orangerful: (what what she do)
I showed the Expanse background I made for my phone to my Mom and she liked it but asked why Bobby wasn't there. The answer is because there don't seem to be any decent full cast photos of this show! But I wanted to make a background for my Mom too, so this is what she got for her iPhone 8 Plus:



Got some lovely comments on IMGUR too LOL. Was not expecting that but I uploaded it to the gallery for giggles and I guess all the Expanse fans are cruising the hashtags or something. Never even thought of that site as a place for social interaction.

Played with my art set last night while sitting in bed and listening to Book of Blood and Shadow. Just doodling, trying to just draw and not think too much.

I drew Lumpy Space Princess :-D omg I'm having so much fun Superhero doodles

This is about my skill level LOL. Still, it was fun to doodle again. :)

I was thinking the other day about how I used to draw all the time as a kid but I stopped around 7th grade because of so many reasons (mostly the "i'm not good enough" excuse). Anyway, I felt like I needed to do something creative in my spare time, just for fun and was thinking of doodling again. I tried looking for sites with drawing prompts and found one on tumblr and then I got my Amazon Vine email and there was a gorgeous Crayola art kit so I nabbed that.

It arrived today, btw, and it is sooooo pretty:


So...what should I doodle?

A doodle. I do doodle. You too. You do doodle too.

So when I bought my Otter Box and screen protector, Amazon had a deal going for a cheap stylus for $5 so I said what the heck! Obviously, this is not the stylus for a fine artist, but it amuses me and my free drawing apps. Here are two crappy drawings I managed to make while goofing off on Thursday night

be gentle! I'm learning! )

Just redid my livejournal layout this weekend - check out the cuteness [livejournal.com profile] orangerful.

I really was having a hard time choosing a single fandom to go with, but then [livejournal.com profile] duncatra posted her new layout and the template made by [livejournal.com profile] grrliz was so easy to customize I decided to just go with the easiest thing (Tangled) and worry about doing more advanced graphics later. Maybe I'll try to change my blog look every few months to keep practicing my graphics editing.

This inspired me to start playing with orangerful.com again. I found some free website templates online so I spent a good chunk of tonight messing with the HTML and trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to do. But I'm already off to a good start! Might even get bear-bones version up and running by tomorrow. I love Kristen Bell, but she's been the "star" of my website for 3 years now. Time to update!

Okay, getting to bed!!!! Got so caught up in coding I didn't realize it was quite so late. :)

Been meaning to change my LJ Header for awhile - R.I.P. Legend of the Seeker, you were a fun two years of TV but we must say goodbye.

Hopefully, the show in my current banner will have better luck! Check it out! [livejournal.com profile] orangerful (totally ripped off inspired by [livejournal.com profile] faeriesfolly style for wallpapers and banners cuz she is awesome).

If you're like "WTF?", it was inspired by this scene from Community:



Actually, watching that clip probably doesn't clear anything up for you. Just know that Alison Brie improvised that, and she is made of awesome. And I think I might have a crush on Donald Glover...

I also posted 9 little Easy A icons to [livejournal.com profile] orangerfulboxes here

and in the category of "not surprised", my Dollhouse season 2 blu-rays I pre-ordered at COMIC CON have still not arrived. Way to go FOX. I'm really craving some Whedon commentary too....

As [livejournal.com profile] lostacanthus suggested, I played ME2 with my camera next to me yesterday. Made it a bit hard to focus on the mission at hand (Kasumi's Stolen Memories) but I got some photos of Shepard in her new fancy dress outfit that she was given for the mission. RAWR.

Commander Griddie Shepard

I've got a few more pics so I can try to make icons. :D

and it's 11pm. I have my last storytime of 2010 tomorrow so I should get some sleep so I'm perky and ready to go for the little ones.
orangerful: (librarian moment // faeriesfolly)
I was talking on Facebook with my liberry friends, and we were discussing when patrons get titles completely wrong (or just sooo close it's hilarious). Then my friend suggest I use my old tumblr blog and list them there. So I deleted all my old posts (I didn't have much there anyway since I never remember that damn thing exists) and turned it into Mangled Titles (at first I called it "Love and Diarrhea", which was the first mangled title I posted, but then I switched it).

