More about Totonika, remembering Kira and news about The Underliving
Well starting with some random things, my first CD Ancient Shadows now is available in Japan through X-REC. If you're in this country you'll find it available here.
Totonika, my hamster remains very sick, she´s fighting but she´s gone on a down and we´re suffering so much for her. Keep updated or show her love at her official site Totonika.com. I love you TOTONIKA you are so brave, you make the decision to live or stay, but as long as you're with me you'll be the most loved hammie on earth. Thank you deep from my heart to all the ones that have left such pretty words in her guestbook and site and specially to Maria aka Yishana for the healing letter and sketch:
I'm re-living all the pain I underwent when my beloved dog Kira got sick and died years ago. I will never forget her and she has a special lullaby called "Good Night Kira" in the album. You can read the lyric/poem at KIRA´S SECTION and here is a drawing I've made to illustrate that song in my forthcoming album The Underliving.
To end this post, thanks very much to all the friends that have already donated for the release of the Underliving, we only have three weeks from now to send it to the factory if we want it to be in time for Faeriecon (USA), It will be out in 2011 for sure but I'd be happier if we can bring it with us to premier it there and thus I thank your support. Faeriecon is 3-4 Nov so that leaves us few weeks of margin.
The cd is READY, It's recorded, the artwork done, all we need is to gather the funds. It has 16 tracks and features some collaborations as Kelly Miller Lopez (harp) and Louisa John Krol (additional vocals) among others. This is a glimpse of the artwork included within:

What can you do to help THE UNDERLIVING RELEASE?
-Well you can DONATE. Even 1 Eur can help. There´s a Paypal donation form in THE UNDERLIVING PAGE

-You can BUY my first album or any item (original painting, pendant, book or craft) from the store. If you downloaded my first CD illegally... this is time to show your love and support purchasing the original, it will be all derived to pay the manufacturing of the new album. By the way you can preview and listen all the tracks at the link to make sure you migh like it. I'll be listing handmade items and specials during these weeks in the store.

Working in The Underliving artworks non stop... Friday USTREAM CONCERT
Well, reaching the end of it :), if things going well and working this month at this pace, early September all artworks and final mix of The Underliving should be ready to go to the factory. If we can fund the release (and thanks to all my supporters I'm setting a page for you that will launch soon) the Cd should be ready early August and so far we intend to premier it in Faeriecon (USA) and Hispacon (Spain) both in November. Please consider to spread the link of theunderliving.com in your networks, or share "off the lane" videoclip, or buy the single, or make a contribution, everything helps.!
So remember this drawing?
I decided to make the neck a bit shorter and while painting the eyes a bit less cartoonish, half of the drawings in the cd are more cartoon and the other half more "realistic" style, but I decide while painting to mingle a bit.
So here's a snippet about how the thing is looking at the moment, just a crop of a much bigger picture I should be sharing in a few days.

Had a super lovely sunday in the forest
I spent a lovely sunday out in the Catalonian forests with Héctor and my friends Jose Javier and Oristila. Both Héctor and Oris took me plenty of pictures that I'll share soon, I also recorded some video. It was so fun! I carried my harp (endorsed by Harpsicle harps) all the way. It is indeed so lightweight, but after hours of trek in the forest hahaha I really felt insanely tired. It was worth the effort, We got to see a lovely waterfall and back down we enjoyed some cheese and bread by the water. Overall a perfect day...
Here is Héctor wearing the YIDNETH t-shirt (even if you can´t see it LOL) soon available in the store. :) By the way my man is a little bit reckless :/ climbing and jumping...! I also saw boars for the first time, they were behind a fence but soooo cute!
A shot of the landscape (lush, green, wet, lovely). Photo by Héctor Corcín.
and one promotional picture we took up there also taken by Héctor of me playing my harpsicle harp. I'm wearing also the crown by Los Tesoros de la Ayalga, and my arm gloves and scarf by Opal Moon design. (see both in my endorsements). More lovely pics (and video) to come :) but so far sharing this one that I've called "Forest ballad"
You can see a bigger version of the photo in "My sponsors" gallery
Bienvenidos al rincón de trabajo de Priscilla Hernandez y sus hadas
Este es mi loco lugar de trabajo....!
Así que bienvenidos. También he habilitado un pequeño espacio fuera de la habitación para grabar sin el ruido de las máquinas pero la mayor parte de mi música se crea en esta habitación. Nunca está ordenada más de cinco minutos, pero es mi rincón mágico, lleno de recuerdos y bajo la custodía del hombre de la luna (gracias Patricia) y de Kira (que está por todos lados)
También podéis ver más fotos de mis instrumentos en esta otra sección de la web
Así que una primera visión en conjunto de mis "niños" :)
Arriba: Mi pequeño estudio. Podéis ver mi salterio, mi arpa (fullsicle), mis carrillones shanti y koshi, mi kantele, mis dulcimeres apalachianos (el baritono por Ron Ewing), algunas flautas, percusiones y otros accesorios.
Arriba: mi tambor "oscar" de Tribalthunder. También un cuenco tibetano que me regalaron tres haditas del norte de España mi pasado cumpleaños. También mi cajita donde guardo mis púas favoritas y semillas de serbal que según mi amiga Kelly que me las regaló protegen mis cosas.
Un panel totalmente desordenado donde pongo las cosas que debo hacer, notas, y posters de algunos eventos. Encima custodiado por Kira (dibujada y enmarcada por mi amiga Melissa Irwin) y en la estantería mi jouhikko, una especia de lira sajona/violín vikingo muy difícil de domar pero que estoy aprendiendo a tocar. Y al fondo más whistles y cosas que hacen ruido. hahah!
.
Arriba: el micro que utilizo más un rodek2, aunque he probado micros mucho más caros por ahora esoty muy contenta con este para grabar la mayor parte de mis instrumentos, me gusta su tono y es muy versátil. También arriba mi teclado Roland rd700sx con teclas de piano, que es el que más uso junto a un Roland fantom. Tengo varios teclados vintage pero ya en desuso.
Por las fotos de arriba no es difícil averiguar cuales son mis películas favoritas... !! También podéis ver la muñeca que Alba García esculpió inspirándose en mí en compañía de criaturas del Cristal Oscuro.
Arriba mi ordenador donde tengo que hacer la mayor parte del trabajo de edición, mis monitors y mi tarjeta de sonido. Sí, confieso que necesito actualizar mis monitores de estudio, pero mientras confío en más oídos en los míos para la mezcla. También más muñequitos por si el patio no estaba suficientemente lleno una brujita de Patricia Hedegaard y también oculto por ahí Jareth de Laberinto.
Y bueno ahora vuelvo a mi estudio para seguir trabajando, espero que os sintiérais bienvenidos y cómodos.
I have created a blog called "YOUR FANTASY COSTUME": tips and tricks for the perfect fantasy gowns
My "Cinderella" complex...! :) Now seriously you know I'm a lover of fantasy wear :) and thus I spend quite a lot of time looking for beautiful things I'd like to wear on my shows :), so my favourite folder was all full and decided to put everything in order in a blog that I promise to update very often :) so bookmark it :) and well, it's purpose is to build a guide for cosplayers, and lovers of fantasy fashion overall!
