ughhh why is spring break already almost over /AAA\

just one picture today

So anyway, meet Russell Everiss. He started out as an alternate AoH character (he was going to be in Virens) but in the end Calanthe won out. Next I was going to try out for a different OC academy on dA with him but I didn’t finish the picture in time. Oh well, there’s always next time.

…besides, seeing as I have pretty much only storyboards for the AoH assignments right now and they’re due in a week it’s probably a good thing I didn’t up and join another one. aha. ha. ha.

it keeps happening

By which I mean I keep procrastinating on work and whatnot and end up having to rush everything together in a few days, augh. stop doing this to yourself, me.

Anyway, school is pretty much running as usual, where “by usual” means "”there are exams in every class and multiple papers are due on the same week,” but that’s just how the schedules work out. As a result, I haven’t had much time to really draw, outside of some quick sketches here and there on paper I happen to have lying around. AoH’s new semester has started up though, and I’ll probably start working on some stuff for that soon…ish. /)_(\ I should probably participate more in that community, but I’m not a huge fan of chatroom RP—it’s very hard for me to keep track of who’s talking to whom in that kind of thing and I tend to get lost. It’s at least nice practice for doing sequential art.

At least anthropology continues to be interesting.

A couple pictures (mostly just color refs) under the cut.

Doing a freebie sketch thread on Solia. These two were the samples:

The one on the right is a Sableye ginjinka, lol.

Rest under cut.

taking a break from studying to scan stuff

ughhhh so pretty much school is killing me right now eAe

Exams are this week. The schedule isn’t too bad (exams Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), it’s just…I don’t feel like I’ve actually learned anything this semester?? I just hate organic chem and I hate ethics. maybe I really should have changed my major back when I had the chance. =A=

aaaaanyway. A couple preliminary designs for stuff. They’re all drawn on the back of handouts because I doodled them in class or in short bursts in between studying. Whyyyy does all the inspiration have to come when I have tons of shit to do. ._.

This one first. it’s supposed to be for the gijinka contest on Solia. Theme is peppermint/spearmint candy. it’s also influenced by ballet costumes somewhat.

These two are designs for costumes for AoH’s Victorian-themed winter ball. Top is Eesu’s Prince Ram, bottom is Calanthe. We weren’t sure if we wanted to do a cross-dressing picture or not…which is why there are two designs for each.

DRAWINGS OVER. AND NOW THE EMO STUFF. doing the 10 days thing because I’ve seen it floating around dA and livejournal (and yeahhh I’m pretty much copying Eesu sorryyyy /bows) and heyyyy what better time to be venting and emo than when I’m already stressed from exams. x_x under the cut. but only if you really want to read it.

scandump

dumping down some scans because Eesu bullied me into it again. o9

small quickie dump

Didn’t make it into the Gaia auction, sadface. oh well, I guess this means I just have more time to focus on the Secret Santa thing. Considering signing up for another group now… xD

RE: the secret santa thing, working on the journal post with the requests makes me realize just how little I’ve actually drawn lately. I just don’t have the time for it, usually! science is mai clingy waifu ;A;

Right. Art dump.

This was done on an oekaki board (here). My first oekaki in a really long time. I don’t think I’ve done oekaki before this since…SheezyArt’s? Man, when was that? 2005 or so? idk.

…idk why I decided to do lineless; it’s a pretty rare thing for me. It was kinda fun tho, so. Maybe I’ll work life that some more later. I also picked a canvas size that was a bit too big for how it ended up in the end, oops.

Rest under the cut!

an exercise in self-indulgency

ok yeah basically notes on this whole ORIGINAL UNIVERSE thing I’ve had bouncing around in my head since picking up FE8 again. This is amazingly dumb and also really, really disjointed because that is just how I work out things like this!

UNDER THE CUT SO NO ONE HAS TO READ THIS IF THEY DON’T WANT TO /)_(\
