LDS Furmeet

Saturday was the LDS furmeet. I have to say, it was quite fun, even though there were a few "wtf" moments.

My sister and her husband drove me up there. We got to the park at 1 PM. At first, we didn't see anyone. When we did, they were over by some trees and it was hard to see them. So I sucked it up and walked over. Luckily, they were part of the furmeet, though none showed any sign of being a furry. Whatever, though. Not a big deal. Because I was in a fullsuit, it was easier for people to find us after that.

Once everyone arrived, we had a total of 3 fursuiters; myself, Ine, and Nova. I was the only one in a fullsuit. At one point, I ended up pushed down a hill by my sister (it was quite fun, actually). But for the most part, we sat in a circle at told each other how we joined the fandom. After that, I decided to head out. I was feeling tired and hot (I left my water at home) and so we left.

I washed my fursuit today and she definitely needed it! The water turned a greenish-gray color and it was nasty. Now I'm letting it dry outside.

Unfortunately, this will be my last blogpost for awhile. I have to send my laptop back to HP to have it inspected and fixed. My box will be here tomorrow and Wednesday morning I will send it out. It'll take 2 business days for them to get it, 3 -5 business days for them to fix it, and then 2 more business days for me to get it back. Luckily I still have a warranty on my computer, so this is all free for me.

I'll be back with some traditional art, though! I'll even start sketching out my Christmas project. c:
Hope you all have a fantastic couple of weeks! See you soon!

Also, have some pictures from the furmeet.

I don't know about that last one. 8)

Guarana

When I was down in Brazil, every night when dinner I would have a nice, cold glass of Guarana. Shortly after getting back, my manager told me that Guarana was available in the US. I went down to the store and searched the entire store for it but found none. Today I went back and I found some! It's super pricey, but it's definitely worth it. <3

I love the drink, so naturally I shared a few cans with my family. My younger sister and my soon-to-be-brother-in-law both liked it, but my mom and older sister hated it. So my dad and I called them communists. We're such a loving family. c:

I'm incredibly excited about this drink. It makes up for the fact that I'm opening tomorrow at work. I have to get up at 8 AM to get ready for work. Luckily, I have something to keep me entertained. I have to stamp over 1000 coupons. So this will definitely give me something to do! I went in the other day and stamped about 600 in 2 hours. That wasn't including the time I stopped to help customers. Once I get home, I'll draw and work on these pictures. Saturday I'm going to up Salt Lake City for a furmeet and I'll be offline from about 11:30 to 4 PM, possibly later. I'll have plenty of pics, though!

No new art tonight.

Now I'm gonna go. I want to work on some pictures a little bit before I go to bed tonight. I do need to go to sleep early because like I stated above, I'm working tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

Expect pictures tomorrow night and Saturday night.

Changes

Some of you may or may not have noticed my background has changed on here. What do you guys think? Do you like it? Dislike it? Let me know. Honest opinions!

I've been feeling a bit better lately. Saturday I ended up going offline early. I had a bit of a break down and locked myself in my room for a couple of hours. Yesterday things weren't much better. I completely kept myself off all messengers. I kept my Hotmail open, though, and noticed a new e-mail from Twitter saying someone had mentioned me.

Long story short, my boyfriend and I ended up talking a little bit about the situation going on. While he wasn't the cause of my emotional problems, he helped me feel a lot better. Today I popped onto Skype to talk to him. While I don't feel 100% fine, I do feel a bit better honestly.


I've started doing some art trades on dA. I had two people interested and as of now, both trades are sketched! Along with this, I've asked some people to suggest a few of my original characters. I've had two requests for Miles and suggestions for Eva, Valentino, and Sampson. Once I finish these trades, I can go ahead and do those. c:

Trade 1: Outlining.

Trade 2: Scanning the sketch.


Tomorrow school starts. Not for me, but for my sister. Since my other sister and my dad work full time and because my mom is out of town, I'm going to be home alone tomorrow and possibly Wednesday. Kind of sad, but I'll have plenty of time to work on these trades.

And now I don't know what else to talk about... Have a good night (or day?) everyone. <3

Bubbles

I've finally finished my project! The idea was to trap a few different characters into some bubbles and capture their reactions based on their personalities.

The picture itself required over 70 layers spread across 9 different pictures. One picture for each character, plus the background. Below you can see the individual characters with their name below the picture.

 Deruku

 Kay

 Kyu (bottom)

Kinka (top)

Marz

 Shkushi

 Slasher

Thana

And that is all. Just for kicks and giggles, here's an additional picture I finished this week.

And here's the concept doodle I did the night before this one:

SO MANY PICTURES!!!

Nearly Finished

I'm nearly finished with this project. I need to do two more characters, add a background, then I'll be all done. Each character involved will be uploaded separately as well so that the owners of the characters can use their own image as they'd like.

On top of this, I finally have a semi-solid schedule! I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (for now). No complaints here! My paycheck next week should be around $200 dollars, which means I only need $30 more for my car payment. Then I owe my dad $50, and then anything I have left over, I'll put into savings for October's car payment and I'll treat myself to something small. c:

And I guess that's all I have to report. Next time I update this, I'll have the project finished. I don't know how much I'll work on it tomorrow. I tend to get super lazy on the days I'm supposed to work. I don't do anything but sit and stare the the computer, but we'll see what happens.

1. Kinka 100% 

2. Deruku 100%

3. Shkushi 100%
4. Kay 100%
5. Marz 0% (Sketching.)
6. Slasher 100%
7. Kyu 100%

8. Thana 0% (Sketching.)

People are nuts.

I've recently become addicted to Hardcore Pawn. I've been watching it a lot lately.. The people are absolutely nuts, though. o_o;

I had a dream I worked for the people who do Hardcore Pawn. I was working at a desk and my job was to update the site, remove things that were sold, post up new things, etc. I kept screwing up by going to places I wasn't supposed to go. It was a weird dream. Huh.

Anyway. I've slowly been chopping away at my to-do list. Slowly but surely. Of course, the moment I start to do art for others, I get an idea for myself. So I'll finish sketching the two things below, plus one character for my personal project. Heck, I may even outline one of the pictures before I work on this person idea I have swimming around in my head. I just want to get the sketch done. But I have an idea for a My Little Pony cosplay based on the fanfic Rainbow Factory. Its beautiful in my head. I just hope I can do it justice. D:

Anyway. Below is my to-do list, not including the cosplay idea.

1. Azrael and Rolfe encounter - 0% (Sketching)
2. Chibi request for CalypsoRayne - 0% (Sketching)

And the personal project....

1. Kinka 100% 

2. Deruku 100%

3. Shkushi 100%
4. Kay 0% (Thinking.)
5. Marz 0% (Thinking.)
6. Slasher 0% (Sketching.)
7. Kyu 100%

8. Thana 0% (Thinking)
