DOS DIAS
Hola! Hablo la idioma de espano muy poco. Tu comprendes a mi?
heh heh, my Spanish final is in two days.
Friday is the last day of this disgusting school year, and then I get a whole
month
off...
yaay.............
And then I get to go to an Art college for a month, then I stay for a week with my sister in Florida (which will probably be getting hammered by hurricanes), then I have to stay with my parents for 'vacation' (um, no. Family Vacation is when the whole family actually goess off somewhere for pleasure and relaxation, not going someplace and dumping your kids at the resort so the parents can go party. At least I'll be able to drive though) and then I will have two weeks to prepare for next school year.
Tis frappy crappy.
At least I'll be a junior. Then I'll be a senior. Then i'll get away from this disgusting suburbia and will go to a university! Yay!...
Assuming i don't flunk my finals... [sigh]

Finals are only two weeks away. That took friggin forever. Then I get to go to college for a month in Florida (he says, looking at the local radar predicting supercells tomorrow) and get away from this city! w00t!
...
I must be nuts. It's almost June and I'm listening to christmas music. And I'm buddhist.
Scanner still bust. Tis annoying. One of life's little running jokes, I guess.

So, I turn 16 in three days... whatever. I still have a ton of work to do before finals, a portfolio to finish for summer college (yes, college. I'm creeped out too), work on manga and anime styling, finish up my fanfics, have to work on my orgos (organizations. Like I really need to get to work on the peace corp application thingy... eheh, methinks it sounds like I'm boasting), not to mention training for ninjatsu and muay thai, and finish up training so I can finally get my black belt in TKD...
i think i've have been force fed too much for a sane, mortal to chew. Ugh.

Death to computers
Well, not really. just the ones that are posessed with demons, and should be exorcised. Without any holy water.
Methinks i'm going to put up an article soon (considering i have run out of all options to upload any pictures). However, I think it may be a wee bit icky/frank/whatever.
...
Then again, i doubt anyone is reading this (except for lawyers looking for possible lawsuits)(scary peoople) so I suppose it doesn't matter.

Bloody... scanner...
You have no bloody idea how much I loath computers at this moment. I do use them a lot, but when there are so many other people screwing around with it (including a porno addicted father. ick), and a scanner that has mood swings, the thing gets a wee bit annoying. I have debated whether sacrificing a spider to the little diety (cough demon cough) that controls computers, since there is still no way to upload more pictures.
Erg... Whoever said y2k was a myth was friggin wrong.

It's been a while!
sheesh, I haven't uploaded in forever. or commented, for that matter. ick.
(It might help if my computer recognized CDs so we could install the bloody scanner...)
Thankfully, my drawing style has gotten MUCHO MUCHO better since my last update. for instance, you can tell the character actually has bones. that one is kind of important.
Now, i'm just litsening to ayu (song: Greatful days, if you must know), getting over a cold, waiting for spring break (and the end of the school year)(i'm REALLY dying to get into college already. i think my brain will explode if I stay in the high school much longer), and reading some stuff on the Nigerian Communist Party...
Okay, that last one is kind of random. no, I'm not communist. I'm actually a progressive. If you read my profile thingy, it says I like to research anything. This is quite literal.
I wonder if I spelled all of that right. This keyboard does have some issues with working with me on occaision.
that made no sense. Me thinks I've had one too many cough drops.

Adding Original?...
I'm thinking about the possibility of adding my original drawings onto the site (I mean like original characters, not actual fan-art. That would be really bad if all my stuff on here wasn't mine... -_-"), but I'm not too sure...
Anyway, my hand and lower body studies are slowly beginning to get some headway in my drawings, though I still have a MAJOR mucho way to go until I get good enough to be a manga artist. -0- icky. Many nights of no sleep to come in my endless search of my manga style perfection and pocky. Break out the caffiene...

December Madness
So...
This month, I have two pictures I have to post (once my twin stops hogging the computer with photoshop on it), one Inuyasha/Christmas themed and another a picture of one of my fan fictions, around six chapters to write for that fanfiction and about four for another story, a massive art project to start and complete, an essay from my evil Literature: Novels teacher, and gift shopping for 'close' ones...
Ugh... not... good...

Subject of Art
One thing I have discovered about my creative pieces, whether they be manga, writing, or whatever else of the like, I always have a general... form... I want to have it posess. It's a strange one, and I simply call it touching base on both sides of the line of reality and fantasy. I want my work to be more than just a picture or painting someone might find in a museum. One that is so absolutly realistic that one thinks "Wow, that is amazing!", and they walk on. It's too realistic, and known immediatly to be fake. Same with things far too whimsical, making the viewer/read/whatever-er feel almost confused as to what on earth is trying to be conveyed, or even deciphering what some strange shape never intended to be made is. By putting my work on the nearest sides of that line between the two, it becomes work that make the person loose themselves, loose focus in their eyes and just stare. They don't know why, but they are entranced, placed into a world all it's own, looking through a window to a place that you think could never be real, but you wonder... could it? Is that a possibility?
That I think defines what makes some of the greatest artists how they are, and I've sadly only seen two other artists work to this. One is well known, Vincent Vangough(sp!). Another I don't know the name of, but her painting I saw in a store once, only once, I felt like I stared at it for eons, living in the world, when all that happened was a glance out of the car at a red light.
This is what I strive for. I want my art to be seen as more than what any fool could see. I want people to try to discover the secret meaning, the silent story, behind each 'scene' that is created, everything. Sometimes I think my creativity will be my undoing, sending my brain off course at random moments in classes and wondering to various realms of magnitude. I even wonder if that is against the laws of the Buddha and Kami, to be indulged in myself in art... It sounds so arrogant, even now.
But there is a difference. With us Buddhists, it is commonly said "Living things are numberless, and I vow to save them all." And that is what I want as well, to tell these stories, these meanings through my art so as to help and save as many as I can in this life. I will have another life to continue my hope to save all, for I seriously doubt I should ever attain enlightenment in this soul's shell. A possibilty, yes, but not probability.
But, I digress. I think i've gone on too large of a melodramatic thingy here. Aie. I think I shall shut up now.
