Journal 59: Love me after 12am
Why? and Why not? are the questions I find myself asking nowadays.Somehow, the answers to each sound startling similar, and I begin to worry that the stark difference between them doesn't really exist at all.
So as I am in this sort of gloomy disposition, it seems a bit unnatural that I announce what would generally be a joyous note; art update!Well, art in so far as scrap doodles count as art. But they have been accumulating, whereas I have nothing really to offer in terms of polished shiny CG.
I've been rereading Runaways, and have almost surprised myself to realize that the arc I like best is the one that should never have existed in the first place; the second one, which spans from Senor Cyborgs introduction to Arsenic's depressing end. Perhaps because it was still written by the author who gave birth to the series, and so, read more smoothly than any of the subsequent volumes, I found that the characters were infinately more likable in this segment of the series, and that they underwent the most development. Chase was the highlight of the latter half, which considering he starts off as the blond-punk-jock, is quite impressive. I think that Runaways has tied with Hourou Musuko for my favorite graphic novel/manga series, and it's ironic as they couldn't be any more different. Well they both contain angsty teenagers if you squint for the latter. Speaking of Hourou Musuko, Doi is confusing me! While his obtuse and aloof nature was intriging for like, the first 3 chapters, I'd just kill to have a more introspective look at him. The latest chapter hints at such a prize, but in the end, is still Nitorin-centric.
Anyways, for those who live in the land that celebrates graciousness with enormous amounts of food and shopping; Happy Thanksgiving.
Sadness
I should possibly have cute!art to update with within the next week. It alleviates my guilt slightly that even though my verbal presence was markedly missing these past few months, I have at least updated the visual aspects of my DA page. Huzzah! Also, Facebook graffiti app is fixing my oekaki needs. Man, I remember when I used to oekaki nearly every day? What happened to all those boards I used to frequent?? (Lol, they are pretty much shut down at this point) Also the advent of Shi Painter surprisingly didn't go over well with me, because I dunno. I liked oekaki (Paint BBS specifically) because it was so SIMPLE. 2 layers man, 2 layers. And now Shi Painter forced me to actually want to take advantage of its multi layer function and smooth pen function and uh dunno. But it sure did have shiny colors and textures.It's sad but I suck at linearting in Photoshop too, so I feel like my CG skills have not improved any. And don't get me started on backgrounds >__<
UPDATE: this little froggy is not dead like dead things are dead. Well she was at one point last week before the taking of Chemistry exams and the writing of massive term papers. But no worries, the END IS IN SIGHT. Well, I mean, not yet, 'cause the end constitutes as May 13th, but my calendar only shows one month at a time. </lame joke>
Strangely enough, I am not quite as enamored of this pleasant weather as I should be. Generally speaking, I am not a fan of summer, and spring I will tolerate so long as it remains cool enough for me to don a sweatshirt 'cause I like my cozy things, yes I do. 
Only updating 'cause it's been over a month and 'cause I finally have some art to post up. It's a cute lil pic, and I am quite proud considering I didn't use my tablet on this one! Then again, coloring with mouse is not unduly difficult especially when one makes use of Photoshop's awesome A.P. coloring tools; namely "polygon lasso tool" 
Adoration
But it's not as if I have anything to say either? My rant-esque DA journal entries have been replaced with my blog whose link I don't feel like divulging to the entire Internets. Believe me you are not missing much except verbose long winded complaints about Chemistry problem sets. (Let it be known that I actually adore Chemistry and it is strangely my favorite class this year because essays are the bane of my existence yet also a substantial portion of my grade for most other classes. And no one in their right mind could be sincerely interested in Microeconomics. *shot by microecon majors*) If you feel yourself writhing in pain to know about my mundane life just uh, note me or something for the link?? XD
Longing
