Hospital...Problems with my heart
OK... yesterday I felt really, really, really bad and my parents drew me to the emergency. I had problems with my heart. I was programming my new tutorial for around 2 hours and then I just sit whole day... and my heart suddenly started to beat really fast and strong. I even didn't talk or move myself, cuz my heart beat increased from 100 to 130 beats per minute (normally is around 60-80 when you rest). At the evening was even worse (I would bet that I had around 200 beats... cuz when I had 130 I didn't feel anything). We were at the emergency till midnight and they gave me medication so now I feel a little better. I hope this won't happen ever again. I guess that happened cuz of all problems which happened to me lately, and I had enough of everything

So these days I'll visit doctors a lot... I need to go on X-ray for my heart and to take some tests... so a lot of days I won't be here...
So I want to tell you my watchers that I won't be able to be on internet

A rant...if you willI own a large Peter Max drawing. It is one of my most prized possessions. Because my father knew Max a few of his works ended up in our family. I, of course, inherited the weirdest work in the lot...and that is entirely as it should be. I have always loved it. It is loose and raw and seemingly directionless, yet it seethes with energy and purpose and joy. Many of my family members and friends walk into my home, see it, and wonder aloud what on earth it is supposed to mean. And that is entirely as it should be. I love this work for its unorthodox approach, I love it for breaking the rules, I love it for challenging me and everyone.
This drawing has been a huge inspiration and influence in my life and in my work.
I do not claim to be the best artist or even a good one and it is not my intention to compare what I do to him, but it creates a tremendous amount of ire in me when others claim to decide these things

Music that inspiresI was asked several times if I am inspired by some particular music for my drawings or characters. Well, I AM inspired constantly by music and I just cannot draw without music, but there are some particular pieces who inspired the creation of my own characters. Though some songs' lyrics have nothing to do with their story, still they inspired me for their physic or psychic features.
There are many more than the ones I enlisted below, but these are the most important ones to me!
Enjoy!
And of course if you have music to suggest me, I am all ears!!

thoughts on recent politics...I've been doing a lot of thinking the past few days about some of what has been going on on the political scene.
One thing that struck me was a sermon given by a black preacher in South Carolina just before that state voted to make yet another law against gay marriage... they already had more then one law against it, so of course it was of the utmost importance to spend tax dollars and waste time passing yet another one to make absolutely sure it was really, truly, completely illegal.
The Preacher I spoke of made a very good point... don't ask if you believe in the right of gays to marry... instead ask if it is right or proper for the majority to vote for or against the rights of the minority? I tend to take this idea one step further... should anyone be able, in what is supposed to be a free country, to vote on who should have what rights?
Let's just imagine another scenario... what if someone wanted to pass a law removing religious freedom? What if, majority rule were extended that f

Your favourite art?Hey guys - I'd love to get some recs of your favorite artists around deviantArt!
What I'm specifically looking for is something unique, imaginative, fun, expressive, emotional, whimsical!
Charismatic or storybookish illustration is what I usually enjoy most. Also, while I admire the skill and patience it takes to make very detailed realistic art.. photorealism or superb technique alone doesn't do it for me. Moreover, often the most charming art is very stylized, an interpretation rather than a copy. I need some food for imagination!
That said, feel free to rec me your personal favorite artists or artwork, whichever category they might belong to. Triple bonus if the artist isn't famous at dA! I bet there is tons of underappreciated, marvellous art out there that is not easy to stumble upon.
If I get enough recs I'll do a feature post of them. (:

Devious Journal EntryHello Everyone you might have notice on my page view that I have removed my watcher and friends list along with some special things I set up for some very close friends. I did this because I had someone not to pleasant come in and watch my close friends this person was trouble and the fact that they walk in and started watching very close friends of mine made me mad. Usually I encourage others to watch the wonderful artist I watch. Because I believe in getting others to watch my good friends, but like yesterday pointed out to me oh so very clearly that putting my friends in a special box was an invitation to someone not here to enjoy their works as much as a revenge thing. There are all kinds of vindictive people in this world we should all know I am sure each and every one of you has had a run in with one or two of them in your life times.
As for me I seem to have a more then my share of them, I am a nice person I always try to get along with everyone I have friends that I cherish dee

