Moving About~!

Since I promised I move my stuff from 'my brother's desk' I decided to move into my bedroom for once. So now I have a laptop in my bedroom...

It's so weird! It feels like I'm on a trip or something! ;w;

I should be studying these past few dayss...buuuut....studying is boring...;m; So I've just been watching dance videos.

And...OMIGOSH! NYANTARO IS AMAZING:

I imagine telling somebody 'go look up Nyantaro Toyko Teddy Bear'...and I wonder what they'd think it would be! XD

...I'm also intrigued by his hair...

And there are sooo many ADORABLE nico nico dancers! ;w;

This one is the cutest just because the guy in the middle DOMINATES...otherwise, if we're talking about sheer cuteness this one wins by far:

I dunno about you, but I think guys look really good with their calves showing...

Which is also the reason why back then men wore tights because it was fashionable because emphasis on the calves was very good looking on men...which I totally agree with~! >:D

Yup, yup...and then I watch this video...

THAT LOOKS LIKE THE FUNNEST DANCE EVAAARRRRR!!

Okay, I'm done~! These are all too addicting! ;w;

Twilight makes me depressed...

I feel like I've already talked about this before...XD

Whenever it's twilight outside I begin to get anxious and then depressed...now it's no longer twilight and I'm excited~! >:D For what? For nothing!

Sometimes I wish I dream of becoming the concept artist for SNK or Capcom...or just any game where I get to re-design or re-draw characters from the series...;w; *sigh* *sigh*

Well...after all my nerve-wrecking I feel like I'm back a square one...which is kinda where I want to be. Before I was like, 'I wanna be a concept artist!!' then I was like 'I want to be an illustrator of anything~!', then 'I can't be an illustrator, so I'll be somebody having to do with foreign affairs', and now I just wanna be a concept artist.

I'm going back based on what my mom said when I came to her crying about how I don't know what to do anymore and she just said do whatever it takes to get where you want to be. So that's what I want to do. I'm going to quit lying to myself that I actually want to be these things...

But I want to help people anyways, so I'll try and do that...but art is, and will always be, my passion.

And I'm going to probably keep with my same idea for college, by transferring to any art college.

Now...why am I posting...

Umm...well, I've just been doing things to relieve stress...

'cause semester exams are coming up and I haven't studied and my friend's birthday is tomorrow and I haven't made her present yet...;m; And I only have 3 more hours left of this day....

Another thing....

I LOVE THIS SONG TO DEATH:

Anybody else feel like they're transported to another world!? I love the bells~! X3

I've been character designing a bit...so what I probably should be doing is...going into further detail...

I really love how much Nheira on DA posts in his journal so much. He shows his outlines for his manga...his official outlines for his manga...they're just doodles...XD

I need to at least write some stuff...

Oh, crap, writing...I've forgotten about so much...bahh...bahh...

Christmas is coming up~! X3 I kinda feel the name should be changed to Santa Day or something...

I gave my mom a list a while ago...and I really want all the stuff on there, but I know she's only going to buy one of the things on there...but some things cost liike $60 and some cost $5...(yes, why put a $5 gift on there? It's an old-ish game...for some reason the price for it is VERY low despite it being a pretteh good game, or so I hear).

I really want persona...;m; The art on pixiv mocks me...>3>

And then I want the SF20: The Art of Street Fighter...;w; HAS SO MANY OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS!

Though I'm not really a big fan of Street Fighter...there just aren't many SNK art books...I wish there was one for King of Fighters, but there isn't...TT^TT

Ash Crimson seems to be my stress reliever....

Can't stop drawing him...and this video is pretteh awesome...where's his theme song youtube?

Oiii this song is very awesome:

Okay, okay, sorry for the randomness...You can tell I'm just searching through youtube for...anything...XD

Okay, sorry for saying basically nothing...bye-bye!

Let's work harder everyone!

Although, I'm sure the majority of you guys are working pretty hard! XD

I just got rejected from NSLI-Y, again...not like I haven't been rejected twice from things before. I'm currently very sad right now, but at least I can do it next year (which gives me a bit of relief). (But I may have just lost the chance because I got confused with the deadline dates, which really kills me)

My mom gave me a hard time about it. She said she didn't want me to do it in the first place and said that I was too immature to do it...

