2015

There is way too much to write about. I've been going through a lot of extremely personal things that I don't feel comfortable exposing, even on this remote, desolate blog. Let's just say things need to change, and slowly (maybe too slowly), I'm trying to get to that. I am getting some help but it's going to take me some time to get into a working schedule.

At any rate, yesterday and today were very productive for me, art-wise. Goody, right?

First is a walk-through of a, drum roll please, FINISHED illustration piece of my original character, Suit (xe/xer/xerself). Have a look:

2014 drawing I believe?

a warm up in manga studio

a quick concept for Tumblr's witchsona week, which I missed :(

Steven Universe me (human)

I'm pretty happy with my progress. Hope everyone else is, as well.

Not quite dusty, yet

Went to the Barnes and Noble on US 1 highway today. The big two story one.

I know it's silly, but I find that it's kind of exciting...I rarely get to go to two-story book stores, so I get a little giddy.

Anyways, got a few things with some Christmas money...a new sketchbook (purely for illustrations and practice), 75% off Xmas and holiday cards for next year (I WILL BE PREPARED!), an issue of The Economist, and One Piece manga volume 1. I never did finish the manga or the anime - both of which were (and, I hear, ARE still) good. I want to take the time to enjoy it, again - fully, this time.

Of course, then my mom, being as awesome as she is, revealed a sneaky gift she bought for me while I was off searching for things:

Happy (belated) Birthday to me~!

Still, I'd like to head back and maybe get one of those wooden model figures...I need to practice drawing more realistic anatomy, again! In fact, I'm trying my hand at it, now...

That's really all there is to report, at the moment. I'm going to keep drawing, then hopefully head to bed BEFORE 6 AM. For once.
