Sprained ankle ;-;

I sprained my ankle at my friend's circus-party-thing, but not from anything cool like falling off a tightrope or something. I was going to work on the painting today too, BUTNO.

Although I did finish that commission that was on the last post:


I'm pretty happy with it, in terms of technique in digital painting but the pose / composition could be helped. A lot. :| Oh well, I'm sure the next one will be better, maybe.

My birthday is coming up, which is super exciting. We're going out to eat at a fun restaurant tomorrow and it will be nice :D Maybe I'll take my camera or something.

Sorry for not having a more useful update! Hopefully I'll do something decent by teh next post!

SIGH

Sorry bros, I don't have anything to really show you guys. 8c I've been working on art like crazy and taking a LOT of pictures, but I don't actually have anything on my computer. Next post will probably include decent things. I do have this though.



Part of a commission I'm working on. Slowly ;-;
BUT ANYWAYS. Let's talk of something else for once. For the first time, really, I'm feeling the effects of the recession. It's really quite hard to get a job. :c I do have an interview this Monday for this restaurant, but the manager said I'd only work like 3-4 times a month, which doesn't yield too much money. And even worse is that there are just so many things I'd like to buy ;-; Like these shoes.



They look a lot like this pair of Ann Demeulemeester shoes :U BUT THAT'S OKAY I'm cheap and they're way cheaper than the real thing. ;-; I'll probably just wait for them to go on sale, if they do. OH and there's also this pair of shoes, by the chickychick who does Sea of Shoes (the pair on the right):

I desire these so badly, but unfortunately I really can't wear heels ;-; I'd probably just barely be able to wear the Free People shoes. I could go on and list the 50-billion pairs of shoes that I'd like too but that would take up tooooo much space.

Aaaand that's all I can think of 8c I'm in Colorado now, breathing the thin mountain air. I took lots of pictures up here though, and I'll post the good ones c:

St. Lucia!

Young travelers! I'm heading off to St. Lucia in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, so I won't have any blog posts for a couple weeks (not that I had any in the past couple weeks anyways dohoho). To be quite honest, I haven't done much art since the last post, although I've gotten the lines on the wood board for the painting. I've got some commissions to work on over vacation, so hopefully I'll at least have some sketches by the time I get back :U




I drew this during the ACT @w@ I really like the face; I might finish this on Photoshop.


Did the hair, piercings, etc.

Summer!

Summer is officially here! I'm all done with my junior year, with straight A's for the semester! I'm so proud of myself. c: And even cooler, my dad bought me a super Nikon DSLR to use for my art class this year, so I've been playing with it. I used it to take pictures of some food pornnnn



Aren't the pikachu sprinkles just precious? And plus, they were super tasty. Also, because I had to turn in something for my 'final project' for art, I cropped half the Party picture and made it look done (for now!). His arm is a little awkward like this, since he was originally holding hands with someone but oh wells.



I think it's pretty cute, but I'll definitely finish it, with all 4 people! I'm also going to be making a painting for my cousin's wedding, similar to the eskimo girl one, so here's the concept sketch/colors for thattt.



The head is definitely too big, but that will be fixed in the actual painting. I slapped on some random wood texture only because it'll be painted on wood :P I'm pretty excited to get that started though!

Updates, updates.

I had a couple art shows this week: one at school, and one (I guess) at a friend's house. It was pretty bomb, gotta say. I got to draw on people! c: Dad and I also have a private studio space thing at Terra Incognito in Oak Park, which is really exciting. I hope to do some more sculpting and stuffffs. Oh, I forgot to post the head I sculpted and painted on...



I thought I posted that, derp. 8c Oh, and here's the last of my AP portfolio pictures, which was ruined by the stupid resin >:C



Oh, and the main reason I was going to post. Update on the PARTAYY picture I've been working on.



I'm pretty happy with it so far, especially with the hair. Now to work on the next person! :D

nitrogen pink

Yyyeaaaa, school was eating up my time, between AP tests (ugh), my audition for the youth orchestra (double ugh) and such. At least I'm done! I feel so free haha. I'm currently on a quest for a job, among other things. ooh wait

Quest List
- Job, for monies
- New tablet, since this one is dying & it's tiny
- Bassoon that's decent, but relatively cheap
- Clothes, since my fashion sense sucks
- Boyfriend, as usual :c
- A clean room!
- A pair of oxfords! What gorgeous shoes!
- A digital camera of some sort

Okay sweet, I've been meaning to get that written down. Anyways, here's some arts that I've done.





As you can see, I've been doing a lot of pen work lately. I attempted some fashionish drawings too, but i might redo them because the faces and the anatomy is dumb.

ACen 2009, Sketches, etc etc

uuugh school takes up so much time. I'm nearly done with all of my AP stuffs, and I'm still working on ACen craps (badges, sell-able pictures, etc etc). Here's what I got so far~
