Hey all!
I’m having a wonderful day! How about all of you?
Right now I’m using “illustrator” as in VECTOR ART. Never in a thousand years had I thought I would even bother with it again after college. But I’ve been gaining more interest in it after seeing acrylicana’s and Blush art’s works. What really made me finally go back into the fire was this crash course. It made learning illustrator so simple and easy! I usually get overwhelmed trying to use it but since it goes through all the tools I’m able to get a good grasp of it. The only thing about the course is after you get to week three you have to PAY a membership to see it for “free”. It doesn’t even really matters because by that point you can start creating with the knowledge you have and just go to other beginner tutorials for anything else.
Any way here’s the wips…
The picture I'm vectoring...
What I have now...
I REALLY want to work in flash next and start working on animation. I remember taking the class in Moore College during 11th grade and the process of making the frames. It’s not really hard but tedious. So at least making simple things move should be a good stepping stone for me.
The following week has been a very fun! My friend Brandon came over and we went to the Franklin Hills Mall that was like 1-2 hours away out of random. Okay not that random, he mentioned it the night before and I was like “we should do that just cause” and we went with that XD. The trip was mega fun despite the wet and cold weather. He got me stuff and everything; I felt so spoiled X3… I really do love my friends. He got me the best T-shirt ever that says “National sarcasm society, Like we really need your support”. He actually got me that t-shirt before he came over.
When we went to the mall he brought me WHAT I THOUGHT WAS a sonic robe, but come to find out it’s a sonic snuggie/"throw robe". So I pretty much got an oversized backwards robe with sonic on it. :| On the contrary the it makes a great blanket (which it is but with sleeves) when you sleep on the coach or playing video games so I love it. Once you want to do more then that it gets frustrating since it’s over sized and kinda retarded. He also brought me a lotion that I wanted in Bath and Body works. It smells really good and reminds me of him now since he used it too. XD He was going to buy me a latte form Dunkins but the damn store was closed when we were coming home. We did more but I don’t want to full up the post with that only. XD
I HAVE A NEW CRUSH… Well kinda sorta, it’s a mild crush. More like adore… His name is Alex Mercer and I met him in the mall. When I saw that blade for a hand I knew it was love. No wait when I saw him cut up a solider like sushi with his huge claws THAT’S WHEN I KNEW IT WAS LOVE… I have a thing for mutant bad boys (fan girl squeal). I’ll be a douche and let you guys figure it out what I’m talking about, who ever get the answer right gets a free sketch or something. :P
I’ll end it here since we got a full page full of stuff! I’ll update again in a few days or whenever haha. Have a good 10/10/10 guys!
Hey guys, time for a real update!
Since that last post I’ve been feeling much better, I hope I didn’t worry you guys too much. ;3; That was not my intention!
As of late I’ve been feeling a bit (or a whole lot) laid back from my latest endeavors like The Candy Sanctuary, trying to make a name for myself as an artist, and just trying to “make it” in the internet world. I will admit I enjoy doing it but at the same time it takes TONS of energy out of me, as well it stresses me out some. I just have this feeling that maybe I’m trying a bit too hard to get where I want to go and not doing enough “inside” to make it happen.
Everything always starts with you, so you got to maintain a happy and healthy mind set and stress can easily kill that. So I guess what I saying that I’m just (even more so haha) going with the flow. I feel like I need to chill out and let go. Along with this new mind set of mine I’ve been gaining more interest in the older activities I use to enjoy. It’s almost like a “close to home” kind of feeling with these hobbies XD… My favorite being Tokyo mew mew, I’ve been wanting for over a week to (re)write it, design characters, and spend a lot of time just making my entire fan stuff better. It’s just insane but it makes sense because I completely enjoy it and I’m not worrying if it’s going to make my internet “presence” better or anything. I just love it and that’s that matters!
So if you’re wondering why I haven’t been “active” lately that’s why. But that doesn’t mean I’m giving this place the boot. In fact out of all my art accounts (I got 4 I was trying to keep up with) I’m only actively visiting two, here and Fur affinity. Manga bullet and DA makes me feel so competitive and stressed to “to get my name out there” that I pretty much ran myself into the ground. It’s like no wonder I feel this way…<- That right there folks was my revelation just know “I am trying to hard” even when I vowed to “do my own thing at my own pace” I still was trying too hard, trying to squeeze myself out into the internet… I think I’m doing it wrong… <- 2nd revelation… There IS another way to get there but what I was doing wasn’t working for me thus BURN OUT…
Sheesh, I knew how I felt but I didn’t TRULY SEE THE REASON BEHIDE IT 100%. It’s good to write your thoughts down/post/blog you can really get behind your thoughts and even get insight! :D
In other news I notice the whole your art as TheO banner thing. At first I was like YAY! Then I was like “I don’t fucking care anymore” ( due to my laid back aura now LAWL)… If the art is going to be chosen like the feature thing then I REALLY DON’T CARE. It looks like fun no doubt but I don’t want to enter JUST to try to get my art up on the banner :... I’m just not in that mood haha, trying to get your art featured and stuff is a huge pain in the ass. Especially if you’re not in the general ratio of being featured… I’m probably taking the whole thing the wrong way but DON’T LIE YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE YOUR ART FEATURED AND STUFF TOO. And there is nothing wrong with that its just saying “I don’t like competing for the spot or online in general” XDDD
So that’s it, and before I go check out my friend Kelsey (angel zukaro) out she’s been feeling down lately and need some cheering up! :D Feel better Kelsey!
