Broken Arrow (Pixie Lott) - THE perfect song

I've just finished reading Beastly by Alex Flinn, seeing that how everyone commented (on the trailer on youtube) that the book is far better than the movie. The book was entertaining, but I don't exactly find it to be that awesome like some people said it is. Maybe it's because I'm beginning to grow out of YA novels.

NEway, after reading the book, I decided to watch the trailer again (to decide whether or not I'd check out the movie). And then, I just have a sudden love for the trailer's song -- Pixie Lott's Broken Arrow. (Yes, dumb me for not loving it the first time I saw the trailer).

As I was singing along (in my heart, of course) with the lyrics printed on my laptop's screen, I made a silent squeal. The lyrics...it's as if...it's written specially for the heroine in my new novel (title yet to be fixed)!! I don't think anyone would understand my excitement, though. Let's just say that I find my inspirations (mostly) from songs, and having a song that depicts EXACTLY the character in my novel, it helps me to focus (I always tend to "forget" about the character's personality/feelings). I've always been on the look out for songs like this. There were some that depicts 60-70% of my characters/story, but never 100%.

With this song, it's 100%. It's P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

The lines that best depict my heroine's feelings are these:

What do you do when your heart's in two places?
You feel great but you're torn inside.
You feel love but you just can't embrace it,
When you found the right one at the wrong time.

So, this should give you a hint on what's going on (generally) in my new novel. Have only finished 4 chapters so far. 4 short chapters. Another hint >> the story takes place after the events in Blood Moon (hopefully someone has been reading it *fingers crossed*), so you can say it's sort of like a sequel. Sort of.

Here's the official MV to Pixie Lott's song:

New work...again


This is ME! Haha...People who are close to me will be thinking "Doesn't look like you at all!" I really can't draw my big flat nose (the part least similar to my actual facial features ><). I hate my nose~ XP And I'm wearing my signiture shirt (in the picture) --- Supergirl!!! *laughs at my own silliness*

I drew this a couple of hours before my 19th birthday on 5th of December. Sort of like a memory for the last few hours of being 18. Lol~ I know, I know...I'm making a big deal out of this. But I really do have the damn Peter Pan Syndrome --- I hate growing up. XD But...Oh, well. What can I do about that? I just need some time to get rid of that illness.



I meant to make this the cover of the first chapter of Blood Moon, but then I realised it's more suitable to be the cover for another chapter and since I haven't introduce Jack in the first chapter. I'm going to add the novel's title later (after I finished designing the title, that is). It didn't quite turned out the way I want and I still think it lacks something ><

Drawings for Blood Moon

Woohoo~ Haven't been blogging for awhile now. I have nothing better to at home but just sit or lie around, sleep for 12+ hours a day XD I did not do much during this one whole month of holiday. Sleep at 7/8 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon almost everyday. I used to be a "lark" (well, because of school, not because I wanted to) but now I have turned into a complete "owl". Today I've finally picked up my pencil and paper to draw (even though I said to myself I MUST draw everyday during this holiday) thanks to SuJu. Why? Because I have fallen in love with their song "Neorago (It's You)". After watching their music video, I was DYING to draw their outfits. Their outfits went well with their dance moves, which are absolutely charming and enchanting. I was not a SuJu fan but, GOD! Now I'm starting to like them more and more. They made me wished I could have a boyfriend that can dance like them (especially Eunhyuk. ZOMG! At first I thought he wasn't that good looking compared to GD *squeal* but then, after seeing him dance, HE IS SOOOO CHARMING!!) LOLX~

Okay, enough of the cool-guy fetish. The reason I'm writing this post is to post my drawing for my precious Blood Moon boys XD The first one is the unfinished version and the second one is, well, the finished version. Arggh~ The damn useless scanner! It made the colour came out weird. Totally ruined it!! It looked so good on the paper!! *pulling hair off my head* I want a new scanner!!!

Seriously, their skintone became so dark!!! It was supposed to be pale for Jack and Leroy! And Jack's hair was supposed to be seal brown, sort of a dark brown but it came out looking like black! But I am really satisfied with this design. I will be settling my character design on this one. Not going to change it again, I think. XD

P.S.: I know it's weird for a French to have black hair, BUT it really fits his character.

All done!!

I finally finished every bit of my assignment+tutorial homework+japanese class homework!! I literally worked like a cow by finishing a week's work in three days...Haha. It's a great achievement for me as I used to do everyting last minute.

What's my motivation for it? Haha...you won't believe it.

It's because I wanted to continue writing my Blood Moon without worrying about those darn stupid assignments... Ridiculous? Yeah, I know. XD

So, I'll be writing Blood Moon again the first thing I wake up tomorrow morning (I'll skip breakfast...or even brushing my teeth XDD). I'm seriously addicted to writing novels recently...even more than I do to drawing!!! Gosh... A novel-holic? Nah, I think it's more like writoholic (is there such word? =P).

Jack & Leroy!! (My sweethearts) Here I come~! Woo~weee~

(Crazy girl on the loose XP)

Blood Moon cover art

Just wanted to post the cover art for Blood Moon (my novel). I found this picture on the internet and thought it really suits the novel. So I took it and modified it a little using photoshop. I'm still new to this photoshop thing so I can't do much modification to the picture.
