Is it madness?

So tonight while I was watching the Voice I started prepping the patterns for cloth dolls, but I don't know that I have the fabric for them yet around. I'll have to check, but I might have to wait for payday to pick up proper fabric before I actually start on that project.
Some Voice ramble (is anyone else here still watching?)
It was was alright, I was suprised that one country boy stayed on- I mean he's nice enough but he's not that good... but I can't even be mad about it because he genuinely seems nice. Also I was really happy that Kat got saved but that's mostly because of how hopeful Adam was to keep her. I never got attached to anyone this season, though I do like the youtube girl and that one guy on Usher's team. Also the girl on Shakira's team. Those people are all still there, so yay! Though the fact that I don't know any of their names doesn't really say good things for how involved I'm in this season.

So then I went back to my sculpting! I needed to edit the head armature a bit again, which is sort of difficult when I have sculpt on it already. But it was too close to the jawline, and I finally decided to deal with it. I took out a piece and then resculpted the area and I'm way happier now. Then randomly I decided it was time to add an ear! So I sculpted an ear on. Scottie was amused when I said I was using an actual photo reference of his ear. He was like "I'm not surprised that there is a picture of Hiddles ear..." and I was like "Well, it wasn't a picture of just his ear, it was a picture of him that happened to have a good view of his ear..." but then we both agreed that there are probably pictures of just his ear somewhere.


Graaaaaaaaah?

Also tonight I watched Agents of SHIELD and it was amazeballs I can't wait for the finale eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thoughts under a spoiler cut

Coulson was completely adorbs when he was looking at all the old tech, and also when he was undercover. I loved the file download too. xD
Fitz kept breaking my heart with his hopes.
I don't know what I think about Evil!Ward just yet. He also sort of breaks my little heart.
Of course, I'm watching Marvelverse where a thing I say often is "That's ok I didn't need my heart anwaaaaaay"

I also watched a couple episodes of the animated Avengers Assemble series (which is like my other most favourite series right now wut?), and they were also totes amazeballs. xD
The first episode I watched was Doomstroyer, which started out with a bit with the Destroyer (not surprising...) and then Thor went to get help from Asgard, which had me on the edge of my seat because I thought I might know what was coming. And I was right. LOKI! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So will you be bowing to me now, or later? I'll also accept a simple thank you. And then bowing.
Of course, cue my unintelligble fangirling. Scottie says that for his sake they should never come out with a Loki movie because I will end up having a brain aneurysm and he loves me and would prefer me to not do that. Of course I disagreed and said that I wouldn't, and it should totes be a thing, and it should be a thing like nao. WAAAAAAANTS

Then there was another episode that we watched with Impossible Man, which was hilarious. Scottie and I talked about what would happen if Loki, Impossible Man, and Deadpool teamed up. Loki would get so frustrated with them though. xD

Also watched Henson's Creature Shop, I haven't been writing my thoughts on that though for a while. It's been interesting! (I was thinking though today that I missed Face-Off, and now JHCS will be done soon too boo. I know Face-Off will be back soon but still.)

I have felt really sick for much of today, so all of the Marvel amazing-ness was very welcome in making me feel better.

Time for bed!

This seems appropriate

I am so tired I'm going to diiiiie. Did some sculpting though on my Loki face, I'm liking how that's coming along.
Watched Agents of Shield, which was amazing!

But let's get to my Ask Me Anything question before I pass out. I can barely concentrate enough to remember my train of thought as it's happening. ...SQUIRREL! Oh my god of mischief all the distractions around me are going to make it so I never finish this entry and sleep I can't multi-task right now I can barely single task

Why did you start a livejournal? leia131

Hmm... various reasons I suppose.

Well, I'd always wanted a journal- I'd tried to keep various paper journals growing up but it never really stuck. But still I liked to write and journal of important events (or even unimportant events) seemed like a nice idea.
So then I started a Deadjournal (I think) because livejournal still had codes and I needed a friend code. x3 But I didn't end up doing a whole lot with that, so my online journaling didn't really get going until I got a friend code from the amazing conuly, and friends of mine from Neocolours were also here. :3

Also I was kinda lonely and in a poor family environment, and I've never been good with expressing my feelings. I am waaaay better at expressing my feelings in writing and... well you probably know how hit and miss that is.
I can't remember where I was going with this. The woman on the Seth Meyers is talking about her boobs what is going on here
OH RIGHT! WORDS. About my feelings. Oh dear.
Anyway, I wanted a place to put my feelings down, or at least try to. I think it's helpful! Shoot, I can barely talk to Scottie about my feelings without making a big mess of what I'm trying to say and I trust him implicitly. I was raised to conceal don't feel, so it's difficult for me to not bottle. But when I started this journal I didn't have Scottie yet.

