"Not everything is about you," Clary said furiously. "Possibly," Jace said, "but you do have to admit that the majority of things are."

[fan art] Clary and Jace

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 by Kiyu

clarynjace

“One of the Silent Brothers is here to see you. Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually he offered to wake you himself, but since it’s 5 a.m., I figured you’d be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.”
“Meaning you?”
“What else?”

After laughing in amusement and gasping in anguish during the adventures of the Mortal Instruments books, I figured I owed the author some fan art for not disappointing. So here it is, a sketch of Clary and Jace, a pairing which brought much joy and pain to me as a reader. Joy because their relationship is so raw and dear, pain because — well, you’ll just have to read it. Clary is an artist who describes herself as ‘cute’, but swearing to jeans and sweaters didn’t exactly make her very feminine. I decided I’d let Isabelle fix her up again before I started drawing her (how can I possibly resist the temptation to make Clary all girly and pretty when she’s got wonderfully red and curly hair!) – note her embarrassed expression.

Jace is his usual sexy, confident and sarcastic self (but good-natured), though how I managed to make him look hot with those stupid, golden curls of his, is a mystery. I even put on the faint white lines of inactive, faded runes on his chest – can you tell? I put some active ones on both of them as well, and I dressed them up in shadowhunter gear! Or at least my version of it. Jace decided – much to our joy – that he didn’t need the black top underneath, the coat alone was sufficient, hurr hurr.

Lutten’s complaining about the design of the stele. Shaddap, that’s how I imagined it while reading! (And the seraph blades look even duller in my imagination when inactive, hehe)

I quite like this sketch, perhaps I should give it a go?

Sketchdump

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 by Kiyu

I’m dumping them on you because my sketches are just lying around being useless. I don’t have the motivation to CG them. Where is my creativity? Who stole it! Return it to me so I can finish what I started!

Mental note to myself: remember to draw something Harry Potter.

Disney concert

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 by Kiyu

“Since you’re so into Disney and know all about it, won’t you be the hostess for the Disney concerts?” my singing teacher asked me weeks ago when I was about to leave the room.
“Sure,” I agreed with a grin widening across my face, while thinking silently to myself that I just got myself committed to yet another concert. I was already semi-committed to it, because I was going to sing on it aswell. But I could always fake a sickness or something, one artist less wouldn’t hurt them. But now that I had accepted being the hostess, I couldn’t just pretend like I just broke my leg. No, I had to go.
So I went down town pretty early yesterday to talk about the concert because Camilla, my teacher, wanted me there early. The whole day was a challenge to me, because I once again hadn’t gotten any sleep for the night. By the time that I knocked on the concert door, I had already been awake for 28 hours straight.
But you know, I am a weird creature. As long as I’m not forced to sit still for a longer period of time, I can still bounce around as if I just had my biological batteries recharged.
You know how hosts/hostesses on small, local concerts usually just say the title of the song and the artist’s name when they’re presenting a new performer? That is so plain and boring. I swore to myself that I wouldn’t be one of those. Zettai!
And so I would always spend the few minutes during all the different performers trying to come up wth some witty comments, because as the hostess I would be talking a lot. I would usually play on the lyrics of the song or the movie it origined from. I didn’t have time to prepare anything, so I just relied on my (non)witty gut and hoped for the best. Luckily for me, people seemed to like it. The crowd was awesome, and I couldn’t help but really enjoy myself during the whole concert. People seemed to be having a great time, and I saw at least 2-3 reflex cameras snapping pictures every ten seconds. I don’t have any pictures myself, sorry. If I knew this was going to be such a huge success, I would have brought my camera along and get someone to snap pictures as I was very busy myself.
Oh well, I hope you had a great time, Lutten! See, it wasn’t THAT bad, eh? :D

I decided to go back to blonde. My black roots were starting to dominate my head, it was about time I did something. I was originally going to dye it back to black, just to see how it would look after two years non stop with bleaching and dying. I know mom would’ve been happy if I went back to black. She says she’s going to scalp me someday if I keep dying/bleaching my hair in such ‘crazy’ colors. xD
I kind of feel like Mulan in a way; rebellious, daring, strong-minded (or just plain stubborn if you prefer). We’re both going against the flow, both trying to break free from the Asian norms, both wanting to be good girls so that our parents will not be put in shame. But at the same time we want to be able to do what we desire. It’s a complicated harmony to uphold.

