I feel very in touch with my heritage lately, possibly due to all these people who keep asking me, "Are you Korean?" The answer is, I'm actually half. : |

( But here's some old photography works and the full Haruhi pic! )

P.S. the heritage part was a joke, if you didn't catch that.

Wow I do NOT remember the last time I posted. Haven't really been checking this flist either... ^_^" Hi everyone...! :D

This is the last crop I made of the guest illust I made for Fresh Baked's Ouran doujin. I would show the whole thing if a) I wasn't too lazy to open Photoshop; b) if it looked good lol... It's Haruhi! It does indeed say "coffee" in Korean on her cup. There's a long story behind it but lol maybe another time XD

Hope everyone's new year is kicking off great. :D I'm still trying to get used to writing 2008. XD School in 2 days, moving on Sunday, haven't packed yet.

;_;

I don't remember doing much art at all in 2007 (is that just me?) but I'm going to make an effort to do more in 2008! Time management is key. -noddles- I am slowly fighting away my art block, but some of it is still here. (E.g. CG block is still here) I've realized that the key for me is to see beautiful things. When I see beautiful things I feel like drawing. This could mean anything. Nature, animation, movie, other's art, and Zack (FFVII). (HE IS BEAUTIFUL T^T flails)

( But yeah, some art~ )

LIGHTNING~!!

(No I totally didn't make this pointless post just so I can use the icon. >_> stamina makes sexy icons~! :D)

LOL MAN POSE WUT.

Man, Lightning is so hot +___+!!! I just can't see her as a girl save the boobs. She makes me question my sexual orientation LOL. A Cloud/Lightning crack pic is a must. +_+!! -evil plans- Maybe I'll throw in Squall too just for the heck of weather names. LOL?

In other news (semi-)realism is harddddddd aslkdfjlaskjdfla and Tetsuya Nomura is freaking not human for coming up with all those details on Lightning. Omg my poor hand and eyes and... brain... +_+ -collapses-

What the shit.

finnimon, have you just done the impossible?

DID YOU JUST TAKE ME OUT OF MY 2 YEARS OLD CG BLOCK?!?!?!?!

(Argh 509am I'm done translating the entire chapter, but this pic isn't done yet, so I guess maybe we'll release it by Sunday...? D: I worked slower than I thought! T_T)

And a disclaimer that NOOO I did not draw that gorgeous lineart haha. It was done by the mangaka Ueda Miwa herself. I only slap the colours. TAT;;

I give up. *_* Hahaha... what was I thinking. I need to copy another 200 photos worth of realism practice before I do something ambitious like this. I realized I know nothing about facial proportions. Depressing stuff.

Please don't say it looks like Squall Leonhart without the scar, it will make me cry. TAT;;

Happy Birthday koroloka and xplushie!

Thanks for the replies on the last entry. <3 I will brace myself and fight to the end with generic anime! *O* -sparkle- But I'm just letting you know they may take me months to complete. But damn it I will finish every single one of them if it's the last thing I do! I think I'm just secretly too scared to begin because the first pic is realism lol. BUT I'm very thankful no one asked for like.. realism in watercolour or something >o>;;;;; Well I'll see. *_* I'll be making separate entries whenever I finish one.

Hmm I remember I had more things to say but I can't remember at the moment. >_O;; Oh well, I'll edit this entry as they come to me. Now for the art component of this post!

Went home this past weekend and brought tablet back with me!!! <3!! (With a shitload of other things too XD)

I told my dad "My domain's gonna die tomorrow..." he was all "Okay" and gave me his credit card ... WITH A SMILE O_O If this is what happens everytime I come back home after 2 weeks...OH MAN HAPPY 2 YEARS BDAY TO YUKIZORA.NET... in 2 days XD;; Probably won't post that day (damn assignments) So hostees you guys are safe for another year~~~ Also speaking of hostees, I got a new one! XD I am now hosting strawbarry_gurl's art site 8D

Yeah um I intended to draw Yukiko but now it doesn't really look like her. In fact I was webcaming with ying_wen and she thought it was Neji LOL ;;;;;;; AND WHY YES, THAT IS ME TRYING TO DRAW SNOW AND COLD STUFF. DX Did I really remind people of winter with my art before? ;;;;;;;

Yeah uhhh Algebra homework kthxbi.

Hmm... should I change this journal to sponsored+ too? Hmm... Decisions... I like art journals simple and clean, but I want icon space and possibly mood theme on this one too. :(

Bah. Came home with the crappiest mood ever... in fact my mood is still crappy. Tried drawing multiple times and couldn't draw anythinggggggggg DX I somehow sketched a Stellar in the end (first Stellar/GSD drawing since 2006 and it's not posted because it's too embarrassing) and this ... which is supposed to be Misuzu but uh. ;;; Was going to try CG in Photoshop CS 2 coz Painter hates my guts right now, but lack of inspiration + crappy mood + can't draw has stopped me from keep going. DX How can people CG so godly in PS? I can't even work the brushes the way I want. It's sad, really.

Poo. Somebody inspire me please. Give me some art counselling. Make me get back into digital art and do more than just mindless sketches on paper. :( It is utterly pathetic how I'd just sit here feeling crappy, and all of a sudden "gonadotropin releasing hormone" would just pop into my head and as soon as I yawn I think of increasing melatonin levels. I better not dream of conservation of momentum or impulse tonight or I will scream. :(

And aha, no, no Roxas this time. XD Haven't drawn him since the last posted sketch. -insert more :( faces-
