What's been going on...

Well, I realized I haven't updated this since Summer. I apologize!
So art-wise admittedly I've been extremely slow, however I haven't completely been out of the doodling loop. I started up a tumblr account with some doodles that I update pretty frequently. Nothing fancy, just a pick-me-up for the day. It can be found here:

Now that school is over a for a bit, and Winter break is eminent, I'll hopefully be kicking it into gear art-wise! I'll be working on my cosplay for ALA and hopefully be able to get a table for AX again this year!

Sorry for being a bit inactive! I hope everyone has a safe, happy Holiday season!

What's been going on...

Hello everyone, as much as I'd love to bask in the aftermath of AX-dom, I'm afraid I must replace my previous journal already. For the next two weeks I'll be traversing across Europe! Hurrah! I won't have time to go on the computer much by the looks of it, and I'm actually a bit bummed that I won't be able to draw much since I'm being shipped away. However, I'm sure it'll be fun.

As for what's going on. I bought the Soul Eater Art Book, and I literally feel like I sold my soul to get that thing. (Excuse the pun). But seriously. It is godly, I'm seriously contemplating wearing gloves from now on whenever I touch it. It's beautiful. The latest chapter in the manga for Soul Eater has got me on a Soul Eater high. So amazing. I will not spoil anything for those who don't read but for those who do... join me please in a communal. "OMGAWD YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

Very awesome, I love the new uniforms too, and Kid looks mighteh smexeh in one panel. -le swoon-.

So my recent hype of Soul Eater really got me antsy to get back into Project Shibusen ==> :iconprojectshibusen:

However, my partner seems to kind of have moved on from the challenge. So I'm teaming up with the lovely and talented :iconwalkwithtime:. I told her about it and she's totally down for the challenge. We already got four drawings completed of the 100! Hoorah! Blanc makes a come back, look forward to see a bunch of updates of him and Anna (new meister) when I get back =)! <3

I'll see you guys in two weeks!!

Anime Expo 2009 Update

What's been going on...

Wow. What can I say? It was a really fun con. I bumped into a whole bunch of people from high school, dA, and even middle school. It was really a memorable experience.

To start off, it was my first time at the Artist Alley, the first day I was alone, but for the rest of the time I was with the very talented :iconwhitecrow4545: . She was the one cranking out chibi portraits in 10 minutes. She was extremely popular =). I got visited by the lovely :iconnarutofan51: which I was able to show a preview of the current request I am doing for her. Meanwhile, throughout the con I also met up with :iconsupaemofrekk:, :iconevilprodigyyip:, :icondiskerror:, :iconstresseddesserts:, and :iconwalkwithtime: (who was my awesome Maka booth babe and my eternal AX traversing partner).

It was lots of fun having a booth, so much I learned. For one thing, I overprinted like crazy. But on a good note I made enough to pay off for my $50 AX ticket, $50 table, and $170 in printing costs. So I was really pleased. Hahaha. But there were definitely some prints that just didn't do so hawt. And I know better now =). I'm trying to look into PMX to see if they have an Artist Alley of sorts that I could also go too. Ho'well. We'll see what happens.

I was kind of bummed out that I didn't get to wander as much and look at as many cosplays, but the table experience was definitely worth it. I got over my fear of drawing in front of people pretty quickly. Something I've been cursed with since I started drawing. Who knew that it would just take a con filled with thousands of people to get me over it. Hahaha. Well, I feel like my art has approved immensely from the experience just because I received a boost in confidence. I definitely know a little better as to what I'm getting myself into next year.

:iconken12012: was my wonderful helper who woke up every morning at like 7:30am to take me to the booth to setup! My eternal thanks he also got awesome pictures from cosplayers that I missed out seeing due to being stuck behind a booth. He also made an observation in saying that my art was really pretty different from most of the art in the Artist Alley. Which I guess is a good thing. xD.

On another note. My cosplaying partner in crime :iconwalkwithtime: and I decided on something. That we should work on cosplaying without intending for the costume to be for a con. Rather, that we should just make the costume for doing photoshoots and our own personal enjoyment of adding to our cosplaying wardrobes. Our current musing is to actually make a cosplay group of Soul Eater. I would cosplay Soul. =D. Whaddya think? Hahaha.

Well, another AX gone. So many irreplaceable memories! Thank you for everyone who stopped by my booth! And thank you to people who purchased a print!

AX Artist Alley 09: Location and Prints! halp?

Hello everyone! Been a while since I've updated! I've been busy making prints for Anime Expo this year. I will be selling with my friend :iconwhitecrow4545:.

I'm really nervous =__=;;. I've been working nonstop since I got out of school on prints. it's surprisingly tough work but I'm happy xD.

Before I forget, my table location is A48! You can find the map here: [link]

I'm near the front, and at the table end. Pretty lucky location! I just hope I don't look too n00b in front of everyone. >w<

Well as for the prints I'll be selling: Mostly new stuff, but I was thinking about making prints of some existing work. Only some though.

These are the only five I'm considering:

Initially I wasn't going to use any of my existing work but I changed my mind after some persuading from some friends.

[link]

^So old! Personally I don't feel comfortable with it but at a second glance maybe it's not as bad as I fear?

[link]

^If there's anything I'm okay with in this gallery, it's this one to sell

[link]

^This is my most popular piece xD So old! So I think by default I should print this?

[link]
[link]

^These two are some of my favorites. But does anyone like LaviLena xD?

Anyhoo. I'll upload the pictures that I finished this past week eventually as well. Just know that I think they're lots better for the most part xD!

Opinions? Would you guys buy any of these as a print? xD.

I've completed another Soul Eater, 2 matching bleach prints (ichiruki and hitsuhina), and a Vampire Knight print.

I'm working on an Ouran one right now (Hikaru x Haruhi x Kaoru). Maybe a Naruto in the future?

Any other suggestions?

I'll be cosplaying as Kuchiki Rukia from Bleach again this year. I wasn't able to make a costume this year because I was working on the prints >w<. Gomen ne! Hopefully no one will mind having another Rukia run around the convention this year again?

Spring Break & AX Artist Alley

What's been going on...

I had a fabulous spring break, I chopped off 14 inches of my hair and donated it to [link] . Now I'm sporting a cherry-red bob xD. I feel very "light-headed". Forgive the pun! xD

I also went with :iconken12012: and :iconseraphykknyght: to the Utada Listening Party @ Hollywood's Sephora! I was extremely happy to show support for her new English album release. I'm in love with it <3. We unfortunately didn't get a picture or autograph since Utada had to catch a flight to New York. =) I was just happy to see her.

And finally...

I got a table at Anime Expo 2009's Artist Alley 0__0!

Mixed feelings. I've been wanting this for so long. But I don't think my art has ever been in any more of a slump than it is now. Hopefully this will get me crackin' and drawing! Please, any ideas of prints are welcome and loved!

Some possibilities: Code Geass, Vampire Knight, Bleach, Naruto... I must think in terms of things that would both be fun to draw and sell as well! (The table cost $100! Oy vey! Hopefully I can offset that in sales >w<;)

Obsessions:
My fandom is so high...

I got honorable mention in the Bleach cosplay contest hosted by the talented :iconakusesu: . Yipes! I'm flattered!

Current Fandom: Soul Eater
Next Anime to Watch: Gundam 00
