Hey everyone! I'm back from my semi-break from the last contest I did, which ended in failure. Took a few days off to do some soul searching and skyrim thing. Watched some episodes of Natsume Yuujinchou to make me feel better as well. I usually never lose in an art contest I would join, if I ever do decide to join. I know it may sound a bit arrogant, but I just put a lot of effort in my art, so this lost was quite painful. I won't spill all the details, just know I can't go against politics and bias choices. :<

I was glad Yuui-tart and I chatted a lot during my semi-soul searching phase. We were talking about working on our put on hiatus project, RD. We both miss our little babies, her characters are a total opposite from mine. As people can tell, I'm totally Fujo with a lot of things, and that includes my characters. Of course not all of them swing that way, ok I lied most do. But there are a good percent that do not. Anyways, we were slowly going over how we wanted the story line to progress (yay, finally we're actually doing that) and the relationships for each character. That means I should start getting familiarized with my CLIP Studio Paint Pro and Manga Studio 5 again.

It has been a long while since I finished any of my personal OC's and I have a pretty big pile of unfinished works that are mostly my OC's... So I decided, it's time to stray a bit from fanart, and actually work on my original characters.

Here's the line-up: Hopefully I can finish one per week, or every 3 days.. :/

-sigh- If only I chose a better schedule... Prelims over, time for another hurdle... I wonder if I'll truly enjoy my future career...

Anyways, de-stress time! Ok, it's more of procrastination time... Either way, something new..

Been so long since I've posted something, so here's some stuff I'm working on...
Currently I can't work on my bigger illustrations due to my laptop... Overheats too much due to the fan giving up on me.. To prevent any more further damage to my laptop, I need to replace the fan ASAP.. hopefully this month and soon. So I'm working on smaller stuff, and on CLIP Studio Paint Pro, because it isn't a RAM whore like Photoshop...

So here's the manga project I've been working on slowly...

Just made a quick video on my workspace on Photoshop the other day. I'm terribly sorry the audio was bad, because I had no headset mic to talk through. I just hope you got an idea of how I work there. I also showed how to blend digitally as well, for up and coming new artists trying out the digital method.

Sometimes I change my workspace, but mostly I just keep the placement for ages.

Video here :D

Man today on my major, brain died sooo badly from working on the ip addresses for each network.... Gawd I was soo lost in my class, at that moment I was thinking.. "wth am I doing here?.."

Moving on from my derp moment in my major early in the morning, working on my friend's coloring process.. XD

I should make a "My PSCS5 workspace" video, so I can explain what I got here and there on my photoshop and such. Also explain the tools I use for painting.. XD

I think coloring with a dark bg is good, just need to clip the picture properly or it'll funny when I work on the bg... OTL..... -will do that later-

D: I was supposed to work on my story... OTL....

Gosh... the first week of school was a killer... more of a killer on my Monday/Friday class... ;_; -cries hard-
I got great profs...minus 1 on my Monday/Friday class...... ._.; I'm soo cursed to have the same prof I met a few months back that totally hated my guts, be my prof for this year...someone shoot me now!! QnQ....

I should just wait and see if she'll be my prof.. (highly positive she will be..damn) Anyways minus that, this semester will be awesome.. I hope.....-sigh-

Yesterday was a totally killer tho for the Human star thing for my school...day started out shitty coz bf made me leave earlier than I expected.. so I didn't have brunch.. only ate one thing tho throughout the whole day, that and I got rained on good...What's the use of umbrellas here? O-o

Enough ranting off to the better stuff.

I'm going to officially start working on my RD manga this week, hopefully finishing 3-5 pages per week.. But I should get my story straighten out beforehand. This is a project for me to add to my flash website project for my finals in my other class this sem. Means I need to have another crash course in actionscripts...ugh...
Beats working on a game again.. Not enough time to make it awesome sauce that and the coding too.. :/

Anyways working on a coloring video for my friend Jon, for now I'm just gonna post this WIP for you guys.. It's looking better.. LOL.. <3 Poster~

It looked pretty off on my last post, but I think it's looking much better now.

Gotta merge them all near the end.. I take soo long on the face, but its worth it. :)

>.> I'm much better with western clothing designs over Asian... I wonder why? XD

Trying a new brush from Charlie on an semi-old sketch of mine. The coloring came out good so far.. gonna record Ayden's coloring process for my friend. XD



Frankly I like the skin color so far..Usually I'm very pick with the colors.. Still have to fix stuff here and there but nothing too big.. XD

Ugh...Supposed to be resting due to the fact I got sick so suddenly... Both my ankles and knees started to hurt and now I can't walk well.. That and I got a fever to go with it too.. Funny I'm up and sitting on my desk painting this.... OTL....