Now I have the journal as a place to show my artsy things too, and I'm a lot better with the social aspect of the journal too. I love you guys!

Why did you start your journal friends?

I don't know if this entry even makes any sense. o_o'

yaaaaay sleepy gibberish
I'm going to finish up and pass out. xP

(Scottie says that I'm very devoted to my followers, since I'm still up and typing and not in bed like I look like I should be, ehehehe)

So tonight I continued working on my Loki sculpt. I've started roughing in the other side of the face, and worked on the other as well. I really need to get a mouth on there soon because the placeholder mouth is sort of driving me nuts. I got more reference pictures and I think I'm going to resculpt the eyes because I'm not happy with them. I did some surgery on the head core since the head didn't end up in exactly the proportion I originally intended and so the core wasn't exactly in the right spot. I spent a fair bit of my sculpting time tonight actually getting that fixed up, which made me nervous because I was afraid I was going to smush his whole face on accident.


Soon you will have an entire face!

Watched the Voice tonight. I liked that the first song was Happy by Pharrell. People on twitter had said it should be Hiddles' theme song, and I like that thought.

You just keep on being adorbs Hiddles~
Plus it's a fun song. I'm not sure there was anything else in particular that jumped out at me.

I really liked the Blacklist tonight. :3

So now she knows that her hubby isn't what he seems, which should be interesting moving forward.
But the last bit with the music box and Reddington hit me in the feels. It seriously made the entire episode for me.
I really love James Spader's character. Scottie likes him too. It will be interesting to know more about why he is the way he is.

Watched Believe tonight too. Scottie said that he was impressed by the way they are pacing out the show. They're not info-dumping so much that it feels like an info-dump, but they've put a lot of stuff out there and it's only on it's third episode. Also, they've maintained an air of mystery. Also, I like the two main characters quite a bit.

Time for bed~

So tonight I worked a bit more on roughing out Loki's face. It needs a lot of work, I know, but here's the progress for today. xD


In the background you can see Loki!Pony and Lala!Pony

I also watched the first Voice battles tonight! It was entertaining. Still nobody has exactly grabbed me. I'm hoping that someone does so I can have a horse in this race. I mean, there are good singers but nobody that I really care deeply for.

I watched the Blacklist tonight. Brief ramble under cut:
It was rather interesting. It's too bad that the captured dude (I forget what his name was) that was tied to the chair didn't have Natasha's moves lol. He might have fared a bit better. The girl was way too trusting in that scene. And the husband was super creepy.

I respected the guy at the end tossing the blade to his former best friend to kill perform seppuku. If anyone caused me to lose Scottie something along those lines would be the best they could expect from me, consequences after would be irrelevant.

I really like James Spader's character.

Also, today I started a twitter RP account in addition to my regular twitter account. This was in part due to me following RP accounts, and while I could have fun talking to them I figured it would be more fun to have a full on RP account. Now, the last time I did RP in this fashion was back when I lived at home still. o_O I mean, I still RP but it's in more structured environments (DnD, Pathfinder, etc). But this is the first time that I've really done RP on twitter. I'm afraid that I'm going to do wrong things. n_n' It was fun though so far!
I've also been thinking about doing a tumblr RP blog (obviously this is something I've been thinking about), but since I spend part of my day at work on twitter as well as during my walk home it's just convenient for me.


This is relevant for reasons you don't know about, but regardless have a Hiddles~

I'm rather beat, I don't know if I'm making any sense. My walk home today was ridiculous because the snowstorm over the weekend made the trails I walk a mess, and the sidewalks mostly had all the snow off the roads just piled onto them. e_e I actually had to take a lot of detours to get around, which took extra time.

We went to the store tonight to pick up some soda and a couple other groceries. While we were there we went down the Easter candy isle. Scottie saw plastic eggs of pop rocks, and he was so excited about them and it was THE CUTEST THING. I was like "do you want some?" and he looked tempted but unsure. HE LOOKED SO CUTE I WANTED TO PUT THE ENTIRE SHELF OF POP ROCK EGGS IN THE CART. I don't know how to explain how he looked exactly but <3.
But then he saw a package of dipping stick candies, and was even more excited by that! That was a part of some of his better childhood memories, so yay for actual nostalgia? xD (I think we both have mostly anti-nostolgia) We did pick up that package of candy. I swear I wanted to buy him every candy. x3

My best way to describe the cute is to relate it to Hiddles and sweets. Hiddles just reminds me so much of Scottie. :D

Tonight did some more sculpting, but I only had enough time to make the second front gauntlet. Still not bad though. n_n
While I was sculpting though we put on the Late Show with Seth Meyer, and he announced that Tilda Swinton was going to be on the show. That made me very excited because they would probably also talk about Only Lovers Left Alive, and I wasn't disappointed!

