Heyo. Not trying to neglect this place. Just been really all over the place and distracted, art wise, lately. Sorries~! TT^TT Thank you for bearing with me, as always. *hugs for youuuu*

I…can’t do it. ^___^;;;
Having a huge problem not so much with confidence, but with….uhm….I’m not sure. *LOL*
It’s more like, what the hell am I doing, when so many other things right now are so chaotic? Haha. I don’t know. XD

I need to stop eating so much sugar, methinks. >__>;;;

A small-ish, not really important one, because….well, just because. :P
I’ve been drawing tons lately (gave up Idleness for Lent, plus it relieves constant boredom of a slow freelance time and no ‘real’ job), so I hope to update this place a little more. ^__^;; Thank you for sticking around this far.

Recently, I switched back to using Japanese nib pens for inking, as they’re so much easier on my hands than Sakura Pigma Microns. I used to use them a long time ago, and really, I don’t remember why I stopped. *lol* In the long run, my whole arm gets sore, but it’s nothing compared to the shooting pains I’ll get when using microns. Go fig.

Anyways. Doing lots of random ink-tests to figure the learning curve. Please bear with me. ^__^;;;;;;;;

I think I really do.
Begging pardon to use an HIMYM reference (LOVE this show), I’ve been thinking waaaaay too hard about what I need to do to do things and so it’s stopping me from actually getting it done. TT3TT
Bleh.

Strange….

Little Gracie. :)

Pencil and ink stages for an art trade illustration I did for a friend on Deviantart.

Goddess of a Sorrowfu Heart… by =bybystarlight on deviantART
The finished version….

I’ve got the yipps pretty bad. >__>;;;;

Vague concept sketches for an awesome project.

Gestures…

Doodles done while catching up with an old friend. :)

I recently had to get a new scanner (today’s the first day I used it and I’m already in love). It plays a little midi tune while it scans. ……so now if I scan an image, I feel like I’m running through an Overworld map in an old rpg or something. ^__^;;; Oh, it’s the little things that make me happy…

*sings*
Put a gun in my hand and pretend you don’t care~!!

So….been a crazy past few…..days…weeks…months…..year…..lifetime…..I guess I’ll always be saying things like that. ^__^;; It’s not a bad thing. :)

Kitty Cat Seven from Neko Machi. Just a random thing. :3 Flexing long unused muscle memory. *crampcramp*
CAN YOU TELL I HAVE CATS~??~?!?!?!?! Freakin’ hairs get EVERYWHERE. D:<

A bunch of scribbles here, for no reason. (FAIL~!). Was actually fighting a panic attack while doing this. *LOL* Silly things. Ohhhh, I can’t wait until it gets warmer….and I can run around in tank-tops and undies again. *sigh* I miss you sunlight~!!

A long while back, I bought a small note at the Kinokuniya stationary store (I’m an absolute whore for stationary and such) simply for the engrish on the cover. It TOTALLY and perfectly sums up my “being.”

Even if my days are crazy and erratic and all over the place, they’re still so amazing and I’m glad to be alive and living the life I am (even if I do complain too much). :P No matter how bad things get, it’s always a comfort to know that I have good people behind me and a bright future ahead of me. *squish*

I haven’t used said note until recently; what better chance than to properly document RoseMarie’s story (so that I don’t forget it-because it’s important to me). So……Rosie~! <3

And OMG look who’s getting SOO SOOOOO big~!! (it’s because he eats too damn much~!!). My Kumo-momomomomomoo. :3~~~~
Yay random~!!!

All of my 005 microns died. ^__^;; I don’t feel like finishing, anyways.

Of course, Kurumi belongs to Ewen. Sorry for messing up your muse, dear. TT^TT

I like drawing girls. I like drawing nekkid girls. It makes me sad when people say things like it’s wrong or dirty or pervy or something along those lines. I’m not getting any sexual gratification out of it, if someone else happens to, then that’s great~!!!, but I do not. It’s just fun. Curves are fun…unlike straight lines (like the above pic which bored me to tears). The human body is fun. Female or male, doesn’t matter.

Boobs are the best~!!! (and I’m glad mine are big). Butts are great, too~! So please be proud of your body, girlies. You guys out there, too~!!! :D If you take the time to study the human machine, you’ll see that it’s a crazy wonderful piece of craftsmanship that should be loved and cared for no matter what it looks like. Love yourself dammit~!! XD And….and…..and don’t let anybody else fuck with your own image of yourself. From stick thin photoshopped heroine chic boy girls on the runway, to super cute chub chub……y’know….everyone~!!! So much fun~!! LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*rant*

Haha. Not really having anything to do with artwork at all, but have any of you guys seen the blog 1000 Awesome Things? Read through it. It really will make your day a little more awesome; it’s about all the little things that we should be taking a little more time for.

Also, I haven’t heard this song in years, and I totally forgot how happy it makes me. Like…..makes me want to dance in the streets kind of happy. (actually, when I used to walk to work very early in the morning, I would do just that~! hahah).
Plus, I’m going to marry Suga someday. I really am. (or at least chain him up with the rest of my harem in my closet and make him sing to me at will. LOOOVE his voice. Mwaaaahahahhahahahahahahahahhah~!!!)
*cackle*

*lol* Was this post erratic enough? ^__^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Caught yet another cold this past week. That’s after already being sick two weeks before. :P I should go live in a bubble~! ^__^;;;;;;; But it’s past now, so lets hope I don’t get sick again.

I think The Universe is conspiring to have me not have a sketchbook; the past few I’ve had have either been inadequate to draw on, got lots to the ether, or got damaged somehow (I’m *REALLY* picky about the paper I draw on, heheh). So in the meantime, until I can get another, I’ve been drawing on random scraps of paper (my really expensive paper *SOB*). The two on the left are Oliver and Aston (formerly named “girl” and “boy” in a post from earlier last year), from a short story that I really want to draw, but can’t get to look the way I want it to….

….do you ever have that problem? You see something so very clearly in your head, but when you sit down to get it out, you can’t execute it AT ALL. ^__^;;;;;;;

To the right is Prince, a friend of RoseMarie’s, who needs a new character design…which is what happened there. I’m not happy with it at all.

90second gesture drawings. Ahahaha, I got so bad at this~!!! (I wasn’t very good to begin with). But practicing these things is very fun-however much I wish PoseManiacs had, y’know, SKIN on its models. :3

Unfortunately, as I type this, the sunlight is going away. *sniffle*

Hmm…I changed to my own Wordpress theme recently for this blog. …I think I might take it apart again to see what I can do with it. Hmmmm……

Spinning around in circles, you’re bound to get somewhere, right? ….RIGHT? O__O;;;

Art? What art? I have NO idea what you’re talking about. :)

*LITERALLY goes back to the drawing board*

*sob*
