Dance, baby!!

I have made myself a vow last weekend. I would create something graphic every day that is NOT work related. And I would try out new stuff. So addition to some True Blood icons (seriosuly!!) I made this artwork for So you think you can dance. Because I love dance. Yeah.and I know Dance Day is tomorrow and not today...

It's Jeanie Mason from season 4. I really liked her a lot.


1600x1200px



I'm still loving this season of So you think you can dance. Even though most of my favorites except Robert are gone. Maybe I will post my favorite routines.
i'm so glad Jose is finally gone. I thought his last 3 shows were painful. Except for Billy. I will miss him. His last routine was amazing. As was Roberts. I like the serious stuff far better from him oddly enough.

Kent really needs to stop explaining himself when he makes mistakes. Just nod and get better like the others do. Even though heis improving immsensely and not making weird faces in every routine.

I am very sad that Billy had to go. But I am very happy that Lauren is still there. I love Robert and Kent.

OMG, Jose was awkward to watch. They should have sent him home last week.

That wallpaper is wonderful. I really love your style. :)

They should have let him get home weeks ago... but why Billy. I will miss him!!!!!

Am happy about Lauren though. And very much abrout Robert.

And thank you!!! I'm trying to perfect certain things. We will see if I will be able to the way I want it. Been very busy just painting stuff on my tablet.

that is such a good goal, creating something outside of work each day. i know i get so busy with the work i'm doing that i don't get to do create other things that i might want to.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2010-08-02 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes..and so far I've been able to, even when I was very busy. Even if it is just a small thing at work.

And I know exactly. Sometimes when you create all day there is just no energy left. But I hate stagnation and I just have to get out of this funk!

No clue about the show, but I like the lighting and the "movement" effect of the wallpaper. :D

Heee.thank you!!! If you like dance you should watch it. Otherwise it might not be your thing ;)

It usually depends on who's doing the dancing. But I guess more likely not then. ;)

rofl... well..who should be dancing then?

Callum. :D

Okay, I like watching him lean against walls, so no matter what he does, I love watching it. :D

I also enjoyed the vid of Tim and Matt dancing that went around last week. :D

But yeah, I am not a big fan of dancing per se. Pretty sure it is because I don't know anything about it and it is not easily measured who is best. I am kind of a competitive sports person. ;)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
rofl.. so it's not a matter of the dance, but of who is doing the dancing ;)

And really? What sports?

That's what I said up there. ;p

Most of all I love team sports.

I actively follow my teams in the first German football and second hockey league. I used to play both (not for the teams I am following now) as a kid for a while. So the sports are dearest to me. :)

I also usually watch handball and basketball during world cups and sometimes random league matches, but I have no team there.

I love field hockey at the Olympics.

I also follow some competitive individual sports.

The grand slam tennis tournaments, table tennis championships (the only sport I can still do on the same level as back when I was slim. Or well, not so fat ;p) track and field athletics championships and Olympic games.

I also randomly watch other sports. Especially at the Olympics and during world cups.

I think you could even make me watch a cricket match (or well, parts of one if it goes longer than a day) and I would not really hate sitting through it, cause I could maybe figure out the rules and judge the teams myself.

As long as I can decide who is good and don't have to rely on judges, I enjoy a sport. And yeah, if I really threw myself into dancing, I guess I could see who is doing what better than whom and why they get higher rankings than the others, but I do not want to invest that time and thus the sport isn't interesting to me. Also, at least with figure skating it was that sometimes even professionals couldn't follow the judges, so why bother? ;)

But yeah, I watch a lot of sports. Or well, I have a lot of sports running in the background while I spam LJ. ;p

BILLY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I mean, it was obvious Lauren would stay. And she is amazing and I'm glad she's still around but... Billyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ;_;

ugh, I fear Robert may be cut next week. He's been in the bottom a lot. Voting fail ;_;

At this point I am rooting for Lauren to win this. Anyone but Kent actually. And Kent is improving, as you said, but... just no. You'd just know he only won because every 14yo girl out there thought he was adorable. -.-

pretty wall. I'm looking forward to your other creations :)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2010-08-02 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yes exactly!!! Why! It's just not fair. :(

I'm sor surprised Robert wasn't in the bottom 3. But I'd rather loose AdeChike. And yes... all the kids are possibly voting for him. But as they say..favorite and not best dancer...

And more will come soon!

Thank you!!!!!!

I have made myself a vow last weekend. I would create something graphic every day that is NOT work related

haha, nice one! That was my new years resolution to keep it up all year and I made it six months, so... there's the bar :P

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2010-08-02 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, 6 months is very impressive, I have to say. I hope I can reach that quota *g*

[identity profile] fly-meaway.livejournal.com 2010-08-02 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a great vow, I have to say. Especially if you make graphics for work-related things, it seems important to also keep on doing that just for the fun of it. And really, this wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous. The swirls and the coloring of it look so amazing and only add to the feel of the entire piece. It feels so alive and it's just absolutely stunning :D

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2010-08-03 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much!!! That is exactly what I was going for.
And it so is..especially if you want o get better.
