Essays.

Are kinda boring but are one of the many things one must do whether they like it or not. Luckily for me I've almost finished mine for Communications class so I should have plenty of time to work on my other projects hehe. I've got through the first part of my animation without a hitch, but the backgrounds are proving to be fairly time consuming. I'm considering using painted backgrounds instead, but the scan quality might hinder me a bit... I could do the backgrounds in my own time here at home I suppose as well as the sketch animations, bring them in to class and add the final details then. Hmmmmm, I'll ponder this over in greater details over the course of the week, see if I can get a conclusion out before Thursday.

I also have eight ideas for Digital imaging in the works, I should be able to do a photo shoot of them sometime in the near future before I can get on to painstakingly editing them over in Photoshop. At least it's progression!... I think?

Anywhoooo, on to the doodles!

I blame my itunes for this one. A bunch of dance songs came on in a row and the next thing I know... A dancing afro monkey? I draw these too often!


Been in a real Chowder mood as of lately, so I've got a few doodles of him and Panini.



I was also in a bit of an Underfist mood. But then again that's more of a case of, when am I not?

Bun bun doesn't look pleased...

Some Irken art too? I really am going backwards in my line of obsessions.

Some Ed art is a must hehe.

Some old school Secret Squirrel, boy do I miss watching that.

I'll finish off this post with this doodle. Inspired by Voltaire's Disco Dracula... Don't ask? I have no idea okay!...

Change of luck?

I'm certainly a lucky sod this month! After being told on Wednesday that I'd most likely never get into the Computer Design course I applied for, I was sure I had no alternative but to wait until this time next year.

At least that's what I thought.... However, on Friday after school as I was hanging around with a pal I got a call on my mobile. As it turned out someone had called in saying they wanted to drop out of the course, thus meaning I could take their place! Huzzah! So I'm starting up tomorrow, and let me tell you, I'm a nervous wreck! But hey, it's what I wanted right?

I'm gonna be geeking it up in that class, at least on the days we have animation. I hope I don't freeze up like I used to in the social rings. Jeez that sucks. I've also gotten a little money to spend on some new stuff that I'm in desperate need of, such as coats and shirts n'all... I also managed to order myself a new messenger bag, official 24 merchandise too. My God I'm such a geek, but I do love being one it has to be said.

But I haven't just been watching 24, oh no. Been watching KND as usual, as well as catching myself some Pepper Ann episodes. Jeez I really miss that show. I used to watch it all the time when I was small. Gwah, must draw myself some fan art for that show! But for now this will have to suit you all until next time!

Toodle pip!

Interviews.

Well I just had an interview at Stevenson college for my animation course option. As it stands I don't think I will get a spot, not because of my work but because of a faulty computer. There's supposed to be one more computer in the room but apparently the tech people aren't fixing it or whatever. So I'm probably not going to get a place which sucks because it means I have to stay at Boroughmuir.

However, I do have a reserved spot in case someone wants to drop out of the class, so if anyone does I'll be able to get in. They think I'm very young for doing it though, because a few more highers will improve my chances at art colleges... Oh well.

They said if I had applied a little earlier they would have given me a spot, but I do have other options. I can either start college in January instead and have another interview in November/December, or wait another year.

They'll give me a call later on with what's happening, but I must say it doesn't look like I'll be going this year. Sucks to be me.

Strange things.

Blogs are said to be places where you write/type your feelings am I right? I have a hard time doing this through paranoia of someone reading it so I will keep it simple. As you may be aware my moods have been very...Varied through the last few blogs, on and off down spells and such.

Well, as it was said by one of my closest friends, "Hey! Maybe you've finally fallen for someone! Love does that to people." now at the time I didn't think much of the idea and completely dismissed it. After all it doesn't suit my personality at all. But after a few days of thinking and pondering it became clear that to my horror this indeed was the case. And so, I've been sickeningly giddy and high on life for a good few weeks now. To the point of me giggling and smiling for no reason and prancing around like a moron. I feel happy but I also feel like I'm being a big idiot in regards to my actions. I feel very very silly.

I suppose I can use the description I gave to my friend! I have butterflies in my stomach yet I have a large vexed expression and deny all my feelings to anyone who even tries to ask. "I hate everyone!" Usually being the one that surfaces.

But jeez, does it feel special or what? The only ill side to it is the lack of sleep I've been getting as of lately. I'm so very very tired right now, I've fallen asleep on the chair twice! Ah well, my amigos have decided to give me a deadline from telling the guy. Deadline being the right word too.... Heh, I think my feelings will not be returned but I only really face rejection, nothing else. I'm not afraid of such things. I just hope he stays my friend.

As for the art work, a little play with the smudge tool again on sketcher created this abomination below. Please enjoy!

Phew...

Okay so I've been a very very busy person the last few weeks. So much has happened in such a short space of time it is unbelievable. I'll start in order I suppose, of how my life has somehow changed.

So I've almost finished all of my finals, one more to go and I'm completely free of what I can safely say has been my worst year ever. Then again I'm not the only one who feels this, a lot of my year do. S5 is a Hell hole. But it's now when you realise that you've only got one year to go before you split from High School and either go to College, start working as an apprentice, or go onto University.Scary stuff, but I'm sure we all know that already.

And onto the next big thing that's happened, I have resigned my place as administrator upon that art site I've waffled on about before. It came to the point that the community has changed from what I am used to, and that my job was no longer a pleasure but a chore.So I've packed up my art and moved else where, this may give me more time to update this place. It is the only thing I give attention to anymore hehe. This also doesn't mean I'm finished with being an admin in general, I have been approached elsewhere for the job. It's kinda nice to have people trust you as much as that, it really blew me away.

I have also packed up my art over at Deviant Art, I have no real reason why I have. I just feel it is time for a change.It's not like I updated much over there anyway, so I'm sure it won't matter.

It's odd because I feel more free than I have in a very long time, though it has to be said it's also overwhelming.

I haven't drawn a lot of decent art in a while either, with the finals being at my heels and all. But I have doodled up this little cute-thing that makes me want to combust from sheer terror. Please enjoy!

I've been wanting to doodle up the Delightful Children for a long time now, so hopefully my next blog will have some of them on it. Not promises though.
