So not wanting to be possibly the only blog out there that doesn’t embed music into posts, I went ahead and installed the audio player. It’s a welcome change to how things are usually done. Do you find listening to music helps when drawing or doing specific hobbies? In case you’re wondering the name of the song is Cyber Dance(a remix version) and it’s from the Disgaea2 Arranged Soundtrack.

In other news school is done and now I can finally get back into sketching, cging and revamping the look of tranquil solace!

Starting inking another disgaea chibi today after doing a little cleaning around the house, writing up a lab report and customizing the look of this blog. Can’t believe the number of features built into this theme that I’ve only learned about after…a good 6 months of using it? Well it’s better late than never as they say! At least things are nice and organized now! Now that I’ve gotten the hang of using Paint Tool Sai, let’s see how long this line art will take.

So today is Blog Action Day. The idea is that through blogging, people can spread awareness about issues like climate change, global poverty, environmental problems, world hunger and all the other topics that should be of importance to everyone.

The idea is that through blogging, people can spread awareness about issues like climate change, global poverty, environmental problems, world hunger and all the other topics that should be of importance to everyone. I think this is a great idea personally! There are millions of blogs out there and millions of people to read and follow an author’s posts. If enough people notice this or any other blog that’s participating in Blog Action Day, it is my hope that people will be inspired to make changes, no matter how small, to combat the issues that this event stands for. Happy Blog Action Day everyone!

The weird thing about it is that I have ideas but I haven’t found any that were satisfying enough to draw. Luckily yesterday I made myself a little inspirational wallpaper and as soon as I finished with the wallpaper, ideas started to flow.

Colouring old wip’s sure helps. Can you tell how much I like colouring a character’s eyes…I sure do. Not sure if I’ll put this in the junk section or not, it is sort of old…and the anatomy is atrocious…but I do need more original art. Could always mention that it’s old…hmmm.

Also as a result of new inspiration, I have a new idea for a website layout, so I better get sketching. And one last thing, if you noticed that this blog’s guestbook was broken for a little while, it’s finally fixed and working again, so if you want to leave a little message YOU CAN NOW!

That is all!

Would love some regular commentors! Also testing this new plurk plugin I’ve installed.

To be finished school and hopefully get that B mark I want for chemistry. To be back to regularly blogging, drawing and updating my galleries online and of course on the site. I have less than a week to go and I hope it all goes through smoothly. That reminds me, I need to buy my tickets for Anime North and FanExpo. Hope to get some cute figimas and nendoroids this year if I’m lucky and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg…

Speaking of blogging, not sure if it’s because people are noticing this place more but I’ve been getting a lot of spam here. Not sure what’s going on but it’s annoying as all hell! And for some reason it’s all targeted towards the guestbook. I’m trying to find some sort of plugin to protect the gb but no luck so far, any suggestions? Last thing anyone wants to see is a bunch of comments and all of them are for viagra/cialis/adult friend finder. Better yet, why do I keep getting these kinds of ads in the first place? Last time I checked I wasn’t male…oh internet, sometimes you just baffle me!

Now for the obligatory link to my profile and to try and entice pople to join:

I wonder if there’s a sidebar widget for plurk? Only one way to find out…

And if you must have said plugin, make sure you know what you’re doing*headdesk*! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need some sleep, for tomorrow it’s time to make a new site layout. But in the mean time, I give you a little preview!
