Wow, it's already been practically a whole year since I last updated this thing. Hi guys! Here - has a Dante journal skin since I left.

Sorry I haven't been around. Been so busy with school and stuff - didn't even bother to really renew my membership which is ending in a week. Ah well.

Anyway, hi guys. I've been really busy with school and such. (So sorry if I haven't been posting to dA or paying much attention to my Oekaki Boards.) Roleplaying here and there. I have successfully completed my first two years of my art school and I have another year to go! Woo! Been doing a lot of 3D modeling and now I'm actually apart of two teams (which are set up as two different classes) that're creating games. I am assistant producer in one, and I was Lead Game Designer in another - until I stepped down after we didn't seem to need that many game designers. We're supposed to have a good alpha of both games by next quarter - so wish us luck.

I've been tinkering a lot with different programs such as Z-brush, Maya, and even 3DSMax lately and I'm getting proud of my work - though I am far from the best. I need to start working on my portfolio more and figuring out what I want to focus on in the game industry. I want to focus on Game Design or either Technical Art of some sort. I'm not the best artist, but I know a bit of how to handle gameplay and I know how to work the technical parts of programs. I guess we'll see what I'm best at this last year.

I also really need to put together a portfolio and a proper website. I have a bit of a resume going and a bit of a Wordpress blog (which I won't reveal), but I need to set this up on my own website. Which I can do over the break.

Speaking of blogs, I also started a YouTube for tutorials - if people need help drawing!

Check out my YouTube here!: [link]

I also have a matching Blogspot that I plan on posting more of my artwork on - more non-watermarked stuff - as well as tutorials - so subscribe if you'd like! ---> [link]

On that note - I also have some comic drawings up on my Blogspot because I'm starting to really get into comic books. (I blame my RP buddies that I just met - which I have added on here. ) God, I am so obsessed with DC Comics at the moment - especially Batman and Green Lantern. I need to get more into Marvel but I'm finding it harder to get into those comics. I do what I can from Google and Wiki researching.

I'm also getting really into Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I'm determined to beat a lot of the guys at my school. And what can I say, Phoenix Wright is a BEAST in Turnabout Mode.

I still need to pick up Skyrim too - but after I set up my new gaming computer. My family and I started setting that up last night actually. I'm excited - not because I can play games on it, but now because I can do my homework without screaming as much obscenities at my computer.

That's a general update on what's been going on recently and within the past year, I suppose. I'm still with *Geminas0wng, my love. Which is great. <3 We had our one year anniversary in October. Uh.. I also have a Scarecrow costume from the Batman Begins movie that I made - which I used a lot this year. And a Dante from Devil May Cry 3 costume.

... OH! And, I actually got my first commission set up last night. It's so exciting - I've never actually had someone flat out PAY ME to draw them something. I am so nervous too because they are a good friend of mine and they are willing to pay me way more than I ever expected - so I plan on making it perfect for them. I'm going to send them the whole PSD file, the image file, everything. I'd even send the actual picture if I could. We'll see how this goes. I'll post up in-progress images and the finished product (with a watermark on dA) when I'm done - that way you guys can see a preview of my commissions.

If you ever want a commission too - don't be afraid to send a note my way! I accept both point donations for commissions (so I can get my boyfriend more of a subscription) as well as actual payment. Just note me for more information.

I'll be posting up a few new drawings I've done lately - along with some of my 3D modeling work. Other than that though, don't know what else to really say.

Don't be a stranger! Leave me comments, check out my YouTube, check out my blogspot, send me a note, etc.

Uh, that's it I guess.

See you guys around! Love ya all!
