Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!

Posted by Bernadet

Turns out my sister wasn`t being pure evil and ignoring my emails all day long after all, she`d just neglected to check her email the entire day because of her laptop being broken. (so technically she did ignore my email but I`ll forgive her since she had a reason to do so). So I called her with my cellphone – which I for once did not find a useless invention – and she decided to come shopping with me! whoooo!

So while waiting for her (mum had to pick up some food with the car before sis could use it to get to me)  I ate a billy-sandwich at the IKEA while watching the helicopters come and go from the hospital. It was quite amusing…except for the fact that it took sis over an hour to get there. But I forgive her for that too since mum was being very slow with picking up the food and too lazy to take her bike. BOO MUM.

There was an awesome guy playing the bagpipes in the city, he had a leopard print on his bagpipes. He was like…the pimp of pipers! But he got a bit creepy when we noticed he was EVERYWHERE. When we were at one end of the street he was standing there playing music. We were like ‘whooaa awesome’  and continued on shopping. A little while later we reached the other end of the street. And guess what? HE WAS THERE TOO. I suspect he teleports…which makes him even more awesome!

I bought some proper tea while we were shopping and it smells so good (with proper tea I mean tea leaves, not the less tasty variant that comes in teabags). And and and, I got a gorgeous steel book version of the movie Silent Hill, for only 10 euros. I think Silent Hill is a GENIUS movie so ofcourse, I couldn`t resist this offer.

When I got home I finally got some inspiration and time to make new art again so I bring to you – Bored Fairy and Bored Fairy closeup! *g*

Art + Shopping + Onion Rings + Sister = Happy Bernadet

Posted by Bernadet

Hey everyone! I highly doubt anyone but the people I poke here actually read this blog but I`ll continue doing so anyway, cause I rather enjoy being able to put my thoughts in words. It makes me think about them a lot less…too bad I can`t put anything private on here since you`ll always see that the people who you`re gossiping about will read the blog. Stuff like that always happens to me *g*

As you might have noticed, I changed the layout of the site a bit. I finally managed to think clearly and realised that I seriously wasn`t getting enough visitors to earn a proper amount out of the adsense and that they were probably only annoying people, so I removed them again. They may returns when I get more visitors. (According to my webstats I one day have 200 unique visits and another day 10…so it`s not very stable).

After a bit of analyses of seeing which link people clicked I discovered that a lot of people have a hard time finding my digital art page. I haven`t found a way to make it more obvious yet but I have found a way to show a bit of art on the main page. Below the polaroid there are now four random pieces of art I made, just to make them more accessible. I also divided the pieces on the digital art page into different albums since the page was already getting rather long with hardly any art on it, this way it`ll be a lot easier to manage.

Now I finished telling you about the changes to the site, let`s start the personal rambling…

I only have 6 more days of internship left, which means I`m nearly going to get some spare time again. I`m really really really looking forward to that. I didn`t realize how hard working 6 days a week full time would be. Actually, I didn`t realize it up to about two weeks ago. The first few weeks it didn`t tire me or wear me down but these days I`m really starting to notice that and I understand why people need two days of free time a week. I could sleep right now..I really could.

I also feel a strong urge to buy things so I want to go shopping, but my sister hasn`t responded to my email asking if she wanted to come shopping with me. She`s pure evil…EVIL I TELL YOU. I even tried luring her with the prospect of eating onion rings at the macdonalds (we LOVE onion rings). Maybe she`s just sleeping…I hope she`s just sleeping instead of ignoring me. Cause I`ll have to go slap her if she is ignoring me  *slaps* 8D Her laptop broke though, so maybe she`s just too lazy to get a different one…just like she`s too lazy to write on this blog…BOOOOOOO @ sister.  (Secretly I still love you though sis *g*).

You`re probably getting bored by now…if you`re still reading this…which you probably aren`t…so I`m going to stop now. Bye darlings!

