HALLOWEEEEEEN! ... tomorrow.

My roommate is going through a rough time right now, and recently my car broke down, so we're going through a rough spot. Luckily Halloween is so, so close and it's my favorite holiday, EVER (that EVER is said/typed in the most serious way. EVER).

I missed out on celebrating it last year since that was around the time I moved to Nashville for the Art Institute and didn't make many friends right off the bat (I was so dead set on going, getting my degree and having the least amount of human interaction as possible in the process. Horrible decision, but once I snapped out of that mindset it was kind of easy for me to make friends) so I didn't dress up or even celebrate it. This year... I'm dressing up. I was very tempted to buy an... airplane costume? Found it in the kids section at Target. Getting an aviator hat and goggles were the next steps but once I saw the price tag I bid it farwell... after I got a picture with it.

Also! I've been trying to stay active with drawing. I get lazy. A lot. So, joining groups and trying to post in this blog is kind of helping. Ahaha. I ended up entering into a Hetalia Halloween contest at http://usxuk-club.deviantart.com/

America and England as Ed and Shaun from Shaun of the Dead! PFFFT. I love that movie SO HARD. unf.

I think I might join the USxUK lj group... maybe. I need to stay active! D:

Style change?

I'm going through that phase where I feel the need to choose between keeping a Japanese style or adapt an American one. Might swap it around every now and then.

My roommate said she noticed that I tend to draw more in the manga style when I'm mellow/sad and vice versa when I'm hyper/in a good mood.

Either way... I need to work on backgrounds, buildings and body proportions.

Instead I keep drawing faces. I already know how to draw faces! Well, can practice more... but I definitely need to practice on other stuff. Like perspective. Bluh.

Ahaha... Look at that lovely skyscraper with the 3 point perspective while using the rule of thirds...

So, my roommate (she's awesome you guys) got me into a small group on dArt that are all about some kigurumi stuff. KiguRumble. Pretty much you're a character that wears kigurumi pj's, and if you're a fighter you get a furry form. The picture up above is my character, Russel. His kigurumi is a hyena. I'll probably draw more of him soon. Right now I'm stuffing my face hole with multicolored layers of cake. DEEEELISH! ... while watching our cat stick her face in a cup of milk that she can't quite get....

Last year at Ai... maybe?

I'm almost halfway through my first quarter of the new school year. Or not! My transfer credits screwed over the usual line up of classes before I got here so I have no clue if I'll be able to graduate by the school year or need to stick around a bit longer. Ahaha...

Thought I'd share some of my projects for this quarter and possibly get some feedback. Want to meet new people that are into animation or just meet new peeps in general!

Cheers.

Concept art for a little character I'll animate with Flash. :D Haven't named her... So, I'll just stick with Witchy Witch since I keep naming my file that (or some weird variation of that). Wanted to do something that was Halloweeny~

And practicing with SAI. Still a hardcore fan of Hetalia...