They showed part of this clip. ehehehe :3 I was especially excited because for a wierd reason I've only seen a dub of this specific clip before. xD (And I love Hiddles' voice, and am sort of a snob about dubs as it is lol, so yeah.)

Tonight I watched Perception with Scottie, I enjoyed the episode! I'm so sad that the season finale is coming up so soon. I really do love this show. I <3 Daniel. :3
I was also so excited to see Beth Riesgraf (Parker from Leverage) guesting on the show. I was especially amused that they had worked the word leverage into her lines. xD Thoughts about the show under a spoiler cut. :3

I could see why she did what she did. From what they said, and what she said, she was 100000% convinced that her liar love was actually in the CIA, and if the story came out it exposing him as a fraud that would expose him to the people actually out to get him, and he'd be tortured and killed. I mean, you'd hope that she would see that it wasn't true, but as she didn't I can't say I fault her actions. I would do anything to protect Scottie.

Brain is still a bag of cats, but it's erm, improving somewhat?


Time for sleep~

You guys, I am so excited Pony!Loki has his diadem!
First I sculpted the details:


Then I got the horns attached (which was tricky!).


I actually modelled the diadem on my design for my own cosplay diadem- just a lot smaller! Also the shape is a bit different because some of the side details wouldn't work on the pony version. The helmet is currently cooling, I just pulled it out of the oven. Of course I baked it off separate from the Pony!Loki himself, because I never intended the armour to be permantely attached- and as such have already done much of the painting. Now I just hope nothing got moved during baking so it still fits properly!

Loki needs to be fabulous of course.

I've finally gotten all of my ponies up on dA except for Pony!Loki, tomorrow hopefully I can get Loki on there too, and just keep my dA up to date. It would be so much easier to upload them in real time, I'm trying to be better about keeping that updated.

Also, so much tv tonight! There were more Voice blinds, which I listened to while I was sculpting. I really like the Voice especially to have one while I'm doing crafts. It's even less necessary to look at the tv! lol

We also watched the season premiere of Rizzoli and Isles and Perception.
For Rizzoli and Isles, I've never been afraid of clowns, but the clown on this episode was pretty creepy. Does anyone actually like clowns? I don't remember really liking them as a kid, though at least I didn't find them scary.
I was REALLY REALLY excited for the next season of Perception, and I was so happy that it was renewed for a second season. I <3 Daniel so much. x3 I also find him so relatable.
I thought the model trains were especially interesting though since Scottie has actually been talking about wanting to get into model trains.

SO MUCH TV STARTING BACK UP THOUGH OMG. lol

Just a quick entry as holy kau it's late, but I was just so excited to start on Pony!Loki's armour. I'm starting with Loki's bracers, these will go on his forelegs. I've just done the one side so far, and I'll definitely use paint to help bring out the detail after baking. Also I'm probably going to add moar battle scarring. (Those gashes are totes intentional!) I should probably take a closer picture of the detail, but that's not going to happen quite yet. n_n'


I suppose that will suffice.


I do need a closer view, you can't really see but there is a snake in the top right corner.

This isn't the best view of what they look like for reference, but I like this anyway. *koff*


Tonight I watched curling with Scottie tonight! I think that's a really interesting sport. I just wish they didn't have to jump ahead in the game so much, we're actually interested in seeing how they get to the points where it's "exciting". xD

Also watched Lost Girl, but I shouldn't get into that quite yet.

I did end up making the mane of Pony!Loki yesterday, but I just didn't get to post about it quite yet. I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out. :3 I'd started it on Friday actually, but I only got the core started before I ended up having issues with dizzyness.
I had been rather excited though about how well the covered core actually worked all by itself for Loki out of the first Thor lol. But here it is finished! I need to bake it, and then I can start on painting. Or maybe I should do armour first. I'll have to think about how exactly I want to do things.



