right, is it sad and or worrying if you ignore your homework and all you seem to want to do is draw XLR8 from Ben 10. And then do so, from memory. ????




Halp...

I tried to upload something. I got foiled by the upload system.

How does one upload images anymore? I try to add a category and it loads a screen browsing said category, forgetting i am indeed uploading something.

Bah!

Exams? Yes.

Life? What is that again?

Ive been drawing things and one day they might see the light of day on here, but to be honest, it's mostly schoolwork, huge acrylic things or gifts for freinds that wont work their way on here ever.

We shall see. It's struck me how much ive just.. changed.. since i joined here. I like to think i can draw a little better now. Oh those first few things were embarrasing.
Ill be 18 this year...

Hm.

I have come to the conclusion that Muse are mad. I saw them at Wembley last night... just when you thought this show couldnt get any bigger, shinier... it did. They had huge satellite discs on poles that looked like Matt was trying to contact alien life with. They had things that exploded. They made an entire, packed stadium of 70000 people put their phones in the air to Soldiers Poem without actually asking us to.

The result was stunning, like sitting in the stars.

Fantastic gig.

70000 people shouting madly at a stage is really, really loud.


I also got my art grade back... In the whole course.... i sortof only dropped 17 marks.. so i got 283/300..

I do have other art, and quite a bit of it, i just havnt uploaded lots here at all, because of time restrictions. And now im doing advanced Russian a year after doing the basics, i'll have even less time. JOY!

And now to work.

I'm going to have to work stupidly hard again...i can tell...

In the same week, i have a quarter of an hour Spanish speaking exam, then two days after the art my Russian, of which i've only written about 10 questions for. I have to write up to 40 more and then remember them..

I have a week of semi-panic after this madness, then i go on study leave where, oh joys, there are more exams pretty much immediatley.
Including Mechanics, and i havnt even finished the course for that, let alone have confidence in answering exam style questions.

I thought, this year, i would have most trouble with my languages, but that's not really the case cos i can do the Spanish fine, and ive always been able to mega cram and get a good mark in speaking exams.

Instead, no, it's been the one thing i would have no trouble with this year....
Art.


Taking A-Levels is not for the faint at heart.


After ive finished my exams, i have about three days of peace, then i have to back and start the A2 courses... This is designed to make me even more tired, overworked and exausted.

But, i do go to China at the end of it all.

Ok, so they were probably woken up by the fireworks, but it was still fascinating.


New year. I feel really old. This is from someone who still sees 1999 as the other day...

New pictures? Oil painting i might take a photo of? Ballpoint drawings? Me? New things? That i want to upload?

All of a sudden, i'm sprouting languages out of my ears, and surprisingly, everything stays in! I learnt my Russian alphabet in a couple of weeks, and that sort of knowledge rings of permanent. I get a feeling, once ive learnt something, that it'll stay there, especially with some language related things.

Spanish is getting increasingly challenging, as we are now asked to think about concepts and issues we have a complicated veiw of in English, that hard bit is saying what you feel in a language you don't perhaps know how to phrase it in!

Chinese is going to be quite a mountain to climb, it's unlike any other language ive learnt. I can't wait until i start to recognise the characters, i'm already beginning to, but seeing as i need around 2000 to be literate, and i can recognise about 6-7 at the moment... ive got a way to go.

Art is a mountain of work, ive got to do a double page spread in one week, every week for the one teacher's project, and the other is just a lot of work!
Ive not drawn anything for myself in a while.

I don't know when or if ill have more art to post here, seeing as i really havnt in who knows how long.

But i live, and school, while a lot of work is starting to be really, really interesting!


And, i got gerbils!

In one word, i am currently: overworked

It's bearable at the moment however, even though for most classes i have two teachers and each seperate teacher wants homework off me, it is do-able because of the free lessons. If i do the work as soon as i get it, it means i have evenings free to actually relax.

That was the plan until art started.. But, again, by getting everything else out of the way, i now have evenings free to do art! And... sometimes even my own! I got two doodles down in the past couple of days and i feel more inspired than i have done all summer. This may be because i finally gave in the summer project (Teacher was extatic about it) and have more room in my room as a result.

My bag almost tips me backward every time i put it on. But i now have a locker(I managed to break one of these on the induction day.. to this day, none of the teachers know..) so i dont have to lug everything everywhere.

