Okay, so. [life update]

Remember when I said that now there are holidays and I should have more time? Well, what I didn't mention (because I think at that point I didn't know yet/hadn't decided) that I would go to uni and work on my master thesis in July (aka, now).   And what I certainly didn't know was that I would also start a small job in parallel. It's nothing huge, some other phd-student asked me whether I'd like to do some measurements instead of her, with payment, of course. I thought it would be nice to gather

11 years!

It's certainly been a while. I'm okay with that, tho. :>   though my 13-year-old self would think I am old now. Come to think of it, when I joined was when I still mostly wore bright colourful stuff instead of these days' mostly black attire xD Already had the glasses and the long hair, however.   Art-wise I do hope I've improved over the past years. Why bringing this up? Because it was due to the splendid stuff im GA that convinced me to draw regularly. Yay.   So I'm kinda glad this place i

Dressing up on Halloween

is actually a lot harder than it should be when at least a third of your everyday wardrobe consists of Halloween-worthy stuff.   Plus most of my accessoires were from the Halloween section, assembled over several years ^^ So I fear I don't look all that different today, save for the hairband with bat wings and googly eyes. :3

woot

Finally finished the last exam from the previous semester... whew. That was a lot, but at least now all I'll have to do will be exams from the current semester, so that leaves more time for working on my master thesis, which is something I might start with at some point this week? Overall I'm relieved now though, because I got another large chunk done.

Meh... sleepy days and deadlines for comics do clash... and lead to the creation of short 'Complaint comic's. Always. Today, this came to life:   Liiink - currently broken, sorry :/ [04/03/2013]   And I took my av from that one. ^^ Should you still see a green skinned/zombie person, I'd like to politely ask you to hit F5

Life update...? [+ sunflower painting]

eh idk stuff is going slow at the moment, and I really miss my summer holidays. Starting work in June sucks. ;D   On a more serious note, thought I'd update you on the Gouache. I am still struggling. So. Hard. But here's a sunflower I painted (click here for slightly larger version):     though admittedly, without references or anything. Just what I think a sunflower might look like. ^^' because I was so out of ideas... idk. I still have a hard time achieving the effects I want, because obvi

Lordi-like

Anybody knows the Finnish band LORDI?   They're my most favourite band at the moment.   My classmates gave me some very, veery odd looks when I said that their costumes look cute. Ah well, maybe they're right, and I can be really strange sometimes   Still, I think they look cute.   ... So, anyone knows them?

Ac#16

Hey, yeah, I enter the AC! As you know it's a hand-drawn entry, and if ya didn't know yet: Proof ^^ Some of you blog-readers might remember that I said something about a CGed entry - I gave up the idea because I saw what other people can do with a computer, and so... well. Here's ther first entry idea, but I didn't add text, so I'll explain - it's a machine to bring the dead back to life. ^^

You know what sometimes annoys me?

I've never been all too fond of people comparing my drawings to rage faces or other memes. It annoys me greatly, because it makes me feel like my stuff is not original at all. Sure, that's kinda the risk someone takes when abstracting heavily, because a circle will always look like a circle. Stickmen look like people. Emoticons like faces.   Still. ._.   Anyone else feeling like this? :/

short update (and a happy new year)

Yeah, so... I think I went to bad way too late today (har har). Or did not catch much sleep, anyway, I am feeling rather terrible today which is a great way to start into the new year :> Just headache-y and tired and fairly cold.   Anyway, just thought I'd wish you all a happy new year! 2007 was ten years ago.

Go Blame Kerry...

Oooookaaaaaayyy... maybe I should explain the title. ^^ A friend of mine bought a book about drawing in Gothic style. She showed to me. I was deeply impressed. Now, a few weeks later, I by the same book, and learn about a new technique - white pencil on black paper. so my mum has to buy a black sketchbook for me.   The result?   Strange pic 1   Strange pic 2   I wub white pencil+black paper! <3

assorted doodles

Figured I could actually post some art again, after all it has been quite a while since I last sat down to scan something (oh the joys of traditional art...)     Top left was drawn after watching a documentary about South Korea, where they shortly touched on an artist who creates traditional masks; super-wonky because it was drawn in the lab in between measurements. ^^' The other two are some more thoughts on the whole 'more robotic Bionicle designs'-concept.   Also been drawing the occasion

Obligatory "Wow, mathematics" - entry

I've been meaning to write this down for a while now - you see, this semester I am taking a course on acoustics. And there is a lot of mathematical stuff going on, fourier analysis and what not.   Anyway, the thing is, I am endlessly amazed how what we perceive as harmonic, as orderly, coincides with a certain mathematic description. Humans developed mathematics, so I guess it should not be that surprising, but still, that such an abstract concept (although self-supporting and self-consistent) c
