E. Aster Bunnymund's Warren

Day 26 - So the day that was supposed to be the day after Christmas isn't too soon to post something Easter related is it? ;3

As you may or may not have been able to tell from the title, this is the home of one E. Aster Bunnymund. But you probably know him better as the Easter Bunny. :3 He just made his newest debut in Rise of the Guardians, but it turns out that a series of books came out first (I don't know why I'm surprised since pretty much everything is based off of books nowadays. I'm not complaining exactly, just wondering why I'm surprised.)

Christmas Flashback

Day 25 - Okay, so it took me forever to put up this next picture because if I had kept up with a picture a day thing then Day 25 should have been Christmas Day. Only, ya know, I fell a month behind. xP Blah...

Anyway, this is my younger sister and I after she opened up my present to her. Now I am rather pleased with it (because let's face it, it's awesome) but I made her a Jazz scarf.

Jazz scarf!

Not jazz as in music see, but Jazz as in the Autobot Jazz! She and I are both huge TF fans so when I got this idea (about only a week before Christmas I swear) I just had to make it for her. I was originally going to buy her one off of etsy, but like I said it was only about a week before the big day, maybe not even that... o.O

But I found this plain colored cream scarf that was super duper long (a requirement that Sis put out there) and it was really nice and soft (Bonus!) and I sewed on a big blue plain of fabric, then a red ribbon-stripe, and with a white number four on top. It's really cool! And she loved it so much! xD Yay! I think that'll be what I remember most about this Christmas.

Well, that and the power went out. That was fun....

And my Sis lo~oved it. She oh so lo~oved it! Oh yeah she lo~oved it! *Keeps on dancing in seat*

Yay! And now that I have posted my favorite moment from Christmas, I feel emotionally free to move on and post other, not-Christmasy pictures.

Well...maybe not-Christmasy pictures....just saying...

Box Fulla Penguins

Day 24 - So we were putting up our Christmas decor last night and it made me sad. :_

So here is a box full of penguins. It cheered me up, so I thought that maybe someone else out there could use a box full of penguin-y cheer too. :)

Hope things are going alright wherever and whoever you are.

One Way Over-Saturated Pussy Cat :)

Bonus Picture! :) This is the same photo I put up the other day of Sokka lounging under the tree (really he was hiding from my sister so he wouldn't have to go to bed. Mom swears he's like a two year old. But then I guess that's fair since I think he is actually two now...) But unlike the other day this one is oversaturated and awesome because of it! :P I was fixing up the photo for the other day when I accidentally put the saturation to 100% and I thought it looked cool with all the bright, ridiculous colors. So I kept it. :)

The Plastic Forest & The Lost Prime

Day 22 - More Christmas merch from Hobby Lobby. As weird as it may sound I rather liked this picture, despite the extra large sale signs that sort of stand out like emergency sirens (^-.-^ Mrs. Mittens didn't like them very much either...)

I think what I liked best about the trees is that I think if I stood in the middle of them all it would feel kind of like standing in the middle of a forest. A perfumed, plasticky, not-very-piney forest but still.

Oh! Dad has just saved Kreon Optimus Prime from the depths of the couch! I didn't even know he was under there...

Me: o.O

OP: -.-

Me: I-I didn't even know you were lost...

OP: }:s

Me: I'm, uh....sorry?

OP: Mmm-hmmm....I'm telling Santa.

Me: O.O NOOOO! OP wait!!!!!

OP - }:p Ha ha! Teach you to leave me under that nasty couch! Oh, by the way, your lost socks say hello.

Me: o.o I thought the dryer ate them ages ago...

;3

Look! He's got a cupcake! :D

Day 21 - Was going to post this last night, but upload was taking forever. So I put it off til today. I saw this (strange) guy at Hobby Lobby when I was shopping for Christmas gift components and I thought he was...well....

Weird.

So I present you with weird Santa man. Look! He's giving you a cupcake! :D

...no I realize that makes him no less weird....

Now I must go get my Mom's Christmas present. So long folks! :)

Sokka Christmas Cat Strikes Again!

Day 20 - Hmmm...something is amiss with this picture. What on Earth could it be? ;3

Now sing it with my now; One of these things is not like the other! One of these things doesn't belong! xP Sokka the Christmas Cat strikes again! My sister tried to pull him out from under the tree to bring him up to bed, but he just backed up even farther. My dad ended up scaring the bujeebers out of him to get him out. Poor Sokko-Taco. ;3

Q is for Quiet...but not right now

Day 19 - Another picture of our tree after I played around with it in the photo manipulator program that came on my (new) computer. x3 I rather liked the angle of this shot along with how the ornaments were placed. And then I just messed around with the vigenette (whatever that may be...) to see what it did. I haven't posted a largely light photo before.