Im enjoying everything so far apart from the sheer amount of work. But, if i keep on top if it, i wont have a problem. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9871316/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9871316/ Sun, 27 Aug 2006 09:39:47 PDT
It's taking forever. Ive lost cound of how long, but weeks and weeks.

I also had another purge of the gallery. It's not who i am anymore. I changed a lot this year (It must be profound if i noticed it) and i don't know if i will fins the time to post anything else. We shall see.

[link]

Is an example of what the CD involves. To put that in context, that's only the middle of the booklet that comes with the Cd- ive still got to finish the inside of the casing, the outside of the booklet, the painting of the Cd itself, the hinge mechanism, and the artwork at the back of the Cd.

I don't know what posessed me to choose a Cd, but ill be damned if i give up and let this fail as spectacularly as last year's summer art project. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9561159/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9561159/ Tue, 01 Aug 2006 01:52:39 PDT
In other news, i got another film processed. And got annoyed at it. Again. It was alright, i suppose, but some of them came out really blurry. I didnt forsee that, and that was annoying. I can understand why some of them did it, but the rest??

It didnt help that the lovley, lovley, helpful people at the shop felt the need to write "Out of focus?" On my order form. Yes, i gathered that. Yes, this is my second roll. I know.

It just annoyed me a little..

But i do like more than 5 this time around! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9549490/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9549490/ Mon, 31 Jul 2006 02:01:35 PDT

Originally, there was this: [link]

I mustve looked really weird, leaning over a workbench with the hugest powersaw trying to makes tiny indents into a particularly small peice of plastic, or sawing tiny semi-circles.
After around five hours of sawing (Almost sawing my finger off in the process) i had all my peices, and all was good. (I may have laughed in an evil genious way here, i can't remember)

Today i attempted to stick it all together, and i tell you, the worst feeling in the world is that when you realise that youre finger is stuck to the plastic, you retaliate in shock by pulling youre hand away, and you leave half your skin behind..

I advise against the use of strong superglue.

Other than the superglue incident, it's going really well, and i'm determined to get this finished, for it not to fail so spectacularly as the summer project last year did...
I'm running around cawing "It's alliiiiive! It liiiives!" In my best frankinstein voice.

And.. free sketches! (Nicked from [link])

Only difference here is, i'm willing to produce a painting rather than a sketch because i feel like painting things, and i m better at painting than sketching. I promise to get these done, but as to when could be debatable once school re-starts..

Lets just make it anyone who wants me to paint for them!

And, im not making anyone else do this, cos that's mean. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9415523/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9415523/ Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:19:22 PDT
We mesured the heat in the shade at my friend's house today, and it was a stupid 35 C.

That's bloody hot.

And the thing is, it's really, really humid at the moment, and i feel like i've stuck to the floor... ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9299392/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9299392/ Fri, 07 Jul 2006 08:02:26 PDT


Ahhhhhhhg..... I knew that they wern't going to be the best, but i looked at them and now i feel really crap. Latley, ive been really proud of my photography, but then this happened. That and Jessops did something to them, so half of them have a really green hue, and half are really gray and faded... Out of 24 exposures, theres about a maximum of three i like.
I think i knew why i didn't get the effect i wanted, and that as a first roll of film, it's to be expected, but really.. i thought i knew enough about cameras to prevent half of these.

What was i thinking?

Ahhg..

Might post a couple of them. Might scan the negatives to see if the shop messed up the prints.
Wish i couldve processed them... shouldve taken better bloody subjects... *desends into angry muttering*


Oh, and for a few of the photos i like.. go [link] (these are all digital for now) ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9230128/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9230128/ Fri, 30 Jun 2006 09:26:00 PDT The only minor problem.. the amount of work we have to do over the summer..

I know, i know, it's neccesary for the courses, and it'll give me something to do.. but theres just a lot of it!
I have:

10 hours worth of sheets, essays and research work for Spanish, including a presentation to be given to the class at the beginning of term;
A log/diary of interesting scientific issues that come up in the news, or on tv programs, to be dated and a small paragraph written about each (A minimum of 20 to be logged down) and handed in first lesson back for Science and the Media (A subject that we had to take..);
A sculpture project for art, and this thing's supposed to be pretty big! I'm recreating a Cd and case, and it's going to be about as long as my arm, all fully painted and constructed nicley;
A book to read and questions, along with a poster presentation on a topic of choice for Maths;

And i don't know my Russian work yet, because the teacher wasn't here today, because he was in France. (Alright for some!)