I fail at life

Posted by Bernadet

I just spend a looong time staring at a puzzle in professor layton until I discovered that I`d be counting wrong all the time. I`d managed to think that there were 100 mm in a cm, while there are obviously only 10mm in a cm. I fail…big time.

Anyway, I`m finally starting to get a little less stressed now my internship is coming to an end and I have a few less duties on the plaza. At times, I`ve even got spare time left. It`s not much though…but at least it`s something.

Having a bit of spare time also meant that I finally found some time to work on new 3d art again! The next one is a work in progress, I don`t think I`m quite done with her yet so I won`t add her to the digital art page yet. I just wanted to give you a little something to look at.

I`m also considering to write a tutorial on how to make these. (I`d give away my secret of how easy it actually is though *g*). Would anyone be interested in this?

Digital Art page remodeled

Posted by Bernadet

As you might have noticed some things have been changed about the site lately. I have added adsense blocks in an attempt to earn some money with my blog. Even if it`s just a few dollars a year I`d be happy. Tell me if they are too annoying though and I`ll remove them. I tried picking the smallest size possible to keep them from being too obtrusive, I hope I succeeded.

Another thing I have quite drastically changed is the Digital Art page. A lot of the art on that page was outdated, stuff I made when I only just started doing 3d art years ago. When I looked at them I was embarrassed of them, and though I quite often heard that they were pretty I just didn`t want to show them anymore. So from now on only the more recent art can be seen there or the older art which I can live with (though that probably won`t stay long either…I`m just waiting till I have enough new content to fill a page). I also divided the art by categories and I have increased the size of a thumbnail from 100×100 to 150×150 so you guys can see the preview a bit better.

Unfortunately, no one has clicked the pictures yet since I changed it while they used to be clicked quite often before I changed it. Did you guys like the old design better? Is that why you stopped clicking? Or do you no longer feel the need to click them since the preview is big enough to see the image. Please comment and if the general opinion is that the old design was better I`ll change it back *hugs*

Also, my internship only lasts for two more weeks so in two weeks I`ll finally be able to get more active online again. I can`t wait to return to full activity on the plaza. What I can`t wait for either is the halloween icons! I`m sooo curious as to which icons we`ll get for halloween. I`m desperately hoping for True Blood, but unfortunately I have little hope for it since the show is a _bit_ mature :P

Professor Layton

Posted by Bernadet

Hey everyone! It`s been a while since I wrote  a decent blog post instead of random art spam (though you guys do seem to like the art spam, thank you for that! *hugs*) so I`m going to try writing one now. I just bought the new Professor Layton game for the Nintendo DS saturday since me and my sister have tried downloading it for weeks now yet every single time it said it couldn`t read the data so finally we gave in and just bought it. After all, we`d very much enjoyed the previous game.

I`ve only played for a few minutes so far but I`m already enjoying it again (though I`ve already failed to solve a puzzle..shush). My sister has already for over four hours so I guess that`s a good indication of how awesome it is. What sucks a lot more though is the little amount of hint coins you get in the new game. In the old game you knew there were two hint coins hidden on each screen yet in the new game you can be glad if you find one of five screens. COME ON…WE NEED OUR HINT COINS! Do they think we`re smart or something? Well guess what..I`M NOT! 8D

*g* But the game is still fun, so that`s good *nods* And you get a pet hamster which you have to train because he`s FAT! Now what could be more awesome than that?

Also, I miss true blood…the new season won`t start till like june 2010…I`m not sure if I will survive that long. I might just resort to reading Eric fanfiction *twitch*

Also, I just saw a poster from the Volturi from Twilight and they very much disappoint me. I mean…twilight itself is quite silly but the Volturi had potential for awesomeness. They sounded a lot more like real vampires. Unfortunately, Twilight has managed to make them look gay. Very gay. It took me about three minutes to even figure out that the second girl I saw wasn`t a girl but Caius. Damn you twilight!

Please comment spam my post again, I like it 8D
