I'm going to see Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein in theaters tomorrow and I'm so excited! There is only one theater showing it in my whole state and it's near me! Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is one of my all time favorite classic novels and I've heard the film will be book accurate? Honestly I'm really easy to please so even if it isn't- I think I'll still enjoy it since I have enjoyed GdT's previous work. Oscar Isaac is one of my favorite actors too and I'm looking forward to seeing him play Victor Frankenstein.
EDIT: I have seen it and OMG it was so, so good!!! I have to see it again. It is not fully book accurate though if any of you were hoping. There are some pretty significant changes!
This weekend has been busy for me so I'm not sure I'll get my Sheeztober stuff out until Monday but I'm looking forward to what I have planned. If you're thinking about participating, please go for it!! It isn't too late to make something. It's been super fun seeing which prompts people choose and how they interpret them. My site subscription will be running out soon and I want to give out awards to my fellow participants this week!
I hope you are all having a great weekend :]
I'm going to be switching over to Linux here soon. I think I'll be going with mint & dual boot with Windows, just in case some programs aren't compatible.(I am a copy editor and my field uses Microsoft Word almost exclusively and I'm unsure if that would work properly in Linux. I can't really use alternatives because I have to use whatever the clients provide which is nearly 100% MW or a PDF.)
So in short I'm making this journal to ask what your experiences are with Linux and any advice you'd give to someone switching over from Windows for the first time? :)
Hi everyone,
I find myself in the uncomfortable position of asking for your help. I was laid off from my job at the end of July, just after I had felt comfortable enough to switch my student loan repayment plan. It took me almost 3 years to find employment after graduating college, and now the job market is even worse. If you recall my previous journal - I had an interview with a company. I made it to second rounds and had that interview today. It went great! I did not get the job, despite this.
My loans are beginning to accrue interest. I have paid off my unsubsidized loans, but the rest of my savings don't cover my subsidized loans. I feel truly privileged and thankful that this is the only bill I am responsible for at this time.
I am actively seeking employment, and I am willing to work. My commissions will be opening soon and I am going to use Ko-Fi as a tip or donation jar if you would like to support me.
As a thank you, I will send sketches to anyone who donates.
I know a journal like this may turn off some people, and I apologize. I did not want to have to ask for donations, but I don't want my savings to drain trying to keep up with the interest accrual. I also want to avoid the interest accruing to my original principal, which would make my already paid off loans feel in vain.
Here are some ideas for commission types I have come up with, let me know if they are of any interest to you!
-Icon/PFP (for any platform as long as I have dimensions)
-Boilerplate Tiers (bust, halfbody, fullbody / sketch, flat, render)
-Spotify Playlist Album Covers/Icons
-Adopts (I draw humanoids)
-Post Card Landscapes
*also a little note; I checked the site rules and couldn't find anything against posting a mutual aid thing, so I hope this is allowed. If not I will absolutely delete it :)
I wanted to start a new project so I went to download some new brushes.
Well I ended up dropping a photoshop brush pack into CSP not knowing it was 1500 brushes. And now I have to modify/fix each brush and that was not the only brush pack I wanted π So that project is going to take a WHILE.
One of my physical hobbies is bead making. I tried to make some out of plastic bags the other day and while it DID work- it's way too difficult. Back to magazines and paper scraps for me. I don't really post about my physical hobbies on here because I'm not quite sure how? Other than taking a picture I suppose. I've thought about making some videos or tutorials but I've never been very? tech literate when it comes to video editing.
In other news I have a job interview on Monday and I am SO NERVOUS. I have not had to interview for quite some time and my last job was gained through networking >.< I am not good at talking myself up and I'm extremely introverted. I am also still unsure about taking the job if it's offered to me.
Life is busy and difficult. How are you doing? Any new projects or tribulations?
