Hello :D

Hope you have spent a good Xmas, at home, or at work, or wherever you were.

I've been eating and working the whole day xD What about you? I'm curious.

World is a bit of a madness right now, but I hope you are having a (barely) good time anyway. And if you didn't, I hope you will soon.

Best wishes,
Scarlet.

Today the weather is so strange.

It rains for two minutes, then it stops, then it rains again for other 5 minutes. Never seen something like this here (I did in London though).
I have a medieval dinner this evening with players and such, I guess we will run inside the castle every 30 minutes or so.

Such a bore.
What ya doing by your end of the world? How's the weather?

If you want both a beautiful picture and a wonderful new bookmark to print, don't miss this ych ;)

Hello wanderers ♥

I know you are here for my illustrations, but I'd really love my art to come out from screens into you daily life. You know, to make the world a little less bitter in those hard times.

So I'd really love to hear your thought on the few following products I could actually realize for you.

- Patterns: what do you think about a tile patterns with more of your OCs that can be printed over fabrics, wallpaper, or whatever? I'm thinking to something art-deco that will embellish your clothing/house.
- Bookmarks: I'm planning to draw some YCH with bookmark aspect ratio that you can personalize with you character/quote (and print it if you wish). Would you use it?
-Magazine cover: What about a "fake" magazine cover featuring your OC? You could print and hang it to feel more precious ♥

Let me know if you're interested in any of them. You can also tell me "please no, go back to your illustration". This journal is just to check your taste so, please, be sincere.

Thank you very much,
Scarlet.

PS: how's things in USA? None speaks about you in Europe, but some of my friends are suffering a financial crisis. Hoe bad is it?

Have you ever left your job/sòavery to do something worthy in your life, just to be accused by everyone to be a ridiculously picky young with no will of working?

Well, on one hand, yes: I am picky. But guess what? Everyone should be picky. This our only life, there's no turning back, no saving point, no restart-button.
You may have done an "evaluation error" and ended up studying 5 years for a job that kills you, but this does not mean that you cannot fix that error and take a new path.
Something that does not make you wish to die during the night just to avoid waking up and go to work again, maybe.

But on the other hand, no: I'm everything but lazy. Since I left engineering I spent all the days of my life trying to build something that was mine.
I learnt new stuff, dealt with bureaouioioacracy, perfected my skills, tried 4 new careers, looked for customers worldwide. I work 24/7 to pursue my passion and follow my moral compass.
Lazyness, I don't know what this word mean.

It makes me furious to be judged badly by those fucking old generations, the ones who literally turned society to an unlivable crap.
I mean, I'm trying everything to improve this world with my skills. First I did it as an engineer, I suggested new ways to make the workflow smooth and products more reliable. I was fired.
Then I wanted to be an artisan. Looked for some workshop, offered my help to learn the job and bring in my up-to-date knowledge in it. None wanted apprentices. "There's no job" they said me with a month-long queue of orders.
Now that I am an artist I'm trying to bring back the old good habit to make everyday objects unique and appealing. Because there are hundreds of products around us that could look good with no additional costs. Books, food boxes, bottle labels, even that small creepy tile pattern on you clothing. I looked for customers, offered them my hands for low prices at first, Nothing. So I offered them my work FOR FREE. Guess what? Most of them didn't even reply to me with a fucking "thanks, we're not interested". The only people who actually pay and appreciate my job, is you and I am so thanksful to all of you for this.

But at this point, I feel like it does not metter how much effort I put into everything I do.
Out of here I always hit closed door, and who shut them is the same generation who keep telling my I'm a lazy and picky shit.

I am not accepting this. Never. You ruined this world, I try to fix it by exiting slavery and showing that a job doesn't have to be a torture. That quality is better then quantity. That living a worthy life is most important than making money.
Though this is making me more and more tired everyday. Though sadness burns my heart from inside.

Hello wanderers!

Is there anyone who needs a commercial design for their products?
I mean book covers, awesome etiquettes for wine/beers, dreamy boxes if you sell goods (filled of drawings like those made in the early 1900), or even pattern designs for fabrics.

I really want to put my art to service and make your product spark among the average shit that we are sold everyday. Art was born to fullfil our eyes in everyday objects, not to fill museums.

If you could use a design or know someone who does, feel free to send me a note. We'll work together on the design in order to give your product the right vibes and reach excellence.
I'm willing to stitch to your budget for this commercial projects, money are not the main reason for I'm doing this (though I need to eat).

Thank you very much for your time and have a wonderful day,
Scarlet.

Hello dudes and dudesses!

I've been messing a bit with signs and nicknames during the last years.
So, to give my activity a more professional touch, I deicided to adopt a sign that I actually should have picked years ago! XD

From now on I'll sign my picture as "the scarlet arts", to make things easier to everyone interested in reaching my accounts.

