No significant improvement in sight though, so watch this kitty running!

Having recently played rather a lot of GW2, I've become increasingly annoyed with the presence of zombies and other assorted undead and/or risen stuff everywhere. It's not that I have anything against zombies per se - it's the quantity that's getting to me. They are everywhere. Games: zombies. Fantasy books: zombies. Films: zombies. And now with Halloween approaching - more zombies! Seriously? That's not even creative. The last quarter of the storyline, not to mention almost all of the endgame content in GW2 is spent fighting zombies (ok, the lore has something to do with that, too), but if it has to be undead, at least make it look like something interesting and not like your everyday Whatever-of-the-dead antagonist. Especially in games, there isn't much that you can't do in terms of design, and I find zombies just such an easy, cheap way out... and they stink.


Apart from that, I'm actually really enjoying GW2, and my newfound freedom after handing in and defending my thesis :P

End of an Era

2 min read
Hey guys!

Tomorrow morning I'm heading back to Austria (for good?) after five years abroad. I still have a couple of months to go with PhD hand-in and -aftermath but I guess it's safe to say life's going to change a lot for me. I'm happy and sad about leaving in pretty equal measures, not going to miss the crappy house or crappy internet but I'm going to miss my friends and my independence (having to live with mum & dad until I can get a job), the sea, and speaking english ;)

The good news is, I have a spanking new Intuos 5 waiting for me when I get over there :D although I'm really enjoying traditional work at the moment (you can tell, can't ya..) I'm totally looking forward to giving that a go!

Oh, and if anyone of you guys has a tumblr, I'd like to hear about it! Mine's here eclecticbrainstorm.tumblr.com/



see you soon in my new life,
byes for now

I just had THE craziest moment. Just randomly browsing dA front page and happen to look at the bottom where some of the DDs are shown, and see this:

Art blocked?

4 min read
Hey lovely people!

(first of all, a huge thanks to my watchers, old and new! Here I was, two months ago, wondering how I'd made it to 14k pageviews - and suddenly, I'm on 15k! thank you all!! :glomp:)


I never talk about art block. I don't normally see periods of artistic inactivity as art block, because I usually find some other creative outlet. At the moment though, there are a couple of things I REALLY want to draw/paint, such as finishing a piece of Eryn as a Norn I started before Christmas, doing the request for Rhopunzel, designing my orcface Morag as a new OC (including weapons and armor and stuff), updating my devID.... I have ideas for all of these things, and I'd even have time (now and again) to do them but they just don't seem to want to come out of my head! It's like I'm physically unable to pick up a pencil/stylus and just.. get going. I guess that's what art block feels like. But then again I guess it's still better than having no ideas at all.

I'll be leaving the UK for my medium-term plans in two months' time, and although I really hope I'll get a few things drawn before then, I'm also expecting that the change of scenery (and the upcoming release of Guild Wars 2 :XD:) will get the juices flowing again. I'm planning on finally upgrading from my trusty but rusty Graphire to a shiny Intuos with lots of customisable buttons :3 as soon as I moved, so yay for that!

In the meantime, I'm gonna shamelessly plug my photography account, because, well, it's deserted. There's only tumbleweed =P  I guess I could take care of it more, too.

there's not a terrible amount on there, but if anyone is interested in what I'm up to, photographically, on a more regular base, I have a flickr account: www.flickr.com/photos/marinaha…

so long!
