Hey people!
*dodges shoes and stones that are thrown at him*
Eh... Yeah, I'm still alive.
As of today this year is almost over for me, I mean...schoolwise.
Holidays started yesterday but as always we got assignments.
This time was a blast though. not exactly for me, but for some folks at class.
See, not long ago, we were given an assignment to take a picture of our lil town here (Schwerin) and modify that picture so it's 200 years in the future.
Simple task really, 3 parts. photograph, pencil sketch, digital touchup / coloring / shading. Yeah well some people at my class, they simply don't care about such assignments and start working on em on like the second last day. It's not a big surprise their grades are usually not phenomenal. But some people even went and used rulers for that assignment, or worse, traced the photograph. So those had their grade put down to 5 of 15 possible. Those folks ( 2/3 of my class!!)
are given the chance to improve their grade by doing 2 other assignments. Good thing I don't have to worry about that. Don't get me wrong, I suck horribly at perspective and landscapes, and still I managed to get 13 of 15 in comparison. *sigh*

"WHAT?! THAT'S 13 OF 15?! Looks more like 6 to me o_o;;;"

Is what I believe people to think because quite frankly, I find it overrated a lot myself. But I won't go and tell the teacher to lower my grade. <,<


Anyway, that's just one of the assignments. Other than that there's a characterbooklet we need to finish.
So it's the usual suspects. Turnaround, Poses, Facial expressions, a modelling sheet and some about the personality backgroundstory of the character.

I will upload some of that soon..it's all pencil and paper, though..so I'll need to get my dusty old scanner out and ready...The character is that...forest/wood warrior I had uploaded sketches of before.

And the third assignment is a script. Complete with storyboard, at very least 16 shots. So there's camera angles and movements, technical terms all over, dialogues..all that fine stuff.

lotsa work? Yep...

So that's it for our 2 weeks of christmas holidays.

Tomorrow I will be driving home with my sister and her baby (1 year old, yay) 5 hours by car (make that 7...)

Today I've been working on my commissions (at this point another BIG THANKS to my patient commissioners!)
and I guess I'm making progress again( I know, I always say that...)

Anyway at the moment I am in a complete Pixar Spree.
After having seen Wall-E, I was totally captivated.
This movie really touched my heart.
I didn't hesitate to buy the Blu-Ray special edition, the soundtrack and the artbook...and that's the first time I went and bought stuff RIGHT away.
Absolutely worth ever cent. I think I'm gonna watch it again tonight...^^

However there is something that kinda made me frown. It's certainly not true, but...the thought alone makes me cringe.
...it's horrible to destroy the innocense of this movie...

Supposedly, this is the actual ending Pixar had for Wall-E, and Disney made them change it.
I can't possibly believe anyone at pixar OR disney would ever dare write something like that. That's like Bambi finding the rotting corpse of his mother.

What do you think about that? I'm interested to hear your thoughts, please >:

Alright...back to work, I guess.
Thanks a lot for reading! ~<3

Oh, I ALMOST FORGOT!

Everyone who has commissioned me - for your long wait and patience you've had with me, I offer all of you a free sketch. Sounds good?

ALSO COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED. I don't wanna make people wait even longer..they've been patient enough with me as it is...
However if you don't mind waiting a REALLY long time, I will gladly put you on queue....

SLOTS, UGH~

1: Love Overdose (pretty much done)
2: iisaw (almost done)
3: Mr. Fuccello (...sadly, can't be finished before christmas...I'm sorry!)
4: Kora (fA)
5: TiltedHaloPs44

on hold?
6: Megido (fA)
7: Makaze (fA)
8: Travarisrhade (fA)

Well, here I am - and I bring naught but excuses. >:
I find myself even deeper in school assigments than before.
It's not I haven't been doing anything...but I didn't make any progress with the commissions. I'm sorry. Right now I should be working on 's... I'm sorry that I'm still not finished ._.
I would be happy if everyone who has "commissioned" me would give me feedback whether I'm taking too long or whether it's okay, I mean..I'm not taking money for nothing. If I didn't start working on yours, I won't ask you to send me money either. Thing is, Iisaw already sent me money so I would like to know whether I should be working faster because..I feel bad about making you guys wait for so long Until November 28th I have 4 deadlines which pretty much suck up 75% of my sparetime. I might be able to work on commissions on weekends but mostly I have to draw for school and when I get home I am rather exhausted D:
So please if you read this, let me know if it's okay with you.
If you don't answer I will contact you personally, I guess...
Thank you for your patience.
I hope you don't regret having commissioned me ;__;

Yet another update.
So why's there nothing new uploaded yet? D:
Technically I could upload the first finished commission, but there's still little things I'd like to add and correct before uploading. but they are more or less done. I've already begun working on the second for Iisaw.
School is still busy as far away deadlines slowly crawl in on me...
Anyway, there's yet another one in queue.
That's all the news I got, I guess. Sorry things aren't working quite as well as I had hoped, so this journal so far tells little about me actually and more about the progress of commissions and making excuses like school keeps me busy. which it sometimes really doesn't. But when I'm all blah after 10-12 hours at school it doesn't seem wise to me to work on those commissions with the 10% concentration I have left.
Anyway, enough words.
Thanks again for your patience, thanks for watching, and peace. <3