Also, I will re upload some of the most recent pictures with the new sign, just to make things more tidy.
I apologize in advance for the old pictures that will pop up in you inbox ^^ Forgive me.

Have a nice day,
Scarlet.

Hello!
I got a bit of spare time and I'm so happy ti draw something for you :D

I'm opening two commission slots for a rough painting.
Samples:
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....ugh-paintings/

Each slot can have 1-2 characters.
One character is 60€ two are 110€.

Comment below if interested or send me a note :D

I hate cats when they gently place their paw on me... and I feel the tips of their little nice claws... and Iknow they are about to sink them into your skin! Because whatever you do, it ends that way >:(


The trunks, all the leaves, and all the flowers were air once. Yes because the real food of plants is carbon dioxide (like bread for us), all their fibers are made out of the carbon extracted from air. Plants use light to burn water (like we do with oxigen), and the energy that bumps out from this process is used to separate carbon from oxigen. Then Carbon is used to build the sugars that plants are made of (sugars that we cannot use btw because we miss the enzyme to digest the beta-glicosidic bond, and that's why vegetables are dietetic for us but keeps elephants in a good shape, and that's why vegans have no meaning). When you see a forest, all that you see is our waste carbon dioxide that magically turned into elegant green matter, all of this was nothing but air.


I love when it's hot, and the wind blows on my skin bringing smells to my nose. The pleasure of that fresh caress is one of the few things that makes me feel really alive. And the smells, well, it is fun to guess where they come from. When it's midday they turn into food flavours. They remember me of everything I've eaten so far and bring me back in time toward places with the same smell. They also bring me toward good places for lounch.


I had an idea for an undead character. It's dead, but keep mooving thanks to magic and thanks to its thirst for revenge. It was betrayed and killed with three blades that are still in the same place where he was stabbed, near its heart. On each blade there's a fear engraved in the metal. When it fights, it draws one of the blade out of its wound and strike, and trap anyone the blade touches in their fears.
Need to find a name for it.


When I focus on the future, all that I see are bunch of wars and lot of blades pointed at me. All I have to fight is a big useless embellished sword with no edge, and a trimmed knife of cold steel. A part of me wants to run away and never turn back. But I am a warrior, I was built to fight and I have no purpose except fighting. I may win nothing, I may be defeated, I may be axausted... but I can't leave the field... and all this thing I have to fight egainst scare me as hell, sometimes.


I had a long day.

...such a day.
My brother-in-engineering and I had the insane idea to play d&d in real life today.

How did the story end? We threw the dice to see if we could attend lessobs. We made two critic fails, so basically not only we fleed from uni, we also had wine for lunch, and since he threw another 1 we also had the choccolate warm cake with melting heart with two glasses of passito (a wine for sweets). But then the dice decided that i was time to go back to lesson and we were both half drunk... Signals elaboration had never been so long.

Don't play dnd irl if you have important things to do xD
And now I go back sleeping.

I made a creepy attempt to register the song of the hound and the lioness I composed.

I don't like how it's registered AND I'm an awfull player but it took me two hours so I want to post it. Damn

http://orig11.deviantart.net/1230/f.....na-db8a5kh.mp3

So... I want to tell you my day, because it makes me laugh. It was not a trolled day luckilly, but it's probably the day of "Hey I never did this before"

Today me and a friend of mine planned to spend the whole day studying biochemistry. We used her sister's flat in the middle of the townhall as base, I think that building was medioeval because part of the old pointed-arches on the windows were still visible. I never did that before XD

Anyway, as I guessed it (right before leaving my house), the extimateed real study-time was less then three hours of the 8 planned. We had lunch in place were none of us had lunch before... but the fun thing was that an american woman (probably, I'm not sure) asked me where she could buy a bottle of water in a place that was FULL OF PEOPLE SELLING FOOD AND DRINKS. I've been never asked such a thing in such place before XD

On the way back to our study-base, an old street artist with white hair and a huge box of markers started talking with my friends. He told us that he ate two kids already and that the doctor scolded him for that XD I ended up commissioning him a piece of art. I never commissioned a random man in the middle of a street before XD

Since I was not happy of all teh new things, I needed a paper block, so I went to buy it, and bought a bunch of colored chalks with brown paper instead. I've never used colored chalks before XD I suppose it's not so different from charcoals.

