Wowww I'm so tired ;_; Not from drawing or school, but just.. tired. Well this thing really evolved from a sketch, but I'm not all that displeased with it. However, some things just seem kinda bland/meh/bad to me, but there's no way I'm going to bother changing it now xD I never did say I was a perfectionist anyhow. Or motivated. I've never done water or spent so much effort on a background before though, so I guess that's an accomplishment ._.

But yeah, she finally has a more decent name that doesn't remind me of sashimi-- Ući Napada~ (Family name is first, though.) Instead of looking like one of those typical fangirls who make up a random string of syllables that kinda sounds japanese when squashed together (.... or doesn't ┐_┐) for their OC names, I decided to look like a different type of clueless foreigner that makes it a bit less conspicuous xD Her name is the Croatian word for attacks or attacked (from the word Napad, or maybe it was the other way around;; I'd feel too stupid asking my parents though.) All the names from the possible story are Croatian and picked for their meanings and ease at foreign pronunciation, but whether or not I ever start writing out the story, nevermind drawing it, is the question of importance right now. I've got a lot of backstory written down but I don't quite know where to go from the beginning. Or even where the beginning needs to be.

Oh how I wish school would end sooner :/

Joke Blog

Finally made it, but didn't do anything to the layout yet: Click~

I'll be compiling anything I find funny on there. Anything spoiler-ish will be labeled as such. If any of you have anything you think I should put on there, show me xD

OMG SQUID

It's her again, yes Dx I'll think of a new name for her later to replace the temporary "Shimi" which sounds so horribly lame :< I didn't even like it when I made it up but didn't really care enough at the time to change it. Anyhow, I think maybe I'll actually do something with her character some day *_* I keep getting ideas before I fall asleep but I can never do anything about them because I have school the next day and need the sleep... and then I forget my ideas in the morning;; So far she has an octopus-like lantern thing (or maybe I should make it a cuttlefish! O3O) and likes to kick people in the face with painful shoes. How bland, I know :<

I'm seriously surprised at how fast I was able to do these. I used reference on the action pose but it was actually a lot easier to do than just plain... standing there xD Except the foot. I really suck at drawing feet now. Before it was never a problem because, well, I never bothered drawing the whole body xD At least I'm starting to get used to doing hands a little. As for the stuff in the back, it's really just me trying to make one character look the same from all angles and in multiple sketches again.

~(*-w--*)~

Some practice with painting again. It's so amazingly therapeutic... and eats time like nothing else T__T Sigh.

Ha, don't ask about the crown on Deidara xD This picture isn't about these two.. rather they're a part of a larger image, but they're the only things that are colored and the sketch isn't even done yet. I have an idea of some parody/fan comic-thing to do in the future just for the hell of it (it's really complete crack, but I can't get rid of the concept no matter what) which I may or may not have the time or motivation to accomplish, but I would like to try only for the sake of saying I can actually push myself to do something *_* If I do end up starting it then... don't expect much really Dx

I must say like the contrast Oro and Dei make in this little clip though :3

GOOD GOD

Omgosh o_o I... I drew something by pencil today. This is like, the first time I've done it since I got my tablet. Though I guess that wasn't all that long ago, but it really feels like it was. I was afraid I'd forgotten how to draw without the undo button ;; And it's a good thing I didn't do this on my Stat review D: That was a close one.


It's Katara from Avatar :O Another fine example of how my random doodles of no particular person seem to turn into fanart 99% of the time. I guess fanart is way more fun to do unless I actually seem to have an interesting original character or real person in mind, but nah >_>

AGHwefegwg, I can't seem to think or form proper sentences today. I think it's because of how I woke up :/ I always feel like crap when I wake up during deep/REM sleep (aka, during the most necessary state of sleep if you want to feel rested and sometimes right in the middle of a realistic dream.) I realized my alarm had been ringing a few times before I even perceived it and then I had to spend a few minutes reorienting myself to reality, trying to figure out what day it was, what happened recently, where the hell I was, etc.;; But I was having such a pleasant dream xD It involved waiting in line to do some AP thing (with my dad? o_o;), visiting a small shop that resembled a small Discovery store, and following around the most adorable pig that the shopkeeper owned (and she coincidentally somewhat looked like Shizune.. so maybe the pig was a cuter version of Tonton Dx.) I thought it was annoying at first but then it oinked and then... well, it was so amazingly cute *3* I wish I could have hugged it before I woke up, but I was falling asleep even in my dream.

Oh and before I forget:
The last day of school (that Friday) seniors do not have finals. That day is for graduation practice and crap. The Friday before the week of finals is when seniors have 5th and 8th block exams. The Thursday of finals week is 1st and 4th block, so all of us but Chig get out early I believe :O So if she can exempt that one then we can leave early on a Thursday~~
