Going on Hiatus

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 29, 2008, 6:31 AM
  • Mood: Neutral
Thanks a lot of all the replies people ^-^ Although a lot just felt like the usual compliments, I did get the few honest critiques and a couple word-rapes that I was looking for :3

Since I'm not exactly updating that often and won't really have any chances to scan those sketchbooks I've been whining about for months anytime soon, I'ma stop distracting myself with DA so often.
I'll still skim through notes and messages but I won't really be active in anything.

I'm putting any of the commissions I haven't started on hold as well.

So life stuff :D

Friday was me birthday, and also my first day of work, EVER @.@
I had to clean and keep concession carts filled all day, and it wasn't that bad considering I get paid a little under $10 an hour. I so pwn those McDonalds peoples >:3

I ended up having to pull an all-nighter Sunday since I had nearly no time to work on homework at all (well technically I got 2 hours of sleep at 7 in the morning when my hand shook too much to draw :p, and then 3 more hours after class).
For some reason I decided to pull another all night last night, although i accomplished nothing <.< I just didn't want to sleep :3

BUt I finally get to make a game ^-^ ... which I'm kinda typing up the proposal for class right now <_<...

Sorry :/ I'm really too busy to do much of anything lately.
How often do paint/color traditionally? I pretty much use the same techniques for digital painting as I would a real-life painting. Try using cool colors like blues and purples for shadows and stuff like that

Could you consider to color my pic? and perhaps send the photoshop file to my mail, so I can se how you did it ;F I'm trying to learn some new colouring/shadowing techiques. I draw by mouse but i can't seem to get the shadowing and depth of the colour the way i want it. If you are interested I could send you the whole photoshop file, so you get it in high resolution.

your art.....the style of it is fascinating....so clean, but with a subtle sketchiness about it......I wish I could draw like that.......all of it looks so amazing......I hope you don't mind if I watch you....

Hello Hello! Saw you at Tekko, I was the gal who looked through your stuff five times before finally commissioning a sketch from you. xD; The Gambit Rogue fluff with the vague description? that was me. xD
Thanks again! *watches*
