Back from Paris - it was fantastic! *u* (expect...
I also bought tickets to see Versailles in London at the O2 arena! (kinda scary because I've never been to anything at all like this before...)
Oh, and I also got an interview for the only uni I've applied to - which is lucky! ^^'''''
Oh, and the first thing I did *after sleeping* when I got back from Paris was watch the last 8 episodes of Rose of Versailles.
OMFG - I cried so much!!! I knew it was going to be bad because of the fact that it's the whole French Revolution and stuff, but I actually thought it was a kid's anime?
André... *sniffle* D':
Anyways, Coronata's Dollheart birthday present arrived, so I'll have fun with that on Friday = P (it really is like having a birthday for myself! XD)
------------------------------------------------------------
EditI'm going to Paris tomorrow... for 5 days, so I shan't be around to answer messages yo.
Also I stupidly managed to get a double in copic ciao markers. I have a spare B93 (Light Crockery Blue) if anybody would like to buy it off me for £2? (would rather not have to post.) I also discovered whilst trying to colour the :dev muraki-no-yami: 1st place contest prize, that my pale pink skin tone has completely snuffed it D: Unfortunately this is essential for colouring Mu-mu sensei, so does anybody know how to buy replacement cartridges? I heard that you can just replace the ink as opposed to having to buy a whole new marker...?
In other news: ZOMG ROSE OF VERSAILLES!!! TT_TT I was sure this was an anime that
wasn't going to make me cry - I would stay strong like Lady Oscar! But it's so painful to see her falter so, and OMFG ANDRÉ!! I've had to stop at episode 28 due to time restraints, but André!!!! *sobs* I've always felt sorry for you but now...!!! *takes Rose of Versailles art book to Paris with her!*

Now that I have finished spamming your inboxes I'll spam them a little further with a new journal finally!
I have a blog: >>
Liara's mostly dollie bloggy <<
As the name suggests it is mostly BJD stuff (a place to upload photo-stories for those without DoA accounts,) but I do also post some sketches there.
My obitsu also arrived.
Obitsu are vinyl dolls. They're pretty much EXACTLY like BJDs aside from the fact that they are not made from resin thus don't have strings, and are a fraction the price. My girl also has soft breasts and butt - so it's great fun to play with her ^_^ (she also fits barbie clothes and so is cheap to buy for.) I'll post a photo of her once I get around to uploading them.
I'm also very poor at the moment because I just bought Coronata his birthday present? I've been waiting for another Dollheart outfit I particularly liked, and then saw this one:
It cost a bundle, but it comes with a CAAAAAAAPE!!! 8D
I also saw Princess and the Frog (it has only recently come out in the UK.)
I loved it! I bought some merchandise as well x3 I think it's very in keeping with the previous Disney princess films - so if you are a fan of classic fairytales like that than you'll like Princess and the Frog. If they aren't your type of film in the first place than...?
The songs perhaps don't compare with some Disney films, but visually the film is breath-taking! I could omnomnom those visuals right up! (them and Naveen mmmmmm)
I am sorry that it has taken me so long to clear my DA messages. I wasn't able to reply to every one, but thank you for all your faves and comments! <3 It really means a lot to me when I see that people like a picture of mine.
I've been away recently because of uni crap ~_~
My animation burnt me out, and then I had to work really hard on my recent Paper Flowers project to prove to my tutor who had doubted that I could pull of unicorns, that I could and that it was going to be awesome. I then had my assessment (which I passed btw,) and stayed up until 3:30am (my bed time is 10-11pm every night >_<,) getting up at 7 blabla basically I didn't have much sleep. I have worked myself to the bone these past two projects and.. I guess I'm not feeling my efforts particularly recognized or appreciated? I stayed up very late very often to finish both my animation, and my final book covers, and really pushed myself to get it done. The tutor I had my assessment with wasn't espeically fond of my final book cover though...
They're also still moaning to me about getting out of my comfort zone. They don't appreciate how much I have hated this whole year because I have been forcing myself to do things I find boring, or difficult.
These past two projects and assessment has completely drained me. I've had 4 1/2 days not at uni to recover, see friends, and come up with my ideas for the next project. The next project
seasonaldragon1,
leannecoleman,
bechahns and I have is an 8 week Final which is what we are then graded on (the previous project have just been pass or referral.)
I have never felt so demotivated =__= I'm not even looking forward to the prospect of becoming an IRL illustrator anymore...
</obligatory uni-related emo-rant>
By the way guys - chibi commissions are always open.
The cheapest would be something like this:
lady-liara.deviantart.com/art/…which would cost just
£2------------------------------------------------------

Liara's wise words of logic: a group of unicorns is called a 'blessing' of unicorns.
