:bulletgreen:In My Life:bulletgreen:

Hello everyone! It's been so long since I updated my journal I don't even know where to start... I've been especially busy with my studies this year since I've been writing my Bachelor's Thesis. As a fantasy freak I obviously had a fantasy novel as a subject – I studied how the fantasy novel in question utilized Nordic myths and mythology, and how this material helped building the secondary world. In the begginning of May, after hours and hours of reading, writing, hair pulling and buckets of coffee I finally finished it. Even better, today I got the results: my professor gave me A! :dance: I'm so happy now! By the end of this year I should finally be a Bachelor of Arts.
Now that my summer holiday officially began, I hope to be more active around here, too. I'm sorry I haven't been able to answer your comments and take a look at your newest deviations. I'll have some serious browsing to do before I've seen even tenth of them, though. Oh well, they said it will be a rainy week anyway... I should have plenty of time to hang around dA. :D
Cheers to all of you! Also, once again thank you for all the faves, comments and interest you've shown! I really appreciate your support. Hope you all have a wonderful May!

Best wishes,
Iribel

:bulletgreen:New Group For Blackmore's Night Fans:bulletgreen:

To put it short: all of my favorite bands have a group of their own except Blackmore's Night. That can't be the case for such an awesome band so I simply went and made a group for them. If you have artwork inspired by Blackmore's Night or you simply enjoy their music, feel free to join and contribute.

:bulletgreen:Factory Of Dreams:bulletgreen:

As many of you probably know I created the artwork for latest Factory of Dreams album "Melotronical". It was a huge project that took me most of the last summer and autumn. Knowing how much I love to create art inspired by music I was obviously thrilled. It was a long, challenging and wonderful project to make the entire booklet that includes these images among others:

The album is available both at ProgRock Records and iTunes . Go get yours!

My name is Linda and I'm a 22-year-old girl from Finland. I'm studying at Helsinki University major in Finnish Literature and minor in Comparative Literature. I also work as a freelance reporter for the local newspaper, draw comics for Finnish taekwondo magazine and take art commissions every now and then.
I love reading books, writing stories of my own, watching movies and tv-series, playing games and (of course) creating art. I enjoy all kinds of stories in general whether the medium is music, visual art or literature. I also love anything and everything fantasy related. It has been so essential part of my time for so long I can't even remember the time when I wasn't dreaming about fairies, hobbits and knights in shining armour. As literature student as I am my bookshelf is filled with fantasy novels (rather than literature classics) and I can't even count all the times I have seen The Lord Of The Rings movies.
Artwork in this account is mostly consisting of photomanipulations I have made during past few years. If you are interested, read more from About Iribel and F.A.Q.. For my digital drawings, comics and stock art, take a look at my other accounts:
