Midnite Star Edition

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 16, 2007, 4:41 PM


:snowflake: the story... (novel project by  Midnite)


In the Dream Realm exist the Dream Weavers, working under the Sandman,  a gentle, boy-like entity. Bad Dream Weavers Co-exist with the Good  Dream Weavers, a needed balance though the two kinds often clash. Even  Bad Dream Weavers, however, fear the Nightemare Creators. Midnite is a  Bad Dream Weaver, but rumored to be descended from a royal line of  Nightemare Creators. Even her colleagues stay clear of her due to this  connection. Midnite doesn't seem to mind. She takes pleasure in  twisting dreams to something more... unpleasant. While she is not  altogether cruel, she has no qualms in inflicting pain... and often  enjoying it. She is disgusted by Star, a golden pixie-like Dream Weaver  who's all sunshine and innocence, the type to frolic from dream to  dream, weaving visions of gardens or mermaids. Midnite may find herself in her own Nitemare when a mission requires them to join together.

Both embark on their dangerous journey through the Dream Realms.  Midnite's cold shoulder to Star slowly fades as the girl proves herself  to be more than sugary fluff witha genuine ability to love and  determination to protect those she considers friends. As star is  targeted by the Nitemare Creators, Midnite starts feeling strangely  protective. Star is the first to see underneath Midnite's cold exterior  and an unlikely friendship forms; they become the perfect compliments  to each other. After all, how can there be darkness without light or  light without shadows?

More than fiction...

Midnite and Star are more than just characters in a story. I originally  designed them as a type of mascot when Midnite (my best friend) and I  started an anime club for our local area. Midnite was inspired to start  a story for them while I continued doing artwork for them. They are  really exaggerations based off of us and we have taken them up as a  type of aliases. Because of this, not only can Midnite and Star be  strictly fantasy characters, but can be in modern or anime-related  settings as well.

:snowflake: I've collected a lot of artwork from other artists in the past few years, through Gaia contests, commissions, or sometimes a gift. :heart: I always encourage artists to draw them however they feel and they constantly surprise and delight me. I hope you will like looking through my collection as well. Under each category will be a link to the full photobucket gallery as there's too many to post them all. Unfortunately I could only find a couple of these on DA, but what ones I could, I linked to instead.

Commissions and gifts

:heart:  :heart: :heart: I adore *keiiii for this piece and she went above and beyond the commission :floating:. So check out her Web Comic!

I remember seeing the awesome detail she did with a ball point pen and had to commission her for the full background :heart:


One of the best sets of them to date! A talented traditional artist, Kuukie, from Gaia.


I wanted Midnite to somehow be included and so the artists did her as a plushie! So cute. ^^


Ahem, this news update in. Midnite and Star gave up their weaver duties to become... Bookworms! ;)

:D So are you doing another Star and Midnite contest? Or are you going to do other characters like you said you might on gaia.
Wow I can believe it would take two days if not more to do all the links from the contest on here.

Urgh yeah, well it was at least 3/4s of the one day to design the layout itself and get the css presentable. Getting all those images and everything was a pain lol Spoiled doing the " : thumb :" for DA compared to a href and img etc... and then it kept on doing weird and bizarre stuff... like needing to do two tags to close the images link or else it linked whatever text was underneath it... I stopped caring about figuring out why as long as it worked XD

That would be the 2 Hot 2 Cool characters... but I don't think I should hold that contest until after I start the manga and actually have something to show for it. ^^; So it's pretty likely there'll be a Midnite-Star contest. Probably next year so I can save up some bigger prizes (maybe we'll introduce a few of the side characters in the Dream Weaver world...). Midnite says for the next contest she'll post the first chapter even for those interested. I'm considering doing a DA contest for them one of these days.

Wow it sounds like you put a lot of work on it. But it looks wonderful and well worth all that you put into it. I hate when things fight me on here, gaia or on photobucket, it is quit annoying. But when it is all done it is well worth it.

:lol: Actually on here I am still trying to get a picture I want to use as my avatar on here down to the right size. I am off by inches and it won't except anything but 50x50. As I stated hate when it fights me. Hopefully I will get my avatar on here soon, because I would like to have one instead of what I have at the moment.

I think that you might be right about having some referance drawings for you characters from 2 Hot 2 Cool before you do a contest for your characters from it. I will be looking on here and on gaia then to see when you do start another contest. I think it would be cool also if you did some side characters from the Dream Weaver World. I think a lot of us would love for Midnite to post the first chapter of it, with the next Midnite-Star contest.
I like entering your contests on gaia the people on there were really nice that entered and talk to. I bet that you will get alot of us that will come back again and again. No matter what characters of yours you use. Because you are really nice to do a contest for. If you ever do one on here, I think I would enter also.
Well I hope that you will have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Well I have chibi references and normal character profile sketches of 2Hot2Cool characters, but I don't feel like gathering art and interest in characters without having started the manga portion of their story. ^^

What's wrong with resizing an avatar for DA? You can just use MS paint or something small like that.

I'm really glad you find the contests on gaia fun :) They're a joy to run and I adore the people that hang around to chat. :hug:

Hmm that is understandable, that you feel that way. Maybe you will feel up to it later on, maybe sometime in the new year. Either way I will try to keep a look out so I can try to draw any of your new characters.
I've tried it keeps rejecting it for some odd reason, I guess I am stuck in trail and error mode. I hope to get out of that mode real soon. Because it is really evil that it isn't working for me.

Actually yours was the second contest I had ever done. The first one I did wasn't that good. I found your first Star-Midnite/Midnite-Star contest around the same time and I thought I would try again. I am glad I did :D, because it was great, there was a lot of great people there. Same with this last time, when I found out it was going on. Through not that many chated with me. (lol Actually your second one was the third art contest I entered.)
But there was still fun to be apart of some how. Plus all the different input when they decide to help you get better. I really like that, that is why I am looking forward to the next one that you do put on. I'm glad that you enjoyed running them. You and Midnite are both great to hang around to chat with also :hug:

Yeah, though Midnite and our anime club tend to call me Star half the time in real life. I used to have blond hair before it naturally started turning brown. It's naturally somewhat of a goldish brown at the moment. Midnite wants to bleach it blond but it's just recovering from when she dyed it black so I could cosplay as Lenalee... that was just weird. I have worn violet contacts since I was 12.

Here's a pic of us many years ago at a rennaissance fair [link] :)
