Mariposa Aristeo

@josiahdeboer : Noooo of course you didn’t. *grin* And thank you. xD Glitter Ocelot came from the facts that I both love glitter and some people in my life decided that I’m actually deep down an ocelot. xD
@emma-flournoy : Thanks Emma! ^-^ ENFJs are fun. =D I like reading and writing both fantasy and sci-fi. *nod* What’re…[Read more]

As much as I would like to plaster Loki gifs across my thread all day, I have to go now. It’s been fun, kids. However…

GUYS.

I’M GONNA DO IT. I’M GONNA TAKE A BREAK FROM MY NOVEL.

*promptly…[Read more]

@mariposa The boy being a dog was weird. That movie… *sigh* Oh Cars 3 is out by the way *is waiting to see it*. And Finding Dory was good.
*attempts remember Cars 2 and Up since it’s been a while since she watched them*
I remember Tow Mater eating something spicy and having to fix a memorable dent for some disguise…*shrugs*

@Mariposa Monsters Inc is my absolute favorite animated movie and I think always will be. Everything is SO WELL DONE.

@Mariposa Good luck with the article! <3

Eww, yeah, I didn’t care much for The Good Dinosaur either. XD The animation was amazing but the story….not so much?
Inside Out and Up are some of my favorites too! But I haven’t seen Up in soooo long. *cries* My list of movies I need to rewatch has grown exponentially this past week it seems. 😛 And I…[Read more]

@ethryndal Oh yeah. Taking a break from something like that is very good. Not only do you want to prevent yourself from a burnout, but also, it can lead to something even better, like what @mariposa said. I’ve done that multiple times. Planned out a story, begun writing it, then stopped. In fact, I have more than thirty stories in my files that…[Read more]

@Mariposa It’s all right, The Good Dinosaur IS awful.

@Mariposa Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you on this!
I’m probably biased as well, but I think self-teaching is the way to go too. XD
Yes, I think an inspirational article like you mentioned is a great idea. 😀 And I love to read it when it’s finished! (Totally up to you though, of course. 😉 )

AGH, I LOVE RATATOUILLE!! That’s like…[Read more]

@Mariposa I honestly don’t even know what to say, because everyone’s already said it. I, like practically everyone here, taught myself most of what I know, and the thing is… *cringes at the cheesiness of this* It was kind of easy for me. Looking back, I can’t really think of any breakthrough “I wish I had known this so much sooner” sort of…[Read more]

@mariposa – you’re welcome! you are so sweet 🙂

@alia sure thing. 🙂

Hey guys, I know she put in a request a page or two ago, but I wanted to kinda retirate it anyway. Continued prayers for Elizabeth’s family would be so appreciated! Her home is still without power from the storm. I know that I’d be super stressed by this point, so prayers for her and her family that they’ll stay strong and…[Read more]

@mariposa Kapeefers. Ah, well, I basically learned to draw the same way you did, trial and error and lots and lots of practice, but the one thing I always have the hardest time with is drawing hair. For some reason, I can never manage to draw girl hair that is curly.

@mariposa

Though I don’t enjoy or do drawing, I was wondering if you were interested in addressing (or have done) abstract art? The kind where it is more shapes instead of trying to be a specific thing?

Just curious. 😀

@Mariposa

Erm, kinda hard for me to really say because I, too, am a hardcore trial and error learner. XD I usually only look to outside sources when I have a question regarding materials (i. g. paper and brush quality, cost, availability, etc.). But, that said, if I were to look for some tips, I would probably be apt to study depth perception,…[Read more]

@mariposa I can’t draw, but I do anyway, so here I go. 😛 I wish I had know earlier that YOU DON’T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHER PEOPLE. I draw for fun, and when I get better, I’m happy. But when I look at all the folks I know who can draw museum-grade stuff, I want to burn my pencils and hide in a hole. *nods emphatically* *laughs* *shakes head*…[Read more]

@mariposa – I think one of the things I’d love to learn how to do, is shading.

And like @anne-of-lothlorien said, Dab painting is something I’ve always wanted to do!

I hope your article goes well, @mariposa!! Your art is beautiful! 😀

Oops. @mariposa

@mariposa Aha….I think that I’ll give it to him when it’s done being edited then. *glances over work*
Oh dear. Dinosaur will not read this thing. XD
@kate-flournoy *goes forth and conquers*
@daughteroftheking *hopes desperately that the world doesn’t explode for the surge of confetti*
