Finished my last exam ever at CCNB today - SO HAPPY. We still have a lot of work to do to get ready for our exhibition's opening night, which is Thursday, but no more schoolwork yaaaaay! It's almost weird though...

I was also very pleased with today's weather - I got to go jogging this morning, then had my coffee outside... then cleaned the kitchen because I was just in that much of a good mood. C:

Gestures in black pen. And hands because hands hands HANDS. Still not gonna be able to go to life drawing for a while, siiiiiigh this summer I really need to buckle down! 

Original characters! 

Another sticker for the con - VOCALOID Rin Kagamine. I'm soooooo behind schedule, but things have just been insane these past two months! I'll finish Vocaloids for sure and maybe do some Dragon Age 2 characters then re-touch my Eeveelutions, but I think that'll be it. I'm almost tempted to do some A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones characters just to feed my fandom needs but I don't think Animaritime has the right audience for it...

Smaller update today! I've decided to put original stuff and big paintings on the back burner for now, and focus on doing studies and prepping for the con. Gotta learn my stufffffff and improve!

Two studies I did this week:

A tiger! Animals totally elude me. So here we go. I'm kind of experimenting with new ways to paint and render, and different brushes and stuff. It's... supposed to be running but you can't really tell lololol

It looks nice if you squint I guess??

Also worked a lot on my Astrid cosplay this week! The shoulder armor is finally done :)

I'm sooooo proud of myself! I can actually be good at making things when it's for a hobby, it seems. 8D;

Busy busy busyyyy, but it could be a lot worse! One of my resolutions for this last trimester of college was to not totally die of stress (like I was doing a few months ago). So far so good, but things are far from over. :P

Life drawing again this week! Didn't feel like it went that great but whateverrr we all get off-days I suppose.

30 second poses

5 minutes

20 minutes

I watched Mulan the other night. Yeahhhh 

A larger scale painting I've been working on for a few weeks! Daenerys Targaryen from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. I'm really into this series right now, was feeling very inspired. C: Tried a bunch of new things in this painting too, like painting dragons (wtf), actually sketching out a few compositions before jumping into Photoshop, and a new blending tool. 

(this also got featured on the Daenerys Facebook fanpage! Yaaaaaaayyyy <3 )

And finally, started working on stickers for Animaritime! Here's Miku. ;) 

Home from Animaritime 2011, oh mannnnn what a weekend! I am dead tired, but somehow even though I spent the entire weekend drawing... I still feel like drawing. @w@; A good thing since I have a few digital commissions to finish still, and I really feel like working on my OCs and storyline-related stuff.

But yes! Went super well, wtf my 90 stickers all sold?? I was expecting maybe 20 or so to sell, but WOW. SO DOING IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR. ... AND NOT TWO DAYS BEFORE.
Also did super well with commissions, aahhhh it was great. :)

I'm a little glad it's over (sleeeeep forever), but I always get that lonely empty feeling whenever it ends... everyone is so nice and awesome! And it always sucks to go back to real life after you've had such a good time.

...I don't really have art to post, but here are the stickers I was selling:

...yes Pokemon because everyone loves Pokemon. :D
