What's up?

It's the same old song and dance. I've been kept quite busy... and well it looks like a continuing trend though one that I'd like to break up a little. But we'll see how that goes.

Anyways so what's keeping me away and such... well mostly exams and having no time as I adjust to the routine cleaning and commuting and all. Though it all comes in cycles so yeah... and seeing as it comes and goes all the time, if I seem to be absent I might be busy with exams and ban myself from my computer and otherwise I'll be here doing the regular stuff XD so um be patient with me in moment of disappearance and I'll bounce back onto here as soon as I can! :D

Ummmm what else to say..... Oh oh I come on and I was browsing and I found this awesome picture and immediately thought of my character Aria and her first love >.< because that's how I had envisioned depicting the scene once I finallized the design for that past lover... [link] though at this point in time she would not have known to sprout wings.... but the pose was just right and so coincidally the girl had wings like Aria X3... Gosh I'm obsessed with my own characters O_o ... sorry for my blurt that possibly no one cares about.

On other news, I'm still slowly working on WitS and will somehow get stuff done X3 I can't wait to start a new chapter... but computer inking takes forever for me. Next chapter will be entirely traditional media... that means you guys get a glimpse at my really terrible attempt at a legible handwritting... (it may change half way to computer insertion of text if it gets really too hard to read...) but I really wanted to see how much I could do with pen and paper and well traditional media in all it's unforgiving-ness.

Well that's all I have to say at the moment :P

Thanks for the love, support, comments, views and faves everyone!

The most lovely part about my update is this part and I could have written this out ages ago!!!! Yes I am happy! because I have stuff abounds to share here :D

So I'd like to start with the theme *wonderful prizes* and indeed I've received much to squeal over in the way of prizes (remember that drawing I did of the ninja girl at night... with the golden eyes, well it's won me some art that made me very happy!)

The first to come was this lovely drawing [link] by :iconookami-kun: it sent me in raptures! It was done so promptly and I asked for any of my characters from WitS and I got what I asked for and more! 4 characters (Nekora, Aria and the twins) were drawn in such a lovely style and I had only expected one! I was so happy I showed it off to anyone talking to me at the time... The portrayal was in character and the clothing just right! :) And totally enjoyed my stroll through the gallery ;P too cute X3.

The next one to come in was a drawing of Mak [link] by :icontak171: ! :D again the choice of any character was given. and I was glad to see that it was a character that wasn't drawn as much before. Mak here looks like his young self :P which is cute to see :heart: . Great thing is that he's the character that I'm currently more focussed on in my mind right now X3. So I am pleased! Totally worth checking out this young and upcoming deviant (only 14! O_o)

Last of the prizes is this lovely sketch: [link] by :iconangeline92: . It was for another contest long ago :D but hey it still counts here X3 and I love the way she made the sketch so much more than a sketch by making the lines multicolour X3 I really like! and on top of that.... IT'S TETA!!!! :heart: so this is officially the first time Teta makes it in the fanart scene! and so I sqwee for joy! :D

Now now ... what's this? there is more! yes more! because I have one more lovely picture to share and one I got to see just as I was typing this away! and it's of Niora [link] . It was done by :iconlilacsnow: and it's so nice to see yet again a character that doesn't usually get any shine time X3 I love the colours. :3 So I ish very happy XP

And again Thanks for the lovelyness ! I'm very happy for it! :D

( I put all the fanarts up here, if you are curious to see the past fanarts: [link] )

Rambles:
*This is the section to skip because I just have fun rambling about the stupidest things :) *

Well I was thinking of skipping the update here... but then it would be so un-kat-like to not ramble on abotu SOMETHING... So ummm yeah I had to pull somthing out of a hat full of nothing...

I could ramble about how it has already snowed... but it's been a few weeks since the first snow... so the excitement and my snow rambling ability has diminished into nothingness...

Then tests came into my life... and we had a rocky relationship and ended up in a very painful break-up with not much to look happily back on... Ah no that's not going to cut it for the ramble section...

But then maybe If I retold the tale of the lovely Halloween I had... well lovely... that's up to who you ask... XP

Soooo I spent the morning doing laundry... wow that's EXCITING! and then the day actually starts... I was first dressed as a man of the regency period... or pretty much... with my shirt, the frills, my white silk scarf tied to my neck with folds and tucked into the vest, my jacket that sort of echoes the style of the period and the black pants... but that wasn't' even my Halloween costume... it was my half halloween costume for strolling around toronto and not freeze to death. besides most people wouldn't get it... they'd just think I'm a girl with a bizarre fashion taste... not someone dressed up...

