Roleplay?

2 min read
Yo yo
So much has changed! I live on tumblr now ( liarakcrane.tumblr.com )
However I am seeking out more people to RP with over Skype. I live and breath RPing but over the years people have either grown out of it or life has caught up with them. I RP open low fantasy rather than any particular fandom or series so it's pretty free-for-all. My skype is liarakon if y'all interetsed and want to send me an IM

update 13

12 min read
TL;DR:
- I am back for the summer! But then in October I'm going to Japan for 3 months YEAH IKR?? EEEEE >w<
- A huge thank you for all the new faves and even watches during my absence. There is a feature for my newest 10 watches at the bottom of this journal!
- If you think I owe you art and it's not here:lady-liara.deviantart.com/jour… shout box) let me know!
- I now have an artwork tumblr! liarakcrane.tumblr.com/
- I now have artwork on display in a zoo and the childrens book I made as a teaching tool for them may be published for sale! *fingers crossed*


So yes - Japan! It's kind of my dream to go and study in Japan, and I have also always wanted to go to Hokkaido (I have been to Japan on holiday before but we didn't go that far up.) It is with my university, and as there is only one place for the exchange I was very lucky to get it *_*


Three months


in Japan




It still doesn't feel real. There is a lot of organisation that still needs to happen, but because I am now back home it all has to be done over email which means that it is taking FOREVER TAT
As it will be winter, and winter is waistcoat-season for me, I shall make it my mission to go around Japan looking as stereotypically romanticisedly British as possible <3

I am sorry that my hiatus was so prolonged, I had an incredibly large amount of freelance work which of course is wonderful and good, however this past year has been so stressful. It has made me decide that I never want to do freelance full-time. I need a regular shop-job or something to keep me sane. You see - if I work particularly hard in my job (I work in an art and craft shop) then I am tidying up lots, running around for customers, going through orders quickly etc. If I work particularly hard on freelance illustration work then I am sitting for longer than I would like at my computer working, or at a desk hunched over with an aching neck or back. I had to pull so many all-nighters over the course of the academic year just to get work done on time - I even had to keep missing the only extra curricular club thing I did (except pole, but that doesn't count P: )
Pretty sucky, but now that it is largely all finished I can lie back and relax TuT If you go to Marwell wildlife in Hampshire, England then you can see a bunch of penguins I drew around the new exhibit. I hope they publish my book for sale also : D The pirate website will hopefully be up soon too.

I have 50 images to post, so there is lots of look forward to, including cosplays, doll photos and photos of cake! Aside from photos the majority of the work I will be posting is university-related because I've had no time to do anything else x3
Also, to those who are recent watchers of mine I do have a request line-up thing:

Check it out yo!

I've nothing else to update upon apart from that I now have an obitsu named Mimi mark 2, I've tweaked my journal a bit and updated that top image and I fulfilled my childhood dream and went to see The Lion King in London last night *_* Simply breathtaking.

Features
In thanks for all the faves and watches I have received during my absence I would like to feature my last 10 watchers <3

Sup dawgs~
I should perhaps have updated this earlier - but I'm at university now! Yay! I moved in a week ago and it has been awesome so far. Flat is awesome, flat mates are awesome, everybody in my course seems really nice, and today I made a fox thing that runs an illegal meat farm!


'Sir Victor Vicious is a fox masquerading as a well respected aristocrat and envied member of high society - however he secretly runs an illegal meat farm in a warehouse somewhere along the dockside (the illegal meat is children.)' Or something along those lines. I may post this in my gallery at some point.

BUT THAT BRINGS ME ONTO MY NEXT POINT
:star: SHORT HIATUS TIME! :star:
Yeah I know - I'm doing that irritating thing where somebody goes to university and then is 'too busy' to be very active on DA anymore. Damn those people annoy me! However I have sort of stumbled into this illustration job (as long as everything goes according to plan!) with this PIRATE CLOTHING STORE. YES I KID YE NOT. But basically as far as I gather it involves digitally painting photo realistic ships doing battle (and some other stuff.) And then I have 2 commissions for people on DA, and I have a childrens book to illustrate for my mum for the zoo (but as a professional illustrator hurhur) AND uni work - and I joined the Plymouth Pirates society and the POLE DANCING SOCIETY and an RPG society. Hurrr. But yeah - because I've ended up with a stupidly large work load, and it's really serious stuff involving contracts, I have to take a break from DA. Soz P:

Anyway - I will still check my group messages (although not commenting on stuff for a while I'm afraid,) and also my notes - so if you need to get hold of me just send me a note. I also have MSN so you can note me for it if you're feeling deprived of my inane babbling <3

Tatty bye!

By far the best reason to change to beta testing temporarily~


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow! Another update oh em geee!
Does anybody know of any good Speckett clubs? (Jack Sparrow/Cutler Beckett) Or in fact... any at all?
Or am I calling it the wrong thing? =S I generally don't like unfounded slash, but I have a weak spot for this pairing (it'sevensortofcanonsortof!)
I couldn't even find that much on just a general 'sparrow beckett' search D: Is the fanbase for this pairing THAT small?
because I'M SORRY BUT THERE IS A SPARROW/NORRINGTON CLUB BUT NOT A SPARROW/BECKETT CLUB?! D: <
WHATISTHISIDON'TEVEN

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uaah so long time no update eh?
My dolls arrived and are so cute *_* I will post their box opening soon, but for now I have my Disney photos to throw at you! 8D
WE MET FLYNN 8D (we also saw Rapunzel and she was SOOO pretty *u* )
Just click on the photo below to go to my blog post with AAALLL my photos (there sure are a lot!)
We met Cruella and Buzz, and saw loads of the other characters 8D
wheeeeeeeeeeeeee~!


