So my cat Kenji is the cuuuuuutest kitty ever (all cat owners say that though, right?). His meows are dainty and his eyes are 2 very dark yellow/black marbles on a snowy white and light beige face. His fur is the softest fur you will ever touch, and his paws make you want to throw up a little because they are just so disjustingly cute. Not to mention is retarded L-shaped tail which makes him very unique.

But sometimes I just want to toss him out of my 11th story window and call it a night. Like last night for example... why? What reason is there to run back and forth throughout the apartment like he has rabies? Or meow really loud in the middle of the night for attention and in turn making me feel like crap in the morning for lack of real sleep. Arrgghh but then he looks at me with his cute eyes and I'm done for, I'm such a sucker. :/

Shhhh

Oops here's a small leak to a hot new game coming out in the future!!!

Hehe, only kidding. Me and 2 others are making a small production videogame .. small as in we're in the throws of school and this is a side project that sounded like it might be fun. There are 3 characters... this is mine *teehee* 'cause I just wanted to update with a sketch and the other 2 guys on this project will have theirs soon. Very soon. *o*

`

Oh yeah and I'm visiting CA again during Spring Break.

`

Back to School

Back from California... back to school daze! It's my last semester though and I'm actually pumped. Before CA I wanted to stay in school lol, but after I predict I will be ready with this last semester to prepare. The trip was amazing to say the least! I learned a lot, got a lot of advice, relaxed, drew some, gained mucho confidence in my work, and saw the possibilities in what I was kind of wanting to do. I really want to do it now haha..
`
Here are some misc drawings... so I don't feel so bad just posting words mostly. And the last thing at the end, something I wrote on the plane on my way back to VA. Just a bit of honesty ~ :)

`

Out 1/7-1/13 - Going to LA

Going there to do some fun stuff.. Meanwhile, here's some sketches and things to hopefully tide everyone over. The first is still in progress, but just wanted to show what's up with it... kind of taking a different approach, I think? Maybe not haha

`

The others are random sketches. When I didn't have people to draw I drew the things on my drafting table, starbucks, randoms.. ; ; Enjoy

`

sketchezzz

a nice break from digital

*_* gotta get back into practice with these haha..

`

Team Fortress rawwrrr

they are done, yes, enjoy

`

comments/critiques appreciated

`

edit: well, I *thought* I did well, considering the time, thought and fun I had with it, but apparently not. oh well life goes on right? just one project out of many in the future, can't win'em all. :) no more class for this semester !! The updates might be slow... or maybe I can catch up on some coffee shop drawings over the holidays. cheers ~

Medusa

Medusa from Inhumans ~ a commission

`

`

fairytale illustrations

Progress

some stuff I'm working on... first is the spy being colored, almost done I guess, and the second pt1 illustration of my fairytale for Graphic Essay class. The pt2 is... er still in the works. -_-;; Enjoy ~

`

This past weekend me and Feng (also from VCU who "claims" she forgot her blog address and so I can't show you her work muaha) went to Anime USA in DC *only* because we heard Jo Chen was going to be there. So we stalked her haha and showed her our portfolios n' stuff and chatted it up.. her sister Christina is AMAZING at art as well so that was also a treat.

`

Me and Feng were such fangirls it was dumb... but Jo ended up liking us and we talked so much, and even ended up having dinner with her and Christina. They are the nicest people, so down to earth and chill. Me and Feng definitely hope to hang out with them again!

`

so blue

sooo.... I'm taking a different approach to the final 3/4 views of the team fortress characters! Did these drawings last night real quick, they just seemed to flow out my pencil haha.. Going back to basics and seeing what I can do with painting these instead haha // sigh I know but I'm just continually experimenting. ^^ These are the first 3, medic, pyro (creature [weapon really] designed by http://tedikuma.blogspot.com/ who is in the group I'm in for this school project), spy - 3 more to come.

`

p.s. purple is pretty <3

`

the last 2... was fun, and I learned a lot, but overworked and they must rest in peace. ; ; Thank you everyone for your input in that, lol