So what now... well I have to get to class... and actually dress up properly! And so off to the washroom adn change my pants to a ragged-end, striped skirt. place a matching bandana on the top of my head and stick the rubber/plastic knife in my mouth and TADA ! instant pirate! It was fun and I was in that all of class XP it was awesome! because I got to take pictures of the few others who dared dress up too XD two minnie mice, the operation game, Aubrey Hepburn, Anime characters and more... It was a fun atmosphere and totally proved that it's never too old to dress up in costumes X3

Anyways after that I had to rehearse... rehearse what you ask? well for a skit I was to perform in in the talent show of my faculty... I'm no actrice and can't project my voice but heck I still couldnt' get out of it even if I tried... But it ended up being soooo much fun XD so much ad lib-ing and well aparently I was not too much out of character XP ( I was acting as one of my profs O_o ) I can't wait for the DVD to come out, I didnt' get to see much of the show seeing as I was part of it and when I wasn't on stage I was backstage help...

After that I went to a friend's place... and lost track of time >.< which meant that I had no subway to go back home on and had to rely on street car and the vomit-comet yet again... saddly at 2:30 in the morning all the people in bars head back and so all the busses would be full... And so I decided to walk to the next stop hoping that people would have gotten off if I walked further away from downtown... but no it was full still so walked to the next stop, same conclusion... walked to the next... same thing... and just kept walking and checking and walking. And for the longest stretch I was followed! it kind of creeped me out but as I got close to my turn off the follower didn't follow and I felt much safer again XP though still I think I will do a better Job at avoiding the wandering around past my bedtime...

wow total tangent! And here I was trying to say that I had had the work out of my life. A good hour and a half walking with a heavy bag, up and down hills after a night of running around dragging chairs on and off the stage and tables and occasional heavy old piano that will only be turned on one side ^^;. Ok so actually I had no point in writting this out... but rather this has truly become my online journal for me to keep track of the thinsg that have happened in my life... perhaps I shall look back on this and realise how I focus on the silliest things in life XP.
well toodles!

It's kind of heavy leaving the things we like for a cause. On the other hand, I've been loaded with projects which share similar submission dates. @_@ Flash animations and some other crazy stuffs I'm not confident of being able to finish properly in the said date.. Sigh.
Dunno but a journal from you, I couldn't resist commenting on right away. Well I don't wish to forget what I want to say so I guess that's what's best.
Speaking of which, I've yet to catch up with WiTS.. :p I'll make do when my break starts.

On to the ramble section, wow I dunno whether you're serious talking about that rocky relationship or if that's just a pun to link with the test. 0_o Sounds serious for me.. Plus I did recall of what you said earlier about you. Well in case it's as such, hope you're feeling better. I was afraid the same thing would launder me should I involve myself in one right now.. And thinking how 'I've missed the chance'(I'd rather use this term because I've only been heartbroken once, the rest don't even have the chance to start) 3 times in a row now(not counting you, jk jk XP ) I think that's it for me until I'm really ready for a commitment. Just when I can focus doing work, I'm afraid I'm too tainted with emotions should something heavy occur.. And while I don't need any of that, I think I'm better left single for now. Plus it's the worrying career life as an artist that's ahead of me. I better prove myself for what I'm worth right now or I'd be dead. I knew I almost did at high school.. Now that I'm not labouring and get the chance to study something that really meant to me without other disturbances, I don't wish to mess up like I once did. And hey.. I guess focusing myself over this has made me pretty much neutral about relationships almost at all.
Well it's just me viewing the long run. :shrug: I like to think that we'd all die one day and what you could grasp until that moment is what really mattered. I don't think I'm good at keeping up a relationship(being too easy I'm more likely to be cheated) and if I must live this life alone then I'd rather be like that than having break ups that'd slow me down when I could go faster pursuing something else that'd make me.
Oh noes I think I rambled too long about this.. ^^; And dunno if you're serious or that worried about it.. Well but you get the message. I'd rather go around loved shallowly by peers until the right person comes. Coincidentally, the last movie I saw ( [link] ) thought me a lot about dealing with women. Full of respect but still prove to be very entertaining to them. :*D The movie was very sweet and touching.. And I really admire the colonel's way with women. X3
Figured I could be like that? Hah! Who knows. :lmao: I think I could.

And wow. 0_o Seemed like you got really 'involved'. Seems busy but there's something empty there behind that writing, nah, it's just me feeling things. Or is it really like that?

As for me, well getting further into the pro life has proved to be as empty-ingly busy somewhat. Well.. at least I come to recognize on what I should be focusing on and drop less important stuffs without feelings. >.< And speaking of you continuing WiTS.. I could be dropping my renpy-ing at all which promises less of my future as compared to drawing comics. And maybe a comic that everyone would rather read too instead of the alternative ones I like.. We'll see.. In 2009 a local comic magazine will be hosting their once every 2 years competition again and maybe I'll look to score a win on that. And if I do maybe I'll start doing it on the upcoming break.

It's been a really long comment XP hope you enjoy that. Well here's hoping all's well and good. Toodles to you too! :hug:

Oh the relationship thing is a metaphor for the Tests and my utter failure... so in a sense it is serious but it doesn't really make me all too miserable (or I got over it) now to move on and jump right into a new "relationship" while studying for my Medicinal chemistry test GAH!