( One more picture )

Also, today was the Superbowl! I've never actually watched the Superbowl before. lol I mean, I sort of did once when I was still at Signal and me and Scottie went to a Superbowl potluck, but I was really there for the potluck and the socializing. And alchohol. ehehehe n_n'
I decided that I wanted to watch the Superbowl though because I knew that Hiddles was going to be on a Jaguar commercial (british villians, #GoodtobeBad) and I wanted to see it. I had to laugh about it because I've never watched the Superbowl for the sports OR the ads before. But there I was! Scottie's not a huge sports fanatic, so he usually doesn't mind that I'm disinterested in most sports, but I think he was excited that I was actually excited to put on a sports thing. lol He watched the game with me. :3 I only wish the game had been more interesting for him!
I sort of paid attention to the game, but I honestly had more fun looking at the silly commercials while flailing around with fellow Hiddlestoners on twitter waiting for Hiddles to appear. xD

It was so worth it!

There was supposed to be an ad for Muppets Most Wanted on the Superbowl, but I didn't see it. I'm not sure if it got replaced by a local ad or what, but I was kind of bummed. But I did watch the spot on youtube afterward, and it was hilarious. xD What I found really funny though was that I switched to the Puppy Bowl after the Superbowl was off, and I saw a special spot for Muppets there which included Hiddles. EVERYONE WAS TARGETING ME LOL.

Hiddles looks like Steve here. Also, more Hiddles in chains. *koff*

bb why does everyone want to put you in chains?

I had way more fun than I was expecting though! I liked the halftime show with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers quite a lot! I also liked all the fireworks, and the Broncos even lead the team out with a horse!
There were other fun commercials too besides the ones with Hiddles. I saw the spot for Captain America 2, Spider-Man 2, plus ads with Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle (Colonel James Rhodes/War Machine). Outside of my Marvel bbs, the spot with Morpheous was awesome, and Colbert was hilarious.

Also, Scottie and I made homemade nachos for the day! He made a fresh salsa and we made our own chips. He actually started before I woke up, and he took some pictures before I woke up because he knew that I'm all about pictures. :3
He's such a sweetie! Also, I say Scottie and I made the nachos, but really I'm his sous chef. xD

( Food porn )


The finished plate of nachos! They were so good. :D

Apparently, I had a lot of things to say. xD

Just a quick update post! I haven't been feeling very well this evening, which isn't really helpful for posting. n_n'

But I repaired Pony!Loki! I carved off the edges from the head and ear (which fixed the problems from it baking bent), and then I sculpted the ear back onto the head. I was going to just sculpt on a whole new ear if that didn't work, but since I liked the way the first ear had turned out I was at least going to try to repair the original ear. Since I knew I was going to do a short bake on the sculpt anyway, I also did some more sculpting around the hooves and legs.
I baked him, and everything seems to have turned out alright! Now tomorrow I'll be able to start on the next stage. :3


I watched the most recent episode of Face-Off tonight! I was super excited about the dragon make-ups they were doing. I really loved the frozen dragon! So happy that won. I was also amused that the seahorse dragon girl was so positive that she was going home, which I understand because she had a lot of issues, but she didn't even end up on the bottom. That says a lot for the sculpt that she was able to get out there. I totally agreed with what they said about the dragon that was sent home- I mean he had a lot of work there but the first thing I said when I saw it was that it didn't read as a dragon to me. It looked like cross between a yappy dog and a fish wearing armor.
I don't remember anyone's names yet, but I liked that the guy that picked the Frozen theme was excited about recognizing the location for Stark's house. xD

Also continued watching Helix, is anyone else watching that show on here? I like the concepts, and I really want to like the show, but I have issues with the choices that they make on the show. Since they're supposed to be a group of exceptionally smart people you'd think that they'd make less stupid decisions. xP
On the premeire I'd tweeted about the show and one of the actresses had favorited them, which was really neat to me. ehehehe n_n'
Scottie said the most recent episode made him think that the show was originally intended to be set in space, and that makes a lot of sense!

Today is Scottie's (tanvan) birthday! Well, at the time of this posting it was yesterday as it's after midnight, but ya'know what I mean. n_n'

I had an idea to make him a pendant. It might be a little silly, and I don't really think it's for actual wearing, but it could be hung somewhere. n_n'
I wanted to make him something that looks like the pendant that Tony gives to Pepper at the end of Iron Man 3 (because Scottie is totes my Pepper).


I wanted to include a bluebird because I'd given Scottie the bluebird sculpt as an earlier gift because it's the bluebird of happiness.
( Beginning sculpt pic )
I might make another one later because I think something more like real jewelry is what I'd want to really do, and the transparent clay that I used for the heart didn't turn out as clear as I'd have wanted after I'd added the red clay. But still, I think it turned out alright. Here it is before baking, presented by Cupid! The bluebird will need paint. :3
