this happened long time ago but i dont want this to happen or lose subs for not being friendly... TT^TT im just super busy....... x_x"

i feel like im being less active in theOtaku... same with deviantart.. same with everywhere else.. in fact, i only have these 2 now.. my mangabullet, fanart-central, crunchyroll and other sites i go to have been frozen in my bookmarks bar... i mean there's only 3 tabs i open.. other than these 2 online galleries, the awesome emails and my invisible chat messenger.... =P

anyways..... i'll get back to u guys on saturday.... i still need to finish room illustrations for the nightmare game project.. working title is "Nightmare" and it is definitely a nightmare.......... >v<!

creepy hands..... i remember i thought it was cute coz it's like a petit monkey but close up pics makes it look so scary.. XD

i think i can post some of my monster concepts online after we're done with the models.. it'd be an awesome addition for my portfolio too... some previews will be up on my game project world one of these days.....

ps... this window has been sitting in my screen for 2 days now... XD i keep forgetting to post... but anyways..... this song is still singing in my head.... @_@"

Dear Secret Santa.... my wish is..

to get a great long break from school work and other projects......... XD jk.. nobody can grant that for me anyways.. =/

for my secret santa,
i would love to have a pic of urself as an anime character together with my 2 oc rei and rei.. u can include as many ocs u want as long as they are wearing the same uniform as my ocs.. draw them in any scene or just posing.. any way u want as long as everyone in the picture is wearing the uniform..

my oc rei+rei and uniform refs:

External Image External Image

colored or not, up to u.. my ocs arent very colorful anyways.. both have black hair.. rei girl has brown eyes while rei guy has grey eyes with a trademark blue earring.. both are pale and tall.. guy is 5'8, girl is 5'7..

if this is too much to ask, feel free to choose this other option..

option 2: if you're a girl, draw your oc-self with my oc rei guy.. if you're a guy, draw your oc-self with my oc rei girl..

the only condition i ask is to draw them in their winter uniform.. which is the uniform in the refs from the above pics.. *^^*

that's it for my secret santa... pm me for any questions or just simply comment and i'll try to answer asap.. :>

i was gonna make this idea as a contest and have ur characters appear in my manga but since it's on hiatus, this contest idea is also on hiatus.. XD

feel free to do this even if ur not my secret santa... that'd be sooo awesome if u draw urself together with my split-selves.. lol..

the secret santa project is sponsored by UnknownRumors..

so true...... XD

dotcon + dtac + anime north..

anime conventions.... got really exhausted from dotcon..... like up til now i cant say im okay.... well of course, including the stress from school and work.... x_x"

anyways.. pics from dotcon.. i didnt have much.. i was stuck in my table and i was really tired most of the time too so i preferred to stay there and do nothing for once.... XD


me, snowp and falsedelusion on the second day..

really shame that i dont have a pic of myself cosplaying hinata or a pic of falsedelusion in her cosplay or a pic of us together posing with this awesome idea i had on the second day... gah... v_v" so tired...

more pics --> here <--

luzmelt concert was awesome.......... they sounded like their mp3s but the difference was pretty much obvious sometimes.. XD but it was cool that he can sing on the same vibe.. some screams are cut short though not that i mind.. XD concert was loud and upbeat and yet falsedelusion fell asleep..! >v<;

i also got them to sign my bookmark.. wooot..~~~

External Image

anyways... overall, this first anime convention as an artist was somehow worth it for me.. except that i spent so much and yet i didnt earn half of it.. just about 40% or so.. next time i'll have a better table coz other stuff werent properly displayed.. i didnt expect much from 300 people that came.. they say 400-500 people were their estimate but it seems it was less than 300.. >x< nevertheless.. it's a so-so experience for me and thanks to falsedelusion and snowp for their time with me... *hugs hugs* <3

