I haven't updated this in eons. D:

In a nutshell:
:bulletblue: I have a nephew. :heart:
:bulletblue: I got a job!
:bulletblue: ...then I lost it. :(
:bulletblue: I'm trying to get another one or go back to school.

I've still been drawing. I've been playing video games too.

I wasn't expecting Star Ocean: The Last Hope to be as good as it is. I like how you can change who you control during battle and how you knock enemies into the air, so physical people aren't completely useless, since enemies can't use magic while they're up there. :XD: And Faize and Lymle are adorable. :aww:

I don't have the internet, so I'm accessing it from the library now.

I must be doing something right...

...to appease Fortune like this! :XD:

First, :iconblackmago: had a contest where he was trying to find shops to sell his merchandise that I won.

Then, I won :iconmooglegurl: monthy giveaway contest! She has one every month for her active watchers. All you have to do is watch, comment, +fav, and maybe even say hello to her if you like :3 I've entered for fun, but not won, but now, I've won and I'm all, like, *squee*. :iconsqueeeplz:

I'm going to eyeing the mailslot in eager anticipation! :D

Saga Frontier

I have been playing Saga Frontier a lot lately. It's an 11 year old game for the PSX, but it has aged well gameplay-wise. Anyway, I am surprised at the dearth of fanworks for this game. I see creepy slash for everything under the sun, but this game with honest to goodness homosexuals has nothing. I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.

I've also been playing Pokemon Diamond. I like how the partner characters can be used in the Battle Tower. Mira has such crazy hair!

I want to practice making comics, so I've been doing that. I don't have anything I'd like to show, yet.

I'm looking forward to Screnzy next month.

Also, I have a new avatar. I :heart: it! Angelishi is awesome!

New Year's Gift Art

To make up for the fact that I couldn't do anything for the holiday, I've decided to offer new year's gift art. I've seen people do characters on bases and I'd like to try it. If you're interested, just comment saying so and give me a link to what you want drawn - it can be fan art or your own character.

Memories
I got the idea for this from :iconeclipsis:.

I have mixed feelings about my art. I look at the back end and front ends of my gallery and see that I've improved, but there's so much I don't know and there're so many things I can improve.

I've been drawing for a long time, but I haven't improved much until fairly recently. Back then, I didn't think I was the best, but the people around me mostly praised me and I never got any constructive critique. Of course, back then, I was also a realist. I don't think anyone can tell this by looking at my art now. :XD:

As for how my art shifted from realism to w/etf it is now... *points to icon* Yes, it is because of Flaaffy. Or to be more specific, because of Ken Sugimori. That is why Flaaffy is my avatar and why Sugimori is one my favorite artists. When I first saw Flaaffy's concept art, I was compelled to draw it. I drew it in pencil, crayons, pastels, glitter glue... Pretty much, I drew a Flaaffy in whatever medium I could get my hands on. I also started doing abstract art inspired by Flaaffy's head wool. Some of this ended on a magazine cover for independent school. This poor girl was obsessed.

In retrospect, this was not a very good idea. I don't have a grip on realism now. I kind of wish I had some guidance, like, "Hey, I know you like drawing Flaaffy, but you might want to do some more realistic stuff too. Like, how about a realistic Flaaffy?" As a kid, the idea of drawing something stylistic realistically didn't occur to me. I just drew what I wanted to draw.

I remember thinking back then digital art wasn't "real art" when I saw some in the DIA as part of a DPS student art exhibition. When I tried to draw in MSPaint, myself, I saw I was clearly, clearly, CLEARLY mistaken. :fear: It's just as tough. I have callouses on my fingers from traditional art and more on my wrist from digital art!

Later on, in high school, :iconheaddeskplz: I took art class and the things I was learning kind of blew my mind. I didn't know about shading and all before. The teacher may have sucked, but what she taught was sound. I carried what I learned there into my own art and since I had more knowledge, I was able to see what I liked about others' art and what I disliked about mine. Before, I was just, like, "I like this." and "I don't like that." but I had no reason why and I had no idea how to improve.

Now, I draw mostly for fun. I draw from observation, from photos, and I try to emulate things I see other artists to. I still have a lot maturing to do art-wise.

:iconsnow--skitty: was the one who got me to join dA, so I suppose I should thank her. :heart: As for other earlier influences, I'm better off linking to an old, old journal... [link] :aww: I wonder what's up with Mel, Cas, and Anry?

:bulletblue: Art for ~KM-cowgirl.

Progress: 20%. Sketch done.

Commissions___
:bulletblue: Discount Website Commission for ~netsune.

Progress: 20%. Color scheme and skeleton (?) done.

Comics___
:bulletblue: I.R.P.O. Original comic. Urban Fantasy.

I.R.P.O. is a crime drama with a fantasy setting. The main character, is Damian, the Prince of Diamonds. He is a gem spirit and therefore, the son of the king of light and the queen of earth. He was born and raised in the realm of earth and knows little of his father. He has a strong sense of justice, but is spoiled and used to having things come easily to him. When he comes of age and decides to leave the realm to meet his father, he discovers the outside world is more difficult than he thought and gets lost. The Inter-Realm Police Organization - I.R.P.O. - is recruiting and it appeals to him, so he signs up for the training, passes, works there as a police officer for years, and then becomes a detective.

Progress: 10%. Character designs; I've only got the hero and his mother done. ^^;

:bulletblue: La Patisserie. Original comic. Comedy.

The old version of this comic is in my Scraps.

Waffle Iron is the product of Le Salé's cutting-edge technology. Perhaps a little too cutting-edge. What should've been a child's plush toy turned into a WMD after too many overzealous scientists built in things, like knives and laser guns. After blowing up the convention center she was being shown off in, she tries to live a normal life in the quiet town of La Patisserie in Le Sucré of the Realm of Light - a.k.a. Paradis. But with bounty hunters and a vengeful holy man on her tail, it's not going to be easy.

Progress: 60%. Story, character designs, layout; This is a remake, so it's essentially done, but I want to update the characters' designs and rewrite the script.

:bulletblue: Now With 80% More Wisconsin Dairy Products! Original comic. Comedy.

Milk "Mimi" Smith is an 18 year old girl from Westby, Wisconsin. She's fresh out of high school with aspirations of becoming a model. She moves to Green Bay and hires an agent who gets her some appointments in New York City, New York. Things are going well enough until she is attacked by a monster that seemingly only she can see. She is captured by it and dragged to another world. There, things only get stranger. She meets a little "girl" with the same name as her who goes to fight the monster. Mimi goes to help "her" and ends up in a contract with the queen of water, which lets her becomes a mage. Now, Mimi has to worry about helping Milk purge the world of demons, in addition to getting a modeling job.

Progress: 10%. Story; This was originally a short story of mine, so the story's done. I need to convert it to a script and design the characters now.
