Only a few commissions left!!

Progress to date-

Original Character: 98% (yay!!! going to color later) Need to draw the school crest still.

3 chibi cosplay charms: 60%

Avatar: Sokka x Zuko: 30-40% I’m trying to put Sokka’s hair down, since the commissioner gave me lots of freedoms but I don’t want to get too crazy! But Sokka looks so cute with his hair down TAT

Star Ocean: Leon x Claude: Outline is done. 10%

okay! have to keep it up!

You now accompany the hamster I named after you. He’s yours now.

here’s some sketches I did at the Cafe in Borders with Michael the other day:

also,  http://robo.to/kanoe lol

Never drawn a character like the guy on the left! Quite a challenge! I kept making his face look so fat! haha. But I think I found a good balance. I hope so!

So yeah, 4 done, 3 to go. 2 are couples and 1 is a set of three key chains. (also! I have one waiting in the wings, waiting for the commissioner to tell me what to draw.) I’m pretty excited about the last two, lol. Both BL XD I’ve been leaving them for last only because I don’t want to draw them in public, i.e., here at home in front of my family and random 20+ yr old guys that are  usually around XD THEY JUST WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND!! DDDD: lol

Stayed with Marla and Robert for the last 3 days at their house. It was really fun XD And started playing Metal Gear Portable Ops because of Robert. Oh man, catching pokemon wherever I go. GOTTA CATCH’EM ALL! Went to lunch with Tam, Buddy, Le, and Travis. Caught a bunch on the road, haha. It was hardcore.

Going to walk around spring lake tomorrow with Tam and Kyle and then hanging out with Bagel, Terra, and Zach, playing little big planet!! woo hoo! XD

edit: and here’s a doodle of Bryan Fury from tekken (though it doesn’t look like him at all) I did to loosen up. I haven’t drawn anything non commission in a while, and I don’t want that to effect my commissions in anyway! This helps kinda, loosen my muscles with free drawing.

I’ve been soooo busy! D: But I’ve managed to get in three commissions out of the 10 done >___<;; Aside from just nothaving time, I’ve also been in a kind of artists block >__<; nothing I’ve been drawing has been good to me! I FINALLY managed to draw this one to my liking, after like 4 drafts!! Here’s Wander from Shadow of the Colossus:

he was SOO hard to draw! Especially because I didn’t know how accurate the references I was looking at were, so I had to compare a bunch of references to make sure! Even looking at the game guide didn’t help! …Wander is always so small! XD

Also, this:

okay, on to the next.

Amidst all the craziness, amazing scenery behind our giant 7 bedroom house

Uploading more later. Coming home tomorrow! Hope I come home in time to help Michael move! I want to see his new place so bad!!

Kai graduated yesterday! yaaaaaay~!! Seeing Piner all un-ghetto-fied was weird though. It’s like a completely different school!! The back looks pretty much the same though, but from the front it looks entirely different. So WEIRD. Didn’t miss waiting in the line to get in, or the freezing cold thatb only seems to happen during graduation. But, it was fun. Me and mitch goofed off the whole time when we probably shouldn’t have been, haha. And Kopa’s olf friend from high school that I pretty much grew up with was there too! It was awesome seeing him again! Him and  his wife are about to have a baby! w00! So crazy!! But yeah, here are some pictures!

Me and Joe eating the tea leaf lei’s behind the bleachers, lol!  It was a secret escape route that led to a locked fence, haha. Ahhh it was like te theme park game where when you don’t create the sidewalks correctly people wander off into the field znd get lost. That’s what we did. LOL. So many people followed us to nowhere hahaha.

Me and new high school graduate.

Kai and Auntie.