Aaaaaaack.... ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9219030/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9219030/ Thu, 29 Jun 2006 08:58:46 PDT
It's going to be hilarious.. 3 of my closest freinds and i are going by train up to Birmingham for an hour, then east to Coventry.. and the thing is.. were going to be on the train home at about 1 am in the morning.. so things could go a little hyper.. or we fall asleep and miss our stop..

I would take the film camera ... but.. gigs.. indoors.. micalaneous liquid chucked in beer bottles.. i think mum would kill me if i took that.

I will have my digital one, and ill se what i can do about photos!

Im also getting the ilford film processed next week- so well see about photos from that too! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9113169/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9113169/ Mon, 19 Jun 2006 07:51:01 PDT
I'm.. happy. Life has suddenly gotten very good, and i can honestly say i like being me. I feel a little depressed today, but im going to blame that on the fact that it's acting like november out there rather than june.
I don't know if i want to post up any of the recent drawings ive done. However, i think i might post some photographs as requested once the films been processed, depending on the quality of them...

Ive changed. The art is something different to me now. Before it was.. i was jumping on every bandwagon that came around the corner. Unfortunatly everything im proud of is at school, so i can't look at it.. I'l see. I might post more things depending on if i create anything over the summer. I probably will be drawing.

Hmm.. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9084458/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/9084458/ Fri, 16 Jun 2006 06:59:01 PDT

Photography has long been a huge interest for me, since mum told me about her exploits with her brothers- and their converting the kitchen into a darkroom occasionally. I'd love to have some time to learn about film, and i think i've given myself this oppertunity by finding the camera. We also have an old macro lens and a zoom one, and i'm all exited about what i could do!

I'm limited to 24 shots on this film, so until i have some time and something interesting to take photos of- im going to put it somewhere out of the way lest i give up on revision and run around with a camera instead. Which is what i do anyway with my digital... In the past year i've had it i've taken over 2000 photos with it...

And unfortunatly our kitchen is incredibly unsuitable for conversion into my darkroom- nor do i have the faintest idea of how to develop film!

But- if i do manage to get some shots, i might post them.
Also, would anyone be interested to see any of the other photos i've taken? I promise to resize them if i did post them. I've got some interesting architectual shots of my school's accidental trip to cambridge.. and a nice one of a waterfall.. and.. and...

(I won't talk about anything other than photography for the next few days. I can tell...) ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8697812/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8697812/ Sun, 07 May 2006 06:36:14 PDT
I like the fact that the school only gave us 4 days study leave this year.. then, in 3 weeks im done. Im free. I dont have to wear uniform any more!

It's odd, cos all through the years of school youre told about the GCSEs, but i never thought id get there. They would always be a goal in the future to worry about when i got there. They crept up on me. I start tommorow.

And im surprisingly calm about this!

There might be more art afterwards, but i dont know how much. Im going through a painting stage and i need to sort out a decent place to photograph anything. Ive got a lovley idea going on that's going to turn into a dyptych, if i can get some more of the right size canvas board.

In other unrelated news, i saw another Zep tribute band on friday, raising the tribute band count to 2. And im seeing a tribute to Queen this saturday.. After the GCSEs im seeing the Chillies, and if and when the Raconteurs do non festival gigs this year im going. I missed out on their first ever show because of the art exam.

Ive knocked around with ideas for displaying the amount of bands ive seen.. which would be cool.

I might dissapear for a while, ive got nothing else to say and nothing else to do until after the exams, ive told myself to leave the art well alone until afterwards now.

See ya! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8628776/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8628776/ Sun, 30 Apr 2006 08:33:54 PDT

Ah.. its something to do while the paint dries..


6 weird and unknown facts about me

1. Ive lost count of the times ive dressed up as Jack White. (Mustache and all) Then told that i am actually quite good looking as a man by Sarah. (This worries me.)

2. I memorise song words WAY too easily.. i mean, if ive listened to the song about three times, i can usually sing half of it. Im finding this quite uselfull for my language exams!

3. I couldnt possibly give a favourite song. I have so many, id be there for hours, categorising. Im obsessed with music. Ask any of my friends. They will probably be able to recount a time of me ranting to someone about something music related..

4. I have irrational fears of worms and needles. Ive no idea about the worms one, all i know is that ive had it since i was tiny and feel very nauseous if made to look at worms for ages.

