Yo! New account guyzzz!

It's been a while since I've been on here, and I am now at college studying art and writing and German. So far I've excelled at sleeping at inappropriate times and Harvest Moon. And I made a new account because it just felt right.

So, if you want, come follow me!

I will leave all art/journal entries/whatever up on this account, but this account will no longer be in active use.

I am going away! Only not really!

I have to take a break from promising dA that I'll post stuff in order to promise teachers that I'll do schoolwork.

So I'm basically gonna be EVEN MORE inactive than I already am for the next few months.

Thank you, and good night.

Only it's actually afternoon right now.

Geez! The summers almost gone. I still have so much to do before I go back to school! Argh! Most of it isn't even fun!

I haven't posted nearly as much art as I wanted this summer.  

Actually, I've only posted two things. (I'm not on dA as much anymore...it's kind of depressing.)

In other news, I got a youtube account and am planning on possibly making videos so I can get better at video editing. (I currently suck)

Maybe, if I try really hard, I can come up with more ways to overload my schedule with inane things to do! Woo yeah!

*headdesk*

I'm starting a blog! Actually not yet. In a month or two. But I'm excited about it so I'm telling you now!

I haven't had much luck in the past with blogs...I've started at least three, at different times during the past two years. I created them and then immediately forgot about them.

It'll be different this time. I've decided to channel my rants and random opinions concerning random topics of discussion somewhere other than my family. I like to talk, you see, and mostly at them, since they're the only ones I don't mind if I irritate with constant chatter.

But no more with my family being the only lucky few to get a constant earful of whatever happens to be going through my mind! This opportunity will be opened up to, yes, even you! O joyus day!

Just watch as this blows over once school starts back up. Oh well, hollow anticipation is fun, too.

Despite the massive amount of stuff I have to do ("WHAT" you say. "IT'S SUMMER" you say. Yeah. I know. ) I have been able to enjoy a fairly light day today, filled with yoga, bread, drums, and facial expressions.

I am nine thousand and one percent positive that this doesn't just happen to me, but when I draw faces, I tend to make the expression that I am drawing. I never notice, until my mother walks into the room and tells me that one day my face is going to freeze that way.

Thank you for the heads-up, mom.

Anyway, after making sure the door to my room was shut firmly, I proceeded to draw the most intense, ridiculous expressions that I could muster at three in the afternoon. After flipping through my sketchbook at the end of this three hour adventure on paper, I have come to these conclusions:

When Shada is supposed to look very angry, he looks very constipated.

When Shada is supposed to look very arrogant, he looks very stoned.

When Shada is supposed to look very happy, he looks very crazed. (I don't know if you've ever seen a four year old ten minutes after they've gotten into the sugarcube supply, but I'm sure you get the picture.)

Hm. Maybe I shouldn't go to extremes with that man.
     

I have a different problem with Khepera. The fact that she doesn't have pupils restricts the amount of emotion I can convey through her eyes. Basically, she has two expressions: Blank and Very Blank. Oh, and also There's Sand Blowing In My Face Squinty Eyes.

Clearly, some work needs to be done. But the good kind of work. The fun kind. Not the stupid kind. I don't much care for the stupid kind.



Stay classy folks.
