Le sigh...

So it's nearly the end of the summer holidays, I'm kinda afraid to go back to college. The work load this year is apparently similar to a tonne of bricks being slung over your shoulder and dragged up a hill. Goody!

A lot has happened during my absense of posting, on the art front aswell as the general life one... We have a new kitten called Cleo wandering around the house, good thing too because my family really do need a little cheer around here. She's a lovely beastie, Bruce and her get along like a house on fire. They play together for hours and when they're done they cuddle up together and snooze. It's really sweet!

My grans not doing so good however... The chemo therapy has taken it's toll as expected, she's weak and needs a lot of help around the house. She also took a fall a few weeks back which gave us all a scare. She was taken into the hospital today because she's started blacking out a lot and we were getting worried. I'm sure she will be fine after a few fluid drips though. I wish my parents were more hopeful though....

I'm also worried about my parents. They're getting really stressed out about this, because my gran needs help with everything. We even had to get a baby monitor put in her room so they could get to her during the night if she needs them. In saying that, my gran is also being difficult about it. She lies to the paramedics/doctors for a start, which doesn't help ANYONE. She also tends to only ask for help from my mum. To put it in perspective, she works 12 hour shifts at a time. It's putting so much pressure on her, she has to stay up late with my gran only to get up super early for work. I mean, for the past few weeks she's beem going to bed at 3 AM and getting up at 8 AM. It's insane!

So me and my brother have been doing what we can to help out. I've adopted to cooking and cleaning the kitchen up, also hoovering and cleaning various rooms, dusting and the like. I found that I love to cook! It's awesome!
Been drawing less and less however, but that can be expected. I've compiled a bunch of stuff I've done over the period, but I can't put all of it up hehe.

Lately, we've also been doing some rearanging of the house. I moved into my gran's upstairs room, she and my brother moved into downstairs rooms. It's not a perminant move for me, but it's still nice. I've never had such a big room! I also have a desk to call my own now. Still moving stuff but it's done for the most part. :)

Anyways, I better get moving! I have to clean up and cook dinner before my dad has to go out to see my gran. Hope you're all keeping well!

Toodle pip!

Animation snippets!

Been fiddling with Photoshop and flash today, here are some of the results.

For some reason it won't let me code it, so copy and paste will have to do. Sorry guys!

Still alive.

Just letting you all know I'm still around, and still doodling anway. A lot of stuffs been going on around here lately...Not of the pleasant kind either, but one must stay hopeful in these situations or so I have been told.

In any case, recently I've been getting into an anime...Rare for me considering I'm not the biggest fan of these things due to reused stories... But I have to say, Yu-Gi-Oh caught my eye, and not the English dub either. It started out with the Abridged series made my Little Kuriboh. I loved his spin on the characters, and the show really did cheer me up during this time. I'd thank him personally if I could, but that would be a bit difficult! So I started chasing down the Japanese version with subs. Particularly the season that never aired outside of Japan, or as people on the interwebs seem to call it "Season 0". Less cardgames and more mind tricks, lovely stuff! But I must say the drawings have been quite entertaining in Yu-Gi-Oh... Especially when they're trying to be serious, but that's for another time.

OHHHH, and how excited is everyone about Ice Age 3? I gotta say I'm dying to see it! I loved the previous ones, and so far the clips I've seen of the third installment have looked absolutely amazing. That and Simon Pegg is in it...Gaaah he's so funny, and the character he's playing suits the voice acting he provided so well. Gotta set aside some time to go see that, that's for sure!

Hope you're all having a nice summer, it's been pretty rainy over here but today was lovely.

Also, sorry for the huuuuge art dump and lack of updates.

A very puff'd post!

Okay, sorry about the last post ending like that. My gran was having a checkup with the hospital and such because they thought she had a lump in her stomach. I'm so glad she didn't... Infact, her organs seem to be in perfect health, so very happy am I! However, she is going back for another test as far as I am aware. Hope the virus infection is dying down.

Been watching a LOT of the Powerpuff girls lately. Me being the little obsessive weirdo I am even got carried away with the ramblings of a certain green, brain buldged chemical-x powered simian, Mojo Jojo! So much so infact that he invaded my doodle diary... Which this time, I have some scans to share with you. Hah! Proof that it actually exists! Take that Amy. I tend not to show the doodles in this book, so feel unlucky to take a little peek into what happens in my head when nothing is happening in the college classes.
I also appear to have an obsession with high lighters...Go figure.

Also, apologies in advanced for that scary Mojo face... I dunno what came over me when I drew that. I'll end this post by just stating the obvious. Craig McCracken is a genius!