5. I have an irrational fear of dogs. I thought this had gone, but i was close to tears when a dog started barking really loudly close to me. I wish this fear would go away.. and at least i know where it comes from.. (Long story)

6. I air drum. I can't help it, but i memorise drumbeats, and sit there tapping, or air-drumming and thumping my feat along to the bass drum..
I've been given odd looks for this..


Im not in a typing mood today.. if you hant guessed..

Just like that one. I don't know what it is. Possibly too much sugar.

It all boils down to the fact that i'm still having bad, bad, evil thoughts of spending too much money. I'm still ranting about gerbils a week on, although now i've accepted that i may not have the room, or the will power to give up loud music in my room, the debate still continues. It will probably continue to skirmish until i enter sixth-form, and by then i'll be up to my chin in shiny new heavy text books and sketch books- all at my expense knowing how stingy the school is. I'm also pining over art supplies. It didnt help that in the exam just about everyone had bought canvases. I had a huuuge mdf board. I want a canvaaaas! I'm curious about how easy they are to work on, and when i can get one and set it up and guard it like an obsessed teen- luckily, seeing as i am one.

And then i remind myself that my beloved black pencil is on it's last legs, or leads, seeing as the lead has split into tiny fractions making it impossible to sharpen without getting fustrated. So it's not exactly beloved, more like bloody tempremental..

And then the white acrylic... I do not have any of worth. I got some cheep stuff that dries really brittle- cracks, has a horrible texture and does not adhere to paper or board at all, and crusts off. It also smells awful- most acrylic does not, this stuff is repulsive. So i am on the hunt for The Decent White Acrylic. Meaning more money.

Again- artistic furstartion. Or even fustration. And dang-nammit, i cannot spell. I got all depressed over the pretty sketchs i saw last night and gave up when my grand idea for a sketch did not turn out as planned. I am suited to a different style of art- the like of which is a new A3 piece. I'm proud of that- and would like to continue in that direction, form my own style, but then i get the childish urge to try and be like everyone else, and get upset that it did not turn out well. I've proven to myself that it doesn;'t work. I still turn around and try anyway. I'm my own worst enemy.

I think.. this a detached form of procrastination. I have the nagging feeling that i've forgotten to do something, probably my french coursework. Mabey it's the fact that this top does not fit me, and appears to be cutting off the blood supply to my arms because the sleeve openings are too small.
My guitar is out of tune, my room becons to be forcefully tidied. And i need to go find a top that fits me without asphyxiation.

ESTOMAGO! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8244188/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8244188/ Thu, 23 Mar 2006 08:50:27 PST
It being the final piece. Yeh. I want to paint/draw other things, but my hand has dies from the 4 weeks prep time and i have a lot of other things to do. And my mind isnt working.

Now normally, i can get on with work, but seeing as i'm quite fond of the little fuzzballs anyway, i had a look. I peered at pictures. I smiled at one that looked exactly like the cutest little thing i've ever owned- James.

And now... I'm considering getting rid of the television in my room (It leaves a nice big space) and going out and spending all my money on a gerbil tank.

Then persuading people that it would indeed be my responsability, and i would clean the cage every Saturday or Sunday (When i last owned gerbs, i was very young, and the cleaning tasks fell to mum. I intend to change this) and i would have 3 cute little things. And i would name them...

Y'see, i'm off. I probably earn enough money to care for them entirely on my own, and buy everything they need, but it will take time. It's a shame we didnt keep the cage from last time round, but that brings back painful memories of both gerbs getting cancer and blood specks appering on the cage near the end. We think they were very inbred, poor things.

The only problem in my grand scheme, is the fact that my exams are coming up within the next months, my art one being next week, and i'm saving up to go see bands en concert. It isnt good. I'm torn between a future, good times, or pets. Arrrgh.

It would be ideal to try this in the summer, but i don't know if i can wait 'till then!!

A question for the LFB, would the gerbs be too noisy at night in my room? They lived downstairs before.. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8062980/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8062980/ Sat, 04 Mar 2006 07:47:33 PST

I really cant do the whole steady hand when dealing with full cups thing. At all.

The good new is, ive not done well over half of a sketchbook for my exam piece, ive had to buy another to draw in 'cos im probably going to run out.

My freinds dawdle a lot. When out of school they wait for ages on end, so i get home half an hour after we break up. I live 10 minuites away.
However, another freind recently reported about some absolute little yr 8 terrors giving her an unprecidented veiw of their skinny, pimply, unatractive buttocks the other day on the way home.
From what happened today, im guessing it was the same motley couple.

