It's been very quiet around here, sorry about that. But life is being a mess right now. Personaly and school wise. I just don't know what to think of school right now. Some things are going good other things not so great. I really want to choose Illustration as my direction but I'm getting strange vibes from it. And Graphic design isn't my thing. The thing about Illustration is, is that the things that I see aren't like my art, they are completely different. Maybe I'm just seeing it wrong. It's hard to explain. And trying to learn now programs takes a lot of time too, we now have to use Photoshop, Flash, Indesign and Illustrator! Indesign and Illustrator are annoying. Not my kind of programs. So yeah, not a lot of spare time at the moment. I really want to work on my own things and finnish up the arttrades etc. But I don't have much time. And when I do have a bit of spare time left, my inspiration has ran out. Then all I want is to sit and do nothing.

A good thing is, is that my animation is coming along. I finished my animated storyboard and I'm now in the process of coloring it. It's the only schoolassingment that I like and enjoy doing at the moment. And the arttrades are coming along slowly (they're next to my bed so that I can work on them before going to bed x3). Sorry again for lack of activity and for the new watchers that read this far, thankyou for the watch! And I'll try and keep my gallery updated. And a thanks to *dragonsthatservegod , ~beridon , ~constantie , =Aelanessa and ~Zu86 for the great music suggestions!

_{And one thing that has been bothering me a bit is unfaving. If you don't like it, then don't fave it! Don't fav, unfav, fav, unfav etc just to get attention. It's just terribly annoying! >8(}

Ah, yes I'm back in college for my second year at the Artacademy Minerva. Enjoying it so far even though I have a killer schedule. I've got 3 days from 9 am till 4 pm and one day from 9 am till 6 pm. And one free day for projects and other things. :0 I take the bus to school cause I still live with my parents. One upside of the bus is, is that I can catch up on some sleep. I really can't stay awake in the bus. xD

*drums please* I have animation class!! We're learning all the ins and outs of Flash. And we have to make our own animation in Flash. It has no rules only that it's duration isn't longer than 1 minute. :3 It's the first time I ever worked with Flash but it's lots of fun. My animation is going to be about a little critter named Chico that falls through a trapdoor and ends up in a weird room with warpholes. xD I'll post the runcicle that I made of Chico in a few minutes, he's a bit wonky but very adorable. :3

And now over to you guys, anyone else back to school? Enjoying yourselves a bit? :3

Since the huge increase of watchers and people that visit, I've been thinking about things. It wouldn't surprise you guys that the things that I've been thinking about are about my art. :3

Really want to ask you guys some questions about my art, you don't have to anwser all of them. I wouldn't mind if you anwsered only one of them. But it's always nice to have good feedback. :3

Okay, here we go. I really want to improve on my artwork, so, what needs improvement? It can be in any way, anatomy, backgrounds, dynamics etc. 2 years ago I asked the same question so I'm really curious about the response now. :3

What I'm also curious about is, is that would anybody be interested in a commission from me? I have finally the feeling that my skills are good enough for them. Speaking of commissions, shall I make a few of my artworks availible as prints? If so, which one would you like to see as prints? And one last question, would anybody be interested in tutorials? :3

Hope I didn't bug you guys to much! And thanks a lot in advance for the feedback! :3 <3 O, and feel free to ask me a question too. Maybe about photoshop or something else you'd like to know. :3
