So after a long ass summer break, I finally started school yesterday. Now it wouldn't have been bad of our hadn't gotten my monthly visitor in the morning, bringing alot of pain with it. So this week is already gonna suck coz of that.

All in all, I'm pretty excited for my final year. I get to work with a group, doing VFX for an actual feature film which gets me featured film credits and an imdb Page. 

I'm going to be as productive as possible this year, with both my school work and drawing. 

Cupid

This is so frustrating...it's not that I DONT know what to draw...I have several WIPs in my computer. It's just I don't like any of it after im finished with the sketches. I start colouring then I hate the whole thing. The requests I have yet to finish I sletched like a thousand times...everytime I THINK I like it, I find or I don't after I start colouring. Wtf is wrong with me

Okay, when I asked for cold, I didn't ask for rain. Because when it rains, there are cracks through my ceiling and the rain water leaks down the walls where the head of my bed is...now both my pillows are wet...fml...and I wanna draw but I wanna stay in bed...and it's almost 2am and I just watched a horror movie.

So apparently it's spring down under but we've been getting some pretty hot weather. Like yesterday was 30C. I hate the heat and this only reminds me that summer is on the way and that means it's time to hibernate in front of the air-con. Good thing schools out for the year and I don't have to go out. Which means there's mo way in hell I'm leaving my house to hang out with friends if it's above 28C.

i want winter back! Or autumn at least!

After 3 years on DA i STILL havent found my style...i jump from style to style and whenever i look at my gallery i just want to delete EVERYTHING! I find it so frustrating, i dont know why. For now, im coming back to my anime style. after the last drawing i did, i really liked it so who knows...it might change later since im so damn confused.

So i went to the doctors to figure out what was wrong with my lower back and it turns out, i damaged my sacroiliac joint. its a join that connects the spine to the pelvis {i think} and the muscles in the area is now inflamed. So i got a prescription and its going to take about 2 weeks to heal {excluding the week and a half thats past}.

I asked my doctor how this could have happened and low and behold, its from sitting down too much when i was doing my assignments.....thanks school...i have an exam on the 10th of november so hopefully i can sit it without it hurting...right now i cant sit at all and can only stand for about 10 minutes before it starts throbbing. So all the drawing is being done while in bed so that why my recent drawings look shit house....

Another downside is its getting hot here and i hate that more than anything....all the retarded flying bugs are out and about now and i want winter back so hardcore.

So I am almost done with  this year! Just have to hand in a few simple things and a Japanese exam on the 10th but apart from that I'm pretty much done! That's the good news.

bad news is that because I've been sitting down for so long to do my assignments, I messed up my tail bone somehow and am having trouble moving around or sitting down. So I have to stay in bed until it heals. That means no sitting at  my desk and drawing to my hearts content like I've been wanting to do for so damn long!

Hey guys! I have an art Instagram now and would really appreciate you guys to follow me there. I will be starting a few contests later on wit cash prizes and the announcements will be in my art IG. Please follow and show your support. Love you all~

I'm thinking about starting up a contest. I mean, this is a great way to getti know all my watchers and see their talents 😊 

it it would probably be an OC contest but I need to get prizes together. So if people can donate prizes, whatever they may be, it would be a great help.

It's spring, the weather is nice yet I'm in bed with the flu...why me?

So im nearly finished with uni for the week, 1 assignment is down and one left and thats due on the 20th. once thats done IM FREE! free to work on my commissions and drawings i owe alot FASTER. Again im so so sorry to all those i owe work to. It has been a crazy time but its nearly over. once i finish my 3d work (i still have to texture, rig and animate.) then ill be able to do nothing but draw, which is something ive been wanting to do for a long while. So please be patient with me, ill have all your work done ASAP.

So my laptop f'ed up and I needed a new one...dad came to the rescue, got me a new one and saved all my files from the old one!! I'm literally so freaking happy!! So commissions are gonna be done quicker! >u<

So I'm coming up to the last few weeks of uni for the year and my computer has chosen now, not during the summer holidays, to screw up. I have my assignments in it and also all the commissions that I have started and almost finished one on it. I'm hoping my dad can fix it but if not, I'm going to have to buy a new laptop. Even so, good news is if I do I can take out the hard drive from my old one and put it into the new one and save my stuff. I don't know why this always has to happen at the worst of times.

