Hark, a post!
So, I was able to sell those SM Town tickets! :D This really helps out with my stress, as well as my mom's.
Also, I'm still interested in doing this meme, since 1863_project left me a character and it was fun to fill out, so please leave me Edward Elric a comment there!
School has been going pretty decently. I've had a few freakouts, but I'm doing better now. My classes are really interesting. For thesis, I have a teacher I had last year who I really like and who I feel gets what I'm doing, so that helps me feel more comfortable. There is also a humanities companion to thesis where we discuss the theme for the year's projects (ours is "man-made monster"), which is fun, partially because it's all debate and discussion, and partially because my teacher is Australian! His accent is amusing to me...I'm also taking a class where we go to different places around New York and draw what we see. We've been in Grand Central for the past few weeks, but I think we will be leaving there soon. I also have a class on Shakespeare, where we are reading Henry IV, with Henry V coming next, two plays that I never thought of reading on my own but that I am really enjoying. Lastly, I have to take a requirement left over from last year, a History of Cartooning class. It's taught by a teacher I had previous, and he's a really funny guy, so I like being able to stretch out my time with him!
For thesis, the project for cartooning majors is a sixteen to twenty page comic on a story of out choosing that will display the theme "man-made monster". I will be doing the original version of The Little Mermaid, focusing on how the mermaid's obsession with humanity terns her into a gruesome, tongueless human/merfolk hybrid. Only my mermaid will be a merman. So, it's gay Little Mermaid, pretty much. When I told my mom this, she was like, "why don't you do it with lesbians? You're not a gay guy!" I was considering that, but I think changing the mermaid's gender will make it more interesting to explore gender roles than changing the prince to a princess. Maybe I'll do an illustration like that for fun though Kojimermaid and Princess Yuko :3.
I have some of my NYAF pins made, but since all of them have been drawn I feel like it will get done in time. Cosplay wise, I'm going to be doing Taemin from SHINee in the "Love Like Oxygen" video again, as well as Kaede from Tiger & Bunny, with 1863_project as Pao-Lin. Since it's three days, I kind of want to do a third one (originally, it was going to be Shiina Ringo in the "Kofukuron" video, but that costume is still only 80% completed, due to my busy schedule). I am considering fixing my costume of Abe from Oofuri, but I don't think I'll be able to order what I need in time, as I can't find stirrups in stores. However, maybe I will, I don't know. I need that link for Steph first *nudges her* I also still need to finish up my art for prints and bookmarks, which I will be doing once I finish this post. All the pencils are done, it's just inking and coloring, which won't take as long.
I hope you guys are doing okay! :)
