It's not that I'm inactive...

I'm just lazy. I've been drawing and posting things on my tumblr, but the file sizes are too big to post here. Yeah, I could simply follow the rules and put it down to the size they accept but:

  • I always forget how big it should be
  • I end up with copies of different sizes of my work

In the end I just feel like it's not worth it so I don't upload.

I've got a new project I'm working on, hopefully it'll be done in two weeks, called The Bun Babe. Some updates about LoveNote: I'm still working on getting the files screetshot from MangaStudio because it keeps crashing; I'll have to redo it on Photoshop.

Check out my website for more updates, and follow me on tumblr!!

College and Stuff

Except for my essay screw up, which I fixed(I was supposed to email my prof my essay draft Friday, but FAU's email is foreign to me so I didn't attach it properly; I ended up sending him a blank email. I recognized the problem today and emailed it properly this time. He accepted it, thank goodness!) everything's turning out ok. My Sociology prof, Gina, said she can write me a letter of recommendation to FSU--which is awesome because she was a graduate student there AND she was a prof there for several years! I'm trying to transfer there for the Spring term.

As far as commissions go...I need lunch money to put into my account(I'm so broke right now, most of my funds all go to food). Again, want anything customized(like shoes, bags, clothes, etc) or want me to draw/paint you something, I'm all for it!

I'm just waiting here in the library for my mom to pick me up. My last class ended at 3:30 and she doesn't get out of work 'til 5:30. I bet now my dad regrets not letting me get my license those couple of years ago; he gets so pissed when I need to get to school or leave. He keeps expecting me to have all this work to do, but honestly...compared to my IB and AP classes, this is all cake(mmm cake). My work is all done. I've read ahead. AND I have pretty easy classes to begin with.

Ok, KaidaFaye out!

Personal Life Rant

Usually I don't do this, but I feel like it tonight.

I get that I messed a lot of shit up between me and him last year, but he still stayed with me, and still tells me that he loves me. I know it's hard trusting me again, but I'm true and dedicated to him, and I know that trusting me fully is gonna take a long long time, and I'm happy that he's still with me, even if we don't have a title. Knowing you still say "I love you" without any sex involved feels great, and probably why I can stand not having a title between us right now. But it hurts to hear that he doesn't think I miss him while he's spending 2 weeks in Europe. I love him. I seriously screwed up before, last year, but I love him and it probably sounds stupid coming from someone just entering college. I don't care. I'll keep trying to prove that I can be trusted.

I used to not treasure my relationships before because of a guy I used to be involved with. I forced him out of my life, he was no good for me. No matter what relationship you're in, if you recognize that it's good treasure it. Treat it special, otherwise you'll end up in my mess--all because I didn't appreciate what I had right in front of me.

Back Online

Been away for a while, been busy with school and etc...I GRADUATED!! Next stop, college!

So, my goal for this summer is to finish a 48-50page installment of my comic G33K!! Hopefully will get a new laptop within in the next 3 weeks, so maybe I'll get shite done, you know? I've been using my mom's for the past year.

I need to go get comicking supplies too:
Multiliners
new sketchbooks, at least 8"x10"
Copic markers
boxes of mechanical pencils
packages of Magic Rub erasers
new triangle rulers

Honestly, the Copic markers are a dream. I've never used them and they're super expensive considering my wallet, which right now is currently nonexistent, excluding the $10 for gas money. And if my parents go through with the laptop graduation present, I'll have really no need for any of the stuff I mentioned. I want to get thisreally bad, but it's about $1000 and the keyboard that comes with it is a bluetooth one, and I want it to be detachable/attachable so it'd act like a regular laptop in class. Thisis the idea I have, except this tablet isn't really a PC, to me it's just a giant Android phone slash IPad competitor, which again, isn't a PC. The Asus Slate I want actually is Wacom, so it works well with Photoshop and everything. And since it's Windows, I could use it for school...it's just be easier for me if it had a detachable keyboard. Still on the laptop search for a fallback tablet convertible laptop.

Well, I'll go do stuff now. Bye bye!! I wonder if anyone really pays attention to my shite anymore, oh my...hah.

"You...don't wanna go for a RIDE, do you?"

Geezes, I love Aladdin.

Anyways, the more I draw, the more I find myself drifting from manga to a mix of manga and Disney. I kinda like it. And it's great, because that's kind of my theme for my portfolio this year. I'd upload some stuff but a)the pieces are too big and b)I can't set up the new scanner for the pieces that DO fit.

I sometimes feel like I'm getting worse at drawing, which is probably why I always want to show it off to people, to reassure myself that I'm actually getting better, based off their facial expressions when they see it.

I think my style is something I'm very close to defining now: something simple but detailed. A couple of people have said that when they look at my art, it looks like it's really simple but then when they look at it longer/closer they realize the small details I put into it(for example, drawing absolutely EVERY strand of curly hair 'til the whole head's filled).

I think what I like drawing most is the face...well, yeah, EVERYONE likes drawing the face, it's the first thing you learn. But it's the facial expression I like putting effort into, and the rest of the body has to flow along with that face. It reminds me of water.

I don't really have a point to writing this, I just felt like expressing myself some