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUESS WHO RECEIVED A SHIPPING NOTICE THIS MORNING FFFFF
:iconcryforeverplz:
MY GIRLS ARE ON THEIR WAY


Also we went to Disney - it was aweosme ^_^ I'll try and do soemthing about photos at some... point P:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a quick update to say how I am going to Disney yo BD


(Macarius and Rhoda are coming with us)
See you in a few days! :la:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I have things I am supposed to be writing about but instead I will mention how it is almost my birthday!! ;u; (15th May yo!)
Yey! I am very excited because it's a sunday at work (sundays are fun) and then THWT is coming round, AND it's the family birthday thing the same day 8D EEEE

Also I finally ordered my Suntan Paran twins! dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?nu…
:iconcryforeverplz: 11 months now I have been trying to save up for them. Things like paying my mum back £500 somewhat delayed it. I don't think I have ever made such a large purchase in my life trololol

Other than that I promise I will submit some real art soon and also go through my messages P:



Chow!

Liara's wise words of logic: Winsor & Newton masking fluid is generally thinner and better than Daler & Rowney. Also rub your brush on a bar of soap before using the masking fluid and it will save you a whole lot of grief!

So I am finally posting up my photos from the anime convention I go to every year 8D
Gogo-gadget-photospam!!!



Friday

THWT, Rainbow--Ferret and I went to pizza hut for a mega awesome brunch before the con.


Rainbow--Ferret was already in her Lightening cosplay.


Watcha reading there THWT? >3>
(photos belongs to Rainbow--Ferret)


Friday night is always party night!




this is what the Minami twister always looks like. 4 mats tapes together and a huge bundle of crazy with a few dead, forgotten people at the bottom <3


>>www.youtube.com/watch?v=omN1Vu…<<


there was an unusually large number of crossplayers/dressers at this year's Minami~


our lovely Llrael
(photo belongs to THWT)






(photo belongs to THWT)


there is also quite a lot of shoujo-ai fanservice in these photos x3


We're like demented moths disguised as japanese school girls.






Sensei and Dr Elliot Reed were hosting the variety show~
They weren't as good as the usual guy, but I'll give them credit for stepping in for him.


Shuffle girls with awesome ears!


because it was Comic Relief that night this crazy guy was hanging around. Ho yes~


Vampire Knight?


I think this was Hetalia P: I was surprised that there weren't more.




Ouran cosplay~
(with THWT's new boyfriend lurking above them in the background~)


(photo belongs to Pouncy)


I LOVED this loli Jigsaw 8'D
(I love lolita versions of things)


(photo belongs to THWT)

Sadly the jpop disco only happened after we left? :/ Very annoying as it is one of highlights of the con for me *huff*


Saturday

aah the trio of awesome~
sadly Llrael was around with other friends so we didn't get to hang out with her that much ):

Photoshoot time!

   


(photos belongs to Silver-Photos)
These photos are all big and pretty here:

Live action version of this sort of: lady-liara.deviantart.com/art/…




'It starts like THIS!'

(photo belongs to Rainbow--Ferret)

hurhurhursword


Bento Dan








Silver-Photos has some awesome photos of this Alucard on her flickr here: www.flickr.com/photos/silverit…


(photo belongs to ggeudraco)


the usual guy hosting the masquerade wasn't there either. In his place stepped THAT MAN. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL2XOx… - they are avenging the death of That Man)
Anyway - That Man made my day! He was absolutely fantastic and awesome and I wuv him! *creeps*
(photo belongs to Bento Dan)


Colonel Sanders pitched his idea for a new anime: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDsgms…


at the end of the masquerade That Man was being all disheartened about all people getting together, and how he had nobody to call his own.
then That Woman appeared. Nuff said.


after that he hosted the auction! *u*
it's always fun to laugh at how much people pay for the most ridiculous items. This SEPHIROTH EAU DE TOILET was by far the most epic thing ever ever... (ever)
It didn't actually go for as much as we expected and the person who won it was the Gluttony from earlier on in his journal! Trolololol


this was Saturday night when I took my wig off, and this is why I am buying anew wig kthnx

Sunday











the fucking sexy bitch that is THWT *_*


my legs were all battered up from catching them on the top of Holly's temporary cage =n=




usually there is an official con dollmeet, however for some reaosn it wasn't on this year P:
we brought them anyway <3 So here is my Coronata and Rainbow--Ferret's Zack~


moar ghey
(photo belongs to Rainbow--Ferret)

(photo belongs to Rainbow--Ferret)


(photo belongs to THWT)


THWT looks decidedly dazed
(photo belongs to THWT)


(photo belongs to THWT)

AND THAT'S IT!
Wow you made it through the whole journal - bravo!
All in all great fun was had ^_^ I did not find any Utena or Muraki booty, but I did meet loads of great people.
I'll be going to Ayacon 2011 so if you're going look out for us there ^_~ (we'll most likely be looking lost and bewildered)

Thanks to everybody who's photos I have used! If I have mis/uncredited anybody just give me a shout and I'll amend it!
Until Minami 18~

Liara's wise words of logic: is your cosplay involves a wig, it is really a very good idea to invest a couple of quid into a wig cap. They make everything a lot easier.
