AND IT BEGINSSSS WAHAHA.

Adverse Camber, Chapter the first!

3938 words (ok I added a couple of extra words after I counted it, while I was HTML'ing for ElJay). Hey, it's a Sunday, I get to be busy, and I'm "buffering" for those days (i.e. ON CALL BOOO) that I don't write much. :) And I'M NOT BEING DISTRACTED BY A DIFFERENT STORY, woohoo. (Although I will try get that "hanging" last chapter of Warped finished off asap, anyway.)

What I've written so far has already thrown a surprise at me, so... go figure. :P Lars has finally admitted to her "oops" to me, and Seem is all WUARGH at her/me for it. OH WELL. Yay for characters taking over. :P

( WORDCOUNTMETER )

...and now... to sleep.

*zzz*

I never showed you lot the AWESOME ARTS I made for my working "NaNo09" page on my site, did I?

( PREPARE TO BE GREATLY AWED )

*LOOKS SO MODEST AT HER AWESOME ART ABILITIES*

Unconnected edit: Lordy, if I see that "artists on Craigslist not being paid fairly" ONCE MORE, I'm going to go crazy.

Incidentally, comparing "making art" to "neurosurgery" just... does not compute. O_o

Lots and lots of art under here. I had a scanning spree!

( Dumping in progress! I'll make this entry more coherent once I'm done uploading, I just need a link for devART. Warning: THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR MY NANO! )

Just some quotes I want to squiggle down on some of my art :) Some are Lara's, some Seem's, one is Wen's (but I already put that one up on a previous entry, slightly reworded) I want to find a couple for the others too (essentially: Mirii, Fred, Firewire).

“There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.”
Mahatma Gandhi quotes (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)
“There are no speed limits on the road to excellence.”

Celerity
"The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you."
Tony Robbins
"Control your own destiny or someone else will."
Jack Welch
"The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control."
Ogden Nash

Wen
"What counts is not what we are made of, but what we choose to make of ourselves."

Firewire
"I learned so much from my mistakes, I'm thinking of making a few more."

Yeah, people on my FL have prolly seen this doodle of Lara in another pic before, but anyway.

At last I can has a NIGHTSUN! One of the very first of the rabble to show up in my brain (I think he and Spotweld appeared together), but it's taken me almost a year to get a headshot of him on paper. HE HAS HEADPHONESS. I wanted to give him the looks of a helicopter pilot, hence the visor and headphones and stuff. I'm not sure if he's going to have one of those little microphones that sits alongside the mouth - it'd only be for effect anyway, because, well, robot. Snazzy little police helicopter.

And finally! OMG I MANAGED TO HALF-DRAW HIM BEFORE HE RAN OFF AND HID AMONG THE NEURONS. Lucy (channelling Lily Allen? *razz!*) and (half of) Deuce, who's looking a little long-suffering and why-is-she-climbing-on-me, but that's natural for him. BLESS. (I know, he's got the same sort of pose as Nightsun, but I no care. I just wanted to TRY and grab him on paper.)

Totally CAN'T IMAGINE what SHE might be thinking about... ¬_¬