I guess she's right.

So I'm just going to try my very best now...I thought I tried my best now, but since obviously I have yet to get any good results from it I guess I'll have to try even harder.

I guess this post is also to those who feel like they've been lazy...even if you've failed several times that just tells you that you should get up and fight stronger for your dreams.

So I will try and force myself to work on all the things I've set aside, if I like it or not. And work hard.

I was so focused on that program and learning languages that it took up most of my time, and also most of my excuses for doing nothing...

Which also means less time doing silly stuffs on the internet...XD (Like posting all the time...XD)...so this may mean I'll be on this site less...-ish...?

You can tell I don't like being exact...which is another thing I need work on. I just need to work on everything, I guess...XD

But the beauty of it all is that we have google to answer our questions and to help us out on EVERYTHING~! :D

Okay I'm done with that...XD

In other newsss...I just tried kimchi with potatoes and it was SOOO YUMMY~! X3 So I suggest you try some, too!

I also got a (very random) art book of Norman Rockwell. It's not a very good book because they combined famous literature quotes in it...I mean, I guess that may sound like a good idea but I prefer to know about the artist rather than have a theme of the book. But I guess it'll help me with Academic Team...XD

Norman Rockwell is my favourte American artist. He's the only person I've seen that makes happy art...not gothic, dark, edge-y, any of that kind of art. Sure, some of it looks a bit creepy, but it all has a sweet charm.

Lately I've felt the need to write an essay or something about why anime is art because the more I look at the famous art the more I realize how wrong the people are that look down on anime (even though it's technically manga...XD).

Also, there really is no style...it's like saying realism style...I mean, there probably is a realism style...it's called realism...but manga...manga is like another dimension. It's not realism, it's not semi-realism, it's manga...liiiike the next dimension of art. I mean, it's not even really a style, it's a way of drawing. It's an art form.

I mean, it just obviously is. Just like realism, 3-D art, typography, etc. is an art form so is anime.

I understand these colleges and whatever wanting people to create their own art form...but it's just impossible to give yourself complete freedom...because with that freedom you're excluding yourself from stuff like anime etc..

Next time somebody asks me why I draw what I draw I'll have to go into much detail. It's the lines, it's the emotion, manga just delivers their message so much clearer than realism and with so much energy. That's what I feel most art forms do not stand a chance to. The emotion that an anime styled picture gives you is different than any kind of art form I've seen (besides illustration, kinda).

Somehow I'd like to show this love for manga and all my other passions in art to prove to the critics that they are wrong to criticize.

Okay, woah, sorry for the almost dramatic post...XD And for the ranting. I was in a good mood today

...let's see a happy-dappy-crappy picture~! :D

Okay! Bye-bye~!

Which blogging account!? O.o;

Well, after trying to login to tumblr for the 50 billionth time I decided to go to another blogging site...too much trouble just to login...>3> (Though, the good news is that my account actually exists, I just can't access it...)

So should I got on FC2 Blog or Blogger.

I've seen the majority of artists on Tumblr...but a lot are on FC2 Blog...only a very small amount have I seen with a Blogger, though...

In otha newsa...

I found the perfect Kiyoshi look-alike~! :D (Why am I so busy trying to find a look alike for Kiyoshi?):

External Image

Except his face should look like he's Japanese and some kinda European...so I fixed it so that he looked like that:

I messed with him so much that he no longer looks realistic...or like Jonghyun...XD

I got a mixture of random people like Tomohisa Yamashita and some random American celebrity (dunno his name, but I know I've seen him somewhere).

But just so ya know, that's not his skin colour at all...XD I just had to do something about his skin so I made it grey-ish with a hint of colour 'cause the other people I chose had MUCH different skin colours and it look weird...XD

Yup, yup...it looks kinda like this picture of Kiyoshi, doesn't it?

