I've been experimenting some. Going back to traditional art—planning to paint on a canvas for my mother's room. First time in awhile I've done anything like that. 
I'm so nervous, I'm sketching it out on a sheet of tracing paper! I've even decided to color it out too, just to see if the colors work out. I doubt I'll get those exact colors with acrylic paints, but it's worth doing a beta to see how it could end up, I guess. ¯\(°_o)/¯
Hopefully I actually start putting paint on that canvas thingy...
In other news, I've also been sketching a few things on the one decent digital art program I have (that isn't fancy-pants Photoshop). I am trying to paint some clouds (based on a nice tutorial I found a long time ago and swore I would try it out) and mess around with some of the color blending modes. These things are blowing my mind! Digital drawing is pretty great~but it's so challenging! ;_; I can't seem to make up my mind on what brushes to use, the brush library is an oyster of possibilities. I spend so much time toggling the settings, I barely even get to put pen on canvas. Aggghh, I bet it's just the perfectionist in me being over the top as always. I really got to give that a break and let the messy side of me loose. =_=

Sometimes I struggle with writing.
Time flies much too fast.
Arms crossed over, leaning back.
Reluctant to even start this.
This is my only chance.
It hasn't been a day yet, but more brooding over essays I must finish. Someone's gotta do it. And this is my warmup.

Grass springs from the ground.
Roots fragment the soil below.
Everything wears a new skin.
Early morning notices the dew.
New blooms speckle the scenery.
And I need sleep.

Business keeps me at bay.
Rain reflects the brightest light.
Afternoons are enjoyed with tea.
Irrational fears will hinder you.
Nights seem surreal at times.
And that was the simple writing excercise of the day.

Hello Lovely People of Loveliness

Just wanted to say hi after a giant period of nothingness.
If you ever wondered where I was/why the nothingness, well... college. Good news, I made it through the semester without dying. Bad news... I um... may have to do something about the maths...
Uhh... Anyway! I'm in sort of a dilemma here since well... on one side, I don't have to worry about school stuff at the moment, but on another side, I have to worry about family stuff... so any plans involving modding the forums, playing vidjahgams, or making art might have to be on hold. In other words, I'd be nearly as dead as I was when I was doing school stuff. It depends.
If time and temper allows, I'll be around from time to time, but there probably won't be any spectacular works from me. Though I am sort of making some progress with my tablet.
I guess I'll catch y'all later!