These two Year 8's, (about 12, 13 years old) gave me and my freinds a nice veiw of their middle fingers on the way home, just because they hate my friend for doing her job. Were prefects, we have to do our job of telling them off, telling them to tuck their shirts in, and all that. We have to. We dont find it in the least bit interesting, but we do it anyway.

When bored of our blank, bored, unintereted looks, they started to chuck a rather large stick at us. When my freind picked it up, they ran like little cowards. Idiots, but they soon came back to chuck stones at us.

one hit me right in the middle of the head, and now i have a headache. Now the thing is, im not a violent person. Ive not been brought up to be violent, and normally wouldnt get involved in a fight.
The only problem was, the second that stone hit me, i saw red. I was holding a water bottle at the time, and i almost crumpled it completley in my fist. I was all up for going and kicking right in the groin area... I dont normally flip. I'm surprised i didnt hit one of them in the end.
Heck, noone in my family (Ok, apart from Lucy, but im not sure she counts) gets like this. Mabey it just wasnt my day.
The only other time ive ever gotten like this was when a black-belt winded me.

I blame it on Tae Kwon Do.

If i can get their names, im so getting them done for assault. Does getting hit by a stone count? I bloody hope so. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8007989/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/8007989/ Sun, 26 Feb 2006 11:33:32 PST It worked- sorta. I feel a bit better. I think i have a hope. I have the faint tinges of inspiration. I came up with a nice A3 painting.. of an impressionist landscape with odd lighting and well.. pastel-y blue colours.

Shame my exam topic is not "Impressionist Landscapes" instead.. it's "Movement"

Ive got 3 weeks. Stop mucking around- idiot!!



Argh,.. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7997786/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7997786/ Sat, 25 Feb 2006 09:45:02 PST
This is my actual GCSE! This isnt going to plan..

The drawings that ive forced myself into doing today are nothing short of crap, and i feel terrible because of it. Ive gotten to the point with myself, that i know when to give up- the only problem is, i dont have the time to put down the pencil and leave well alone. I can leave it to tommorow, but i cant leave it any longer- or ill fall behind and collapse in a heap. I cant mess this up..

In other news, i spent all my hard-earned (pah!) money on a ticket to go see ze Red Hot Chillie Peppers in July, and i would be so hyped, if it wernt for the bad mood im in. I was exited yesterday..

I have done one piece i'm proud of at least- but it's only one. It took me 3 lessons. I need to pick up the pace, but i just cant!
I feel the horrible sensation of someone jamming a large stick between the spokes of my wheels and i'm about to go flying over the handlebars...

Why me? Why now??? ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7854947/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7854947/ Fri, 10 Feb 2006 10:46:03 PST

In the past few days i've drawn a surreal world dream thing, a constipated cloud, disembodied hands and most recently, a semi-concious woman with two pairs of arms, one pair attached at a disturbing angle, with the worst face ever.

It must be time for a holiday...

I'm also beggining to wonder if i can doodle anything pretty, not just surreal and rather grotesquley distorted women...

Ok, so theres only one woman, but id rather draw pretty things..

At least.. at least it's lineart im proud of.

*Head-to-keyboard-smash*

I want pretty things... ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7778979/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7778979/ Thu, 02 Feb 2006 08:41:18 PST
The game that has been a firm part of my life since i was 4 has ended. (The series, not 5)

It's left me... dissapointed. It wasnt what i expected, and i bit... different to the rest of them.



Why!! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7728907/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7728907/ Sat, 28 Jan 2006 03:23:29 PST
I'm going to town.

Not so bad? Simple bus-ride for 1/4 of an hour, the journey i've taken almost every weekend for the past year...
And besides, i have to buy those acrylics. And the sketchbook(s). (No, really, i do, for once, im not wasting my money on sheer rubbish!)
Ive got the huge final peice for art to get done.. and the sketchbook is in preperation for the art exam but well..

I did have to pick the busiest day of the year.
Y'see, Cheltenham is quite busy. Ever heard of the Cheltenham Gold Cup? (Horse racing...)
Well, it's not the gold cup this weekend (At least, i'm pretty sure it isnt!) but we have races going on. This means that the bus journey will probably take over an hour. (The bus route runs right past the racecourse...)

Not only this, but Cheltenham's football team is going to get thrashed by Newcastle today. This means, town will be packed full to the brim of loud, drunken(Cant trust em!) football fans from the north of the country, along with our local loud, drunken football fans who think they are tougher than the northen lot.

