Haha, it looks like Ravenclaw has just taken the lead from Slytherin in the poll: shorelle.deviantart.com/journa… 
Interestingly, Gryffindor is lagging behind even though it's usually by far the most popular House... perhaps like attracts like in this corner of the interwebs? XD
Anyhow, I've been reading Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve which is an excellent YA/fantasy book (flying cities! post-apocalyptic steampunk! many ambiguous characters!) which is probably the first in the genre that has really captured my imagination since Harry Potter. Unfortunately, it is much more depressing, and it seems all I have been reading is depressing war fiction.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it would be nice to have an... upbeat read for a change
Do you have any relatively ~light-hearted~ YA/fantasy books to recommend? (not that soul-crushing things can't happen once in a while, but some rays of hope would be nice -- something with a tone similar to HP...?)

Redbubble store open! \o/
Hi guys! Wow, I haven't used this journal for ages, but just an announcement that I've finally gotten my things organised and opened a Redbubble shop for shirts, mugs, phone cases and other non-print items! :D (yes, I know it's a hundred years too late OTL)
I'm just trialling it out with some older Star Wars stuff, but am planning to add new art/designs to it soon! Thanks again for all your support and advice on this :D
MTFBWY!
star wars tarot deck?
... OKAY SO I haven't actually used this journal feature for years, and this is probably a terrible way to start, but!! I have a weird question to ask, because I’ve had this really random urge to draw a set of Star Wars-related tarot cards for a new project :D A lot of characters seem to fit really well, but I have an admittedly limited knowledge of tarot, and I’m not too sure about some of these choices, especially the ones with question marks. It would be very very awesome if anyone had any comments or ideas too (I’m trying to keep it within movie canon if possible, just for simplicity!)

alas poor tablet
;___; I think my tablet is starting to die, after years of faithful service :( I hope it'll keep kicking for a bit longer, but it's not responding more and more often and getting pretty scratched in some areas...
eep, I haven't had to think about ever replacing it, but now that there's a Wacom Intuos 4 and Intuos 5, is there any advice on if there is a big difference between the two (apart from price :XD:), or recommendations for tablets in general? ahaha, I'm still forever a n00b... *clings to tablet* >
winter is here~
Hi guys! Wow, it's been... about a year since my last update, does anyone even remember me? ;_; *brushes off dust* but hello and thank you to my new watchers! :huggle: (how did this even happen?!)
Anyway, part of the reason for my lack of existence was that I've been working on my final year thesis while working full-time, which has made the past year a really hectic and crazy time >< But I've finally finished university, and am now (fingers crossed) going to be a graduate engineer! :D
But now that I'm freeee from study forever, I'm most excited about finally being able to spend more time working on art and design, because I've really misse

You've probably read this, but the His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman is a must-read. The first novel, Northern Lights, was cinematised as "The Golden Compass"... but I can guess the reasons why they won't be releasing future movies. 
It's somewhat steampunky with airships and such (but not much else), but everyone has a daemon! It's like an animal companion, but they go much deeper than that. What I enjoyed the most is the beautiful world Pullman creates in the eyes of a child. It's very wonderful. <3
