Just some Holiday Pics

Well hello there handsomes.

Today's post is another slightly random one.
I brought my camera to my parent's place over the holidays and practiced a bit of photography and I thought I'd share =D So here ya gooo

 Our slightly overdecorated Christmas tree. So we made some stuff called "Feuerzangenbowle", I don't even know how to explain it but it's safe to say that it's not just a little bit alcoholic. BUT decorating the Christmas tree has never been so much fun xD

 Assortment of cheesy tree pictures <3

This one is my favorite of all pics I took during the holidays! Left to right my brother in law, me, my mommy and my sister <3 (Can you tell we were completely baked? xD)

 Trying out settings on the camera to catch the fun reflections the light was making with this... whatever that is. I think you put candles in it.

 FOOOOOOD.

This was just the main course of our Christmas dinner. YES, it tasted the way it looks :O

Don't worry though, I won't become on of those people who post pictures of everything they eat. It was just a special occasion xD

 The making of the devilish beverage. Very fancy to look at but also very scary for the daughter of a firefighter who usually doesn't light more than a candle.

Oh, didn't I tell you? That stuff on top is sugar, you drench it in rum and ten light it on fire.

 like thus.

 Don't try this at home, kids!

(Well, technically I did try it at home myself, but I never said I was a good role model xD)

 Lastly, a few selfies. Cause, gotta have those. So this is my look not for Christmas itself (didn't take pictures then...D=), but for dinner at a very old friend's place. I tried out a more smokey eye look and I think it came out really nice. I knew there would be some smoking done, so I didn't bother washing my hair. Instead, to cover up how dirty it was, I plastered it right down on my head and I was pretty damn happy about that as well.

What do you think?

Lastly, yesterday's hair and make-up! I freshly dyed my hair yesterday and it turned out reeeeeeeeeally neat and I wanted someone to see.I had plans to go out but then I got a headache so bad I had to stay at home :(

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo that's that. Not much. Let me know what you think and if you have any photography tips for meeee.
And I will talk to you soon(ish).
Love,
T <3

I made dis (Frog girl)

SO. It's a busy week for this blog, huh?

Anyways, I still do "art" sometimes, even the kind that doesn't consist of fashion designs or little comicey drawings of myself during a lecture.

introducing Frog Girl a.k.a. Kaylie (cause she's not wearing a mask).
I think the last time I drew her must be like... YEARS ago. But when I sat down with my GT last night it's just turned out to be her somehow.
Seriously, she just seems to give you bedroom eyes on EVERY picture. I don't know why. It just happens.

This is really just skin shading practice that I have been dying to try out ever since I watched this video by Kienan Lafferty. (SHOUT-OUT TIME!)
So Kienan used to work for riot, doing the splash art for Champions (Ahri, Fizz, Wukong, Redeemed Riven, and many more are his work) and that's how I found his youtube channel, and now he's doing his little webshow while working on his online comic "Emma", which is amazing, go check it out! (Seriously. Go. NOW.)
Unfortunately I have only once managed to stay up long enough to watch his live stream at 4 am, but there's a video on his channel somewhere where he tries to pronounce "zwergprinzessin" xD So yeah, I'm like, a part of the community.
Please please please show him lots of love, he works so hard and he deserves more attention!

Ooooohkay, back to froggy. Now I'm not saying I'll ever be close to as good as Kienan is, but I really liked working on this and I'm pretty happy with the final thing. I know her hair looks really weird when rendered like this, but my main point was to practice skin and I think that turned out pretty damn nice. I still suck horribly at noses and lips though =/

Okay so I guess I just wanted to quickly share this pic and Kienan's channel with you guys. Please go read "Emma", you will not regret it.
Also, let me know what you think of Kaylie's skin and if you have any tips for me ;)
Thank yooooou for reading and smell ya later
Love
T <3