And I hung out with Robert and Marla and James before! Went to sweet river and watched a few episodes of Minami-ke. Hahaha. That show is so weird and cute and funny. Oh man. And today is Kai’s graduation party, haning out with robert and marla before hand, and I also work today, haha. Such a busy day!! D:

ALRIGHT! And as soon as this week ends I’ll be able to start my commissions!! I want to start them so bad!! I’m so excited about them!! Nuuuu~!! I can’t wait to just like, sit, put some music on, and draw! I haven’t drawn in soooo long!! >3<

My life feels like it’s been so fast paced recently! This down time has really been killing me! Being sick sucks! I went to outback with Le today though, yaaay~ And my cousin Kopa and I went out for Bobba tea and bagels in the morning and then played little big planet online, haha. So fun.  And Robert and Marla are coming tomorrow! And it’s Kai’s Graduation! Omgosh! I can’t even believe it! He’ll always be 13 to me, haha, even though he’s almost 8 feet taller than me…OTL. But yesssss, there are some upcoming events to look forward too. Also, on June 1st, I’ll be going wine tasting with Le’s older sisters and their friends. I bet it will be wonderful and extravagant and I’ll be spoiled for being the youngest like always. I love them so much XD. I finally have the older, beautiful, extremely stylish sisters everyone dreams of. I’m so fortunate. I just hope some day I can repay them for all they do for me!

Okay, so here are some left over photos. They didn’t transfer the first time for some reason, and I also have a bunch of corrupted files…..SO SAD!!! I don’t even know what they are! *___*;; They show up as black squares when I try to look at them….hmmmmmmmmm.

edit: Also, added Reuben Langdon’s blog to my list of blogs. Stalker much? haha….yes, I’d say that maybe I am.  -walks backwards into the shadows-

OH! And I think I might be signing up for dance classes soon. Either at the JC or a private studio. I really miss being a dancer. The strain and the excitement.  Only, I don’t think I want to get back int Hula. After taking that intro to Ballroom, fox trot, swing, and Salsa at the JC, it really opened me up to a lot more styles. I think I really love Salsa. (Though I’ve mostly been doing swing since that class. Swing is soooooo much fun and I know more people who do it who can dance with me, but salsa is sexier.) The only thing is, I want to take the class with someone. So, I’ll be trying to talk people into signing up with me soon, haha.

Yaaaay~!! Even though I woke up sick and am still sick, I managed to avoid drowning! (metal solid 2 quote, lol) Le woke up early and cleaned out the car,  then we went and practiced for 2 hours before the test. When I got there, I made two HUGE mistakes before I even started my test! lol!! I was so nervous I ran over a curb and drove with the parking brake! But when I finally actually started the test, when the instructor got there, everything started to go really smoothly. The Hawaiian guy that passed my brother was walking around and I thought for sure I was gonna get him! THEN, right when the Hawaiian guy came back from his test, this man that looked like Santa came out and came up to me! I WAS SO SCARED! D: lol!!! I thought I would for sure I’d only have a chance for passing with the Hawaiian guy, lol. But we talked about the poor condition of the roads around the DMV, how that whole area almost is part of unincorporated Santa Rosa, and when the trains will be turned back on. The test went by SOOOOO fast. When we got back, I thought for sure I had failed because we went back too early, but as soon as I pulled up to the curb my instructor said, “You’re a terrific driver”. I immediately looked over at him and said, “DOESTHATMEANIPASS??” lol! He said, “Of course!” I was SOOO excited!! I was like, “OMG, THANK YOU!!” and gave him a big hug, hahaha!!! I probably wasn’t supposed to do that XD;; but I was so happy!! I could tell he thought my excitement was funny. Later at the counter getting my temp. license, when I was telling Le what the Instructor said, the lady was like, “He said that??? Wow, that’s a lot coming from him. He never compliments anyone!” OHMYGOSH. lol! Le’s such a drill sergeant and never tells me when I’m doing well that I just assumed I was the worst driver ever!! ….Well, who woulda guessed, haha. ANYWAY YAY.

But all I can think about is how I had lunch with Reuben Langdon XD I hope I pass! ….but if I don’t….I still had lunch with Reuben Langdon, lol! I woke up this morning thinking, “What if I was dreaming and it wasn’t real!?” Haha! I’d be so sad!!! Oh man, bragged all day at work. It was good times.

Ahhh~ So many commissions to work on! I’m excited about them though. I hope I can get to them soon! As it is now, my nose is so stuffy and irritating me! ….but I’m watching Just My Luck with Lindsey Lohan because Chris Pine (James T. Kirk in Star Trek) is in it, lol. He’s definitely not as cool in this movie, but still a cutie. I should go to sleep soon.
