Himitsu (it's a secret!)

[personal profile] moonphased...if you want to be surprised in about a week, DON"T LOOK.

So, moonphased just had a birthday, and moonphased sent me Amaterasu last week, and moonphased LOVES a video game called Blue Dragon.

So I made this for her.

It's very blue, and it's a dragon.  I took a few liberties with the horn color and the number of face spikes, but I think it looks pretty close to the big guy in the game.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun making it & I really hope she likes him.  :-)  Into a box and off to Japan he goes!  My masks have SO much more fun than I do...  *sniffle*

In other news; I just ordered some new summer clothes and new sandals (really cute Skechers, which is ironic since, heh, my brother does the commercials for them).  Hopefully everything will arrive in time for my trip to Vegas.  I need to look faaabulous, darlings.

It's a pity we can't pack ourselves into boxes and visit foreign countries that easily, isn't it? Though I can't imagine it'd be a very comfortable mode of transportation.

Lucky Moonphased, though. That's a lovely mask.

You always look fabulous, but I hope your clothes and sandals come in :)

I'm sorry that the spirit fest was such a bomb (I've been gone, so I'm still catching up) but it sounds like you had a nice memorial day weekend at least.

I like to live vicariously through my well-travelled art, sometimes. :-) I've sent masks to every continent (except Antarctica...heh).

Aww! You're so sweet to say I look fabulous. You've seen me in 100+ heat...so I suppose you've already seen me at my worst. Hoo boy, I hope Pennsic doesn't set any heat records this year (but I fear it will).

I'm already over Spiritfest (we've been calling it "Spiritbust" and "Dissappear fest" around the house) and I'm looking forward to the next thing. Busy busy. :-)

Your brother does the ads for Sketchers????

*starting to make sense about the castle, assuming it's the same bro. What does he do???????? Or if it's a different one, how do you guys keep getting so freaking succesful?????*

[identity profile] merimask.livejournal.com 2007-05-30 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's my brother John (I just have the one brother)...he's incredibly talented & works with the big boys. He did the Skechers animated ads that you're seeing on several national cable stations. Here's a link to one of the ads on YouTube...John doea all the voices too!

Here's John with someone you might recognize... John's on the left & Franco Dragone all the way on the right.

When people say "on the left" I never know if they mean on their left, or my left in the pic. Your brother has got the striped shirt, or the dark one????

*and wow, he's got a sexy voice!!!!!!!!!* But please don't tell him that, cause I'd feel weird cause he's married innit he????? But seriously. That voice *drool*

rofl...oh Angel you're killing me! :-D

John's wearing the striped shirt. He's so funny...he sent me this pic with nothing more than a short accompanying message "...try to pick out your brother in this picture."

So I wrote back "It is deeply offensive & disturbing to me, a child of the 80's, that my brother looks hotter than Sting."

He's divorced but has an awesome & adorable girlfriend. She inspires a lot of his art...if you look you'll see her in it.

Wow, he is a cutiepie all right! Is it just me, or is that big grin and stubble just crying out for a pirate outfit? *giggle*

[identity profile] indigos-angel.livejournal.com 2007-05-30 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, ***I won't comment on the cuteness level cause he's got a girlfriend***, but seriously... DID YOU CHECK OUT THE LEATHER PANTS????????? ^__^

*muchly agrees with the *giggle** XDDDDD

Awww, too bad you couldn't deliver it in person...to Japan...ya know, to ensure it gets there safely...

Beautiful mask! I love the horns. And it's so shiny looking.

Waah, I know! I would just LOVE to find a way to do a show in Japan. That would be the ultimate coolness. Leather is exotic stuff there too, (like steak...not a big beefy country) and I just bet I could cause a sensation.

Thanks! I painted it all highlighted to make it EXTRA shiny. :-)

You must do a show in Japan sometime! And of course you'll need help so I'll just have to go... >.> <.<

It's so shiny. :D

Oh, that's lovely. I don't know the game but the shading with the paler blues make it look like that guy should be glowing with blue light!

[identity profile] merimask.livejournal.com 2007-05-30 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. :-) I'm not familiar with the game either...I don't think it's been released here yet, even. I was winging it; going off the site pics & the cover ad for the game. The dragon seemed AWFULLY blue to me so I just went along with that.
