My TV is constantly broadcasting kids shows. Helps me relax and focus on work.
My parents are in Malaysia and I wish i was here tooooo.
I love Frosties Cocoa flavored but sadly they don't sell these anymore in France. Eff you, France.
I'm in love with Raven Queen from Ever After High.
If you have to get me a gift, and don't know what to chose, just go for something Stitch themed. I'll love it no matter what i promise.
Nicki Minaj is my idol.
I own nearly fifty pairs of shoes and only wear maybe two or three regularly.
I own a lot of leopard print stuff.
I'm always late. Always.



1. What's your astrological sign?
I was born august the 17th, making me a leo!!! Grrrr!!!

2. What is your current/future project art wise?
I have several projects going on.
  • First, the writing of my main big project, Aataveith, it's still a work in progress, i want to take my time. I think i might ready to start the storyboard of chapter one.
  • Second, regarding this project, Aataveith, i have to finish editing and coloring the panels of the thing i had to do for school so i can post it online. It might take a lot of time, but the skeleton is here, it just needs flesh now. I will then post an app that gives you access to info on the characters, the story, the people, the countries of my world, and the exclusive prologue of my story. and as i type this i wonder why i do it in english because it's all written in french at the moment and translating everything already gives me a headache.
  • Third, i have a nice graphic design project for school, an illustrated version of some chapters of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. i might post it online too. I chose to work on the horsepeople of the apocalypse! I'm working on their design rn. Some pictures are up on my instagram instagram.com/elequinoa
  • And then all the other stuff i do for school and personal drawings... I'm very busy art wise even if my gallery is empty lol

3. What cheers you up?
Awesome series like Galavant. I can't believe season one's already finished. Sniff. Also, cute kitty cats, Stitch related stuff, hot cocoa and a good laugh.

4. Name your Top 5 favorite fictional characters.
This is too fucking hard. Seriously.
In random order : Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf), Constance Bonacieux (The Musketeers), Abbie Mills (Sleepy Hollow), Sansa Stark (Game of Thrones), basically anything that's along the line of female, badass, redhaired, not looking down on other women, proud of what they are... and cute as hell. And Stitch.

5. Which fictional character do you wish was real?
Oh gosh. I don't knoooow. Oh i'm gonna get inspiration from Seiani's answers, and say all the exceeds from Fairy Tail. I want my own exceed. Imagine having a Pantherlily of your own... Awesome. (if you don't know what an exceed is, they look like cats with wings and can talk. damn cute.)

6. What is your OTP?
Too many to tell, honey! I'm gonna redirect you to this page : elequinoa.tumblr.com/ship-list (even if it needs an update ^^ ) but if i have really have to chose one, i think i'm gonna go with Captain Swan (once upon a time), considering the ship is the only reason i keep watching the show x) 

7. Who is your celebrity crush?
Emma Stone, Sophie Turner

8. If you could talk to one species of animal which would it be?
CATS seriously, or koalas, maybe dogs to ask them how they manage to stay happy all the time

9. Do you have an Original Character(s)/Fan Character(s)? If so, who is your most favorite one?
Yes i do my fellow friend, here have a look at my gallery : elequinoa.deviantart.com/galle…  and quite obviously, my fave, my muse, is Cecilia. (again, can you spot any ressemblances to previously mentioned people...)

10. What song are you obsessed with right now?
The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, especially The Pina Colada song, and Sia's last album. Elastic Heart and Hostage on top.

1. What are your main inspirations when you do art things?
Watching other people drawings! I love stumbling upon a new artist on tumblr, falling in love with their style and then spend hours watching every little drawing they've done. That gives me a lot of inspiration! I study their lines, their colors, their style, and then i tell myself "man i wish i could do that let's try at once" . Also, livestreams, comic books, series, movies, life in general.

2. What are your favorite TV shows?
Well, it's gonna be a tough one. Among them, The 100, Orphan Black, Outlander, Teen Wolf, Orange is the new black, Black Sails, Galavant.

3. Do you listen to music from other countries than England, USA and France?
Yep! Indian bollywood songs. I'm in love with Ram Leela soundtrack. Also, j-pop and k-pop songs, by period.

