A fairy tale from hell's caves.

Hello :D

Sorry for being late once more! I needed a few days to recover from the strenuous weekend and the ride home (8 hours to drive from here ... but it was so worth every minute ..)

So at first you get to see the finished 2nd artwork I took with me that I wasn't able to post anymore because I was in a hurry to pack and leave then:

The "draw this again" actually turned out pretty well. I like it much more than the first version from which I now think "omg how could I ever show this to anyone!?" xD

So to the vacation now! :D
First of all - Morgan and Terry loved my pictures and made me blush with their compliments ... I'm so happy I was able to make them happy ^_^ (Stupid sentence, I know.)

On friday we arrived around .. phew I don't know anymore must have been 9 am or so just to get to know from my friend that we could enter the hotel earliest 2 pm. Meaned having to kill 5 hours until we could go over there... so we first went to the beach and then parked in front of that bar we'd visit on sunday and switched on the radio / tried to sleep. I almost went nuts anyway before because there's no free parking spots in Viareggio. But we later on got a cheap 4 day parking ticket from the hotel so this problem was solved for now. Communication also was made safe so the vacation could begin :D

In late afternoon then we met up with this incredible guy, first going to drink something, talking about god and the world and giving out my little presents :)
Then Morgan came with two incredibly fluffy doggies and we went to eat something together, again having our fun and talking until after midnight.
Back at the hotel then nobody of us wanted to say goodbye fist but we had to go to bed because we wanted to go to Florence on saturday. (Ok I actually didn't want on the next day because I was kinda hung over from the evening before... ^^°) But anyway.

On saturday then we went to Florence ... running and running, having some ice cream and running again. (I must say italian ice cream is really delicious :D) What really impressed me in Florence was these rooms in Palazzo Pitti that looked like they were some some figurative artwork but in truth they were painted! Totally incredible. And it shows that 3D art isn't just a trend of these days but was used already long ago :D

In the evening then the train had some problems and we arrived back at Viareggio later than planned ... but that didn't keep me from dressing up and go out to eat another time with my heroes :D It again was an incredible evening I will never be able to forget again :) Afterwards I fell into bed dead-tired but happy as a kid that just got candy :D

Sunday we first went to Pisa, trying to do the famous "I keep the tower from falling" - pose but I somehow failed big time =_= Nobody's going to see that photo ever xD 

I hurried up to get back then because we'd watch one of the famous sunday jams at the Corsaro Rosso then :D Ok I was tired as hell already when we arrived there but it was still an awesome evening where in the end I asked for a memory photo since we didn't know if it would work to meet up again on the next day. It took like I don't know, 7 or 8 tries until the camera did what we wanted but that didn't disturb me the least bit =^_^= 

It's incredible what voice is there in someone so graceful O_O Truly. I sat there with my mouth open thinking woah. Awesome.

And this is the memory photo with the probably most wonderful being walking this earth (nah actually it's two of them. Morgan is just as wonderful as Terry :) I love them both more than words can say <3) Kudos to my friend here who actually made it then to defeat my camera and shoot this wonderful photo :D

So yeah ... on sunday we had to leave the hotel at around 11 am then and I didn't wanna walk around that much anymore so I decided to stay in the car after we went to the harbour because I wanted to save my power for the drive home and my friend ran through the small side streets while I tried to sleep a little but couldn't in the end because Terry would appear another time at around 2 pm. So we would go for a little breakfast and to the beach then, making already plans for my next vacation there before he had to leave. So ... yeah. I didn't really wanna go. I had already fallen in love, also with the breathtaking landscape there... but see yourself:

I want to move there ... seriously =_= If I ever have enough money left. Until then I will save to go there again. For at least a week. Especially because it's so damn cold here in germany o.O There it's ... nah ok you get roasted in the sun and frozen in the shadows xD But anyway better than here at home. We'll see.
All in all it was an unforgettable time that was like some kind of dream or out of some story I used to write in my earlier days ... just unbelievable. I believe in the good in mankind again. Honestly. :)

So far for now. I'll now keep recovering (oh damn am I lacking sleep...) and will finish a commission and grab a new one then ... need to save money, I need to go to the south again, come what may! O_O xD

See you next time! :)

Cabbage and turnips.

Hello =)

Things are going haywire here at the moment, I have a lot to do with the preparations for the journey to italy next week :D One of my tasks to do is to draw my guest gifts.  I wanna take 2 portraits with me for my 2 very special people I'm gonna visit with my friend ^_^

The first one's already finished:

Morgan Lacroix <3 Isn't she beautiful? *__* (Not my drawing but she herself) She's so damn awesome, I can't wait to see her :D :D

As for the other half ... I'm still working on it and I need to hurry up... only 6 days left =_= Here's some WIP's:

Yeah you've already seen this one, haven't you? ;) I'm drawing this again because the last time I ruined the chin in the end and I promised to do a better one :) But I'm not sure if this is gonna work, that pic gives me big problems especially the nose =_= We'll see. I don't give up all hope yet.

So everything that's left to do for vacation now is finishing that drawing, repeat as much italian as I can from my language course and get my car checked, oil and tires changed and then off to the south! :D I know this weekend will be damn awesome :D I'll put up some photos when I'm back!

I've also got a new hairdo yesterday since I was so fed up of that monotone one-color thing ... though the strands could have a been thicker ... well. Next time. (Yeah showing myself, you haven't seen me for a long time now! :D)

Yeah, so far for now. I'll carry on with my preparations now, see you all next time with a nice pile of photos from bella italia! ^_^
