I love finishing a piece of gift art for someone. It takes me forever to get the sketch done but once I'm at the shading and background stages it makes me happy. Naturally I still have a few to go. At this rate I'm sort of just hoping I can get a few of them done by the time we have exam results back. Especially because I'm a bit burnt out on gift art at the moment and am just drawing something for me damnit...and the other mun, sort of. Oops. Oh well.
...okay, so apart from art all I've been doing is RP and finally getting around to pointing out at Tar Valon that uh hey, I have the wrong title, so have 2007 memes in lieu of an actual life!
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Third person RP...! Signed autographs that weren't for joking friends...
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Let's see. My resolutions were...be more confident in myself, and something lewd. The confidence one kind of rolled over and died but got better in the second half of the year, but it's still suffering. XD The lewd one, obviously I have had no opportunities so no. :P I dunno if I'll make any.
