Tumblr was a mistake
All of it. I went to that site to try to gain a bigger audience for my art and all it did was kill my drive to even do art. Most of my blog wasn't even my own content with Tumblr's reblog sharing feature. And I'm not even going to talk about the weird politics that caused me to go into a phase far cringier than my teenage self ever could've gone ( Read more... ) -
Tumblr
I guess I've joined the crowd when I joined Tumblr for all my blogging needs. I've been on it since summer and I like it a lot. I joined with the intent of being about to blog about my art easier and with the potential for more viewers. Though my first attempt ended up rather messy with the reblog option. But I've got down what I want to be a ( Read more... ) -
Video Games - A Love/Hate Relationship
If there is one thing in this world that I have a true love/hate relationship with it is video games. My previous entry was made last year in December and that explains everything. Upon my yearly visit to Texas I was introduced to the video game series Dynasty Warriors. A hack and slash game rich in Chinese history I instantly fell in love with it ( Read more... ) -
College Finals and Christmas
I haven't been doing too much creative wise lately with my college finals near. It is the cruel and complete opposite as to the situation during the summer - lots of free time but absolutely no inspiration. On the good side I've been recently given a commission offer from my mother's work that seems to love my tree painting I did over the summer. ( Read more... ) -
Senbazuru
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes - A book I remember reading when I was in elementary school. I recall the story of a Japanese child in her hopes of having her wish fulfilled. Her wish to be cured of her Leukemia that resulted in radiation exposure from the atomic bombs. Sadako took up the project of making Senbazuru, a thousand oragami paper ( Read more... ) -
Yaoi, My True Love
Wow. I cannot believe I neglected my blog for nearly 2 whole months. I'm back to school and work so I've been rather busy with that. I feel inspired again, yet now my attention is needed elsewhere. I've fallen back into doing fanart again. After painting my book Le Livre de Amoureux I drew this in the first page.

One Sketch A Day
Once Sketch A Day is a "visual journal" that I purchased recently from Books-A-Million. It's a new project that I've come to love and hate at the same time. The objective is to do a single sketch, every day, for an entire year. It can be about any and everything. I usually draw something, even if it's fanart, relating to an event that happened in ( Read more... ) -
Digital Art, using GIMP
Recently my mom's laptop has officially become too old to connect to our wireless internet (and my Netbook still refuses to do anything with the internet) so now I'm stuck with a very glitchy desktop. In a way it is good. I've found myself spending more time to my arts than on the internet. As with one piece I've gotten quite a good amount of ( Read more... ) -
Mild Distractions
I've done what I've always feared when it comes to working on a piece - Grown bored and moved on to other projects. I had gotten the lineart done for my drawing of Kaiba in his all nakid glory. Though upon moving into my mother's house for the summer my netbook cannot pick up her internet no matter how hard I try. So as a result I've been using her ( Read more... )
