I'm still around... though I haven't drawn much lately ;_;

I guess with moving and everything I just haven't felt inspired. Ugh, need some kind of motivation. Any ideas?

I did at least post a deviation yesterday, although it was supposed to be done for Halloween >_>

The con was so much fun!! I had a great time seeing a lot of my friends that I only get to see once or twice a year. There was so much cool stuff I'm finding it difficult to know where to start!

I cosplayed two different characters. And now, if you were ever curious, you'll get to see what I look like

Road Camelot from D. Gray-man:

And Flonne from Disgaea:

My mom and I made the Road costume and the Flonne one I bought from ... a website I can't find right now because it's been that long since I bought it. I think the Flonne one is more my style but Road was lots of fun because I was with a large D. Gray-man group.

I saw a NiGHTS, Reala and a Jackle. Jackle threw a card at me and said it was a gift XD It was a playing card that had "A gift from Jackle" written on it- such an awesome idea, I totally kept it.

Moar pictures!

I only saw the NiGHTS and Reala once and I was bummed cause I didn't think to ask if I could get my picture with them when I took it. Oh well, maybe next time.

I was the only Flonne cosplayer. There was an Adell and Rozalin in the costume show and they looked great ^^ I wish I had gotten a pic of them but... someone broke my camera earlier that afternoon ;_;

Mostly, I bought Disgaea and D. Gray-man stuff. Sadly there was no NiGHTS stuff but I was happy to find Disgaea figures ^^

Akon is coming up! May 30th!!! *convention happy*

May is always so busy for me @.@

My birthday is this month, plus a lot of my friends' birthdays, working on costumes for anime cons, going home next weekend for a visit, going to Chicago the weekend after that for Acen, then Akon at the end of the month... @.@

That being said, A Dream of Dreams is on hold probably until June. I'll try to get one page up this month but no promises.

~Hysteric-Polaris, I'm about 70% done with my part of our art trade. I hope that you'll like it ^^

Anime Central 2008 - May 16-18th, Rosemont, IL

GO, PEOPLE! You know you want to goooo! I'm so excited about Anime Central. It's going to be so much fun. I just bought my airplane tickets

Earlier this week I was feeling kind of down about my art, you know the typical emo stuff. I think every artist goes through that and knows what I'm talking about >_> At least I think they do. Anyway, I used to really get onto myself about not being very good and I was slipping into it again when I realized that I'm ok at the least and instead of bitching about it I should try to IMPROVE (I know what a concept right? XD ). So I've been reading up on tutorials online and I started with cell shading.

Hmmm, it's late, time for bed. Good night!

I don't know why but I always feel this great pressure to finish my art quickly. I *hate* spending days on a picture. Right now I'm working on the cover for A Dream of Dreams and I have been working on it off and on for about two weeks now. It's driving me crazy that it is not finished and I have decided I will not work on anything else until it is done. Ugh.

I bought Sega Superstars Tennis on Wednesday. I haven't gotten a chance to play it much but let me say this, I HATE PLAYING AGAINST NiGHTS! That bastard beat me so much before I finally beat him >_< The game itself is pretty fun. I've found I prefer using the wii remote in the classic hand held style, it seems easier to control that way. There's a lot of characters and a lot of un-lockable stuff which is good. They also have mini-games for different stages which adds for variety.

As for NiGHTS stuff in the game, you can start off with NiGHTS as a playable character. I did get to play in the Aqua Garden stage (AGAINST NiGHTS >_> and it had the same music and everything, it was very pretty. NiGHTS superstar attack swirls the ball around and when the opponent hits it they are paralooped to another part of the stage where they are confused for a split second. This is paticularly helpful after your superstar runs out, I've found.

I have not unlocked Reala yet ;_; The voice acting is meh... NiGHTS actually says "Weee!" it sounds so forced too lol. My fav line of his is "I can go all the way now!"
