Description ...I am not going to promise that this will be my last Vincent photo.

Honestly--this one has become one of my very favourites. Not to tootle my own horn, but I feel like it captures the essence of the grief, subtle anger and grim determination of Vincent's character. I blame the photographer and lighting for this awesomeness >_>

Thank you, thank you so much!! I don't believe that my photographer has a dA--he's really top-hole, though!

You really have a great shot of Vincent here, and I do agree with what you've said in your description.
You seem to have definitely caught his forlorn nature.

Also, I ADORE what you've done for the gauntlet!

Chajiko In reply to matureaccess [2011-06-02 13:47:03 +0000 UTC]

thank you!! The gauntlet--man, it took forever. x_x It's just made out of craft foam and gold finish, though. Craft foam is amazing stuff.

matureaccess In reply to Chajiko [2011-06-02 14:37:50 +0000 UTC]

Craft foam... Never seen that stuff before D;
Oh well, it's probably under some other name. xD
Did you use tutorials for it? (:

Chajiko In reply to matureaccess [2011-06-02 15:07:03 +0000 UTC]

You can usually pick it up in single sheets at any craft store--Hobby Lobby, Roberts, Michaels, etc.

And--yus! Partially tutorials, partially experience gained from the last time I did it. I used these----->[link] [link]

You are so welcome! ANd I didn't realize you're in Ireland! Hmm...let me think, where did I go for crafts when I was in England...

You guys have Asda, right? There should be at least some craft supplies there, unless I'm loony and forgetting.

matureaccess In reply to Chajiko [2011-06-02 21:43:39 +0000 UTC]

Hahaa, you're thinking of the North. Northern Ireland does, however the Republic does not (lives in the Republic).

Well, it's okay you don't know I'm from Ireland, I mean like, I haven't broad-casted it, and like... yer 8D xD

You were in England? 8D How did you find that? (:

Chajiko In reply to matureaccess [2011-06-02 21:47:03 +0000 UTC]

I've never been to Ireland sadly--though I have TONS of family from there. :/ I need to go visit sometime.

I actually lived in Wales for a bit ^^ I did my graduating work in Welsh archaeology, and so had the (slightly dubious) treat of living in a tent in a sheep pasture for three months. I then got to travel about for a bit before going back home to the 'States.

matureaccess In reply to Chajiko [2011-06-02 22:20:17 +0000 UTC]

YOU SHOULD VISITI AND I'D PWN YOU.

Don't ask why I said that, if anything, that's rather rude. xD

Oh wow! That sounds... fun... Actually when I was younger I wanted to do archeology! What's it like...?
Oh wow... living in a tent must have been fun! : D
Did you enjoy traveling? (:

Chajiko In reply to matureaccess [2011-06-02 22:42:44 +0000 UTC]

It made me lol though, so it's all good. XD I'm going back to Wales hopefully in the next couple of years, and I'm hoping to hop across to Ireland too!

Archaeology is a blast and SO much fun--but you can hardly make a living unless you get a professorship, and it's pretty bare bones even then (no pun intended). I ended up as a high school science teacher, lol.
Living in a tent--it WAS fun! Really exciting also to be out in the middle of NOWHERE in Wales.

I ADORE traveling. I do it as often as I can!

matureaccess In reply to Chajiko [2011-06-02 23:00:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well it's cool if you laughed. B]
Means I was the right level of rude ;D

Ah ya, you should, I mean Ireland has both a city (that isn't a city in comparison to New York), and really pretty countryside.

Ehm, wow! xD You should have become a lecturer B] XD !
That's ironic... But at least it's fun xD

Omg really?:L I would have been scared! Were you living by yourself? (:

I love traveling to, except I don't really get to go xD

Chajiko In reply to matureaccess [2011-06-03 15:28:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes indeed XD

I gotta admit I'm far more excited for Irish countryside than I am for cities. I am such a country girl. XD Yeah--lecturing sadly makes not enough money either. :/ In the States professorship and lecturing have practically the same requirements, and the Doctoral schooling is just SO pricey.

There were a bunch of other students and archaeologists, but we all had our own tiny little tents. It was cool. XD

I miss traveling T_T It's been three years since the last time I took a major trip out of the country, and I miss it!

matureaccess In reply to Chajiko [2011-06-03 18:32:11 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I much rather the city. Haha.
We could like... swap? 8D
Really...? Some lecturers in Ireland get paid over 150,000 a year! o:

Awh... Wasn't it hard finding your tent? O:

I haven't been out of the country in four years, and that was too America! :L
