Turned 25... Did that just happen?



Attention ladies and gentlemen. On the 25th of this month, the fifth of the year, I, the pathetic excuse of a human being turned 25. Write a code about THAT, Mr Da Vinci!

Oh woe and suffering! How much has gone on the past year? So much pain and sorrow (Okay, it really doesn't compare with other people's... but it's still pain and sorrow)! What will the future bring? I think that everything I've been complaining about won't even compare to what's about to hit. I'm confident that as time goes by it's just going to get worse and worse. Hence we have pic 1. Can you believe that at one time people called me an optimist?

Asides from the depression, why haven't I been posting? Well, to be honest I lost all semblance of skill in my recent works. Line after line of ugly, ugly things. Terrible. Life was also catching up. It was commented on many an occasion that I should stop pandering to these whimsical pieces and focus more on reality, and I agreed. I wasn't going anywhere and there were many things that were being neglected!

Then, inspiration struck. Behold, Pic 2! VOILA (okay... there's some mistakes here and there... proportion and messiness...)! I bet that if I told you guys that this girl is single, you'd come storming down my front door and pistol-whipping me for her location. That aside, what do you think? Nice?

Experiments in Gothic Lolita



It's been such a long time, I thought I'd try to put up a little update. Things have been busy of late, and I guess I've left a big gap since my last post. Well, it's much too late to elaborate. Safe to say that life just keeps going on and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I will say that I have been caught up by the artwork of this French artist: http://petitcarreau.free.fr/main.htm. On the weekend, I was also interested in a "How to draw manga" book that presented some pretty good gothic lolita pics. I couldn't afford it, but it still got me thinking about the style (it's similar to the Powerpuff Girl doujinshi I recommended quite a while back!). Several minutes of intense staring and I thought I'd give it a try... unsuccessfully. Well... I can't get the fashion right in pic 1. In pic 2, I abandoned all fashion and tried for the small girl, big weapon thing. Didn't work. Pic 3... well... she's kinda cute but that's about it. Sigh...

Well, what did I expect for not doing anything for so long? Ah, well....
