Life, Art New Feature

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 8, 2009, 2:56 PM







C'est La Vie

So for the accidental spammage of your inboxes. XD;

So I think I've reached another downer period in life - which is something I should've been expecting after how well things have been going for me for so long. You know, ups and downs and nothing is forever. I used to hate change, but lately I've been welcoming anything to get me out of this crappy pit.

Despite it not being the best of times for me there has been a lot of people, some totally expected and loved, and some I never thought would be there, be there for me. And I think that's something positive anyone can find when they're having hard times. Because you really get to caring about those who stick with you thick and thin. It sounds really corny but it IS true.



Arrrrt

I apologize for not posting much lately. XD I'm in AP Studio Art, however, and I've been experimenting and playing around with EPIC TRADITIONAL STUFF. I swear, traditional art is therapeutic. <3333 I love digital as my main media - other than pencil - and will continue to have that be my main media but I recommend just sitting down patiently one day and whipping out something with colored pencils or charcoal. :] It's a lot of fun getting your hands dirty and just letting loose. I can't post any of these until the end of the school year and once I've gotten AP scores and whatnot, but I assure you I am still plenty artistically active and still very active here on dA.

When I manage to get some free time, I'll post what I can. If not...well if anyone expresses some interest I'd be willing to post sketch dumps for you all too. I'd like to think I'm still slowly improving lol, but we'll see.


New Featured Artist

Unfortunately, I cannot let Sugar stay up there for the rest of her days - although I personally don't mind staring at her sexy pictures, I felt it time to pull someone else up. So, as a reminder, ~sugarbunny44 was the incredible feature last time, please go give her love even now because she's awesome and the new feature issssssss

Drum roll please. 8|

~Melonirulz <333333





So this lady started watching me recently and I have to say, other than her pictures I know absolutely nothing about her. And this excites me because usually I feature those who I'm somewhat acquainted with.

Anyways, it is obvious as you can see, that she is an equestrian photographer and a good one at that. I have to say, recently, I've been hungering after action shots. Of all medias shapes and forms. I think they're incredible to look at, I think it's skillful of those who can capture them, and I take great enjoyment hunting them down and finding them. I think Melon here does that brilliantly. She captures awesome show jumping shots from pleasing angles and gets the animals and their riders in mid-motion. Now, I know some people have great skill at photography - but I have personally tried to photograph show jumping before and it is freakin HARD. The timing you need to get right, the angle you need to get right - it goes on and on and on.

In any case, she has other beautiful photos with those show jumping ones and honestly, if you have any interest in photography - horses especially - you will not be disappointed diving into her gallery. :]

This is digital mastery. If I could make things this pretty I don't think I'd ever get off Photoshop. I mean it. Incredible artist.
