INFO And Hiatus

As an update . I started the Print for Full Metal Panic , although I barely sketched the bodyes …. it’ll take me a while to make it and I hope to be able to work like a machine but also make something good come out of it . I plan on drinking burn/red bull and cola as much as it takes to get the energy I need xD (and mood >_> Dear God )  Besides that I’ll edit the blog BIG TIME after I’m done with nijikon , gonna make it look nicer and add some more info once I figure out how this blog works better xD I’m not too used to it yet.

Boy the end of this year will sure be a busy one , but thank God for that ! I’ll have a lot of practice which everyone knows I need So I’m not sad or depressed about it , I’m happy ^^ I can improve while working ^^ and I hope I do! Yesh ! Where are my cheerleaders??? xD

Last but not least xD , the hiatus part. As many of you probably know already , I will be on a 12ve day hiatus from the internet world starting today. No Deviant Art , no MSN , no YAHOO! , no other instant messeging program or any other sites or forums , NO ANIME OR MOVIES! NO GAMES !!! T^T NOTHING! I must work so besides music sleeping food baths and feeding tha cats nothing will make me move from this chair and from working on PS >_> I’m gonna die xD

Well that’s about all ^^ See Y’all once I come back!

Wish me luck I’ll need it xD

[Status]*Update*

Well it’s been a while since I last updated here. not that too many people visit but well since I made it should keep it up to date.

Regarding my art I’ve been quite on a hiatus when it comes to digital art.But I solved some problems recently and I’ll be able to start once again. I was uncertain with my friend Elena if I’d be able to work with her regarding this shop , but I talked to her these past few weeks and we decided to take it more seriously. So I’ve asked her to start drawing more. She doesn’t really work with coloring in photoshop but knows how to use the program so it won’t be hard for her , I just need to force her into drawing more.Cuz she’s a lot more skilled than me and it’s a damn waste that she doesn’t do anything about it.

Anyway, so one problem solved.

Second problem was what products to make for the anime convention this November. But I finally decided on that too. I will be making :

• BUTTONS:Naruto Shippuden Ex Team 7.These will include Naruto Sakura and Sasuke in their shippuden outfits.I already painted sakura and sasuke , all that’s left is naruto.No kakashi sorry I’m not taking too many chances , I don’t want to make them and not sell them.
• KEY-CHAINS: 3 models with a character from the following anime : D. Gray Man; Ergo Proxy; Bleach. I did not decide yet on what character to make.
• PRINTS: 3 models of the main characters of the following anime: Death Note; Inuyasha; Full Metal Panic AND 3 models of one character from the following anime: Kiddy Grade; Full Metal Alchemist; Ghost in the Shell.Here I have not decided which characters to make.

• BOOKMARKS: 3 models of the following anime: Yu Yu Hakusho; Rouroni Kenshin; Hellsing.Again undecided what characters to draw yet.

Those are all the accessories I will be making for the convention. And I planned on making stickers and postcards and straps or phone-straps too but it’s already too much as it is and I’m afraid I won’t be able to sell them.

Also while I’m on the subject , I was thinking of taking up commissions at Nijikon while my friend Elena will sell and sketch and my cousin will run around taking pics of cosplayers bring me food and stuff xD (I’m gonna make him my slave!) xD. I did not decide yet if I will take commissions. I planned to for a long time now though I was feeling weird especially if I was the only one. But then I saw that a friend on DA Raluca will be taking commissions I got the courage to think about it xD Plus I’ve been talking to another friend who told me what he does at cons and how stuff works there , he’ been of great help cuz now I got an idea of what to do.So there are three options; either I take traditional commissions , digital commissions or both xD

• Option A : I take traditional commissions and draw stuff like sketches , detailed drawings and inked drawings.No traditional coloring I suck at that xD
• Option B : I take my cousin’s girlfriend’s laptop(Elena who’ll be coming with me) ,my tablet and if I got luck and take my brother’s girlfriend’s LCD screen too I will be able to take 2 or 3 digital commissions …depending on how long we can stay there and how long it’ll take me to make the commissions.
• Option C : I do both; take only one or two digital commissions and 3 or 4 traditional ones , again depending on how long they leave us stay in the alley xD.

So I’m not sure yet.

But regardless of that , since I decided to go to an art uni starting next year when I finish this sports uni , I realized I really need to sharpen my traditional drawing skills so I started to draw each weekend traditionally and I must say I think I’m noticing small improvement xD but at least I’m noticing. Now all I need is to buy all the right tools and I’ll have no problems. Although in the situation I’m in with cash it will take a while to buy them xD bleh I need to find families for my kittens , I can’t take care of 4 kittens specially since I don’t have a job. Life sucks ….I need a job….

Anyway enough with the babbling I’ll post some works I made recently which probably most people who visit this blog are from DA and already know them but who knows maybe other people visit too xD.

First I’ll post the team 7 pics I made of sakura and sasuke:

Now here are the first drawings which gave the start to my traditional practicing xD 3 weeks ago.

And a more recent work. The last fully colored digital work I did , a chibi commission:

Enjoy! And hope I have more time to update here from now on.