Meaning police, drunken louts, bus stoppages, shops full to bursting..

Darn. And heres me, planning to go and buy art supplies in the middle of it all.
I must be loosing it!

Edit: Things to do: Application form to Lucy
To town.
Montpellier?
Scrapbook for the spanish trip and stuffs.
Haircut? ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7722223/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7722223/ Fri, 27 Jan 2006 11:07:59 PST
GUuuaaaH!

I would be able to finish the skirt if i hadnt managed to blow up the home sewing machine on Wednesday.


Fed up with textiles at the moment. Its not working!!


In other news, i saw "Memoirs of a Geisha" and i love that film immensly. It was gorgeous...

What else... My GCSE's start soon. I say soon, but the only one im getting soon is the Art paper (Arg, no!). Im slowly crumbling under the sheer amount of work i'm getting...

(Essays in French and Spanish, Maths coursework, Tech coursework, ongoing Art coursework, ICT coursework and endless lessons on poetry in English)

Theyre trying to kill me. They really are.

I doubt ill get the time to draw anything remotly personal for a long time- i get the Art exam in two weeks, and ive got a huge final to get done before then, as well as the little touch-ups on the rest of the coursework...

Nuuuuuyyyyeeeeerffff. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7591487/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7591487/ Fri, 13 Jan 2006 10:39:21 PST
I mean, ive always liked the culture, but never really known much about it, but last night i saw a gorgeous documentary about a young girl who really wanted to be a Geisha.
It was loveley, the look on her face when she passed the Maiko exam was really heartwarming.
I waant to see Memoirs of a Geisha...


Ahh, and i want to learn the language! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7579361/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7579361/ Thu, 12 Jan 2006 01:14:06 PST
It did help that i dicovered that at least one shop locally sells Tria markers, something i've craved for since i used them in lessons last year!

On the downside, it was £70 for the advertised set..


My beloved Acrylics are failing me, they just dont want to look nice, so ive latched myself to watercolour pencils.
Keep me away from warm colours, ive almost used the black and red pencils up, and ive had the set, what, a month?

Another plus is, i have inspiration(putting it like that makes it sound like an illness, or condition..), but on the other had, im off school ill and i have a ton of coursework in pretty much all my subjects.

Just wonderful! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7515804/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7515804/ Thu, 05 Jan 2006 09:01:12 PST I wanna take Russian for A-level. It's something to do with languages, the prospect of learning a new one just really gets me all exited.
And Russian is different to anything else ive ever tried, it's got a whole new alphabet and everything!

(I'm one of those people who get's irrationally exited about a new challenge like this, so none of this probably makes any sense.)

And i'm already planning on taking Chienese in the sixth-form too...

And Spanish. And if i could get away with it, French...

I wonder if i'll be able to remember it all, it would be a miracle if i did!

And i wonder if i could get a european keyboard, it would make chatting to people from the Exchange 10 times easier.. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7498059/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7498059/ Tue, 03 Jan 2006 11:04:48 PST 2. Relax with all my work, (Not just art) And learn to not be so precious over it; take the good with the bad
3. Be more confident! Less shy!
4. Ver mi amor. Soon i hope..
5. Actually get things done on time.

Probably more to come.

Hm. Cookie. I need cookie...

Bah. First day of slavery and i already want the holidays back! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7477918/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7477918/ Sun, 01 Jan 2006 11:15:14 PST
Or something like that.

Nah, i'm just angsting over the fact the the scanner is evil, i dislike half of my art, i dont know where i want to go with it, i have GCSE's in...4 months.. (4?!??! Oh noooooo) so baisically, the normal teenage whinings.
Predicatable really..

Heh. I think it's to do with the fact that i simply like too many different styles of art. I try to copy a certain style to see how it would turn out (I suppose very few people dont try to copy a style at one point in their lifetime... it's a learning process.. at least i think so..) and then i go and get confused and the result... dies... because ive tried to merge styles.
I'm too precious about most of it anyway, it has to be dead perfect or i hate it more and more over time.

I must be more possesive than a magpie over shiny things when it comes to my drawings...
Then again. Shiny things. I'm possesive over them too.


..

Does that mean i'm related to magpies?




Oh dear, i'm in such an odd mood.

And school starts on Tuesday!

Save me...

