Fan Castle Sunday: Interview with Elise!

Welcome to another #FanCastleSunday!

….She is famous for her amazing gifs, and I’ve enjoyed seeing her posts throughout the years, so please give a warm welcome to the one and only ☆ Elise!

I am right there with her on how this wonderful fandom has allowed her to blossom. Because of the friendliness of  High Castle fans (and cast & crew!), I’ve been able to break out of my incredibly shy self. I will be forever grateful for that. ❤

Tell the world a little bit about yourself!

my name is elise. 25 years. i live in france. i hold a tumblr: @joexjuliana.

What drew you to Amazon’s the Man in the High Castle?

i watched the pilot in july 2015 and i was immediately seduced by the idea of “what if?” i quickly became attached to the character of Joe and Juliana (and the others of course, but it’s two there first).

At what point were you hooked? 

this is the first series that gives me this effect. i have never been so addictive to anything else. I love EVERYTHING. the characters, the atmosphere, the story. ALL. that’s why i decided to create a blog on tumblr. i needed to share and exchange about this show. 

Speaking of special, the TMITHC fandom is the best fandom I have ever been blessed to be a part of. The absolute kindness and friendliness I experience on Twitter keeps me coming back and is why I keep drawing and creating the things that I do! What is your favorite thing about being a part of this fandom?

it’s so true. it’s the best fandom in the world. no ridiculous war of ship. everyone respects everyone. it’s very rare. and thanks to this fandom, i was able to blossom and open myself.

What is the inspiration for the amazing gifs you make?

very good question. and to be honest, i don’t know. I just love to make gifs and exchange with the fandom. it’s the first time in my life that i feel like I belong to something. that i am useful. so i think my motivation has to come from there. EXCHANGE WITH OTHERS. and give something to others.

The creative minds behind TMITHC are talented artists who never cease to amaze me with the sets/scenery, soundtracks, and costumes. What is your favorite set?

I really like the tagomi office. very well decorated. the new smiths apartment in the s3 and the old house of jules and frank.

How did you feel when they announced that Season 4 will be the final season?

i knew this fatal day would come. i was extremely sad. i mean, the man in the high castle has been in my life for 4 years. thanks to this show i was able to meet incredible people/actors. it’s going to be horrible to say goodbye for good…

Name one thing you’d like to see happen in S4.

i would love to see joe and frank again. with parallel universes, i know it’s possible. see them help juliana in her quest. please, give me one last time a HAPPY joe. he suffered too much.

Return to Tomorrow: July

I am losing the War Against Busyism ; it is such an unfortunate truth, but that doesn’t mean I was idle while waiting in the trenches. I was able to scribble out a few things for the month of July. A patriotic prelude to my new avatar Pencil drawings are such fun! I have plans to make a digital version of this ink sketch. I’m a Fighter Pilot – The image I created my avatar out of. It’s too wide to post on here, so here’s the link! 7/3 books read. Thank FSM for lunch breaks.

High Castle is Coming to SDCC Again!

News on the High Castle Front!  High Castle is going to be at San Diego Comic Con again! Going off of last year’s SDCC appearance, we can expect some hints about Season 4, a release date, and a trailer! I have no idea what to predict about S4, so I’m going to hold all of my theories and speculations until after the panel. I CAN’T WAIT! Yet, it is also a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is the final season of the show that has been a huge part of my life since 2015. Never before has a TV show captured my imagination like Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle.   Here are the details as posted by the official @HighCastleTV Twitter account: When: Sat, July 20th at 4:15 PM I am assuming this is PST, so it will be 7:15PM for us East Coasters. Where: Room 6A I truly wish I could be there! Costume designer Cate Adair posted some details on Instagram, and I WISH I COULD TELEPORT THERE. Okay. Deep breath 😉 There will be a costume designers guild booth (#734) in the main conv...

A Quick Post

I have some good news! The deadline for the contest has been extended to 25 May! The cover is waiting patiently for 31 May. I am excited about all of this! Part of me is tempted to post the evolution of the cover from the first sketches, to the first design, and finally to the final image. It is crazy to think that the idea I had in 2010 has turned into a full length novel! Well, enough cryptic words about the cover! Here is what I’ve been up to lately in the world of art: If Babylon 5 was an anime…and had a spin off series dedicated to the Psi Corps!  ** NOTE ** I used google translate for the words “Psi” and “Corps,” so the translation might not be 100% accurate.  I periodically run drawings for free commissions on Facbook! This was for the winner of my St. Patrick’s Day drawing.  More Babylon 5 fanart. This is one of the advantages of painting, if you want to decorate your walls with something obscure, you can! Sparkly space hi...
