Joyeux anniversaire a moi.

It's just one thing after another. I've drawn some stuff, not the best stuff. Expect more later.

Sorry, I know I'm a terrible person. I know I owe a whole bunch of things to certain people...(if you want to comment and say that I owe you something, feel free. I'll create a to-do list and get that done. Please be honest.) Inspiration has literally flown down the drain for me lately. HOWEVER. ~writer212 and I went to FaerieCon over the weekend. That pulled out some inspiration, so we'll see where things turn out. I really want to get back into drawing, since I miss it.

HOWEVER AGAIN, on the same weekend (Sunday) I got my appendix taken out because it hates me. So I've been out of school all week, and have loads of work to make up. I also happened to miss the spring musical auditions for Beauty & the Beast (I would've tried out for Belle, but no worries. I'll just go cry in a corner) AND I'm missing LM week, the best freaking week of school. I'll be back for the rally though. More like, I'll be back even if they have to wheel me in on a stretcher. But whatever.

So we'll see what turns up in terms of art.

I've been on the weirdest rampages, but hey, at least I'm drawing again. So this rampage: my very own Cirque show. I mean, do keep in mind that it is my unattainable dream to produce and direct this show, but it's a little fun project I can do, maybe for some sort of designing thing...I don't really know. It's a drawing project, and I'm designing the costumes, arranging the acts, writing synopses and all together creating the show. No, it's not going to be performed or even sent to Cirque du Soleil, but hey, je peux rêver, n'est-ce pas?

So it's called "Fantaisie" which is make-believe in French. I wanted the title to be in Italian, but the word for make-believe is "fantasia" which is sort of over-used. So Fantaisie it is. Of course, it's subject to change. Here are some other ideas: Sogno (Italian: dream), Somnia (Derived from Latin: dream), Eternia (Derived from Italian: forever), Vivia (Derived from Latin: live), and Dreyma/Draia (Icelandic: dream).

It's about a little boy (or girl, I'm not sure yet, I'll say boy for now) who will be one of the three singers. He is very avoidant and often disappears into his own little dream world, called Fantaisie, or whichever name I choose. The show will start with him obviously discovering this new fantasy world and it will be full of wonder and amazingness. The two other singers will have important parts, but here's my dilemma.

There will be the Sun and the Moon. I want at least one of them to be female, but I can't decide whether it should be two women or a man and a woman.

But anyway, towards the beginning, everything is all happy-go-lucky, and the little boy has a lot of fun. But after/before/during the intermission, something terrible happens in the real world and it affects Fantaisie. So when the boy returns to his dream world, everything has been altered. The costumes change, and there are darker, more dangerous acts that happen. Sun and Moon are never seen on stage with each other, and it is up to the boy to make things right.

So ultimately, the show teaches a lesson about self-discovery and responsibility. I have a lot of it written out, including sketches of costumes and such that I will be posting, and even music scores for lots of different instruments. The problem is, I'm writing the lyrics in Italian, and I don't speak the least bit of it. I've been snatching up cool phrases from WordReference.com... ah well. It should be okay. I know a couple people taking Italian, and my French teacher speaks/teaches it as well.

SO! Comments, repremands, questions, critiques, suggestions. You go for it!

I got a tablet, and Corel Painter for only $50. Too bad I hate my art skills. Inspiration = no. And the internet on my laptop isn't working, so I'm forced to use a computer. The keyboard irritates me.

I'm gonna go fail at drawing now.

Hey guys, this is just me, begging you to help me hatch these eggs......



Give 'em a tap to hatch the eggs!
