Taiga, College and other such geekery.

Ohai there,

I apologise for the long wait between blogs. I've been busy with college work and for a few days, I didn't have proper access to my computer.

So, I've passed the first year of my college course, despite the difficulties I've had at the start of the year. It's great, I can't wait to move on to the next year. I'm going to blitz it and get it all done at the start so I can have a bit more time off at the end of it.

Now I'm on holiday for a month and a bit. Maybe two. I can't keep track very well. Either way, I have plenty of time to draw now and that surprise I was on about is almost ready, I just need to get at the camera and have some decent light in the room I will be filming to get started. It will all be revealed soon.

Been playing more Katamari, I love it. Since my xbox is well and truly buggered (6 fixes later and it won't last more than a minute on it's own), I doubt that I will get to play it at home so I've given it to a friend for the time being. The game I mean, not the xbox. That's chilling in the corner.
I've been playing more Minecraft also, just waiting for some mod updates so that I can get going properly again. I might do more pixel art on my server for that, a giant Charmander would look great next to my Nyan-cat

Oh yes, the image on the top right is Taiga, from Toradora again. 5-6 layers in GIMP 2.6, the eyes were very difficult for me to do, I was working with a 1 pixel brush at one point. This is where I realised I should just set the resolution to 4000x4000 and work with a larger brush. Ah well, a lesson learnt for another image.

Almost finished.

Ohai there,

I've nearly done with the coursework and everything now, by 4pm today I won't have to go back to college for nearly 10 whole weeks!

...Except for when my friends are applying and I am showing them the way around.

In a few days, that surprise thing will be ready to go up also, I can't wait for it, because it'll be my little project.

My room is currently, not my room also. It's in the process of being painted and then wallpapered, so it may be another couple of days before I can start drawing again, so until then, I'm sharing another one of my older Toradora pictures!

This one is basically a tracing from a screenshot, with minor edits on the eyes and face shape. I'm still getting used to the graphics tablet, so tracings are still very useful to me.

And with that, I'm offski for another couple of days, Sayonara!
