i meant to post sunday, but we were at grandpa's so i didn't have access to anything internet-y and i worked on other things instead.

i have most of a design for a burlesque pinup Poison Ivy drawn out, and i'm pondering how to do a similar Harley Quinn since she's not really the vampy type. it's a pleasant challenge, though the closest i've managed is a 5os type jukebox girl design i didn't bother finishing.

Kyu and i have been keeping up with (and very much enjoying) this season of New Who, and he's also working on a solo project, watching every vampire movie he's ever heard of, which includes the last 3 Twilight movies since he'd only managed the first two before he quit last time. watching him watch Twilight has been hugely entertaining honestly. it's been great since he's really into vampire things, so he finds them offensive basically on a personal level and he pretty much has a comment on every scene. honestly though some of the commentary is less on vampires or werewolves and more on mistreatment of women and how Edward and Jacob represent a woman thinking she can never do better than an abusive douche nozzle of a boyfriend. there's been extensive discussion of the both of them treating her as little more than a shiny toy with bragging rights, emotional manipulation and physical intimidation run rampant in both scenarios really.

today i'm kinda bummed because the dress i spent a good chunk of yesterday sewing took a wrong turn somewhere and i think i hate it and wanna walk away and start something new.. i feel bad about the wasted material though, so maybe i'll just rip some seams and see if it's still salvageable. while i resolutely don't think about it though i think i'll work on something else.
