_{In The Shadows >> The Rasmus}

If you wish to speak with me, note me. I'll receive it.

I've just seen that dA decided tracing one's art whilst also adding elements of your own into the image is considered art.
If you wish to trace any of my images, please contact me first. In the case that I grant you permission to use them for a trace, please link back your final image to the original image used. Thanks.

The semester has ended, and I'll be off soon for three weeks of sunshine. I need that sunshine now, despite my love of winter; it is needed to heal a broken heart.

Have a good Christmas and Happy New Year!

NEW
The 25 Fashion Design Challenge!

I found this challenge through *MellasFenixxes.
Credit for this idea goes to ~autumncoloredmelodie and ~AngieChild

Rules:
1. Drawings must be yours! No stealing! Collabs are okay.
2. It’d be really great if these were all new, but old drawings are okay.
3. They can be doodles to finished pieces, but the more work you put in, the more you get out of it.
4. Oh yeah, photography allowed too. All you photographers need a break ^.~ and photo is fun! anthro, fanart, realism, etc. are all allowed. Anything you can apply fashion too is okay, really.
5. Give me a link to where you’re keeping track if you’re doing this so I can show everybody how far you are!
6. Um, I don’t think there’ll be prizes or anything, just for fun, but the first person to do them all can request a drawing if they want.
7. FAQ: Yes, these pictures may be doubled with the 100-theme challenge (i.e. pirate outfit with the 'Dark' theme). I personally don't mind! this is for your own enjoyment.
8: FAQ: If you decide to do 2 (or more) charcters, it is perfectly alright to alternate the themes. I.E. character one, Apple, for odd themes and character two, Bannana, for even themes.

So without further ado, here they are! (Format borrowed from ~AngieChild )

[FB: I'll notify in the deviation description whether it belongs to the 25 Fashion Challenge. I'm not gonna link it to the creator, simply because I want to do this for my own enjoyment. I'm using two characters - the male is Elijah, who is an elf; the second is Canelle, who is the female and (you know what's coming ) vampire. I'll probs link each devvie or at least mark it off Enjoy!

2. Stripes
3. Hat
4. Awesome Shoes
5. Layered
6. Tie
7. Fan Girl/Boy

_{Seeing as I never really post quizzes anymore, I figured I should put this entry into a good use and explain why I like the movies, bands and authors that I like. However, let's not litter and leave comments. If you want to tell me something/comment on this entry/flame me/tell me how cool you think I am/propose to me, etc, please NOTE me. Thank you!}


Brokeback Mountain: Come on, guys. This is a love story! One of the most profound and beautiful I know. No, it's not just Heath Ledger's smile that I'm talking about.
Interview with the Vampire: Anne Rice wrote the script for this. It is brilliantly acted out. Brilliant movie. And well it's vampires. So how can I not like this movie? Correction - LOVE this movie.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Funny pirate movie. I love pirates. I love (occasionaly) humour. Plus there's Johnny Depp. _{Comments: Legolas the Pirate. Nuff said.}
Phantom of the Opera: Do I really need to tell why I love one of the greatest musical tales of gothic romance and obsession and of course - music?
V for Vendetta: finally a movie that makes you think. Funny, intelligent, some excellent special effects, camera angles and acting. Loved it.
Lost Boys: I know I've only seen this once, but it's a vampire movie. And the music/costumes/droolworthy performance of Kiefer Sutherland aged like 20 are absolutely riveting.
Boys Don't Cry: A very difficult and harsh film, but it tells such a touching, hard story. I was in tears by the end of it.
Butterfly Effect/Silence of the Lambs: they're both thrillers and to do with psychology. they're both excellent, the first for the scary plot and special effects, the second for the psychopathic characters and their amazing performances. And also for letting us glimpse, via actions, the inside of a psychopath's mind.
Dead Again: excellent British acting from Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh. Magic, a twist of a plot and mystery, and action to keep you excited all along. Beautifully done.

The Rasmus: They changed my life. They are responsible for everything important to me in my life and the person I've become. I thank them for that every day. End of.
Nightwish: Hellooooo, symphonic-metal? Only one of my fave musical genres. Fantastical. They tell the stories and emotions that no one ever seems to notice, or they do but don't quite know how to describe. They hit the nail BANG into the coffin.
Björk: Quirky, unique, amazing music. The lyrics in particular. Love. End of.
Placebo: Decadent rock. The vocals are unique, the lyrics are blunt, and it's hard to find true words that hit you hard in the face these days. Kudos to the Placebos.
My Chemical Romance: Hey, I'm allowed to go crazy once in a while. No, Bjork doesn't qualify as crazy. Besides these guys have style, and The Black Parade is undoubtedly their best album.
Apocalyptica: I do love cellometal. If I say anything about Eicca I know someone will go mental but their music is passionate. Beauty in instruments.

DynasticPrincess: it's rare to find a talent with words in someone who by a general crowd of society is considered so young.

Anne Rice: Make way for the goddess of writing and vampires.

Shakespeare: classics will never get old or die. I love his sonnets.

Jasper Fforde: fiction police and humour, this guy rocks my socks. Honestly he does.

Philip Pullman: fantasy books at their highest quality. This guy is also very brilliant. He can pull you away from the real world in a matter of seconds.

Oscar Wilde/Baudelaire: decadent poetry and literature with a hedonistic touch are simply fabulous.

Gerald Durrell: animals and humour. He writes about his incredible life like it's something that can happen to anyone.

Douglas Adams: the guy's funny and the answer is 42. He condenses the metaphysics of the unisverse into something quite... harmless. Nuff said.

Diana Wynne Jones: Quirky plots that make you think with abundance of humour and magic. I luff.

Anothony Horrowitz: Or, as he is known in my family, Anthony Horror-wits. The man combines horror and laughter, often ridiculously cheesey and innaproppriately and just so damn funny.

JKR: Okai, okai. I fess up. I'm a re-discovered hardcore Potterite. Get over it It helps me understand psychology. True.

Hope you enjoyed that little insight into my life.

to all!