4. If there was something in your body you could change, what would it be?
My dry skin. Curse this itchy skin that requires a bottle of moisturizing cream a day.

5. A genie appears and is OK to make three wishes of yours come true : what are they?
  • Money. Infinite money. That way i can do everything i want.
  • Being able to speak, write and understand every single language in the world.
  • Getting released from my social anxiety.

6. Make a cactus a lap-dance or dance the moon-walk on a floor of embers?
Moonwalk. Seems less painful.

7. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? (you just try, isn't it?)

Yes i tried. I can't, teeth are in the way.

8. (If you've got an OC) If you're OC was real, do you think he/she/it could be your friend or lover and why or why not?
Well i have a ton of OCs so let's focus on my muse, Cecilia. Yeah i think we'd get along eventually. She'd easily be one of my friends.

9. Who is the Deviant Artist you admire the most?
Well, my fave artist is Becky Cloonan, and she has a DeviantArt account i think.

10. If you were not yourself, do you think you could find this yourself who's not yourself attractive (physically/mentally)? (crazy Narcissus time)
Hmmmm... When i put on make up, yeah probably haha. But most of the time i'm too lazy/too late to do it.


Questions


1) If you had a TARDIS, what time or place would you go to?  (i'd travel all the time tbh)
2) What is your favorite food and why?  (fried rice, italian, gateau basque and strawberry shortcake :heart: )
3) Name your Top 5 favorite fictional characters
4) If you could live in any fantasy world from a game, movie, book, or show what would you pick and why?   (i'd choose Magnolia, from Fairy Tail, because come on this world is amazing, you can CHOOSE to become a mage how cool is that, plus the townlife is really nice and not too threatening. and exceeds as a bonus)
5) Would you want to be a magical girl? why or why not?    (ofc i would, just for the transformation sequence and the pretty outfit)
6) Do you know what Hogwarts house you'd want to be in and why?   (hufflepuuuuuff \o/)
7) What song are you obsessed with right now?
8) What was the last movie you watched?

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing okay,

I finished school classes last friday, but i still have a lot of exams for two weeks, and then i'll be going on my internship.

In the meantime, i'm working a lot on the story of my OCs, trying to separate everything in chapters, filling the holes, creating more action when needed, i'm really enjoying this. But i'm no story writer. Even less a professional comic artist... Lately i've been wanting to develop more the backgrounds of my story, the landscapes, scenery and stuff, but i find it hard to find good tutorials, videos, or references.

Do you have some good tips you'd like to share with me and everyone who might read the comments? (i know i like to share when i find good tutorials! here's the link to one of my side tumblr, with lot of different stuff, but most of the content is references pictures or tutos: pinkelenoa )
And more, do you have some general advice on story writing you'd like to share too?

I'm writing this story for my own personal enjoyment first, but if someday i find the courage and finnally have the skills to share it with the world, having a good story seems like an important point to me...

Well then, it also leads me to this question, would you like to know more of my OCs story? I think my prologue is set in stone and wont change a lot, maybe i could try to share it on DA or tumblr if some of you are interested. (There's currently only two people i've ever told what my story is really about x) )



To give it a start, here's the character sheets from the three main characters:
ID Cecilia by Elequinoa ID Bali by Elequinoa ID Tamen by Elequinoa

And the map of the overall world, plus the Homin continent and some info written underneath:
:thumb418161970: :thumb418167032:

And the link to my dedicated tumblr, hominlands where i post a lot of reference pictures, but also drawings, information about the countries and characters sometimes.... i know i'm personally very fond of this kind of blogs, feel free to share your links if you have one too! :) i'm highly interested!

I also have an art only blog, for more professional use: elequinoart

And lately, if you want to watch me fangirl over the series and movies i love, you can go onto my personal tumblr, elequinoa and join me in madness! :) (NOT SPOILER FREE so beware if you're watching game of thrones especially)   You can share your tumblr too! I'll get a look! :)


And that will be all for today! :)
I'm resting at my parents house, my brother is currently welcoming his american exchange student, and it's fun having to talk in english irl :) i'm gonna show him around the heart of our city tomorrow hahaha there's not a lot to do sadly ^^"

Hope you'll all have a nice week,
:hug: :hug: :hug:
