Brushes

Currently working on:

A small detail of a huge image. Anyways... some people always ask: What kind of brushes do you use.
Mostly it's this one:

and because I think everybody should start with a good brush and not millions of fancy textured brushes you can download this one here:

I hope everybody knows how to install it. This one is mainly for pure painting. You can set the option and size as you want (I vary it every five seconds if needed). Just keep in mind that you need some more strokes to get smooth colors. I use it for my color moods and for all those annoying things that need a painted look.

I hope it's useful and that you enjoy painting with it.

farewell...

Ausnahmsweise mal ein Blogeintrag in Deutsch. Vor genau 2 Minuten habe ich nach .. ich glaube sieben Jahren meinen animexx account gelöscht.
Schlimm, ne?
Um ehrlich zu sein glaube ich, dass ich mir damit einen größeren Gefallen getan habe als mit dem letzten überteuerten noch nicht einmal getragenen Schuhen. :)
Animexx war gut um groß zu werden, aber jetzt bin ich 1,80m groß, 27 Jahre und ein paar zerdrückte Monate alt und kann auch ganz gut ohne. Ich habe mich meistens nur noch über die community aufgeregt, über Leute, über Einstellungen, über Großes und Kleines und noch viel mehr.
Ich habe lange gehadert, aber in den ersten drei Sekunden nach dem Löschen kam weder ein donnernder Blitz vom Himmel noch bekam ich vom Netbook einen tödlichen Stromschlag. Ergo: Scheint okay zu sein. Noch alles dran.

Für mich heißt es, dass ich in erster Linie wieder Blog- und Webseitenegoist sein darf. Sogar... Realitätsegoist (naja, da nicht ganz, aber ich bilde es mir gern ein). Keine skurilen Kommentare, nervenzehrende Dativ-oder Grammatikgemetzel und keine seltsamen Wortgebilde wie " Ist das liebe" mehr. Ehrlich Leute, das gibts nicht. Entweder: "Das ist so lieb" oder "ich finds total süß" aber kein " das ist so liebe"... oder hat da jemand einen Babelfish-Unfall mit "That's so lovely" gehabt? Nicht, dass ich ein wandelndes Wörtbuch wäre, aber... nee, das geht nicht. Da kräuseln sich meine Zehennägel hoch und verkriechen sich vor Schreck gleich wieder im Nagelbett.

So, ein feierliches Danke trotz kritischer Worte nach sieben Jahren an animexx und wir sehen uns... dort wohl nicht wieder. :)

Gute Nacht.

***short version in English***
I left a German art community after 7 years and deleted my acc. Nothing too important but something worth mentioning. (maybe)

Leftovers in SALE

all that's left... more information in my Deviantart journal

vanilla-strawberry ice cream...

and pure strawberry sorbet.

Hm... if making ice cream wouldn't take so long I'd do it more often. >.<
I wanted to prepare some figurines today but a call from my tax adviser brought me back into reality. "Miiiss Pätzke, you rrreaaly should send me yourrr paperrrs neext week!" (she's Russian I think o_o ).

Am i the only one having so much trouble doing all the paper work in time? I *hate* it. I wish some house elves would pop up right now. Uh!

unfinished....

can't see chubby fairies anymore and still no end in sight o_o

Funny thing: I recently got a lot of mails with "Hey, if you put this and that on your homepage and write things for our page we advertise you, so if you work for us you get more popular"
(subtitles: You work for us, you advertise our page and if somebody accidently stumbles over you on OUR homepage it's even better for you). Call me picky but those offers are weird.

LBM- nya, over!

... not really, my skin still feels like i turned into a mummy. O_O

a lot of people already wrote something -something true, something crazy, some lies, something funny, something odd... a lot. So i keep it short.
Thanks to all those who came. A special thanks to Judith who fed the whole team with chocolate cake (accidently but still... so yummy XD).
I think with nearly 28 i got a bit more... calm maybe? Some things like personal chaos still bugs me and I am not able to handle bad disastrous news when i'm at a fair. Totally. But the rest was okay. I am much more relaxed when it comes to younger new artists and chatting with people.

A Swedish girl -coming all the way down to Germany- really impressed me with her blunt behaviour showing her portfolio at the impossible time of nearly midnight. Some people were pissed off. I was impressed. You really have to have some nerves to dare it. Call it rude, i call it brave.

Next to that i had some nice chats with an agency and some comic sellers. I call it overall a fair i like to visit. It's not as business-like as in Frankfurt and not as nerdy as Cons tend to be.
I saw Tillman (the "Rouge-Man"), friends, fans who are so kind to say Hi every single year and it was a good opportunity to talk about .. i would bore you with details :)

My head is spinning with new ideas.

What is really impressive is that so many people tend to give side blows in their "con reports". It's like you can't freak out, snore, swear and wear weird clothes without somebody is reporting it. Sad but i guess it is like self-adulation performance with all the glory and all fails and all advices nobody wants to have. We will survive anyway, won't we?

So no advice from my side. Just a good night!

always close

Gen asked me some time ago if it was okay to use my Lucky Star Bun to get a tattoo done. Of course I said !YESSS!" but also "Take pics!" I got them today. Pretty tattoo :3 I like it and I'm proud I got under another one's skin.

Elvish text is something personal, so I don't post the translation here. Maybe gen pops up and tells herself. :) It's the firth tattoo of my chubs- hurray :D