Alright, so two things that are bugging me right now:

1.) I was just skimming the episode list on wiki for Young Justice. I was trying not to actually read them because I only just finished the first season (in two days :p) so I'm still rather confused by the five year time skip. And what the heck happened to half the team from the first season?!?!?

So that was why I was 'skimming'. Actually, I was using the find command to look for Aqualad, Artemis, and Wally's names to see how long I would have to wait until I found out what happened to them in the last five years that to us viewers equals about, oh....ten minutes. ^-.-^

And then what do my eyes abruptly, forcibly, just latch on to? That Aqualad is evil?!?!? That Artemis dies?!???? Are you freaking kidding me?!??!?!?! Aghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! *continue frustrated scream...*

Ahem...alright, so I may be suffering from sudden cartoon-related frustration. But why is it that writers feel the need to corrupt and kill characters after they went through so much trouble to ensure that we liked them?!

Now to be fair, I can't exactly say I am innocent of causing this frustration. I am almost constantly writing. Or thinking about writing. Or ironing out stories and characters in my head. And I have killed characters before. Not because I hate them, or suddenly find them useless, but because I am trying not to let my innate desire for everything to turn out peachy keen override the inescapable fact that not everything that happens is 'good'. What can I say? I have a problem dealing with the wrongness found in the world.

But still. Writers killing characters they made us love rankles me as a viewer/reader. I don't like it. To be blunt-

It bugs me. }:(

Agh! And then I am faced with the internal dilemma of 'Do I keep watching this show despite knowing that something horrifying is about to happen?' or 'Forget this, I'm going to find something that won't make me feel like all people are heartless monsters'.

....*insert more frustrated grumblings here*

Well, I have no answers (and my very silly Dad and Mom have made me laugh so hard that I think I drooled a little on the blanket...) so moving on to numero 2) I have not been able to write anything substantial ever since I got this new computer, so almost a full week. And I know it doesn't sound that long to you, but a full week without any really focused writing is enough to drive me a little bit loco. So...that may also be feeding into my high annoyance at the whole heros-going-inexplicably-crazy thing. Everything seems ten times more annoying/horrible when I can't write...

......okay, so, I feel a little bit better. Although I think Dad's ability to pull strange and random faux-truths out of thin air regarding Aqualad helped in that regard. That and his truly terrible Woody Woodpecker laugh. I swear it sounded like the Penguin trying to laugh like Woody. And not a Penguin from a well-done Batman movie. I mean Adam West Penguin. It was great. :)

Mickey and Minnie's Display

Day 18 - Well, it was good while it lasted, but alas, I am behind again. Oh well. I went to the mall today in search of some elusive Christmas presents for my Mom and my lil Sis. Unfortunately I only succeeded on one account and even that isn't, eh, 'finished'. n_n;

Anyway, this was the window display for the Disney Store. Isn't it cute? :) I've always thought Minnie and Mickey were adorable and this only confirms my suspicions. ;3

Finally Caught Up! Whew!

Day 17 - Woohoo! With this I am finally caught up on my picture a day venture! Yay! Even though, technically, it's one in the mroning and therefore a new day where I must post a picture so I'm still, technically again, a day behind, I don't care! I haven't gone to sleep yet therefore, I am caught up. Period.

As you can see Sokka the Christmas Cat returns! In all his lazy-feline glory...wee?

;p Nah, I love him, even though he's a lazy furball, he's our lazy furball. And he's soft. That goes a long way when you're a cat. :)

Three Little Carolers

Day 16 - Three little carolers and their lantern propped up in someone's yard. This may sound strange but I kinda hope they weren't home when I took this. That would've been...a little strange... o.O

But I promise I'm not casing houses! xP They were just so cute. ;3

Mini-Grimmy Asleep on Christmas Eve

Day 13 - My dear Mini-Grimmy sleeping near the tree on Christmas Eve. Just a little watercolor sketch I did with some watercolor pencils and field brushes. I know you can't really tell with her curled up under a blanket, but she's a child-sized mechanical dinosaur. And by child-sized, I mean she's about half a foot (maybe more) bigger then your average six year old.

:)

Original image itself is only about 3x2 inches. Very small. But I'm rather attached to her. She's my sweet. And despite appearances she shares a lot in common with my little sister, who may or may not have earned the nickname 'Mini-Grimmy' first.... ^,,^

The blue thing she has tucked against her nose is a puggle named Topspin. My sister has one she bought at Botcon, hence his appearance here. Yes, he's fast asleep too. He's also a raucous snorer. I wouldn't be surprised if Santa's scared away just by that! ;3

Neighborhood Christmas Wreath

Day 12 - Backlogged. Okay, last one for the night since I want to be up fairly earlier. This is a wreath i saw they put on the little thing that declares what neighborhood your in and I thought it was pretty. The end. :)

*Yawn!* I'm gonna hit the hey. G'night!