Don’t get fooled by the length of my hair. It’s short short short in the back. (But yes, it’s very long in the front) If you look close enough, you might be able to see my blue eyes~
Oh well, it’s time for the doodle of the day:

Listening to: Ikimonogakari – Blue Bird (newest Naruto Shippuden OP. It’s really catchy!)

The day of an artist

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 by Kiyu

Det rislet i det syntetiske stoffet som omga dun- og bomullsputene. Et bustete halvsort og brunt hode lå dandert midt i haugen av diverse oransje nyanser. Uttrykket var fjernt og omtåket, og kroppstillingen minte mest om en reke. Velourdyna som ellers fulgte kroppslinjene hadde delvis glidd av, og et par bleke ben som sårt trengte til litt farge lå til skue for alle som skulle finne på å stikke nesa innom.
Døra stod på gløtt, og hittil var det ingen som hadde kommet for å forstyrre freden som hersket i det lille avlukket fra resten av verdenen. Men som alt annet kunne heller ikke dette vare i lengden. Tredøra ble dyttet varsomt en halvmeter innover det flisbelagte gulvet, og et sort hode stakk inn.
“Du må stå opp, det er bare en halvtime igjen til gudstjenesten!”
What the hell. Jeg hadde da ikke hørt om noen gudstjeneste. Jeg vred meg uendelig sakte rundt og mumlet noe i retning; “Ugh. Det er da ikke gudstjenest..”
Men før jeg hadde fått vrøvlet ferdig setningen mens jeg lå der med halvlukkede øyne, hadde han allerede trampet tilbake opp trappa mens han mumlet irritert for seg selv. Jeg var ganske sikker på at det hadde noe med sovevanene mine å gjøre.

Ikke akkurat den beste lørdagsmorgenen jeg har hatt, men formiddagen var desidert en av de bedre. Jeg måtte utsette avtalen med Britt, men jeg hadde tid til den med Rolf og Maisen, så jeg dro ned til byen for å ta en ikke akkurat sunn frokost med de. Pommes frites, woohoo! \o

På vei tilbake til Rolf og Maisen dro vi innom Hobbysenteret for at jeg skulle kjøpe meg et lerret, og der traff vi på Roman Scott, en kunstner fra New York som nå har bosatt seg her i byen. Og som selvfølgelig er en gammel venn av Rolf. Rolf og alle kontaktene hans, altså! :D
Alle fire av oss dro på to kunstutstillinger her i byen, og jeg må si at det egentlig er riktig så spennende. Vi ble invitert med til en utstilling av gruppen til Roman på onsdag, og siden han la merke til alt malerutstyret jeg hadde kjøpt, og Rolf som i tillegg stod og skrøt av meg mer enn han strengt talt trengte, sa han at jeg kunne komme og male med de på utstillingen. Ikke at jeg tør. Men vi skal nå bort og kikke uansett. Og så er det jo så koselig med noen vi kjenner. Jeg har virkelig sansen for kreative folk. Både litterære og visuelle!
Jeg gjorde et virkelig kupp på lørdag. Fem tuber System3 akrylmaling, 40x40cm lerret, plastpalett og pensel til kun 130kr! HOLY CROW. Det skal jeg love deg er et kupp.

Guess what. I now have Romeo and Juliet in my possession. Jeg skulle plukke den opp hos Rolf og Maisen fordi jeg hadde snakket med Rolf om at jeg skulle skaffe meg den, og så hadde det vist seg at han hadde et eksemplar og tilbød og låne meg den. Men da jeg skulle ta den imot, dro han den plutselig tilbake før fingrene mine en gang hadde berørt omslaget. Han sa han skulle gi den til meg på én betingelse;
jeg skulle få den til odel og eie.
My mind went nuts. Yes, it really did.

ROMEO:
Is love a tender thing? it is too rough,
Too rude, too boist’rous, and it pricks like thorn.

Akt I, scene IV

Se så negativ Romeo er til kjærlighet rett før ballet. Han virker så kjølig, så reservert. Tenk at denne fyren senere skal pøse ut sin lidenskap som om han aldri hadde opplevd annet enn kjærlighet!

Did my heart love till now? Foresweare it, sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.

Akt I, scene V

Julie må virkelig være noe helt for seg selv til å ha forandret Romeo til den grad.