Hey guys,
im going interstate for the next four days. From Thursday to Sunday, I will be in NSW, visiting family, so commissions and stuff will be on hold. I will try and work on what I've got but my family have a ton of rowdy little kids so I doubt I'll be getting much done. Also I don't think there will be a decent place for me to set up but I'll be taking my tablet and laptop just in case there is and try and work through the night, if they don't wear me out.

So I've had online and Irl friends and still do (Irl anyway), and I've always wondered, are true friends anywhere or do they have to be with you physically? 
I've had an experience where I have had really good online friends back in the day when I used to rp. I found that I had so much in common with them and we would talk for ages (time difference was never on my side being in Australia). But once the rping stopped we kind of drifted away...I place no blame in anyone of course but I was wondering, perhaps they were just rp friends...or maybe we didn't know how to get our friendship beyond rping? The problem with Irl friends is that, while they are closer to you physically and you can see each other whenever you want, a lot of the times you don't have much as common as you would with an online friend. There are times I wished to fly my online friends down here so we could make a big, awesome gang but alas, I do not have a penny to my name

anyway, having a tight knit friendship has always been something I wanted, I see shows like happy endings (if you haven't watched it, do so, it's awesome.) and though "man I wish I had friends like them. I'm still young and I'm sure I'll find awesome Irl and online friends. 

My question to you guys is, do you prefer online friends to Irl friends or vice versa & why?

just trying to get a discussion panel going

So I had my 3d class today and I was worried since my model was hella retarded my teacher would think I'm an idiot...turns out, a lot of other people had the same issues and he was cool with it and explained things to us very simply...I have time to fix my model before rigging and animating it but in the mean time I can finally get back to finishing my commissions...so sorry for the wait guys!

Why do I take on more than I can handle? And the thing is, I take things on when I'm free then more things come and I take them too but then more things come and I take them on then I can't even breathe! 

After this weekend I will be so much more free to do whatever I need. Not only that but I'm also being told to do volunteering work...it's not that I don't wanna do it it's just with Uni on it's absolutely impossible. Ugh too much stress...I'll also be pulling all nighters this weekend

Hey all!

So to all those I owe art, there will be a delay. I'm currently in a group working on astop motion piece which is worth a lot of our final grade (not exactly sure how much) and guess who's responsible for post production and editing? Yours truly. I also have my 3D work and I still have no idea how to use ZBrush. All in all, I have a lot to do and so little time to do it as everything would be due in like 4weeks. 

I still plan on continuing the commissions and requests I have taken but things might be moving a little slower. I also don't want to rush your commissions since I want my work to be at a high quality standard so I want to take my time and do then well.

Hey guys! So the fan service special commissions will be ending soon! I have two more slots available then I close them Friday 5th September UTC (Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra time).

the special is, any style (anime or comic), full body or half body for Only $15 USD. I have two more available slots and you're welcome to reserve them. Reservations can only be for 24hrs though. If you cannot pay after that, you'll be removed from the list.

EDIT
Fanservice commissions are now CLOSED

Okay so firstly, when I open requests, I do it as a favour because I want to make the people who support me and my art happy (the lucky ones anyway). If I could do a request for every one of my watchers, I would. But sadly I don't have the time.

if I open a request and you don't make it in time because of the time difference, it's not my bloody fault. I'm not going to open requests at 4am my time just so you can have a chance at getting a request. 

Now this isn't a rant for everyone because fortunately, my watchers are all so lovely and understanding. There are, of course, a few bad eggs who don't seem to understand that once I close requests, they're closed. So don't note me a thousand times, begging me to do you a request. And when I block you after several warnings (you know who you are, mate), don't come in from other accounts and start sending me insults and shit. I don't just block someone for the fun of it. It's usually because you're causing me distress and I don't need drama in my life. I've just gotten over a fight with a friend and I don't need your crap. 

Even if you come in from other accounts and try to act all sweet and friendly, I'll know your end game. I'm not an idiot so don't treat me like one. I'm 23 and I can see a fraud from a mile away. 

With that said, it's 1am and I need to sleep. 

For future reference, I usually upload or submit journals between 5-8pm (UTC Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra.)
