Creation Live! workshop: Prima.

[mushroomtale]

I finally caved and got prepaid broadband internet. *heavy sigh*

This is a mandatory plug for my workshop mid-August:




In celebration of International Women's Month (more or less five months late), Gunship Revolution will be serving up a very special Creation Live! this August with Prima, an workshop starring the amazing, talented women that keep Gunship Revolution from being a total all-boys club.


Do women in general necessarily have a different approach when it comes to art that sets them apart from men? If so, does this "woman's touch" figure into an artist's unique, personal styles? Can a guy truly master the art of romance manga or will that just be weird? We're going to explore these topics and more alongside a brisk, intensive course on illustrating and digital painting traditionally "feminine" styles - shoujo, cutesy and all points in between. Style, skill, and training are all universal of course so guys are definitely still welcome.

Headlining for this workshop are two of Gunship Revolution's leading ladies. Lynsley Brito, is certainly a name making waves on both sides of the Pacific. A student at China's prestigious Academy of Art in Hangzhou, she's quickly rising as one of the top Manga artists in America. Bridging that transcontinental distance is a very distinct style composed of lavish environmental detail, exquisite tone work and androgynous male characters with luxurious, shampoo-commercial hair. If you're even halfway familiar with the "yaoi" genre, you have most likely seen her work.

The second half of the seminar will be held by the incomparable Cristina Chua, a multimedia arts major whose vibrant coloring work and whimsical character designs never fail to cause jaws to drop. Ms. Chua is a consummate master of concept art and has done digital painting work on internationally distributed publications. She will be discussing her digital painting techniques, particularly the skills and stylistic inspiration that goes into her pieces.

For questions about Creation Live!, feel free to send them to us through the Creation Live! website. Prima will be held at Fully Booked High Street on August 18 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Special prizes and give-aways await the attendees such as original art prints, professional art tools and authentic digital copies of Smith Micro's premiere illustration program Manga Studio.

I've been brainstorming... but seeing as my brain's fried, I think I'll just wallow in fics all night tonight. *pumps fist*

*glomps you* OMG, that drawing. I have not seen that one before. It's AMAZING.

Also, your workshop sounds fabulous (if one had any talent at drawing, which I most definitely do not:)).

Aren't you lucky that the BB's just started posting? I can't wait to read fuzzytomato02's spaceship fic. It will be September, most likely, before I can start reading it. *sigh* I hope for podfics, but realistically, most of the BB's don't get podficc'ed. I'll just have to read them. ♥

Hey, Dear! I got your mail, and get to reading your fic as soon as I can! I want to loiter on LJ some more before I binge on fics!

Anyway, something came up at work and I might have a couple days between now and then to make a little fanart for you! (And maybe another little something for merlinolympics.) *hugs* It will probably be simple though... I hope you don't mind.

Aww, thank you so much! ;3; I really... I hope I do okay. I'm really not good at speaking in public.

I KNOW RIGHT. I was literally shaking with all the feels... just thinking about the imminent slew of Big Bang fics! ;___; I have been away from the fandom for far too long...

Ahh, too busy? *^* If only all these fics were podficced! I really wish!

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

Simple is totally fine. Nothing is fine as well! Do what works for you.

You will get better with practice. People are just people.

LOL. I haven't been able to read much for a while now. I've never been good at reading long fics. I'm so behind. LOL.

[mushroomtale.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will draw something for you, I just have some questions. I'll PM you! *hugs* <333

Aww. Me neither, to be honest... Well, not on a computer anyway. I really like reading fics on my mobile but right now I don't have Internet on it, so I'm forced to read on my laptop... : (

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

Ok. You are lovely, to draw something for a project that I dragged you into:D ♥

Really? Seems like reading on a smaller screen would be even more annoying. I just get pulled away from the fics I'm reading and forget to go back, usually. I've started fuzzytomato02's Stardust fic and I'm anxious to get back to it. After I go sew some quilt squares together:D

[mushroomtale.livejournal.com]

Aww, I have time, and I would love to! I love, love both Mithian and Morgana but I never seem to get the chance because MxA always eats my brain.

Hmm, I don't know! I think it's cos the smaller screen makes me unable to see how long the fic is, and so it doesn't seem as daunting! I just keep scrolling until the end.

I've been hanging out the Kink Meme and haven't been able to read the Big Bang fics yet! I can't wait though -- some of them are getting a LOT of recs!

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

♥ I love Mithian to bits and I have feelings about Morgana as well:D

LOL. I know that feeling! MxA does have a way of eating one's brain. I keep wanting to write Elyan stories and get distracted by those knaves;)

Ah ha! It's a secret trick. The mobile fools you into thinking it's just a wee little story...;)

I know! I'm chomping at the bit to read some of those fics!

[mushroomtale.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, and yes! We need more hours in a day. <333

Speaking on Merthur / Brolin, have you seen (http://carlospyrrhus.tumblr.com/post/28478845577/no-wonder-gwen-looks-angry)...

[jelazakazone.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, I saw that picture. *thud* I was instantly reduced to a quivering puddle when I saw that picture. They are too cute. The chemistry. *spontaneously combusts*

[mushroomtale.livejournal.com]

Hey! Yeah, it hasn't happened yet, so I don't know how successful it will be... *nervous* Thank you so much, though!

It's okay, don't worry about your English. :D :D :D

See you around! *hugs* <333

[kuro-akira.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness I'll try my best to be there. Haven't seen you in ages (not sure if you still remember me, even!) and I'd looooove to learn from you. Idol foreverrrrr. ♥

[mushroomtale.livejournal.com]

Nix! Of course, I remember you. *hugs* It would be so great if you could come! Have you been to the other Creation Live! lectures before? <333

[kuro-akira.livejournal.com]

I went to Manga Creation Live! I think it was the first one. :) ♥
I really hope I can go! ;u;

[mushroomtale.livejournal.com]

You know what, I hope I can go too. With this kind of weather, you just never know! ;___;

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on your workshop! That blurb on you is so cool. You must feel like a rock star. :)

Is that your drawing of Merlin at the bottom. WOW that is FANTASTIC.

Hahaha! Actually, I don't really feel like I'm that special at all... despite the very generous blurb. I'll try to teach what I know, though... : ) <3

Yes, it is! I didn't know they'd be using it! Welp!
