So I have this little dream, a dream about…well let’s say it has to do with anime and comic conventions. With that dream in mind, for the past year and a little bit I’ve been doing some research and secret cg artwork. What the artwork is for, will become clear in due time. For the curious, if you wish to see a few teaser photos of said artwork, I will direct you to my personal blog over at livejournal(be sure to respond to the introductory post and tell me a bit about yourself!). From my research I’ve learned the importance of putting one’s self out there and promoting themselves online. With that idea in mind, I’m going to try my hand at making…

Found this nice plugin that allows you to play mp3 files in blog posts after reading an art blog post. 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!

Amazing the kind of things you can come up with while waiting to go on a lunchbreak, during a quiet morning shift. No idea where these floral designs came from, I just started making one and went to town from there, but I definitely like them! Now if only I could reproduce the effect in photoshop…I think this calls for a little experiment.

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.

I hope everyone’s Christmas went well and that their 2010 is going smoothly so far! Mine was pretty good, nice and quiet, ate and drank a lot…all that good stuff! Well here’s my first(of hopefully many) posts of the new year. Remember how I posted about needing a new laptop? Well…

Yeah…It was definitely time to replace this one!