I'm just drained at the moment and have very little to say seeing as almost all I have to say is related to school adn it's mundane routine or stress and work. So I was uncreative with stuff... I need to find myself a pleasure outing full of Mishaps to prattle on about in my usual silly manner... I failed in teh ramble section this time... but then again I was waiting for the rambles to become like this... because this is more like rambles very empty of thought.

Good luck! though I would not just drop a project if you enjoy doing it in that form. though doing a comic will earn you more points I guess in the art world seeing as it's an older form of story telling with art.

Oh ^^; that's a relief to hear. So it's my alternate guess eh?~ :XD:
Well tests actually I'm wondered of how you speak of failing tests yet manage to get by on finals? That's really something, making the run at last minute... 0_o

Not that it's that bad. After all this seems like a take at reading what your usual school days would be like. And well to be honest that's much more eventful than what I'm having here. ^^; Geez, anyways I got somehow worried about the metaphor; particularly on the 'very painful' part although one of my take is if you're really hurt for that reason you could have elaborated even more seriously or something(Well here I have a serious problem of wanting to assist a downed friend as I possibly could ^^; ).
Anyways that took my focus from something else I want to pick on what you wrote.. On your exotic sense of fashion XD well it's not that bad I tell you. After all in every age there has got to be a fashion sense rejected by many in the old days but are widely accepted nowadays. So.. Maybe ours are the sense of the future? :rofl: Tell me, I shouldn't be the one critiquing since I wear what no one else does in working environment! Well nothing that strange but it's the way I wear things that seem eccentric to some. Well I.. Like to wear buttoned shirt, coated with an unbuttoned shirt. The strange part is the collars which present in double. I guess it does seem unusual.. But only because no one else wears them that way. :lol: In a graphic sense, I must say it does stress that the person wearing it looks important, or with power, particularly on the overcoating and double collars part.
Although my actual intent of wearing it that way is because of getting the right amount of ventilation & temperature in working environment. I shiver during classes due to low heat(maybe I'm a reptile LOL) if I wear only a single layer and sweaters are overkill.. Until once I got to once again took a bus ride home and had to minimize my luggage all I can, resulting me in wearing my shirts this way for the first time and find it surprisingly comfortable, plus it kinda look like something.. :lol: Well wearing it this way, there's proper ventilation on the front torso(really, I have to air it all the time or I'd face somewhat terrible consequences) even when the shirt is buttoned, and the overcoat helps protect it from both heat and cold. Although everyone else thinks it's me dressing up. Well maybe I partly am.. But the main reason is this. :p

And well about that person following well better be safe than sorry. It could be coincidental that the person is treading along the same route but then again who knows. For that instance mom always told me to be careful when going around alone.. Well I guess I see the point. But things happen, and we can only be so careful. :shrug: Just take care not to be out so late. We don't want to lose you over something unforgiving.

And umm to be honest on that doing comic part I'm not really sure. To be honest having lived a labouring life for very long and suddenly getting it changed I still fail to see the chance of getting my hobby turned into my work. I can do just fine doing art for others..(Because that's what I do in those days, labouring for someone else) But I don't really know what'd I want for myself. So maybe it's going to be like how I do art in my labour days.. To just draw what I really like.
But oh heck I think I'm drained of my creativity and interest to draw, thanks to the art course I'm taking! >.<
Well looky here I think I'm feeling as troubled as your are about school life. I better not stress too much on what I really want to do.. After all I used to be a person who enjoys life simply by resting after hard labour. It's just that I'm craving for a consistent project though I cannot keep up with one.. Well maybe I'll only get over this once I really begin to work as a paid artist. Until then.. It's the same ol' cycle of coming up with things and dropping and all I guess. ^^;

Ah I'm starting to talk nonsense :p I better stop before I bore you. This could get really twisted if I'm to go on... :p

:iconkuriosit-kat:
Not that I have much of a choice... but essentially that's how I've been doing... sigh! though I really have to work on getting good grades on my tests right from the start ;P it would save me a ton of stress.

hahaha As for my fashion, I'm not all too conserned XP otherwise I would have conformed to the norm. But I haven't so it's a sign I value my ummmm original dress code and the enjoyment of it over public opinion in this sense.

Hey you know it looks cool and I consider it a bonus if clothing style can work to be advantageous for health and unique. I like to think that we are not all to be in uniform.

Yeah, woudln't want anything bad for sure, but I don't want to be a paranoid chicken either...but no worries I'll be more careful now ;P

:( yeah there is always that risk when turning youpassion/hobby into your work... thhere is the risk of loosing that passion with the loss of freedom in the working world... well hopefully you'll find that there is a new type of passion with art, perhaps in bringing joy or pleasure for those you work for?
