A little update on CheiroDePipoca's artistic life

Tue Jan 27, 2009, 10:12 AM
  • Mood: Pirate
  • Listening to: Bellydancing (tons of cds)
  • Playing: with my wild imagination ARRRR
  • Eating: nop
  • Drinking: nop
I'm back after these "technical problems" a.k.a. my computer is dead plus I've lost a whole HD. That sucks like Hell. My latest photos, everything, they've just vanished in thin air ARRRR :pirate:.
So, on Sunday I bought a new computer. I was really sad because I had copied data to my external HD but I had left another 30 Gbs on that bloody disc that passed away to copy later. Stupid, stupid, stupid me! ARRR :doh:

Anyway, let's focus on the good news and let's stop ranting lol.
After undergoing an awful period of drawer's block I've finally started sketching non-stop. Actually, right now, I'm just giving a break to my muses who have been inspiring me these days in order to write this journal.
Well, let's say that after sketching and working on some bellydancer outfits for random OCs I thought it would be cool to design a specific outfit for Nat, not just any costume. I've been doing some research on gothic, Celtic, tribal bellydancing and I've gotten tons of ideas to start combining.
I've also added some belts, swords, and other things I have at home for Nat's outfit. It was kind of easy to draw thiese new deviations cuz I used some of my own photos as reference. In my old sketch "Midnight Fantasies", I used another of my photos but Nat looks like any ordinary bellydancer. I wanted to "upgrade" her style so as to make her look more like a warrior, a tought bellydancer.

I'm also working on a new logo for Piratess Nat...I've brainstormed a couple of designs so now I have to look for a cool font and other things that I wanna add to her logo. I have many things in mind and I don't know where to start. I'm not planning on uploading the sketches pretty soon cuz I'm still working on some details, jewelry, coins, hip-scarf, hat, weapons.

As for the 30 features, I haven't received many comments so -by the end of the month I guess- I'm gonna post a journal with the DArtists who have left a comment (no matter if they're 2, 5 or 10) lol.

OK, I think that's all. Back to work, I might draw something else now as I think any Pirate Lord would love to have his own personal bellydancer lol.

Ok bloody pirates and cute lasses, I'm off to work now.
Hope to update this journal and my gallery pretty soon.

Fair winds ARRRR
:ahoy:

Oh btw, I want to recommend you to visit the gallery of an amazing artist :icontheblackdrac: who draws the best Captain Barbossa I've ever seen. Check her entire gallery because ALL her deviations are amazing, it's just that I have a soft spot for the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea. Check this one in particular [link] :faint: :love:

Oh no! That sucks that you lost so much... I have a 500GB external hard drive that I have to keep reminding myself to back up - it'd suck if I lost all my art and music and writings and.... Yep, gonna go back it up now. ^^;

But that sounds like a good solution for drawer's block! Keep sketching, and something amazing will come out of it. ^_~

I've had 'techincal problems' too, but mine have been in the form of a crashing laptop.D: And the college computers taking a disagreement with my memory stick and eating my work.
Your concept for the bellydancer costume sounds pretty cool, can't wait to see.

Awww, dude! That sucks. Computers never seem to want to work properly on the moments you need them most. Grrrrrr.

I remember when that happened to my computer, I was furious. And it does suck that all those pictures just up and walked away like that.

Grrrrrrr.

And drawers block? Double grrrrrrr.

:lol:

Ooo. Sounds nifty that you're giving Nat a new look. I wonder what the captains would think about that. Hmm. Tee hee hee.

30 features journal? I must have missed that one. Shame on me! Anyway, good luck with that. I started doing an art jam thing and have only had two participants so far. It's tough in this dA world.

I too have a 500GB external HD and I keep a copy of my most important cds and dvds. For my photos and drawings I generally have 2 cds or dvds (original and backup) and then an extra copy on the ext HD. The HD crash happened before I could copy the last batch of files from my PC :(
There are some things that I can download or find again, but my photos and docs are irreplaceable BOO :(

At least I feel my problem can be useful to you. SO hurry up and get a backup of all your files!!!! Run kaian Run!!!! lol.

"But that sounds like a good solution for drawer's block"
Yup, but the price's been too high :sniff:

:wave: :hug:

My computer hates me. I told my friend that I'm convinced that I'm an 18th C pirate stuck in the present cuz I don't seem to get along with computers. Too modern for a piratess, aye?

Yeah, fortunately I've been sketching a couple of things and I still wanna draw more.

:giggle: hee hee. I think that the Captains won't complain at all ;) I'm pretty sure they're gonna love her new outfit AND her new naughtier attitude :love:

30 features journal, nop you haven't missed them. You're one of the fortunate ones who left a comment so you'll get featured by the end of the month.
Only 2 participants? Boo, hope you get more soon!!!!!!

Hey, haven't seen you online lately on Yahoo. Hope to see you soon, I miss our conversations :hug:

Aw, hey, thanks so much for the feature, you! :glomp: I'm happy you like my Barbossa stuffs. :aww:

That sucks about your compy. In this day and age it's the ultimate nightmare to crash your HD, especially as an artist keeping your stuff there. At least you posted to dA, so those things are safe. Hope your new compy is better to you!

You're welcome. I wanted to add you to my journal to thank you for your amazing gallery that you share with all of us.

Yeah, fortunately I have my paintings on dvd. I lost my new photos. For the time being my computer "works fine" (I couldn't help, I had to quote Jack on the compass thingy :lmao:). In November I lost tons of files and now again. ARRR, my computer is cursed. Too much Barbossa I guess :rofl:

Awwww... *melts* :heart:

:nod: Super. It's so good to back up your files in case shit decides to happen. I'm happy your new compy is doing well.

Oh noes! Too much Barbossa = system overload. O_O Even computers are not safe from the madness!