External Image

Actually, there was a picture of him facing straight that I was going to use, but for some reason I just couldn't get his face right...O.o;

This is the picture that caught my eye into thinking he looks like Kiyoshi:

External Image

He just looks too Korean, though...and his nose needs to be pointy...and needs blue eyes (but that'd be pretteh rare).

...

I got stuck in Zelda which is why I'm not playing it right now...XD

But I can't think of any possible way out...I'm in some room with NOTHING...No, actually there's a bunch of stuff, but I can't do anything with it...>3>

I'll look it up latuurrr...

I need to post some art on here...I need to work on those requests...I need to post on pixiv...I haven't at ALL...I'll post some fan art on there...since it seems like the place for fanart...XD Liiike where it'd be more appreciated compared to original art.

Oh! And...TA-DAA~! MY THEME SONG~! :D

Nah, nah! XD I'm just kidding! But when I saw it I was like 'LOLLIPOPS!!' and then I heard it I was like 'I LOVE THIS TO DEATH!!'...XD

Okay...I'm done talking about nothing...XD

BYE-BYE~! X3

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Finally got the game Wednesday, I think?

I've been playing it ever since~! <333

I HAVE to say...it is A WONDERFUL GAME! There is never a moment in a game where you feel like you have to wait (or where you can relax...XD). The gameplay has to be the best I've ever encountered and it's just so perfect in its perfectness~! X3

I LOVE that beetle thing! I always wonder in Zelda games where I'm going or how to get to a certain place, so I use that beetle to show me where to go...XD (That's not really it's purpose, but whatever...XD)

I'm already on the third dungeon.

My main problem with it is that it has yet to feel like a Zelda game. Maybe I felt the same way with the other Zelda games that I played at first, but it's just something about this one that kinda disappoints me.

All the people on the ground are new creatures...(that I don't particularly like). They all seem like Mario kinds of creatures. Nothing like gorons or zoras or koroks or anything fun like that...>3>

The sword spirit girl...I forgot her name, they said her name ONCE and it was so short I've forgotten it...XD She's not as annoying as Navi, but not as lovable as Midna since she's very repetitive and keeps telling you the percent chance, which is kinda annoying...>3>

The animation is really pretty.

The score sometimes reminds me of Joe Hisaishi's music sometimes..even though he does mostly piano songs...hrmmm...like a mixture of Studio Ghibli music and Super Smash Bros. music I guess...XD It doesn't sound like Zelda music at all...XD Even though a lot of the melodies are the same as in the old ones.

I'll feel better once I find a zora, but right now...no zoras and only ONE goron.

Why does Nintendo hate Gorons? I really love these guys, yet they've only put one goron in each game, lately, or in Twilight Princess they basically did nothing except sumo wrestle with you and throw you up the mountain. What happened to the Gorons that make you part of the family like in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask!?

This game takes place before Ocarina of Time and before Hyrule and all that jazz...before all the stuff we know and love! TT^TT

Oh! And there are robots! I was surprised...and slightly disappointed 'cause I thought they'd be liike stone spirits or something...

No spirits in this game...and hardly any fairies...

There are also no ghosts either (so far) and it bothers me that this game doesn't scare me! ;m; Except for the music in certain parts...XD

Another thing that I love about Zelda games is the creepiness of certain parts...but this one has yet to have any of that!

I also worry about how long it is...

Sooo right now if I'd give it a score it'd probably be liike a 20/10 for the gameplay, but a 7/10 for everything else just 'cause it's kinda boring if it weren't for the gameplay...nothing particularly lovable so far.

Oh! Also! There seems to a be a recurring theme of watercolours and paintings! The landscape is faintly like a painting, when it goes farther out it looks like they're strokes. And the 3D designs are much different than any other game I've seen. None of the characters seem particularly bulky like in most 3D games and everything seems very clean.

So that's what I've been doing for the past couple of days...and...more...since I plan on going back them after this post...XD

What else to saaayyy....? Well, it's a very good game so I recommend buying it~! X3

Bye-bye~! Gonna go play some more~! XD (I only stopped 'cause my wii remote ran out of power...;orz)