We wanna check up on your sexual status!Boy, I'm sure glad I spent my whole life slaving away at academics and being career-oriented and eschewing any semblance of a social life so that all my relatives and their friends could just assume that the only thing that matters in my future is finding some dude to shack up with. Thanks for having such faith in me, guys.
Let me back up and explain. This past month or so, through a variety of circumstances, I was reunited with a bunch of relatives/friends of relatives that I haven't seen in a long time. After being cut off from these people for months or in some cases even years, what was the first thing they wanted to ask me about my life?
"So...do you have a boyfriend yet?"
Not, "oh hey Mara, it sure is great that you just graduated from an Ivy League School. Do you have plans for graduate school? What's your career situation right now? What sort of hobbies are you pursuing?" Nope. Nothing about my development as a person. Just, "hey, we wanna check up on your sexual status!" I'm s

I am really pissed right now.As an artist I`m avoiding to give values to the issues I handle. I try to make sense to the caos of behavior by creating physical particles out of motions and experience, something concrete to hang on, and to help identify our social and personal world.
I didn't write this. Damn, I have no idea what sort of crack I would have to smoke to come up with something like this.
http://elisalientola.net/wp-content/gallery/works/arvaamaton.jpg
This is the example of that artist's work, just to give you an idea of what particles and motions look like.
It so happened that I have just been exposed to a huge amount of 'modern art'. Actually my guy wanted to show me some highly ranked abstract artists' bio descriptions on their sites so that I have a nice laugh. And it sort of started out funny, for instance I always get the giggles when people talk about themselves in 3rd person and go on a philosophical spree of how the presence of absence is a presence.
But then I actually

Using techniques... digital & trad. medium

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 14, 2012, 10:01 AM

^{Techniques...
I'm wondering what kind of technique are people using while they draw traditional and digital media... for example: If they draw traditional on the same way as digital (painting, coloring, shading...)...or opposite. Because for me digital and traditional are the same. It was always annoying when teachers in school told me that digital is much easier than traditional...that in digital you just press once with the brush and you already have whole image. Hahaha... that's noooooooot true at all I spend more time drawing digital works than traditional... Then I always say to people like that...Try and see for yourself if it's easier than traditional

Well, what I want to say...and ask. Last years I drew more digital drawings than traditional, so when I started to paint canvas, I drew on the same way as if it would be digital painting...only that I had one layer If you saw my digital tutorials... at first I did basic colors, then I started to draw shadows and highlights...and so on. Exactly the same as digital.

Cuz I drew digital so much my brain changed, so when I draw traditional I always think what would I do if this drawing would be digital... and this technique works for me I want to know if I'm only person like that, or you help yourself with other techniques which you learned too.

People always ask me how I do my digital and traditional work... probably if I would do a tutorial for both stuff, they would be completely the same (only that I wouldn't mention layers anywhere).

Other news
I can't believe that today I actually checked my WHOLE inbox... and all images from people who I watch (I had them like 9000 ). Lately I didn't have time to check all new stuff, so inbox was growing...and growing...and growing Till the number became like 20.000... So today I sit and check them all. So empty inbox I had maybe 1 or 2 years ago

I totally agree with you ! I draw traditionally and digitally, and these technics are very similar. The point is, right now, I can paint traditionally ! Of course, I'm not a master on traditionnal canvas, but I'm not afraid anymore to paint on that surface.

And, I can make an original art easier, because of the digital art. So, NO, digital painting is NOT easier than traditional painting.

*tincek-marincek Mar 17, 2012 Student General Artist

OMG...you're totally the same as me

Even with the
traditional art. Before I was always afraid to draw on canvas,
because I never know if look OK...or if I'll know to paint it
at all. But cuz of digital art I made up concepts and composition
a lot easier...and I'm not afraid to use paints any more

=Mutsumipat Mar 17, 2012 General Artist

Digital painting is THE CURE !!! XD

It's totally my pleasure

*XLEHX Mar 15, 2012 Student

I have such a hard time doing digital...but that's probably because I'm just starting, though I look at digital and painting the same way, since you have to work up to your layers...well, I do

I have to get better...in digital ._____.

*tincek-marincek Mar 17, 2012 Student General Artist

Yea...beginnings at digital are always hard. But when you paint more
and more, then it'll become easier.

*XLEHX Mar 17, 2012 Student

Yeah....hopefully T.T *nods*

*Cynthia-Blair Mar 14, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

When starting a traditional painting many artists paint the entire artwork in monotone, then paint in color on top of that.
Basic principles are the same, but paint is very different from pixels, some effects are very hard to achieve in traditional (perfect gradients and glows, for example, or certain effects like painting with light add + for secular bloom) are terribly hard in traditional. The color gamut is also very different.
I find the depth and variety of physical paint bush strokes hard to reproduce in digital, also the randomness that is characteristic of traditional art. I can't remember ever mistaking one for the other. But I think they complement each other beautifully

If there's one thing I miss when doing traditional work, it's the "Undo"
