Art Recs, Painted Spired, Ollian

My Own Spires Entry, Projects, To-Do List


My own Spires idea took a turn into a completely different direction than what I planned last night. Odd how that is, since I'm enjoying it quite a bit but it's so very different. Far more friendly and less technical then I had initially planned.

Also, since it's supposed to be John centric, do you think they'd mind me sneaking other characters in?

I'm amazingly awake considering the fact that I only slept for 4 hours. I got a large portion of my first Spires entry done as well as a lot of Tweaking on [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn's Heroes project.

Art Recs

As you probably know [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires has started and the first entries have started flowing in. Here are a few I truly enjoyed.



The Ollian


I also watched a large portion of the Ollian vids again and have decided that you all should suffer with me. I'm hopeless ;) [livejournal.com profile] frogspace got my hopelessly readdicted to the German soap Opera "Verbotene Liebe." Or rather, the pairing Oliver/Christian.

It always took just one pairing ;) Its basically a coming out story, but I think for a soap, the language aside, it's wonderfully done. And really you should all watch it. People make it easy for you.

There are clips in chronological oder with and without subtitles on youtube. And there is already a wonderful community which helps you with where you need to start. Find out more here


Placebo is my Overall Top Artist on last.fm. That is so very wrong!

ETA: I accidentally killed my layout!!! It's very dead and this is an old one... which I'm not sure if like :/

It's incredible. I wish I could do that. Or I wish I'd get cover art like that for my fanfics :D

Whee! I wanna see it too. Actually, I'm tempted to get my tablet out again and see if I can't try myself. But I haven't drawn in ages, besides, no way I'll ever be that good ;-)

Oh no! You beat me to the fanart recs! I just made exactly the same entry. Well, almost. *g* My Oliver/Christian rambling will follow in a separate post. :P

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs* I don't think they would complain about getting recs ;) But cool that you chose the same. I'm scared about mine now. Because I had close to no time! I invested 3 hours so far. That isn't all that much, I think.

And I wish I could draw, especially with a graphic tablet. I'm really jealous ;)

And i've been thinking. I have no idea what's better. Having a joint post, or doing it seperate. Awww..the ollian. hope tonights episode will havesome!

Don't expect them before Friday. ;) I know, I know, we had one surprise appearance already and the Giga interview, but the spoilers say we won't get to see them before then.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
Friday? That is evil, I don'twant to wait that long!!! *sniff*
Ic can rewatch the kissing vids 10 times of course. But that isn't quite the same.

[identity profile] miriam.livejournal.com 2008-04-23 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
And I thought I was the only crazy one going YAY! for Oliver/Christian. :P Thanks so much for the link!

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
Heeeee..... I think there is no crazy about this.
I foudn this giga interview so funny when they said that it seems liek mostly women are fans of Christian/Oliver and I almost felt like..don't you know about slash fandom!!!!

[identity profile] miriam.livejournal.com 2008-04-27 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I am just really glad for your "help," because now I can watch the whole story in one go without having to watch the whole show itself. I mean, I used to be an avid watcher when the show started and even years after that, but now I just don't feel it anymore all in all, just occasional eps in case my mom is watching it (which she does every day of the week).

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2008-05-06 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
I've gotten ooked again..or rather..I'm watching all just to know what's going on. But some stuff... just...it's baaaad!

I can't believe I'm watching "Verbotene Liebe", but I am. The boykissing cannot be resisted.

Not at ALL!!!! *cough*
Hopefully we will get some new canon soon... <3
