It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Make great art.

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 2, 2012, 12:15 PM

*eitanya l Facebook l Pinterest l Gallery l Etsy shop l Watch Me l Note Me

I've been feeling a little stressed lately. Prototypes and deadlines and changing job situations and a walking baby can do that to you. My husband found this totally amazing commencement speech from Neil Gaiman and it made my day, so I though I would share: [link] love what he says about feeling like you're getting away with something if you're doing what you love. I completely get that feeling, I just forget to enjoy it sometimes. So today I'm resolving to enjoy it.

Thank you to everyone here who has ordered some of my work or been so kind with your comments. You all keep me going!

On that note, if any of my fellow Dragon Age fans would like free digital comic, I have a code for the first issue of The Silent Grove. I already have the whole run so I don't need it.

  Good stuff!  The code is JWPY5HKY, go to Dark Horse Digital to redeem it.  First person to use it please leave a comment here so everyone knows it's taken. (EDIT: TAKEN?)

The code came with my copy of Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker.  Anyone else see it yet?  I was a little underwhelmed.  I wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.  Meh.  Neat little note, though: if you watch the Bioware tour they have on there, you can see some of ~kinbari's plushies sitting around on the desks.

Hope everyone is well!  Remember, make great art.

Oh you'll be fine, there isn't anything you can't do.

*eitanya Jun 2, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

Except a jumping hook-kick. I never could do that.

~SkyShepSR2 Jun 13, 2012 Writer

Me neither...I couldn't jump to save my life, much to my wushu-loving sensei's dismay. XD I can hop like a bunny, though!

*eitanya Jun 13, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

Hey, fellow-martial-artist high five!

Yeah, I imagine that would be a bigger problem in wushu than it was in Shotokan, hehe. I remember thinking, "I'm almost 6 feet tall, when on earth am I going to need to jump to kick someone in the head?"

~SkyShepSR2 Jun 13, 2012 Writer

Oh my, you're tall! Jump-kicking people in the head is more for flash, anyway. ;D I had other people do that in demonstrations, I was just the choreographer/captain. Hehe.

*eitanya Jun 14, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

Yeah, I'm 5'11" so people always ask if I play basketball, lol.

Thankfully my sensei never made a huge deal of my inability to get everything off the ground and rotating in the same direction. Shotokan is many things, but rarely flashy.

~SkyShepSR2 Jun 14, 2012 Writer

I've always wanted to find a good Shotokan dojo, it's a lot more in line with how I fight. I also learned a fair bit of katana from my jack-of-all-trades sensei, so I'd love to pick up kendo/iaido if I can, as well.

Now, my back is messed up enough I can't even bear the thought of trying wushu ever again. XD

*eitanya Jun 14, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

Ah katana, that's one I never learned that I really wanted to. I loved weapons training. Nunchakus were my favorite.

I really want to get back into some kind of martial art. The Fibromyalgia made me quit but I never lost the bug.
