This is a fannish journal and very little is friendslocked. I'm more a lurker than anything else. I'm well and truly over the age of 18.
Most of what I post is art. I used to do a lot of traditional art, too, with pencil, ink and gouache as my preferred traditional media. Now I use Corel Painter X and as of late 2010, a Wacom Intuous3 tablet. I use lots of references for my painting - mostly screen caps and stock photos, as well as lots of costume references for the historical AUs. I used to use Poser Figure Artist, but it does not seem to play well with Windows 7. Faces may be referenced from either a single screencap or multiple, and I try to use multiple references for most things. DeviantArt stock photos are linked on the dA post of the painting.
I'm interested in a wide variety of fandoms - usually TV based. Sometimes I read fanfic - and sometimes I just enjoy the show (or movie, or book ..) Depending on the fandom, and my mood, I like slash, or gen, and sometimes I've been a shipper. I enjoy reading a good meta discussion (though I rarely join in).
Art Use Policy. I'm not proprietary about my artistic ideas. More than likely I've been inspired by someone else. So, if one of my paintings has inspired you to write (fiction, meta, whatever) or to do a similarly themed piece of art - I'm flattered and hope you will let me know, but you don't need to ask permission. If you want to use my art as a desktop - go for it. If you want to use part of my art as a banner or icon, or in a collage or vid, please credit me, and drop me a note. If you are reblogging on Tumblr, I'd just ask that you credit and link back (where possible) to my DeviantArt gallery http://leyna55.deviantart.com/