(In retrospect, i'm probably just too tired to think optimism.) ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7466343/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7466343/ Sat, 31 Dec 2005 11:38:04 PST

I'm trying to draw out Tyullan, but the inspiration i had earlier in the week seems to have disspapered and i'm stuck drawing on the worst paper ever And moaning about the inustices of me being terrible at drawing people. But then i sigh and explain to myself, for the seventeenth time this year, it takes practice to get any good.

But that doesnt stop me worring about it. Im so bloody stubborn!

I had a scary thought earlier. I know one-ten in something like 6 languages. SIX??!?!? I didnt think i knew that many!
It seems i do.
English
French
Spanish
Latin(We had to learn it for fractional distillation in science.)
Korean (I used to do tae-kwon-do and we had to know it off by heart.)
I vaguely know Welsh 1-10
I know the symbols for one-10 in fictional language D'ni, as well as the word for 10... (Myst)

Save me now. What is the use of knowing this? Apart from it keeps my busy..
I wonder how many languages ill end up learning..

I've updated the image on Stone Cold [link] , i mentioned it needed it.

Im also uploading some pictures of the Balrog soon, but i dont think it will be finished until the new year, because it's being nicked and marked over the holiday.


And then there's the lovley prospect of the GCSE's and deciding my future. Wonderfull. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7246030/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7246030/ Wed, 07 Dec 2005 10:34:52 PST
She has the annoying habit of not seeing plainly that I Know What I'm Doing, therefore she makes me do an hours worth of usless colour studies...

I'm too exuasted to really do much.. and i killed my hand by pencil so i was in agony for half the exam..

There goes my head. All sense gone.

I'm quite pleased with myself, i was drawing out the lines that go towards my final peice (Almost done.. just the mouth area im not too keen on now, for the lines), when my brother waunders up.
"Zo, can you draw me a Balrog?"
"Are you trying to kill me?" (Have you /seen/ that thing? And he wanted a full sized Balrog-thing.)
"No. Can you draw one? I only want a big one"
"No, i'm supposed to do my art for next Wednesday. Look, my lines are almost done."
"Draw /that/ as a Balrog then."

So i was saddled with the task of drawing myself as a Balrog.

I'm quite pleased with it so far, from the drawing, all sorts of ideas for creatures have sprung up, i'm even finding myself thinking of how they'd look when angry, or when they breath..

Im rambling. My mind has not made any sense today.


Pictures of my Balrog may appear sometime soon, as well as an update on my "Stone Cold" one, because i touched it up a little. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7173778/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7173778/ Tue, 29 Nov 2005 04:34:51 PST It's slowly killing me, not only did i manage to make myself look scarily zombie-samara(ring)-esque with one rendidtion (IM FED UP OF PEOPLE COMPARING ME TO SAMARA! I repeat, i do not crawl out of televisions on a regular basis, nor am i dead. I merely have dark brown hair and a pale complexion in the wrong light. I dont look anything like her! Ive got naturally tanned skin! I like to think i look more healthy than her!!

Aaaanyway, i'm at a loss of what the heck to do for the final peice. Ive pacientley gone through the rest of it, producing colour ideas, coping artists work (Why does my rendition of a Warhol peice result in me looking plain evil? Why??? Why me???), researching and gathering ideas and now i'm stuck. The lines i want wont go the right way, (I suppose if i persevere, i'll get somewhere) and i cant come up with any coherant idea for a background.

At least i have a week to fret.. A week..


I'm probably over-reacting as usuall, but i really want a decent mark as my summer project failed so spectacularly.

Admittedly, i could just give it a break for a couple of days to gather ideas, but im afraid ill forget it if i do that!!

I need to calm down, eat something and possibly paint something to take my mind off it.

Once i have the lines i want however, there should be no stopping me. (Im starting to ramble inconherently again..)

I think i can allow myself a 5 min break. ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7137751/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/7137751/ Fri, 25 Nov 2005 01:24:18 PST Looks like we might be in for the uber-cold winter the weather peoples are warning us about. I don't mind, it's about time we had snow!

Im being worked off my feet. For the week of the 7th, i have to have produced a sketchbook on "Self portrait" For my art exam, learnt 2 presentations off by heart in French and Spanish + Questions in both languages, revised for the rest of my subjects, and survived.

Argh.

Theres something in Copic markers, i came out of class today bouncing, hyper and lightheaded. It's the fumes i tell you!

Dead leaves and the dirty ground, when i know you're not around. Shiny tops and soda pops, when i hear your lips make a sound..

I ended up with some elegant stencil shaped... markings.. on some card, and it should build up the prints mini-portfolio our teachers been hawking at us about.