So I said to my friend, hey, I got the paper and the colors, bring me in a beautifull place I've never painted something en plein air and it should be a shame for an artist. So we went straight to the oldest part of the city, but during the journay he had the awfull idea to speak with one of those evil guys selling contracts at the corners of the roads. They disappeared inside a library and waited like an asshole in the middle of the street. Luckily, someone was playing a cello not far. I followed the music and found a handsome young player, i was having bore so I threw some money in his wooden coin-holder and started talking with him. If I remember well his name was Camì, or camille, I'm not sure he said Camì but it's a french name. He have been playing the cello since 16 and still needs practice. Since my friend was still busy I unpacked my new tools, sat down nearby the player and and started drawing. After a while I realized my friend was sitting not far, writing on his netbook. I don't know when but he took a shot of the scene XD
http://orig13.deviantart.net/0d09/f.....na-db4z1wn.jpg
I can say I've never drawn in a street before, and above all, I never drew nearby and handsome cello player. Damn, a part from the mahee's like outfit with naked feets and long-skirt he was not bad XD He had also mahees like blue-sky eyes, and they were so blue that they could steal a soul. Of course i gifted him the drawing. No such blue eyes should receive no love xD

BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET
Here's coem the nonsense! I was walking home when something bounced on my arm, right on my jacket. I looked to my left-hand side, terrified, I was sure that a pidgeon did his dirty job right on me. I was under a colonnade, nothing could rain under a porticato but pidgeon's poo. But my jacket was clean. I found an egg trapped in the collar of the jacket that i was holding. AN EGG! A pidgeon did an egg, missed the nest, and hit me! AND THE EGG GOT STUCKED IN MY JACKET WITHOUT BRAKING. It was still half red and half wet, God of the pidgeons tell me the sense of this!


Hope you enjoyed the summary of my day XD This is the one of the few days I'm not going to forget.
Indeed... hey it would be a nice idea to make the "DAY OF THE FIRST TIMES" out of it and celebrate it every year, doing nonsese things I've never done and paying attention to falling eggs.
*writes it on the calendar*

Should have done it two days ago but than I forgot... it just came to my mind that I wanted to start this poll!


So, in the last Sunday art cafè special everyone attending the stream was "no pants are my favourite pants", but I'm on the other other side were "no shirt is my favourite shirt"

What about you? #favouritePANTS (no pants) or #favouriteSHIRT (no shirt) ? X'D



PS: Mag, I know you're for #favouritepants
PPS: #nopants&noshirt is not aavailable, sorry XD

The dumbass counter:
#favouritePants: 9 - #favouriteShirt: 5

They are keeping me right into Medio-evo. è_é

My university was founded in 1000 a.C and it's still at that date.
Everytime, when I'm at lesson and I come up with a good idea to solve current problems I check on Google and I find out that my same idea has been under development for at least 10 years now, sometimes 20 years! How can we forge useful mind that way?? How can I develope something good without a knowledge of the instruments I can rely on? I could be working right now, They should have trained us in order to be usefull in the real world by now. Insteed, we are just usless little engineers with a brain filled with old information. Everything I do is keep studying math that I will never use because those models are so unrealistic that cannot be applied in practical study, and real models are too complicted to be solved without a computer. Since we are not allowed to use simulators here we go, with useless basics.
I'm a biomedic engineer, my job will be projecting new prothesys, and the only test I have regarding prostethic is a 30 hours long course (nothing compared to other tests) that barely explains pacemakers and acustic implants. I know nothing about other prothesys, but hey! I know how an old BJT works and how to build it! Oh, what do you say? It's out of production? Who cares! welcome to medioevo!

Sorry for the babbling, I'm doing a reasearch for one of my test regarding bionic hands and controls, and I'm finding out the existence of a whole new range of materials and actuators that does not exist inside my uni. And I'm so disappointed/angry about this. The things I'm reading were written 5-10 years ago and noone mantioned them in class, and noone will since my future tests have nothing to share with this field. So, keeping my knowledge updated is up to me. It looks like I should flee and reach USA were all this papers I am reading come from. But how?? I cannot just knock and "hey! I'm an engineer that know how to draw, let me in!". I would need one of my professor to speak with one of their friends on the other side of the ocean and let me work on my thesis legally, the next year. I feel like I'm stucked in a sea of viscoleastic mug. The more you struggle the more you get stuck.

So the end of the story will probbaly be that, since I'm not able to memorize all thise useless non-practical things, I'll end the master with a medium grade. This will probably prevent me to access phd because the the grade is all! It does not matter how smart you are, you need a good memory to develope new things right? You must be a brainless pc to have success in life, OR to know someone to put you in the place you want to reach. I guess all this story will end with me opening a bakery/cake shop with I library inside it, so you can read while you eat.

Anyway since I live in the Medio Evo I'll go to visit a medioeval art show in ferrara. I'll host the saturday-art cafè when I come back this night... so around 10 PM UTC.

