Okay, okay..

So it's been almost a week since my last entry, and I admit I've been slacking. I really try not to. I've managed to open the 'Create Post' page once or twice the past couple of days.

But enough of that. I'm only really posting now because mom caught me on MSN, and we're chatting right now. Apparently she won't be coming home at the original date because of some technicalities. Now I understand in movies where kids make those over-dramatized faces when their father goes back on his word about being allowed a day off from work to hang out with them.

I didn't think it was possible for me to feel this disappointed. I mean, sure, I've been disappointed plenty of times in the past. But it's currently late at night and my mind tends to wander and over-think these things. To be honest, I'm more upset than disappointed. This just means more time we have to wait to see our mother again. We've never been a whole month+ apart before, even though I'm technically an adult already.

Anyway, I'll get over it. I made myself coffee a minute ago to drown out my sorrows (lol). Here's a short art spam because I couldn't possibly remember all the other things I planned to talk about in the past week:

Alouette

Been up all night once again, despite having later appointments to attend to.. *sigh*

Anyway, I just wanted to update for the sake of updating, since I haven't gotten around to doing it in almost a week. I don't have a lot of artwork to post, since I only got back home on Sunday evening and I've been spending the last couple of days catching up with things (reading fanfics). I do have a couple of sketches I can share though:

My new-ish OC, Alouette (Alou for genderbend)! New-ish, because I designed her a couple of weeks back, but I only managed to name her earlier today. Notice that I've once again created a pink and green themed OC? I swear, I'm not doing this on purpose. I just draw these babies out, and suddenly they're colored that way. FML.

But at least it's a female OC for once. When was the last time I created one of those, eh?

I wanted to post some appreciation photos of the package I got the other day, as well as some others I got during my two weeks at dad's. Instead I'll just post the link to my tumblr (last package only), which I've finally decide to start using again (albeit lamely): Follow Me ♥

Now that I've successfully typed up a decent length of entry, I'm gonna catch a nap before grandma comes over later to get me to pay some more bills =u=);; -I'll try update some more during the week!

Art Dump 2

I hate that I have a burst of inspiration while I don't have my own computer around. Here's what I drew using my dad's computer (I bet they'll look so weird back on my monitor):

Quickie

Nothing gross. Just a quick entry. I'm at mom's right now, but I need to walk home to dad's soon before it gets dark out. If not, grandma, dad, and anyone else will hound me about responsibility and being careful about walking home at night. As if I haven't walked home at night before?

WIP of something I was sketching while sitting here and catching up with things. This is my idea/version of Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw from Harry Potter.

I'll try update again during the week if I can. Later!

Sweat makes you GAY!

So yesterday evening, my brothers, our friend, and I were just chillin' in the living room at dad's place. Suddenly, a conversation that went something like this took place:

D: Ugh, I'm all sweaty down my back! *takes off jacket*
J: Doesn't sweat make you feel.. gay?
Me: What? Sweat? Gay?
J: Yeah.
D: Ugh, I'm so sweaty that I have the sudden urge to touch men!

I don't remember it word for word, but that was the gist of it. I couldn't look my brothers in the eye afterward, I was laughing too hard! xD

Just a quick update. I'm at home right now for my daily visit/check on the house. We were having some trouble with the keys yesterday, so when I arrived today and found the door as good as locked, I was so relieved. -It's also garbage day today, so I had to make sure our bin was full before the truck drove by.

Sorry for the short entry. I don't have enough time to draw something with my tablet, so have an old shota Harry sketch I'm pretty sure I have yet to post anywhere:

Heavy Eyes

Uuurrghhhhaa! That's the sound I make when I haven't had any sleep and persist on staying up longer because of later appointments. My grandma is coming over at 2PM to take me to pay bills (wtf), and at 4:20PM I need to take Chari to the vet to get her stitches out. After that we're going to dad's, so.. Yay! Big day!

You're probably thinking: "Man, this bonerfag is such a loser for staying up all night when they obviously had something planned for the next day." And my response to that will be: "Yeah.. Yeah, I know."

Actually, my main reason for staying up is because I was watching Junjou Romantica season 2, after having re-watched season 1 the day before. Another reason would be my cats taking over my bed.. B-but I'll stick to the watching yaoi story. Because it's just a little less pitiful than losing my bed to some cats! Ahaha~!;; 

It's already almost afternoon here, so I don't want to risk catching a quick nap. I should really start packing the things I'll be taking over to dad's place, as well as the cats. (Those cute little bastards!)

MOTIVATION, COME BACK--! #2

Holy fuckity fucking fuck. I can't believe this. I've had SAI open all day in anticipation for epic drawing time, but I've hardly drawn a thing! The same could be said for last night as well (even though I was tired). I just end up drawing circles and eyes, hoping it'll turn into something.

I did end up drawing a thing or two. But when compared to the wasted hours of empty canvas, it isn't really worth it. I don't feel proud of myself at all for finally breaking through the block =A=;

[Drew Bulma earlier in the day (I ♥ Bulma). I thought drawing a woman would help me overcome the block. Unfortunately, after I finished it, I lost it again.


Fuuu-- I need to work on my girls, too. I don't think I give them enough curves.. And their faces are too baby-ish. HOW DOES ONE DRAW MATURE WOMENZ?]

[Something I'm relatively proud of, but disappointed with at the same time because: a) I drew it too small small, b) I didn't put effort into coloring, and c) I only finished in half an hour ago, so I drew this just before tiredness was setting in and I'd be done drawing.

But it's still AtoHiyo and I don't draw them enough as it is. I've certainly never drawn poses like these, so I'll let it slide ♥]

Work With Dad

Yesterday I went out of my way to go visit my dad whom I haven't seen in a while. And by visit, I mean I went to work with him at a tattoo parlor!

It was good to see him again, and I had fun even if I mostly just sat around on the waiting chairs for most of it, knitting and drawing. Dad started work at around 10AM, and we didn't get home until around 6PM, so A LOT of knitting was involved.

I didn't take any photos of the actual tattoo room itself, or of any customers getting them done. But I did take some photos of the front room, where they have the front desk, waiting chairs, as well as a TV where I watched 'The Fairies':

My dad (bottom right) painted almost everything in the shop. He'd been working on it for months with a partner, who I think actually backed out partway (what a chump). It looks amazing and surreal from both the inside and out.

While it was boring just sitting around for 8 hours, I did have a little fun, and might be willing to do it again if it meant hanging out with dad ♥

@nie: I hope it gets fixed soon bro. Our chats are so delayed lately ;3; -And YES. Update your blog forever ♥

Coffee At Midnight

I'm beginning to wonder how often I've mentioned coffee, and midnight, on my blog. It's definitely a topic I bring up on my private twitter quite often, mostly to complain about how much coffee doesn't have any energizing effects. Maybe I need to make some kind of coffee schedule, since I've never actually had coffee consistently. Sometimes I have it every day in the morning for a week, but then the next week I'll only have it two days and at midnight. I only really have it when I can be bothered to get up and make it xD
