bleeeehhhhhhhh...

OK~ i've been having the biggest dry spell of creativity that i can ever remember. somehow even when i start trying to draw something i just cant keep the interest to finish it off. things have been picking up pace now and the days seem to be passing quicker then before.

last saturday however, i went to another dance event (Dancekool student showcase) that the same friend as before(reese) was performing in. as was expected from him (for those who know him) he was going to perform a dance routine with a bunch of girls (him being the only guy) with the chosen style of...*drum roll*... GIRLS HIP-HOP!~ perhaps the idea of a 'guy' doing 'girls' hip hop seems a little strange but if you know him it might not seem so far off. sometime during his performance reese came to the front of the stage and performed a solo showing off his femininity to the max with the encouragement from the huge roars of approval (or laughter) from the audience. he later swore that night that he would never do girls hip hop for the next 50 years xD.

supprisingly that day went very smoothly, something that sadly doesnt happen often when i go out with friends. normally when i go out i end up waiting alone or with other friends for more friends to come and when they eventually do, we sit around for quite a while wondering what to do ( ever happen to you?)

however that day was different. my friend came to my house in the morningso i could give him some songs then we left the house for the train station. as luck would (or wouldnt) have it the train arrived just ahead of us and we could do nothing but watch it leave the station, with us knowing that the next train only came every 30 mins. but ofcourse for such a day we altered our plans and directed our feet to the nearest Subway(the food outlet, not train station =P) by the time we got back to the station with a bottle of coke and a 6 inch sub in each hand it was only a 3 minute wait till the train came. getting out at townhall station we immediatedly met up with another friend who happened to be on the same train but different carriage. after a short detour to fix some sun glasses we headed upstairs to Kino where my friends spent some time trying to find a christmas present for one of their other friends. we later met up with two more friends, bought a book, went shopping for presents, ate frkn super expensive icecream, went to chinatown for more present searching, dinner then my friends left to see a movie while i made my way to the dance event. it was about 6pm when i got to the venue with the showcase not starting untill 7. slowly looking for a place to sit i unexpectedly met up with a girl from my school so we just hung around the front entrance untill it was time to go in. i can say that it was much better to watch the showcase with someone else rather then being alone. after the showcase i met up with reese then slowly made my way home.

in a few days i have to go to adelaide for a Uni interview, then a few days after that fly to perth for a day to meet some of my mums old friends then fly off to malaysia where i will be spending christmas. on the 6th jan im flying to HK to meet my grandma and some friends then finally come back home on the 18th jan where again i will have a few months of boredom. im thinking of perhaps taking some dance lessons to kill time when i get back from overseas though.

im not sure if im going to post anything from now until i come back from my holidays but im pretty certain i will have alot to post about once i come back. hopefully my creativity will be rebooted by a trip overseas and i will be spouting out mountains of artworks once again. =]

well until i post again~ bye for now ^__^"

Starting new~

the last few weeks of my life have been pretty hectic. whether out of just the sheer boredom of what i'm doing and how the holidays dont seem to be as fun as i thought they would be or perhaps its due to the lack of creativity and inspiration running from my head.

last sunday i went to the Gold Coast. It for a university interview at griffith the following monday (today). the interview was part of the criterea needed to of course get into the Uni and im glad to say i think i aced it. ^__^" at the moment i hope that i can get into griffith uni even if i have to move to another state to do so. im not sure what it was, but sitting at the beachside meeting and chatting to randoms around was quite relaxing. i really wanted to take photos but i guess that well have to wait till next year when i get a new phone.

going back to what i said at the start though~ recently i cant seem to find the creativity to do any new anime/manga artworks and so for a while untill i feel like doing them im gonna change my style and switch back to more realistic artworks. other then that~ i also started writing song lyrics again which i had done many times before in the past.

therfore i will start to post up alot more realistic drawings instead of anime for the time being with perhaps the occasional song lyrics =]

If Only...

ok~ i was extremely bored due to my lack of creativity these past few days so i thought i would do a simple bleach fan-art. I decided to draw Renji since i have only ever half drawn him once and cuz i just felt like it. Anyway~ halfway through trying to figure out a pose that would look good i noticed i had horribly screwed the proportions and his waist was too small =O. This of course was the very strange catalyst for the art you see below. I started thinking..."how would renji look as a chic?" since he already had long hair and everything i just decide baah! wth ill just draw a chic version of renji instead =3.

If only Renji was a girl he would have the same big 'eyes' that all Bleach females tend to have =]

Momo edit again @__@"

jeez~ it seems like i just cant get my pics right the first time @_@ well here they are again this time the right hand is in proportion

Mimi Momo

I had originally planned a different pose for Mimi's mascot for her to use as a picture title header thingy (oh man.. i need to give that a name) but seeing that it was a cute pose anyway i went a long with it. This time i tried a different CG style which is slightly more realistic (i also changed her pig tails into curls =3). i think it turned out all right but seeing that it wasnt my original idea i might draw another pic for Mimi's header pic if i have the time =] i hope Mimi likes this one.

slight trouble~ which looks better?

black bandana?

brown bandana?
One more thing~ do you think any other colour scheme would suit Momo? please share your ideas as i can easily change the colour of her clothes as fast as you can count to five hundred and sixty-two ;)

Finally things happen

After so many weeks of sitting at home rotting away things have started to pick up in my life again. I guess November has been one of those so called 'lazy' months that just seemed to pass away in a blur without you realising what you did. The only things i can remember were end of school, after party of the formal and the $2 battle at dk that happened yesterday.

The $2 battle for those of you who don't know is basically an event where dancers of all styles come and battle each other to win and thus get the prize money (no it's not only $2 =]). I think the reason why it's called the $2 battle is because audience members and battlers alike both have to pay a $2 entry fee and all the the $2 collected becomes the prize money. winners (it was double battles) get 70% of the total prize money and second place got 30% i think.

I had never seen a proper dance battle in real life before and when my friend Reese told me about it i decided to tag along. Reese had entered the $2 battle and by the time i got to the venue he was already waiting outside chatting with some girls who i presume were also dancers (although they did not compete). By the time the event was about to start everyone crammed into a dance room with an open space in the middle for the battles ahead. Unfortunately an army of nerves struck my friend when he was battling and with the judges vote 2:1 against him he was eliminated from the first round. I thought that he didn't look that bad considering there were worse entrants then him but the team he went up against was also good.

after the $2 battle event had finished, we headed out to the train station to make our way home. On our way out of the venue Reese met up with another girl who was heading in the same direction. As we began walking to the station after making a short stop at KFC i finally began to 'realise' how 'man-ly' Reese was: Not very =]. To say the least he was being 'dominated' by the girl he was walking with even though she was pretty minute. we went home shortly after that parting ways at the station entrance.

Just this morning my dad, and two brothers left for holidays overseas, leaving my mum and me at home alone. it kinda sucks that since i have University interviews i have to stay back in Australia (my last interview being on the 18th Dec). I'll be going on holidays on the 21st dec until 18th Jan though which i guess is a good enough holiday. ^__^"