Hope to see you there.
Have a nice day,
The Scarlet Artist

PS: If I ware really in the 15th century at least I could have a chat with Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Leonardo... pfff.
At lest know I feel better.

I just noticed It's a while since I last commissioned anyone, and you know that part of my earnings is reserved to support the art community. So, since I'm too lazy to hunt for artists right now, and since I'd like to support some of my watchers I'm leaving here few ideas and characters.
If you are interested in taking commissions, have a look below and tell me what would you like to work on. If you know artists that would be interested feel freeto link this journal to them XD
Don't be offended if I don't accept your offer, I am quite picky with styles and I care about the style matching the character (or simply, I may not have enaugh money to pay your fee aha XD).

So, here we go. What I'm looking for:

- DAISY
I have not a specific idea in mind, but she's a pinup girl with glowing gems and ice powers. It should not be difficult to paint a good portrait for her. Otherwise, she's also Scarlet's old enemy and loves to annoy her by showing off her body and ruining her planns. I may consider having a showdown among them painted.
references: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/.....r/256989/Daisy


- MAHEES
I want a good portrait for him, he's a mage with powers connected to sun, so the portrait should involve magic and lot of light. He also has a pair of light wings. The only requirement is being skilled in drawing abs XD I am willing also a picture with him and scarlet together, since they are companions.
Rferences: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/...../254147/Mahees

- LEO
I'd love to have a pic where he's building something, or painting, or studying, or cooking together with scarlet (which is a thing they love to do together). Also, I like the idea of a pic where they are studying on a giant book, Scarlet is angry because the book is unclear, hear hair tunrned into fire (optionally) and Leo tries to calm her down (or looks worried at the flames).
references: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/.....der/239270/Leo

- SCARLET
Many of you loves Scarlet, you're pretty free with ideas for her, just keep in mind her personality. Oh, I have an idea for pic with "two" Scarlet, one being the anti-scarlet, a sort of demon that was born from Scarlet's hate and fears and that tries to annichilate her.
http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/.....218813/Scarlet


If you like any of the above, leave a comment below saying which idea you like best. Don't forget to leave also a link to your commission info OR to tell me an extimated price range if you don't have a commission page yet XD
I really care about the artists preference because it's strictly connected to the quality of the final pic, so if you say "everything goes" or if you don't leave a preference I will probably ignore your offer ;P I am an artist myself I know how it works.

Hello dudes? :D How are you?
Merry Christmas from the scarlet (engineer) artist!

And, because everyone pretends to be good today, the first reply gets a free sketch of whatever

You know that you're hopelessly odd whe your mother eneters your room, find you writing with a scarlet feather and red ink on the (engineering) uni notes and keep talking about the tea like she saw nothing.

There was a time when she asked me what the hell I was doing everyday... I guess she got used to me and my 1*10^6 +1 ways to avoid bore X'D


oh, I will be streaming untill 2PM UTC
https://picarto.tv/LadyMartina

Hello!
I was feeling like... "huh! I bet I forgot something" indeed yesterday was saturday and I forgot to tell you that I'm on holiday and far from my workstation (I'm sorry about that, for what a stupid but funny streaming session counts) xD well, i was on holiday, I'm on the way home now. I managed to get rid of that overwhelming bore-oppression that doomed the last weeks and I'm back to my pretty creative good-shape. unfortunately I will need to waste part of it in order to get ready for my next test, but don't worry, the other part will go directly into the gift I'm working on for some of you. Don't miss the next streaming if you are curious, if you are not just wait for christmas. I will hopefully complete everything in time but I need hints from some of you first.

Oh the freedom of imagination with no limits, nothing better than new places or old loves to awake it. My bag has been filled with new projects damn!

Enjoy this rage-free scarlet as long as it lasts xD And thank you to all my little sunshines/supporters that make me proud of my job, you know universe is just a black hole if there is no eye to convert electomagnetic waves into colors (yeah I have my very own scientific way to build methaphors and say thank you ahahah). Anyway, enjoy Christmas and all this strage behaving.

Best Wishes from your Scarlet Engineer Artist.

Choccolate,

Bring me memories with your bitter scent
Recall what I forgot
Recover what lied lost

Give me taughness with your sweetness
Reinforce my will in front of defeat
Remember me how vistories taste

Bring my mind away from this golden cage
Hide this bloody battlefield
Enlight the darkest day

For I know how tasteless a dying spark feels,
My rarest smile is for you,

Choccolate.




A small tribute to what was called " the food Gods" once.
And, because the Choccolate show just gave a sense to this day ahaha XD
I'll go back working to the next epic YCH, and to my oil painting now.

Remember, the real choccolate is the dark one. But if you want to play a good chord, you can mix it with Rum.