Anyhoo, for those of you that work with the public and have to supply items based on what they ask for, feel free to submit any funny stories to me. Or I think there is a way to let other people post on tumblr...I just don't know how to do it haha.

yes, this is what I did today instead of NaNo or anything else (well, I did take my friend to the doctor and then go to Kohls...but after that this is about all I did).
orangerful: (bioshock sisters // orangerful)
AD had this brilliant idea to carve pumpkins this Halloween and not just simple jack-o-lanterns, but hardcore pumpkins. He's still working on his, which will be unveiled later tonight (hopefully) but mine wasn't quite as insane.

I did a scene from Bioshock. Here is the finished, lit pumpkin. Head over to my Flickr page to see the picture I started with and the pattern I made all by myself. :D

Definitely learned a few things that I will look out for next year when it comes to designing a pattern on my own.

if you're not watching my graphic comm [livejournal.com profile] orangerfulboxes, you might want to know that I just posted two Guild wallpapers (well, I know [livejournal.com profile] theoldmelody would want to know!)

We're going over to AD's brother's place for dinner tonight since his mom is visiting from Florida. We're gonna take over the Xbox and show them Beatles Rock Band, which means I will probably come home with photos of my 3 year old nephew banging on the drums. Thank goodness for no-fail mode!

Starbuck thinks she is a tiger today. Caught her trying to climb up the lattice we put on the deck (the lattice AD got specifically to keep them from falling off the deck). I threw water at her to try to get her to climb down but apparently it's just too much fun because she keeps going back for more. I put her little rug outside so they would have something warmer to sit on than concrete and she crawled under it *facepalm*

So I finally uploaded the Star Trek icons I have been working on for the past...oh, 3 weeks? I hadn't realized I had reach 40 total! Now that Sims 3 has me distracted from photoshop, figured I better get these out there before the movie is out of theaters (or better screencaps surface and I have to start all over! LOL!). Minor spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.

EDIT: Yes, I'm an idiot that can't do math after 10pm, I only had 40 icons, not 80 - DUH!

Someone posted really cute pictures of Emma Watson over at [livejournal.com profile] hires_hotties and I am loving one picture in particular. So much so that I made an icon, a banner, and a desktop.

Want to see?

Finally gave the girl some eyes! And I did the most ghetto hair coloring ever - I colored it with a black sharpie. Actually doesn't look too horrible considering the sharpie was out of ink. I might go buy a new one and try again. I have no desire to tear her apart to get her hair out an then sew it back in. I enjoy crafts but not that much haha.

Still need to do her "ass-tat", which will take some skillz since I'm going to try to do the Mini logo...

Put the first coat of paint on my Starbuck pony too, but she's just creepy looking (all flesh tone, all the time) so I didn't take her picture.

bsg icons

Yay, all the icontests from this past week have posted results so I can finally post all the BSG icons I made after the premiere and for the icon challenges. 27 icons total, mostly BSG (except for one lonely Kristen Bell icon).

Big THANK YOU to [livejournal.com profile] phoenixothon for capping (& sharing those caps) "sometimes a great notion".

My Little Pony phase 1
Originally uploaded by orangerful
Our internet went out this morning so I finally painted my first My Little Pony. She turned out really orange! haha! So I'm thinking I'm going to model her after my Mini Cooper.

Next up, I need to raid my mom's paint supply and get some additional colors!

Now, what should I do with the other two? I'm thinking a Starbuck pony maybe in her Viper pilot uniform with the Viper logo on her bum. I could probably handle that.

I know, baby steps!

I have this bad habit of trying to wait until I have a batch of things to post before uploading graphics and then I find out that I've got a huge pile sitting on my computer, waiting to be revealed! I went through my "in progress" folder on my desktop and found a bunch of things that were done/almost done and uploaded them to orangerful.com.

Banners under the cut. 2 Gilmore Girls related wallpapers on the site along with all the classics. If you want to use please upload to your own server and credit me in your user info/profile.

Comments are love.

Thanks!

new layout

OMG that took FOREVER! Like, 4 hours. Mostly because I made two new banners and tried 3 different layouts before I found one that worked and that I was able to modify.

[livejournal.com profile] orangerful [livejournal.com profile] orangerful [livejournal.com profile] orangerful [livejournal.com profile] orangerful [livejournal.com profile] orangerful [livejournal.com profile] orangerful

Yes, Kristen Bell is back. I had a Tina Fey banner but the colors weren't working for me, then I went looking for picture of Felicia Day, but none of them inspired me. And that lead to me double checking kristen-bell online to see if any new images had been uploaded...

Next, I need to make a new default icon to match.

But I'll do that tomorrow

*passes out*

Last Saturday was the DCSWCC November meeting which means time to customize. We took the Vader Helmet trick or treat pails and decorated them.
