well then as you can see my journal changed A LOT lol
for a while now i've wanted a journal with sections where i can feature work i find interesting
and a place for stamps etc etc...
i got the layout from someone on Da..their name escapes me but if you click on the "get this CSS" at the bottom of the journal you can check it out =3
i made a lot of modifications..it was going to be blue and brown...but then i saw Speed Racer and decided i wanted something more flashy lmao XD
i might change it later might not...who knows... at least i'm learning CSS little by little so that's good

and yes..Speed Racer was amazing..i don't care what people say lol..i like kids movies and i like anime..and i like flashy-ness and bright colors lol so it works. seriously tho i thought they did a really nice job on the movie overall..though there were small things that kind of bothered me still
i also saw Ironman. i wasn't too keen on the idea of seeing it before. but i'm glad i went lol it was awesome! normally i kinda hate Marvel comics...the stories and style never appealed to me much...but i guess you could say i've been more open minded about art style lately? so i don't hate it anymore...it's just not my favorite thing i'm indifferent about it ^^ cause the character designs in terms of personality from what i can see in the movies is interesting..esp for Ironman ..but yeah...i like how it seemed a little more realistic then some of the others.

on a different note
about my artwork
i havn't been doing too much lately and what i have been posting are all works in progress although hopefully i'll be able to post some of the finished products of these things lol
the other night i went through my entire gallery and get rid of the crap in it that was just cluttering things up. The things i deleted were mainly just scraps and stuff that looks terrible compared to how i draw now.
ALSO...i'm going to try and start experimenting with color and texture more so be on the lookout for that =3


uuuum...so yeah...SCHOOL's OVER if you couldn't tell already from what i've said lol...i'm so glad...i still have one individual critique on monday..but that'll be like...5 mins lol not a big deal at all
and as a result of summer starting though, i'm going to be working more ><
but oh well..i'll def. need the money anyway
speaking of money..-_-; some random person got a hold of my credit card number and has been buying shit with it from google ><!!! used up $260 so far WTF...i'm so confused and worried...i'm going to be closing that account..but it still sucks...esp since google won't help with anything...so now i'm going to have to pay that 260 even though it's not mine -_-;;; i'm just ..really worried because well...when you check your account on the phone..to check things like your recent transactions etc etc...you need to punch in your social security number....and whoever it was who is using my card number checked the account somehow...so i'm paranoid that they might have my SS number too...which means all this could possibly lead to identity theft which will be a bitch to fix so hopefully what happened was when they checked it, they couldn't get in..but because they tried it sill showed up...ughhhh...school stress ends....then more stress is suddenly shoved in my face >< *sigh*

anyway on a lighter note
i'm almost done one of my costumes for animenext08, my shigure one...then afterwards i'll be starting my Simon one which is what i'm really excited about X3!
then sometime withing like 2 weeks i'll be working on my cousin's Aya outfit too so hopefully that'll get done quickly. OH and i was talking to a couple of my friends about cosplaying as some of the characters from the sega dreamcast game Jet Set Radio (aka Jet Grind Radio) the character design is really interesting and i think it would be fun to try and make them X3 ..only problem is...idk how to roller blade XD so i'm going to work on that this summer lol...maybe i can improve enough and get it done by the time Tandokucon comes around lol..(doubt it XD lol...wishful thinking)

anyway...i think that's all i got for you haha just be on the lookout for a bunch of new drawings and stuff from me =3!
