Video Update and HAPPY EASTER

So it's easter morning and my Youtube upload cancelled in the middle of the night...too many people at home were using the internet and it messed up. Anyway I'm going to go microwave some peeps, see ya around!

Video

Forgive me for STILL not posting Cid, but I was busy Thursday and Yesterday with filming for my project. It's currently processing on Youtube, so I'll go get that link and you can check back every now and then like I've been so see if it went through. Starring along side me in that video is Ami from this blog (which she doesn't update much but I'll get her to do it): http://geekgirlami.blogspot.com/

After art on Wednesday I can very easily say my Griever pendant is almost done! I love how it looks so far and I can't wait to share it with you!

Here's the link to the video, see you next time!

Update

As soon as school lets out today, I'm on a break! So, today I brought my Griever to school so I can work on it during art class. I have a pretty open minded teacher, so I'm sure he won't have any problems. I got a lot done on it last night too.

My mom loved the patterns I posted yesterday! I can't wait to start stitching those too~ Anyway, I'll be working on my art project music video all weekend so I'm in a really good mood. And I mean it this time, I will scan and post Cid tonight!!!!

Since I don't have anything recent to post for you, I'm going to post one of my older drawings and maybe a pattern, depending on what I have.



So I found my watercolor painting of Hanyuu from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. I think I'll go in depth on this series in a different post in the not to distant future. I LOVE this series, it's twisted, cute, and really well written. It will make you cry, and go what the hell so many times. The characters are adorable and you'll feel for at least one of them no matter what.



Here's a pattern I made of Sailor Mercury's symbol from Sailor Moon. It's super simple and quick. I'll post more over the weekend.

Hiroshi-Kun Cross-Stitch Pattern

So after I posted this morning, I couldn't help but fullfil my promise of another Wallflower pattern with a pattern for Sunako's beloved and most trusted friend, her anatomical doll Hiroshi-kun. His apearance may be creepy, but he's a huge comedic relief, introducing most episodes with a depressed "Hiroshi here." Though an inanimate object, Hiroshi is a fun and loveable character. Getting the muscle right on him was pretty tough. I hope to get a lot of stuff done to post for you over Easter break, which starts when school gets out tomorrow.
Until Then I hope you enjou this pattern, and if you sew it before I ever get around to it I'd love to see it! Send me a picture at my email musawinxgirl@hotmail.com or post a link in the comments!

New Patterns 3/26/13

I still haven't gotten Cid scanned or my Griever WIP picture off my phone. To make it up to you, I have some new cross stitch patterns to post for you!
Remember that anime I reviewed called The Wallflower? I made two patterns from that series that I'm sure you'll love if you've seen the show. I'm going to stitch them for my mom since she loves the show so much. Now, without further ado...MY PATTERNS!

Here's a simple pattern of the main character, Sunako Nakahara, in her typical chibi form. She usually exists in this form unless she's doing something amazingly badass



And my other pattern is of one of her famous Nosebleeds aimed at Kyohei!


I'm going to try to make a few more patterns from this series, so look out for them!~

Update 3/25/13

I finished Cid a while ago, but I've been to busy to scan him, and I've sewn more on my Griever. I'll post photos tonight after school.
And now to tell you what it is I've been busy with!!! For art class I've been assigned to do a multimedia project on culture. I'm creating a music video to the song The Otaku Anthem (I Wanna Live) by the L33tStr33t Boys. If you haven't heard it check it out!

I got some filming done over this weekend, and will be finishing it up over the Easter Break.
Anyway, check out the L33tStr33t Boys!

ANIME REVIEW: The Wallflower

Today I'm going to be reviewing Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge! Also known as The Wallflower or Pretty Girl Evolution.
I'm going to talk a little about each of the characters and then go onto the actual review, but let me say this: It was an anime my own mother wanted to see all the way through, and even cosplayed from (Twice)!


Minne Nakahara: The Instigator.
The wealthy owner of a fabulous mansion where four beautiful boys live. She makes a deal with the boys so that if they manage to turn her Niece Sunako into a lady, she'll let them live there rent free for a year! Minne is a flambouyant and cheerful woman on a quest to find love (ever since her one true love died.) She is often shown leaving the mansion in a humorous fashion with her newest boyfriend. Some of these include flying off in a giant jet, or leaving in a limo too big to turn around in the driveway. She's aboslutely hopeless at household chores but is a loving and wonderful lady.


Kyohei Takano: The leader and the Bad Boy
Kyouhei Takano grew up poor with a mother who was jealous of his beauty. He saw the way she suffered and ran away to work for a living. He is often the victim of sexual harrassment at work and gets fired because of his refusal. He seems to be the strongest out of the four boys living in Minne's mansion, and is a natural born leader. He'll do whatever it takes to get what he wants, even if it means butting heads with Suanko.


Yukinojo Toyama: The cute, sensitive one
Yuki is very easily frightened and incredibly cute! His feminine looks often wind up being the reason he's forced to cross dress to help Kyohei out of tight spots. He seems to really like Kyohei because he's tough and cool. He's good friends with all the boys and Sunako too.


Ranmaru Mori: The flirt
Ranmaru is a through and through ladies man, which often gets him into trouble. He's very flambouyant and likes pretty girls. He's seen fooling around throughout the show but he knows what he's doing when it comes to make up and pretty outfits. He's the boy's best chance at turning Sunako into a lady.


Takenaga Oda: The brains
Takenaga is easily the smartest and most down to earth of the boys. He comes from a rich traditional family but for some reason is staying with the other boys at Minne's mansion. He's the voice of reason and the calmest in times of crisis, but he gets nervous around his "not quite girlfriend" Noi.


Sunako Nakahara: The problem
Sunako's heart was broken in middle school when she confessed her feelings to the boy she liked. He responded by telling her he didn't "date ugly girls." Since then she's refused to look in a mirror for the past two years and doesn't do a darn thing to improve her appearance. She's very dark and cynical. She loves the occult and all horror films so much she has anatomical dolls and skeletons in her room, which she's even named and talks to when no one seems to understand how she feels. Sunako is so dark its comical. She "can't stand to live with creatures of light" such as the boys and gets nosebleeds whenever she sees them. This is a running gag that never gets old.


Noi Kasahara: The girly Girl
Takenaga's girlfriend, and the only girl rooting for Sunako. She's flirty and girly but she isn't afraid of arguing with Kyohei constantly. She truly believes in Sunako and wants her to succeed. Noi is also horrible at house hold chores.


The Review:
The animation is very pretty but a little oversaturated with flowers at times. However it makes a very comical transition from the typical shoujo style to very crude chibis and even stick men. Some of the "creature of light" jokes get old and it doesn't follow the manga(which is still ongoing)completely. Some parts of the show I have to make a comment on are the "Road to Womanhood" and the "Goth Goth Loli sisters". The Road to womanhood gives small tips in the middle of the show on how to be more feminine and are pretty funny, but the Goth Goth Loli sisters, while funny at first, are overused and annoying. I really liked Sunako's character, and so did my mom. My mom cosplayed both Minne Nakahara and her Niece Sunako and had a lot of fun doing so. The boy's are all pretty sweet and I think in the future when my mom cosplay's Sunako again I'll either be Kyohei or Ranmaru to match.
My whole family Highly Reccommends The Wallflower


Here's my Mom's Sunako Cosplay by the way :)
