Weeeeeeell, I’ve been itching to get my hands on a tablet for months now and I finally got one! I love the thing, seriously. I want to make sweet love to it all night long, but I’m afraid it might get damaged in the process. Which would be bad, ’cause these fuckers are expensive. Strangely enough, a lot of people told me that my art would probably look like crap for at least a good month or so as they can be difficult to get used to. I did not have this issue. Three days after I got my tablet, I’ve churned out more artwork than I did in all July combined and with much better quality. For example, a sketch of my original character Madani came out like this:

Not too shabby for day two of working with a tablet. I tried some color with decent results, but I wanted to try more. Sooooo instead of leaving the line art so rough, I painstakingly went over it to clean it up and darken it. The piece was based off my Gaiaonline avatar, which in turn was based off DOS (green and black) ’cause I’m awesome like that. (Actually, it was my friend Tim’s idea.) That came out even better and is so far my best piece to date.

She’s a total hottie, yes? I’m absolutely in love with this piece. I’ve done another CG piece as a commission for someone on Gaia, but it didn’t come even close to the awesometasticness that is DOS Girl 2.0 and her jugtastic pose.

I’m basically just showing off my newfound skillz. I’ve got more sketches and full colored pieces at my deviant art account, which you can find here. I’m bugging my mom about this daily, so hopefully eventually I’ll be getting a paypal account and people can actually buy these damn things. For the time being, they’re simple practice/pretty to look at.

S’all I got for ya folks. c:

So… I broke up with Tyler… My boyfriend of like, nearly three years. And I’m so… lost. I barely even know why I did it anymore; all I can think about is how much I want to be with him. Hell, I would marry him.Even with the distance and the barely talking and the never seeing each other… I knew I had him and I knew he was there for me if I needed him… And now it’s like I don’t even have that…

And I probably shouldn’t be listening to Sarah McLachlan’s “I Will Remember You” and “Angel” over and over again in this situation, but I am.

My mom says we’re each other’s first real loves and we’ll probably still be friends for a long while because that’s just how we are. That and it wasn’t a bad ending, just an incredibly sad one.  I haven’t talked to him since we broke up, but he’s more on my mind than ever before now. If things had been different… If we could see each other more often… We would’ve been fine. We both know it; he said it himself. I can’t help but wish there was a way to fix this because God knows I don’t want it to end. I just can’t think of a way.

And now I feel like I’m losing my mind. Does anyone know if tylenol works for heartaches?

Yeah, I’ve been taking a hiatus from writing for a bit, hence why there’s no new Sparkly Vampire Nonsense chapters posted. I’ve been focusing on art a bit more lately, ’cause I’ve been needing the practice and such. I’ve been thinking of going to an art school, maybe taking illustration classes and such. Make this into some kind of career. Or something.

Anyway, here’s some of my recent work. c:

I am terrible at keeping track of when I’m supposed to post these chapters. I keep forgetting! I haven’t actualyl worked on it for like… A week. >_< I know, I know, that’s bad! I’m on Chapter 9 right now. Nearly done with it, just… Been bogged down with art. I’ve discovered that I can draw guys! Yay! But now that the freebie Easter event on Gaia is over, I’ve got more time to finish up my commissions and start pumping out SVN chapters again.

Uhm. Was I supposed to post one yesterday? >_<;