---

dtac... so there will be a december toronto anime convention aka dtac this year.. nov.12 sunday from 11-5pm.. just one day and some say many people will come.. more than dotcon.... lol... if i get someone to come with me, i'll go.... but maybe just a regular cosplayer or artist if i find details on how to get a table.... XD

anime north.... i've been thinking.... i might be able to go... our school ends on march 31 and we'll be graduating on march too but our ceremony will be on june..... like whattttttt..... that just ruined my plan......... >_> i wanted to grad on march and leave toronto for months... spend some time with cousins in new jersey who's going to my so-called grad on march and then we visit cebu and manila while i attend my elementary and high school reunions.. go back to winnipeg and spend 2 months being lazy with personal artworks and no work for someone else as in 0 commission, 0 character designs for some games or whatever.. nothing.. just spend some time with my manga and personal illustrations..... but now thats paaah........... i will have 2 months though if i decide to stay in toronto to wait for my grad ceremony on june but gaaah.. that wont be a "break" coz i know i have to work.... sigh... i'll see what happens.... so this anime north thing is still undecided but there is a chance..

---

anyways... sorry if im missing some updates or being lazy to reply or comment or whatnot.... sometimes i just want to read comments and that alone helps me relieve stress.. yesterday i was told i look tired.... omg..... i try so hard not to make people think i am tired.. TT^TT but when he told me i "look tired" gaaaaaah..... i blew off my bangs and ran to the washroom..... v_v"

hate blogs.. so long..... XD took me days to fill this up so i appreciate whoever's with me on this one..

artworks.. nothing new... might post some but they're not new....
it feels like im gonna be away from here for a while... XD talk to u guys later..~

cargo: this song has been singing in my head for days now thanks to snowp singing it with me on that night.. XD

and actually.. i love this song... plus lunartail and sink.. sacrifice too.. <3

watching yu yu hakusho..

..while working on some 3d stuff and photoshopping...... v_v"

downloading torrent from this site --> complete episodes in english dubs.. OTL

If you watch movies while working: make sure you have seen them already! Watch an old favorite that you won't pay as much attention to, don't risk getting sucked into a cinematic adventure rather than getting to work!

a comment/advice from this post:

The Legendary All Nighter by justincurrie

Hey guys, thought I would post some useful tips

as an illustrator or designer- it's almost a given that your a bit of a procrastinator, and thus, familiar with the last minute panic projects. So before too long in your career, your likely to run into an all nighter situation.

Everyone works differently- I personally like to have my headphones blaring, or if im in the gruntwork stage of a piece (blocking in colours, type setting etc) I enjoy having a season of a show or a movie playing in the corner of my screen.

Avoid caffeine, if possible *i cant live without coffee.. im sorry.. XD* Drink two brimming glasses of ice cold water every 30 minutes. Not only will the cold keep you awake, but you'll need to urinate very often. It's difficult to sleep on the toilet.

• Work with windows open: cold air will keep you awake. *unfortunately, this point might not work in winter* XD Warm air knocks you out. If you find the cold air is effective in keeping you awake, you can even go to the bathroom and wash your face with cold water. Only wash your face if you are getting tired, you don't want to waste studying time.

• Set your computer screen to a lower setting, (duller and darker) so as not to strain your eyes.

• Turn off instant messengers, your cellphone

• Remember: if you are tired and are completely slumping over your work, sit up straight. It could immediately make you feel more awake. Yes, it sounds stupid, but try it.

• Eat protein-rich foods like sandwiches, cheese, and other dairy products. Sugary foods may make you feel awake for a little while, but can eventually make you feel drowsy. Apples or apple juice also help, especially if you eat cheese with it. Apples keep your blood sugar stable so you're able to stay awake longer, some say they're better than caffeine!

• Think positively. Thoughts such as: "I am almost done," "This is actually not too bad," "I will get to see the sunrise"

• Tap your feet! It may seem weird, but it helps for some people to consistently tap their feet. If it
Chew gum. Like tapping your feet, it keeps you awake without being distracting!

• Squeeze and Massage your Ears There are acupoints on your ears, and when stimulated, send electrical signals into your brain.

• Don't eat granola, milk or lemons. These are all foods that will make you tired and sleepy.

also! share an all nighter story!! Best of luck on your next one
cheers
