I'm back!!!! So lets have a fucking party!
I'm back in uni so it's all go go go!
I've been working hard on my mac getting my coursework ready for the reading week that's coming up, so i can draw something of my own! finally! I hate working to briefs that our tutors give us... they never set anything I can actually do... I hate film-making (or film-maiming in my case) and things like animation... i just can't do it... gah... it takes me so long to do one image I just understand how they expect me to create an animation in a week anyway...

☆Don't be offended if I don't reply to your comments☆
It's not because I'm arrogant. or that I have too many people all trying to talk to me at once... [which often does happen]
I'm getting ready for starting my Graphic novel course.. [sigh] It's gonna be a long time until I can get online again too seeing as I wont be able to stay at my bf's house as much...
And as soon as my new wacom pen arrives... I'm gonna be immensely busy. I have a six/seven month backlog to sort out T_T... including uni work I haven't even started working on yet, and designing loooads of funky accessories, plush toys and shoes that will be also up for commission from me gahh sooo much stuuufffff (more info on that later on in the year tho)
I'm also designing new abstract fantasy characters. but I'm not saying much as to what ideas I have... hehe wait and see
so I have loads of pent up frustration that needs to get out through the medium of painting. and I've been doing nothing but research into ways of improving myself artistically. I've been studying MORE anatomy, textures. the physics of fabrics. and even repeat pattern designs for fabrics so that my work can look more realistic, more beautiful and lifelike as well as studying textures and lighting.
So it's gonna be an exceptionally busy year for me from now on I guess...

Thanks for all your critiques... those joyous things are what fuel me to get better. so keep leaving them for me!!
I promise I will reply to you very sooon!!! And if I don't get back to you soon, plz just understand that I'm VERY busy so dn't be angry with me k??
melovesj00rly!!
see yaaah!!!

☆ wanna know something cool?☆

I found a lovely tutorial on displacement maps if you too have problems overlaying texture... i will say though you have to be quite adept at photoshop to grasp this at first! but it has proved itself to be an invaluable piece of information to me!

credits 'n' major kudos to ☆ Patrick Shettlesworth ☆ for the tutorial

I wont be updating for a while as I'm going back to uni
So I'm sorry if you are bored of my gallery already... As I said I'm getting ready to go back to uni. and taking advantage of what little time i have left for my own painting too... I promise when I come back from my little vacation... I will be producing better quality artwork. in the meantime. have fun creating your own works... and I look forward to seeing them!!
bai baaaaiiiii!!

☆ A little something for you to think about ☆

"Some of them pop... other's don't... I don't get why! they're all the fucking same!!!" - ☆ me vs rice crispies ☆

☆ Are you in the box? ☆

Commisssions for ALL artwork open again!
although I cannot create digital art just yet as my new wacom pen is on it's way to me, so I can take commissions... it just might take me a while to get them to you. I can accept requests for traditional artwork.
digital artwork commissions should be back to normal by the end of the month so hold onto your pantsu!!
