see that Riven's high heels are tires, and the soles of Hinge's boots are tire tread. The streamers coming off their backs are meant to represent the finish line and complement the recurring checkered theme with more black and white, and their nails are also painted to match. The colors are inspired from Prima's odd obsession with the primary colors. So Riven is pinkish-red, Hinge is blue, and they both have golden accents to tie the designs together. Riven's lipstick is lined with gold lip-liner, and they both have eyeshadow in their respective colors.

_{(Just for the record, I'd like to state that since Riven is a skinny bean-pole of a girl, she has basically no figure. Prima decided that a chestplate would be just the thing to hide this fact and make her slightly more "appealing" to the Capitol audience. XD)}

This is a full design collaboration between X-I and me. I made the designs, she refined them; I drew them, she reviewed the whole thing and nitpicked the details. It was a real team effort, all done behind the scenes to produce the finished product. I hope you all enjoy. (By the way, X-I is made a written accompaniment to this picture to complete the collaboration! You'll want to check that out. )

Bonus Material for Your Entertainment

I was listening to all kinds of music while making these designs (after all, I was working on it for over 8 hours over the course of a week), and one of them that I really liked had certain lyrics that I started to play around with in my head. As it turned out, they translated well to Hunger Games syntax, so I copied and pasted the lyrics from a website and rewrote them slightly to reflect the superficial yet dangerously cutthroat nature of the Hunger Games.

_{Hunger Games! Made-up tributes on Parade
Hunger Games! Hide your sneer so the Capitol will like you
Hunger Games! Every dress a different shade
Hunger Games! Look around, there's another spy behind you!

Flash of skin
Splash of blood
Fool and bait
Rope and hood
Red and black
Starve and feast
Trace of fear
Face of beast
Faces!
Take your turn, make a kill
On the national show
of an inhumane game
Bruise of black
Tear of blue
True is false
Who is who?
Curl of lip
Swirl of gown
Mace of stone
Face of hound
Faces! Drink it in, drink it up
Till you've drowned
In the light
In the sound
But who can name the face?

Hunger Games! Gruesome murders, stunning deaths
Hunger Games! Take your fill; let the spectacle astound you
Hunger Games! Dying glances, lifeless kids
Hunger Games! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Hunger Games! Seething shadows breathing lies
Hunger Games! You can fool any host at the Interview
Hunger Games! Leering Gamemakers and spies
Hunger Games! Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you!}

I had too much fun rewriting that. And all the words still match the meter of the original song! Oh yes, I almost forgot! If you actually read all that, you earn the right to ask me (almost) any question and get a (reasonably) honest answer.

Catching Fire Poster Reboot

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:49:33 PST

I've taken a different approach to the promo posters they have released for CF, and kind of added a bit of a fire effect to it. I went through and box blurred a lot of the texture layers to give it some fluidity but kept the red flaming layers natural to keep it gritty and rough looking.

Line art by the brilliant [link], rachaelm5 had her inspiration from tron and the ballet but it struck me as having a 'girl on fire' hunger games vibe so I kinda went that route.

I really love seeing pictures of Katniss with wings, so I thought I'd try it myself This started as a pencil sketch, but I wanted to try colouring it, so this is the result! I've used this texture before, but I'm a lot happier with the result here

Fiery Dragon's Breath Necklace Swarovski links SS

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:27:27 PST

[link]
Our largest opal we offer in our Fire Opal Designs. Flames appear to eminate from deep inside the stone and appear to flash in different patterns as light hits the stone. Set in an ornate floral framework that is heirloom quality. Bail is hand forged in sterling silver over copper wire. World renown swarovski crystals are set in antiqued sterling silver finish links. These links are wire-wrapped and not done with commercial jump rings. This makes them secure and elegant. Chaining is textured silver finish with our signature hand forged loops and hook for a simple fitting. Regular price is $58.49. On sale now for 46.49.

These Fire Opal stones are one of a kind pieces as every opal is unique. These stones are made in present day, but date back to Victorian times where they were worn in necklaces, brooches and earrings. Historical figures were also mesmerized by the nature of the seeming "fire flecks" shimmering within these unique stones.

Would make a wonderful birthday, anniversary or Mother's day gift. This listing is for the necklace only. I have included a photo of matching earrings which can be found here [link] The settings of these earrings match the links exactly, but are set with smaller fire opal stones. If you wish to have earrings with the swarovski crystals, we can also do this upon request. Listing is for necklace only.

As with all our items, this special necklace will arrive beautifully packaged, all ready for gift giving.