Finally, it takes slightly less time for me to get something finished!

I'll probably rable about it at a later date, but right now i'mway too tired and i can't get over the fact that i was at least 15 metres away from Jack and Meg.
The atmosphere when they came on stage... was unlike anything you're likley to experiance anywhere else.

I'm giving artsing a break until i have it sorted in my head. I want to grow up with my art a bit. I'm learning how to wave my camera around effectivley too, might have some good ones of spain to show.

I picked up my guitar and rediscovered why i wanted it in the first place. Then the bottom wtring snapped in half this morning, so it's going to have to wait till the weekend 'till i restock on strings.


One day. One day i'll get to a point where im comfortable with my art, myself, but im going through the self-concious teen stage, so when that'l be, ive no idea.

Uninspired, too much work. Ill get there one day. Ill show them.

I'm walking through the door, but theyre expecting more.
I'm choosing which path to go by. There are 2, and in the long run, theres still time to change the road you're on, but for now, choosing that path is the most daunting task ive ever encountered.


Tune back later for more deep, meaningfull ramblings w/ song lyrics, and possibly moaning about why i dont like my writing style.

Even looking through sketches in my DevArt gallery that i liked a month ago, im critisizing myself at every step, wanting them to be more detailed, more mature. I'm growing up, and growing up fast. I never wanted to grow up, as a child i resented the idea, but...
I may be accepting it. I quite like it actually.

I'm slowly being suffocated by the sheer amount of work they want me to do at school..

Soo, 20 random facts about me:

1. I've been in love since i was... 7 or 8 i think?
2. I really do live for live music. My first ever gig was a Led Zep tribute band, and if it was physically possible, id probably give up everything to hop back to the '70's to go see Led Zep in concert.
3. Ever since i found DA, i've wanted a decent mascot chara, but i chuck out an idea after a wwek of having one. I'm hoping my most recent idea sticks!
4. Thinking about it, i have a really complex personality.
5. I'm actually a really sensitive person.
6. I'm allergic to roll-on glitter gel.
7. I have several irrational fears- Worms, dogs, needles, creeping plants and my eyes being infected.
8. My fear of worms ive had since ive been tiny, ive got the dogs one 'cos of my aunts old dog who detested children and almost bit me when i was 3, needles.. uuueergh( I can't explain how much i detest them) Creeping plants seems to have gone.. And i'm forever worried that my eyes will be infected by my contact lenses.
9. I get attached to things really quickly, the internet, my guitar, the idea of being an artist/band member/ textiles designer.
10. I actaully have no idea what to do with my life.
11. Well that's not altogether true, i just don't know what carrear i'd like to persue
12. I appear to be contradicting myself a lot recently..
13. I cannot save money. Ive tried. It burns holes in my pockets.
14. I have very strong veiws on music, whats good or not, and im prepared to fight for my opinion. I need to loosen up!
15. I don't know what sort of state of mind i'm going to end up in when i finally snap and get really, really, unbelivably annoyed. I learnt tae-kwon-do, and i was a perfectionist about it. I don't know what i would throw at someone if i lost it with them. Help!
16. I love languages, and would love to create my own.
17. Ever since i was really little, ive been obsessed with fantasy (Not helped by playing Baldurs gate an awful lot)
18. I procrastinate to the point of distraction.
19. I'm scared of loosing my loved ones.
20. I adore the riff to 'Kashmir' and will listen to it over, and over.. The most ive played a song repeatedly was... 3 hours.

Aaand im not going to tag anyone to be nice. Its hard being on the spot and trying to think up stuff about yourself! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/6764209/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/6764209/ Fri, 14 Oct 2005 07:22:47 PDT I wanted them to be..
That and i almost split them trying to do up the zip. I'mm to biiig!
Meaning, that for the other pair, the waistbands going to undergo a full redesign.

I love my school! We had no water supply today, so i walked round with bright purple hands (Art. Printmaking, no water = huge mess), until Spanish, when we were all called onto the feild and told that we were going home.
Y'see, it's illegal for schools not to have a water supply, so all they could do was send us home.
Ooh, yeah! ]]> ~Zonia http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/6700702/ http://Zonia.deviantart.com/journal/6700702/ Fri, 07 Oct 2005 02:23:55 PDT DM7DragonFyre has a list of all her characters up and it dawned on me that i have quite a few floating round, so it might beinifit me to put them on paper..