Sokka the Christmas Cat

Day 11 - backlogged. This is Sokka the Christmas Cat. Well, for right now he's the Christmas cat seeing as he's plonked himself down on a box right in front of the Christmas tree. ;3 He's our only indoor cat and while he is exceptionally soft, he's not all that cuddly.

Unless you're my sister. Then you can wiggle/jerk/abscond him and he doesn't even twitch. I mean she dumps him on his back and holds him like a little furry baby and he only lays there with his paws curled up! He's a goofy furball alright.

I think I'm rambling now...

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Day 10 - At least it should have been day 10. I got behind, as I'm sure those who dropped by these past few (x3 people looked! Yay!) found out. The above picture is something else I did. A Christmas Tree (in case you couldn't tell alreay...) It's sorta of mostly done because I'm using it as an another fanfiction cover, but now that I look at it I think it needs glitter. :) Yep. Definitely needs some glitter on it. I'll have to shiny it up tomorrow. :)

And just a note, I'm so very pleased/proud of you all! My last post had the most hits so far since I started this venture! o.O Cool! And here I was afraid no one would really like my personal work. n_n;

I need three more pictures to be all caught up. I took a few more yesterday and today and then I have a watercolor sketch I want to put it to see how it looks online. So I think I'll get another one or two up tonight, and then I guess the rest tomorrow. Although, tomorrow's going to be kinda busy... :(

Muddling Through Cover - Unfiished

Day 9 - I took some photos today, but I didn't like them. So instead I went and found this. It's an unfinished painting of mine that I'm using as a cover to a fanfiction of mine called Muddling Through. (Found Here if you're interested) I've worked on it some more since I took this photo, but I haven't had a chance to update it yet. The young woman is named Aria and yes, I know she still looks a little off, even though it took me forever just to get her looking this...human... n_n;

She's listening to Judy Garland's version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Which, incidentally, is the first recorded version of that song ever made. She sang it for her movie Meet Me In Saint Louie. I like it best because the last few lines of the song are different from the version you hear most of the time. It ends:

"Someday soon, we all will be together. If the fates allow. Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow. So have yourself a merry little Christmas now."

Hence the title of my story. :) Anyway, that's my favorite rendition. I like the detail the full size of the photo has so I'm going to post that next to save on room. :)

Merry Preemptive Christmas! :3

Cute 'Lil Christmas Angels

Day 8

Today I present to you...cute little Christmas angel ornaments. :) I was just going to clean up the image, but then I stumbled upon this filter that made it look kind of vintage-y to me and I liked it, so I kept it.

All I did today was read Transformers stories, drink Diet Coke, and listen to Mumford & Sons. All in all it was an awesome day... :3

Pretty Christmas in Pink

Day 7

Some rather pink looking lights and ornament. Tinted in photo impressions. I like pink...

So another wonderously awful day. Yeah, 'nuff said really. I want to put up a photo of Wheeljack today, but I don't know if I have any good ones left. I'll probably look through my photos again, but I honestly can't remember what's in them right now...

I'm going to try and write something sickly cute to try and make myself feel better. G'night.

P.S. - Blahhh.....

Christmas Cakes

Day 6

A batch of Christmas cakes at the grocery store! They were so cute! xP Definitely cute enough to eat. ;3 My sister and I got one of the penguin ones to split. Haven't tasted it yet, but it looks yummy. :P *licks lips* Yum.

Tomorrow; I paint! Yay me! I'm excited. Nothing more to really say except enjoy your virtual cake.

Goodnight! ;P

The (not so little or tin) Solider

Day...5? I think....

Anyway, I went to the park today and painted for awhile. I started working on a painting of this cute little nutcracker ornament I have (not shown above) in my new watercolor sketchbook. He's looking pretty good if I do say so myself. Hopefully I'll either get him finished tomorrow or Friday, depending on when I can get to school. I saw they had these art pens in the bookstore (not just any black ink pens; black ink pens with waterproof Indian ink I believe! :) Yay! So much easier then me using my fancy calligraphy pen and an inkwell!) and I want to try 'em so bad! That and the school got in some nice looking linoleum too. Sweet! x)

I also have to go get my remaining graduation announcements and my cap and gown came in, so I need to get up there anyway. I'm hoping to use the school studio a few more times before I graduate too, since no one's in them anyway and I have to go up a few more days for graduation stuffs, so I might as well take advantage of the free space while I can. :) The studios share a building with professor/academic offices, so the building's already open, and they keep the large studios unlocked, so I don't feel like I'm abusing the system. Very much anyway... n_n;

I kid, I kid. Anyway, thank you for the nine hits yesterday! This may sound somewhat sad, but that was a nice big spike for me and I enjoyed it! I guess the message is clear. The Internet Audience is looking for Christmas pictures now. Guess I'd better look for some more interesting ones. :)

Have a good nights peeps! Lol, I can't believe I just said that. X3