Freaken cast is going to be on the next episode of supernatural! I pretty much had a seizure and fan-jizzed all over the place when I saw it. But seriously I was starting to think I was having a seizure. >:|
I feel so late though, I just got into it last season when I was too lazy to get up from watching the vampire diaries, which I will say is a really good show. Its starts out cliché but it gets really juicy and drama-rific. DON’T JUDGE ME I CAN FEEL YOU ALL JUDGING ME.
That’s pretty much it. Useless post was useless… :<
I’ll make a real update tomorrow or something… ;3;
Hello everyone,
This weekend was indeed a very hard time for me. A lot has happened that really opened me to a whole light on what I really should be doing for myself and for my future I really want to create. I have made the decision to have moving out my number one priority. Rather then try to wait for everything to suddenly go right in this house I’m just going to take my life into my own hands. I really believe things will go a lot smoother when I finally have my own place to live. I know a lot will happen when I finally can come from under year’s worth of worry, stress, and just uncertainty. I don’t know how I’ll get there but I know its right there waiting for me. I really do need to be by myself and experience the peace of mind I really need. Not to mention I can actually do my clay crafts business full time which I can’t do here at home. That’s the reason why you haven’t seen any from me at all. It’s just too stressful trying to start a business when I don’t even have enough room to store my own clothes, books, and other things. We had plans to clean out the basement and we made the first move but I don’t have faith in it. I even had plans to clean out my own room so I can fit another table so I can have a fighting chance at it. I don’t have faith in that either because everything is always at a stand still. I wait and try to be patient but that went out the window during the weekend. I’m done now with everything, this house, waiting, my family (90% my mom and dad) bs, and just “this life in this house” I’m just done, and I can’t live in this house anymore.
So now I feel like I want to withdraw from a lot of things but at the same time I want to go full force on the ideas I already have. People have wonderful art and e-cards dedicated to me and I can’t even muster up the energy to comment because of what happened. I didn’t forget at all and I’ll comment on them once I get a chance. =__=0 I just need some time.
I’ll update again once I have a clearer mind, thanks for reading. :)
Hey all!
It’s been the 16th since I posted that’s over a week ago! So yeah its time for another update!
Nothing much really, I’ve been hanging out with my friend Brandon a lot in the last two weeks. Its nothing but fun fun fun when we’re together. We also had shrimp tempura sushi last week, OMG BEST SUSHI EVER. I recommend that sushi for any and everyone!
Hmm, besides that everything else is pretty much an art related update! It’s my favorite type of update anyway since it’s always something positive and I re-remember things I want to draw. The other day I was looking up the moon cake festival since I saw the word “moon cake” trending on twitter. I remember the name from an old show called “Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat”. I loved that show to death by the way I wish it still came on. But anyway I read up on the festival and fall in love with it! I love the moon goddess and the hare in the stories, its really enchanting! So I’m going to make a moon goddess fighter with a pet rabbit! It should be fun since I have a lot to work with! I think I’ll sketch out some ideas tonight.
Other art related things I’m planning to do is revamping my café mew mew banner. It’s pretty old and it can use a face lift so I figure I can do that for it. I’m really surprised that people still go to it so I want to give it some much need loving. I’m not sure of the things I’ll update it with but I’ll just go with the flow! That reminds me of an idea of a Halloween mew I want to make. It’s a bat of course with an orange and black dress. I got to keep that in mind for next time.
OH OH OH that reminds me of another really awesome idea I had got started on. It’s my own breed of furries called “Lolita puffs”. They have fur patterns like those angelic pretty prints with really fuffly fur around their neck, wrists, and ankles. I just started inking the base for one last night. I’ll probably do a few designs and build on the concept more as I go. EEEE I can’t wait to get it done and color one to death. I want one that has a “Melty chocolate theme” theme, BEST PRINT EVER.
I’ve been having a lot of ideas since Brandon left on Thursday or Friday. It’s probably because I wasn’t thinking about drawing or anything relating to it. I’m so glad too since I think I was starting to burn out big time. It was getting hard to get inspired and draw. Now I got some good ideas going and even sketching a lot of ideas in PS so I have the ball moving. Yay for more art!
I’m also getting a craze to make clay sweets; I’ll probably some cakes and donuts done if I can in the future.
I think that’s about all. Nothing is really going on that’s worth mentioning plus its bit on the negative side so I’ll wait till I’m in rant mode for those haha.
