It's going to be a long short week.

[thistlechaser]

Two day week tomorrow, but it feels like vacation should be started already, so I suspect Monday and Tuesday will be painful.

I know it will shock and amaze people when I say I don't believe in the zodiac, but I still find this pretty cool. The Signs of the Zodiac, Represented by Disney Princesses. Mine is easily one of the best of them:


Speaking of Disney, I have The Hunchback of Notre Dame queued up and ready to go. I suspect I'll watch it over the long holiday weekend. I'm interested to see if the Frollo/Esmeralda part of the plot will catch my interest as much as it did the first time I saw the movie. Now and again I watch the Hellfire song on youtube and love it every time. I can't wait to see it as part of the movie.

I bought another icon commission because I'm a weak, weak person with only 138 of 210 icon slots used. I'm hoping it will come out well and be a good one to use for the winter/holiday season.

WoW is WoW. RP, some good and some bad, and today we tried Sarth 3D with four people to try to get a drake for a friend, but we didn't have the DPS to succeed. We got close every time though! I like one big/longer living boss better than lots of little ones, and I dodged the fire wall thing successfully every time! I didn't remember until we were in the middle of it, but I had watched videos of the fire wall, back when the raid was new. (Plus I remember poor fealubryne doing it with under 3 FPS!)

Oh hey, the icon got done while I was writing this, yay! Look at the larger version of it, too. Is it not spiffy? :D

The artist has slots left if anyone else wants one!

I remember doing Sarth 3D back in WotLK, that was fun. I didn't win the drake though...

Also, pfft Pisces ftw!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Pisces's is very fitting!

The drake was reserved, but that was fine with me, I was just there to help. :)

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

I lost the lot on it when my guild did it...to the person who did the lowest DPS and was being carried. Heads rolled.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh blah. That sucks. :/

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, those zodiac pics are beautiful! I was all, "Cancer the crab is Tiana and not Ariel?" But then of course Ariel is Pisces, so that all worked out. :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I went through the same thought process. The whole thing, such a good idea!

[prettyredeyes.livejournal.com]

Those zodiac pics are neat. Though of course I defaulted to Ariel, who is apparently having some kind of fishgasm (what?). XD

Also, Hunchback is one of my favourites. The villain is just so incredibly villainous. X3

Cute icon! What are people charging for these and where are they advertising? This seems like an intriguing sort of business they're running. :3

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

... Fishgasm, hee. :D

I paid $5 for the one on this post, though it was half-off her usual price since she wanted some samples with santa hats on them. $5 is about how much I'm usually willing to pay for icons, unless the artist is really, really good. The most I've paid was $20 or so, to the amazing ani_mama. She's the professional animator who did commissions like this one (http://www.hot-hot-hot-catlove.com/wow/Thistle_comm_3_by_animama_big.jpg).

teenycom is where I buy most of mine through. It's very, very, very heavily furry, but sometimes you can get non-furry stuff as well.

Edit: Fixed comm name.
Edit: Fixed ani_mama's name. o.O Sorry for spamming you, I can't type this morning.

I'm Belle!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Belle is one of the best princesses to be! And I hope one day you find your Beast. ;)

Ugh, I was just talking to someone about that the other day. That fight was a bitch and a half when it came out, and then I remember finally being successful on the three drake run. Of course, once we had it down it was cake, even with a horrible framerate. But learning how to handle the fight itself was... ugh.

Also, the Disney princess thing is so cute. The person did a really good job matching up the signs, I was impressed!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I don't miss having done these when they were current, but I'm glad to be going back and seeing them now. It's still hard to me (how very very paranoid I was that I would shoot one of the purple drakes by mistake and ruin everything!), so it works out.

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

It's pretty, I'll say that much; I don't really want to paint with all the colors of the wind, though.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

But have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?

[quasilemur.livejournal.com]

My sister once asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned, and got mauled pretty badly, actually. I don't really like to talk about it.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Bobcats can be real assholes sometimes.

I didn't know Jane counted as a princess! But then I don't think I've ever actually seen Tarzan.

I love the shading on his chin-area fur. I am definitely going to have to check out that community.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Tarzan is worth seeing, for the music at least! I don't think the movie itself impressed me that much (it's been a while), but I really like a lot of the songs from it.

Good! You should totally offer commissions there, make some money from your work! :D
