Or can be at a moment's notice.


Perhaps I was wrong, I never was going to 'color' this...
That's the strange thing about color; it comes out different in every perception, because perception is all we have, everything we are. Naturally, we must make the same of the world. We must fit in. So in trying to quantify everything, we replace the things with the symbols, and then the symbols with the things, until eventually all we have left are things and symbols that all point to...

But they don't. That's the problem with symbols; they never mean what we mean. Sometimes the only route left is to remove them altogether.

... Why am I logged in with my writers account...? O.o I never intended to do that. Not that it matters.

*does a little first comment dance, because I still like those*

This was a 404 error yesterday. Eh. Her fancy-pancy outfit isn’t here...! I liked that, y’know. Not that this ain’t very pretty in any case. Her eyelashes are extremely facinating.

Nice colour. Especially the eyes. Shiny. With your introduction to it and all, it reminds me, for some reason or other, of a Calvin and Hobbes stripe, in which Calvin’s dad tells him that the world wasn’t coloured until a said age. (Because Calvin asks why old photoes always are in black’n’white.) The reason why there still excists coloured paintings, when the world was all in greyshades, is because...

... artists are mad.

Maybe that wasn’t the exact reason, but that’s the way I remember it. Sometimes, I believe in it too.

In any case. This is lovely coloured. Especially if you’re a dog. Woof.

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Because your writerly account has a shorter username? (or does it? I can’t remember)

*claps*
Now those have been missing as of late around these parts. Whatever happened to the people that did those? Did they just leave or something?

Elfwood doesn’t like ’.’s at the beginnings of filenames. *shakes head sadly* Silly Elfwood.
Meh, this is just a detail; I haven’t finished ’coloring’ the outfit. And just for you and Maxine, I guess I’ll be bothered to do the gem thingies after all. (I kind of haven’t done anything for those at this point) Her eyelashes came out better than I expected, that’s for sure. o_O

Her eyes are bright red with saturation. I hope I can restore the color for, perhaps, them alone. ^^;
Aye, I’ve seen that one. Amusing, indeed. Of course, quite possibly, the description is another example of why I shouldn’t try to write while semi-conscious and after reading masses of those incoherent randomnesses...

Artists are mad, though.
And when you consider how many of the oil painters who went crazy from all the chemicals in the paint... *laughs softly* Oh, yes...

Woof. o_O

Thank you, dear.

(Now why am I not doing my homework?)

(Oh well.)

I see calling it 0hidden works better.
Those eyes. Those eyes I love.
The lips... very sharp lips. Bet she cuts herself smiling.

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Indeed. Of course, the 0hidden removes the entire joke from it...

Thanks.
Hmm... a valid point. Those are a bit much... *wanders off, pondering*"

Watch you don’t cut yerself on those lips.....

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "I need a new computer. O_O

Oh, lips... right."

I totally love the way you cged thid one... her eyes, her lips, her hair... it looks so 3d-ish. And i love 3d stuff. XD

:-) Kim Schoonover (Darth Maulīs scary sister) replies: "Shiny. ^^ This bodes well, bodes well indeed. In fact, the entire point of the piece as a whole shall be based upon that 3d-ish effect... assuming I ever finish it. >.>
Glad you like it.

Oops, wrong color."
