Updates

Some very traumatic events have taken place in my life and I am currently left very stressed out and very depressed. With that said, I am at the point where I just want to shut everything out of my life, so I will most likely be deleting my tumblr's within the next couple days. Thanks.

Not journey related, but still art related! I am going to promote a few of my friends, because their art deserves to be noticed <3

This is a friend of mine, and I think she deserves more exposure than Facebook! Check her out at:

Hoot Hoot <3

[owlinthedesert]

Owl & Hoot are ready to begin!

I am not going to tell anyone exactly how they met, I would rather answer that as I draw out my responses to my audience, but I will give you some basic information:

Owl: Owl is a third tier white cloak, her cloak is made entirely out of feathers that can become ruffled when she gets rattled. They smooth out to look like cloth when she is settle. Her scarf is a little tattered because she is not very good at flying, which makes it hard for her to fit in with the other white cloaks. She also uses her scarf to communicate in a very limited vocabulary, as the only words that ever come out of her actual mouth are "hoot". She also likes to draw in the sand & snow, and has tried using that as a means to communicate to her companions, but most are too impatient for silly things. Her faceplate is uncommon and resembles a beak.

Owl is a very friendly and very shy journeyer, she loves companionship, but is often awkward and misunderstood and it creates trouble making lasting companionships with others. She will often hide and watch others, and she is especially enamored with wayfarers that can soar into the skies, as she often dreams of being able to one day soar into the stars herself. She loves to parade around the bridge, desert, and city during the late evening and night, as she loves being able to catch the sun setting over the ruins and then sitting back to look up at the stars at night.

Hoot: Hoot is a little red carpet who used to be a second tier red cloak. He was traveling with a companion in the desert and they had lured the carpets to the portal, when his companion sat down for their history lesson, Hoot had fallen behind to play with the carpets. Since the portal had already been set off by his companion when they sat down, he got stuck in limbo between dimensions. One of the carpets he and his companion had been playing with had followed them into the portal, and Hoot and the carpet somehow combined. Hoot now spends his days wandering the desert and chasing the other carpets and burying himself in the sand. He is very mischievous and very playful, and often likes to play tricks on the wayfarers roaming the desert. Since he used to be a wayfarer himself, he can communicate with the other wayfarers and also the other carpet creatures (including the carpets themselves of course). He can sometimes get a little carried away and has often been called 'the siren of the desert'.

1. What is your favorite film/television series?

OMG. Do I have to choose just one? I suppose I can just rattle on about my favorite genre's instead, since naming off just one or the other could drive me to write a novel! I absolutely LOVE classic science fiction and monster movies (ex: classic star trek / godzilla). I also enjoy documentaries, especially nature & travel related!  

2. What was your first exposure to anime?

Oh god, probably in my very early teens. The first anime I ever saw was Astro Boy and then Sailor Moon!

3. What is the title of your favorite book?

This is another hard one since my entire house could be considered a library, but I am gonna have to go with "Where the Wild Things Are". That book has defined who I am today.

4. Favorite generation of Pokemon? (If applicable)

Ahhhhhh, well I really like Bulbasaur (+ their evolutions), but I also have a special place in my heart for Cubone, Charizard, Blastoise, Arbok, Nidoran's (+ their evolutions), Oddish (+ their evolutions), Abra, Shellder (+ evolutions), Ghastly (+ evolutions), Koffing (+ evolutions), Staryu, Magikarp, Totodile (+ evolutions), Mareep, Kingdra, Mawhile, Sharpedo, Wailord, annnd pretty much the whole lot of them because they are pocket sized monsters, and I love monsters, let alone ones that can fit in my pocket <3

5. What is your favorite and least favorite food?

My favorite food is food and my least favorite food is gross.

6. If you could choose to live in any time period (past/present/future), which would it be?

The late 60s up through the 70s and on into the 80s. Hands down. The 20s are a close runner up because of the jazz era and mafia style (1920s New York <3).

7. Do you cosplay?

I dunno if I would ever cosplay head on (mainly because it is expensive and spendy and I dunno how to stitch and sew anything of my own), but I love wearing the costumes of characters made into everyday wears (shirts, hoodies, hats, shoes, bags, accessories, etc). Otherwise, I just like to admire and lock things away in my wish list.

8. What is your Myers-Briggs personality type?

ISFP

9. What are your hobbies?

making cardboard box cities, pots & pans armor, sailing the blanket sea, making paper towel telescopes, adventure, sitting with nature, traveling, taking pictures, imagination, sketching, internet, vidya games, movies, books.

Owl City <3. I also enjoy The Goo Goo Dolls, Enya, most animated movie & video game soundtracks, and anything classic jazz.

Changed my username to something more appropriate for the context of this blog : )

Accounts

This account will now be used for my ask blog for my Journey related characters Owl & Hoot. I will also be using this as my primary Tumblr account for posting my art in general.

If you would like to get more personal, I have stolen a friend of mine's username and made an account for myself based on it: http://deersinthewoods.tumblr.com/

I also stole her PSN with basically the same username, since she no longer uses it, and I felt it lined up pretty well with me anyway, so you might see poking around on that account during events from time to time : ).

Feel free to add me there or here, otherwise, you can still catch up with me on this account!

Hello, everyone!

I like to create Journey scarves. It was something I did for a cosplay and discovered it was my favorite part to make. Since then I have done scarves as gifts and then eventually for art trade.

I am now opening up scarf-for-art trades for the Journey OC community!

[owlinthedesert]

Just a few things I have been working on.

[owlinthedesert]

I am not into football, but it is pretty cool to be part of Seattle right now :). Go SeaHawks!

[owlinthedesert]

I could not wait any longer to post these! The top image is for my secret santa on the tgc forums Infiltrator, and the bottom one is something I have been working on for months now for a very dear friend~

Geek, I could not wait for you to get it in the mail lol, especially after that beautiful package of love I got today! I have been slaving away on this since your father passed, hopefully you will pick up on the meaning behind it <3. I hope you won't mind that I posted it before you got it in the mail.

They both look a lot better in person, I just could not contain myself any longer! ~

[owlinthedesert]

So let me try to break this down without getting too emotional! I got some packages, and I could not wait for December 25th morning to open any of them! Any words I thought I had have all failed me. Byzantyan & Mr. & Mrs Geek your plush and custom scarf (equipped with the little nutshell mice & card) have turned me into a puddle, I do not even know what to say, I am beyond words. 

(the signed art book and prints came from my boyfriend, and the costume was a gift to myself).

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou, I love them and they will all find a spot in my home where I can look at them always.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Introducing Owl. "Hoot Hoot"

Owl feels sad, so she hugs a Geek ♥ No one is safe however, she might just hug you next. I drew this with my fingers ♥
