I didn't think to sunblock yesterday and now my face looks like a candy apple. (Fair skin. I bake if I sit in the sun for over 15 minutes. It's very annoying.)

Lots of gesture drawing this weekend.

Lots going on but not that much of it would be interesting to type about.

I've been busy scouting around for figure/life drawing classes. No one has gotten back to me yet, which is frustrating, but I'm trying to be patient. I need a lot of these classes and I need to start them asap. (I'm hoping I can find a place where I can go 4+ times a week. Art Fundies would allow that but I don't want to waste my valuable time doing things like pottery in between. It's a course meant for those that aren't sure what they want to pursue, so you are introduced to different branches of art. ) I also have to make sure the subjects are nudes and some schools don't offer that.

Hand and foot drawing has been frustrating the piss out of me. However, rather than doing what I used to do when it was "just a hobby",  I'm not going an easier route because it's hard. I'm purposely picking poses that are difficult so I can learn. Most of my drawings are embarrassingly bad, so not many picture posts. (My iphone pics aren't that great anyway. I need a new scanner.)

Gotta love when Blizzard sends you an email that your account is banned for botting....it's even funnier when you reply that you haven't logged into your account since before Cataclysm.

Blizzard is being no help so far. My account was obviously hacked since my main character is suddenly active on armory.

This is so going to end with me yelling at someone over the phone. I don't like in-attentive customer service reps dicking me around. (So far, I've gotten a "Too bad it's banned and will stay that way." with no explanation.)

I think my account was being primed to be sold.

New blog. I had an old art blog but I'm switching to this for art and any other interests I care to write about. I haven't come up with a title, which is why the Rhino graphic is all alone. :( It wont look so weird and bare once I figure out what to call it....

I am considering getting back into the web design thing again but first, I need to be sure that I can stick with updating something other than LJ and Facebook regularly. -__-

I was walking with my boyfriend around my town a few weeks ago (just when that nice, awesome warm weather hit...ahhhh spring how I love thee!), and just blurted out that I want a career in art. I don't know where it came from. I don't know why I picked that time to finally say it, but I did.

To elaborate, I rekindled an interest in Science about two years ago. I decided to update my education in order to enter Uni. here in Canada. Due to personal problems, this has taken a lot longer than anticipated. I still have a very large interest in nearly all branches of science, but the thought of sitting inside a classroom, memorizing various terms for a test makes my heart sink. I made the mistake of letting people know, which piles the pressure on the side of me that cares what people think. (Other side says "fuck em.")

I live close enough to go to Sheridan College . Sheridan's animation program is often refereed to as the "Harvard of Animation Schools". It's very hard to get in. I was looking into Art Fundamentals for a year, but after getting input from former students who work with A., I think I'm going to work on my own with his guidance. (Kind of stupid to waste 4k when you live with an animator.....)

I will post more on my plans and schedule to achieve this in the future.

WTF?


....*stares blankly*....


I understand why people are complaining now. Wow...just wow......

At first, I thought it was people "poo pooing" at a bittersweet ending. (I think I was thinking about Hollywood Movies, not videogames.) But, I can honestly say, I was legitimately outraged.

Was off to a late start, but we had a decent day. It was cold and damp, but we were indoors most of the time.

I realized that I need to do studies on animals I'm going to draw beforehand. It became confusing after awhile. Generally on the feet/claws.

We bought a membership for the year too!

I love Mass Effect 3 so far. The "I want fluffy bunnies and rainbows with happy endings" people's opinions irritate me. I haven't gotten to the ending btw, but Austin has been repeating some of the whining going on without any spoilers. (He's spoiled a few things for himself by reading IGN...><)

I want a story that moves me, not necessarily one that always ends on a good note.

Brain hurts....must....stop...playing...Mass....Effect. *drool*

I beat ME2 in about a week and a half. Apparently, I just needed a really kick ass video game to get the juices going.

Just started up Mass Effect 3. Man, Earth gets rocked right off the bat. 0_0
