We're off to see the wizard

I'm going off to visit Sheridan next week. Hopefully, I'll come back without gaining any regrets. Heh

Shouldn't affect this blog much, its not like I update too often anyway..~

Above is a draft for a sorta signature thing. I guess its a little too complex to be called a logo. I'm not sure if you can see it, but she's suppose to be a letter 'K'. (Her pose is kinda how i sign my K's, with that right arm hanging down) Still in progress, will figure out what that plank suppose to be and add in the 'EE's

Yay..?

Hey hows it hanging?

So after all that hard work, I finally got into Sheridan. Its great, the feeling of a job well done, but on the whole its a 'lil bittersweet.

Well, it doesn't hit you till u get it, but I realise I'm gonna be leaving everyone behind, which sucks. All this for a shot at an imaginary better future..hah.. I'm also gonna have to explore it on my own, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared lol.
It's gonna be a little lonely, but there's nothing left but to try.

Oh, the above were some pieces from my portfolio. I would put all, but there's just too many for blogger to handle haha

Not dead yet

Things ain't going according to plan so far. So I'm not exactly singing in my heart. Just racking up more dissapoinments for karma to toss me a bone. Like a friend said, "It just makes the 'Screw you!' sweeter."

Started going for life drawing sessions with a friend recently. Really enjoying it so far, its bringing the fun back. Although I wish there were more artists around, it does feel a little weird when there's only a couple artists doing their thing.

That last one suppose to be somthing for the ongoing UDON competition. It seems to be taking the internet by storm, seeing it almost everywhere. Just playing around with an idea for my piece.

Down from the mountain

The last few months for me was intense. A rollercoaster ride of events that really made my psyche a total mess. I'm still on that ride. Hmm, where to start.

The short story is that I had ALOT of hard decisions to make concerning my current and future situation, most which kept returning to make me re-evaluate them. What's left is me feeling like a player who forgot to save a game a few levels into the final boss. The 'what ifs' and 'why nots' haunting me like a bad cold.

Hmm, I'm probably just being too melodramatic. Oh well..

My portfolio deadlines are approaching, and I'm pretty much done. It doesn't feel the same when you're not rushing to meet the deadline, like you could do more in the remaining time. But I'm not complaining, it feels better than the manic rush. I definately think I can do better, but not in the short period of time that's left.

That said, its not like I didn't try. The following are the stuff that didn't quite make it into my folio. All in glorious roughs and half-dones.

Hello Neighbour

Haha, seems like every post i make always begins with me making an excuse for not posting. Well, I do have one this time. I'm spending my days designing character for a game I can't mention yet. There, does that sound alright to you? Haha

Well, I can't really post my stuff from this assignment, well, not yet at least. So here are some studies, some new some old.

2nd Wind

I've been lying to myself all this time, I can't draw.
Seriously, my works are jokes, and everyone knows it. I've been trying to learn how to, but the fact of the matter is I've just been cheating.
I'm probably a fool wasting my time away with mindless doodles, but if I learnt anything, it's how much I suck.

So, I'm even more determined to get my foundation. I'm paraphrasing here, but I believe there's a saying, 'One must know his weakness before he can improve.' If I actually want a future in this, I've gotta work hard. It's frustrating, but I guess that just makes the fruit sweeter.

That said, I'm asking, no, begging all you guys and gals out there to help me. Help burn me.
That head is weird? Arm too short? Pencil not pencil-ly enough? Please tell me. You don't need to be an artist to understand art, you just need to be human to know when something looks weird. Hey, if I'm willing to burn myself, you should too.
