2020 Update

1 min read

Rently got back into art. I have been doing a ton of photo compositing for a small side hustle for the past two years, but it's also reminded me of my general artistic love. It's frustrating ony using what other's provide to try to make my visions come to life, and it made me want to begin drawing again. In addition I started reading a lot of Webtoons, and it reminded me how many panels of my own I'd made throughout high school.

A friend and I started an RP back up from our high school days ( a decade ago I'm old x_x x'D) and it really inspired the both of us to start drawing again. I was planning to use some of the funds I was making from compositing to get a tablet, but they were upgrading, so they offered up their old tablet to me for free. I've made a few pieces now that I like, but need to be cleaned up before I'd be happy posting them.

4 Years Away

2 min read
Wow it's been 4 years since I uploaded anything. Surprised it hasn't been longer to be honest. After reading my last entry, clearly that was because my computer that had way way old photoshop elements on it died. Ever since then I haven't been able to get back into art for lack of resources and so I let life take me other directions. I may sketch here and there. I do miss it though. I might take it back up in my free time now. I just drew some anime style things for the first time in so so long. I do miss it, but it also reminds me of how much I still had to learn and need to learn to get my anime art, and all art, to the level I always dreamed of. 

My anatomy has improved, inadvertently, because I took up dance. My art was always was inspired by dancers and their graceful forms and movement. I'm glad I decided to join classes, and I have a much better understanding of anatomy both because of learning movement of my own, and because I'm constantly around different body types, typically i n fitted clothes, and watching them move. I look forward to continuing both dance and art, and may invest in a tablet again, since I have photoshop now (although I should learn illustrator, or a more relevant platform).

However, they couldnt save my memory. I feel i certainly wasted ten months for nothing. I only waited that long in hope someone could save it, but it was totally wiped already. Such a bummer >,< 
BUT! i have my baby back :) I have my life back xD mwahahaha

So hopefully soon i will be able to work on my art again :) but i need to download the driver for my tablet again, and i'm too afraid of the sketchy site that it's coming from >,< i'll figure something out.

In the mean time, i'll be on Twitch playing mine craft xD

Let me know if you know of an awesome server!

I had plans to go this year for the first time in about 4 years. Didn't end up happening :( i'm really sad, i wish i could have gone. I miss it dearly :(
I still haven't gotten my computer fixed, which means this will be a wasted summer for art on DA, which is awful. I'm really sad about that :( 
But i've still been working on art, just traditional lately, rather than digital. And it's mostly been more realistic, but eh. I just want to get back on here :P
