New quarter!

Yes my friends Spring Break is over and now my Ninja Gaiden/Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles/Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance/website work has been replaced by CIS 670 (introduction to database systems), CIS 675 (introduction to computer architecture), CIS 731 (introduction to knowledge-based systems), EE 320 (more circuitry), EE 309 (3-hour lab), and Japanese 101! Wee! Oh, don't think that the fact that the course descriptions have "introduction" in them means they're easy classes. They're mean and they're hard and they're a lot of work. Japanese is the one class I'm looking forward to, but it's "individualized instruction" which means I'm basically gonna be learning it on my own. No problem! I am a language master! I already know words like ninja, katana, karate, and samurai. So this is going to be a total joke.

   Woohoo spring break is awesome!

It's been seven days without class so far, and things couldn't be better. My website overhaul is coming along nicely (sciros.net, not myOtaku), and I'm getting some quality drawing time. Today a friend came over and we played DDR for a few hours. It's the first time I've really played, and it takes some getting used to. He's one of the best in the state, though, and was pretty impressive to watch, punishing those "ten-footers."

   Love and Peace!

To celebrate my dropping to 73% as a rated artist, I submitted my sans-background Vash pic! It should be up soon! I am also going to work on a few other drawings to submit, hopefully at least temporarily boosting my rating. ...Though not if my next pics have the same pattern as my last few... Anyway, finals are upon me, and I am afraid. I wish I was like Ryu Hayabusa, fearlessly confronting all sorts of gigantic monstrosities and giving them all a good whipping. He is so badass. I bet he could even ace my finals. I have Electrical Engineering on Tuesday night, and Comp. Sci. finals on Wednesday morning (2 in a row). It's gonna get ugly, folks.

   SORRY GUYS!

Yeah finals are upon me, so again I am super busy. Also I have been super busy with Ninja Gaiden (xbox). Anyway my Vash pic... yeah it sounds like a joke, but it's still coming along. I'm almost done... I swear. Once I finish there'll be an influx of pencil/ink stuff from me.

This just in: Sciros can't spell "update"

Ugh. I just noticed the heading for my previous post and it scares me. I must have been really tired. Just like I am now. Sorry for NO ACTION AT ALL from me lately. This quarter is keeping me really busy. But don't worry, I am still working on Vash, and some other cool original works. LOTS of cool original works. They're all pencilled for now.

   Updatte...

Well, doom week is over, though I've yet to find out two of my grades from it. So far, a 90% in Elec. Engineering and a 100% in Linear Algebra, so wooohooo! Of course, my Comp. Sci. grade might totally suck, as that midterm was 6 essay questions about theoretical programming stuff, such as how changing a program to be more object-oriented improves type safety (yeah, it sounds like total nonsense unless you really know what that question is talking about, making it hard to bullshit). Anyway, my Vash the Stampede pic is nowhere near complete. I worked on it a bit this weekend, and now it's LESS done than it was before because I decided that some of it looked bad. So yeah, I'm sorry. Also, I've decided to overhaul my personal website (sciros.net) yet again, because I'm too lazy to update the overly expansive one I have right now. Don't expect that to happen any time soon, though, cause midterms still aren't over (damn CIS 660 (operating systems = a total bitch)).

   hey guys

Hey sorry I haven't been up to much lately. But I won't be up to much for a while yet. This week is a killer. 3 midterms, 1 term paper, several annoying assignments. I have my hands full at the moment. And I'm revising Vash the Stampede. I haven't even started on a background for him yet. Ehhhhh. Oh well. It'll be my best work yet though, I promise.

   Hey!

Ok now I'm totally at 74%. This sucks. I miss the days when I was a steady 86% and at the top of the Top 10 Artists. Oh well. I AM improving as an artist, and that's what's important.

   blllaaarggg

Yesterday and today were quite bad. I got a severe case of food poisoning, and was pretty miserable for about 30 hours. I had a fever of 38.7 or thereabouts, and was barfing every half hour or so. So I got very little sleep, and had to do all my schoolwork today rather than yesterday+today, so I was not happy. It's a good thing I have no classes on Tuesdays, otherwise today would have really been hellish. Oh well, I'm better now. Anyway I figured I should post any updates related to my health, cause of course it makes for interesting reading....

Here's a sneak peek!

I've been working on this so long I figured I should give you guys a "teaser." Let me know what you think. Once I add all the shiny buttons and polish Vash up a bit I'm gonna add a background. I'm thinking of putting him inside a spaceship, but that's gonna add another week or so of work.
