I'm feeling so cranky today I'm trying to avoid contact with human beings so I won't say or do something I might regret later on. I hate it when this happens orz. There are so much things I want to do but I can't concentrate because I think I'm depressed or something. Idk but I'm not well which is unusual =w=; I hope I'm out of it soon because I can't afford to waste more time orz.
In the past three days, I've cleared some of my to do list but nothing art related. Finished the new layout for my website and I'm shocked how pretty it looks 8D lol. I still need to optimize it for Opera but it looks perfect in almost all other browsers. I also deleted more than half of my artworks online here and there, removed all old blog entries everywhere and most importantly, I feel so proud I fixed an impossible gallery script error when I know NOTHING about php and shit XDDD haha. I felt impressed with myself when I was done with the gallery lol 8D FYI, integrating ZenPhoto gallery script to your wordpress is a srz bznz for people like me who don't know their way around codes and function calling! Plus, only few can integrate it seamlessly lol hehe.
I still need to make the index page and finish the top image for it. My gallery is empty so I'll have to upload some images there too. Links section needs updating and I still haven't started working on the matching LJ layout.
Such a bad habit of wanting everything to match orzorzorzlllll

Anyways, some sketches;


Poofy hair lolool 8D I didn't notice until after I've scanned the image that his arm is very short orz. The hair looks so messy especially around the bottom but meh >_> I couldn't get it fixed any more than this.
I found out while drawing this that the papers of my sketchbook are of very bad quality. If I erase an area more than twice, the paper starts ripping little by little oAolll I think I'll have to drop by art supplies store someday OR live with that sketchbook and learn not to depend on eraser too much lol 8D


Hika chan's character Val. Instead of drawing random characters, I thought I'd draw all my friend's original characters or else, all the random boys I'll draw will end up naked because dressing them and designing outfits for them is such a pain I don't have time for it lol 8D Val looks really wonky compared to the real thing but first time sketches are always like that lol. He'll look better if I draw him again.


And Phoenix san's Silvador. It's almost finished but needs some fixing here and there, some texts, more playing with textures and a little color correction. I think I'll never release the uncropped version since it's too revealing (/3\*) and Phoenix might kill me for abusing her bishounen in such a perverted way loloolol 8D

Question
I wonder if OC owners hate it or like it when they receive fanarts ? I mean obviously, most of OC artists are always against fanarts but do they hate fanarts of their own characters as well ?
If you own an OC, do you mind seeing artworks that depict your characters without your persmission, of course when all credits are given to you clearly ? I suppose majority don't really mind it and some might feel flattered someone out there is liking their creation enough to want to draw them but say, I did something very kinky to one of your boys, would you, as the character's creator, feel bad ? offended ? O_O ?
I don't know. I have only one under-developed OC but I think I wouldn't mind if someone stripped him for a sexy pose lol.
I'm just worried my friends whose OCs I frequently draw might be hating or disliking me abusing their boys but they are too nice to tell me that ? idk >_> I guess I'm think too much =3=!

Note to self:
REPLY TO YOUR MESSAGES AND E-MAILS DAMMIT OTLlllllllll

Meme snagged from Permanentwhite;

( meme time ~ )

Whoa~ This was long .. and fun 8D
And now for some artworks because I haven't posted any in a while.
Haruna Motoki from Ookiku Furikabutte. WHY DOES HE CHANGE IN EVERY PICTURE I DRAW OTLOTLOTL ;[];!
I suck so much at drawing teenager boys orz. I need a little bit shota skills so when I combine it with my current, I'll be able to draw proper teenagers ;__;
Long time no opencanvas ;3; I really missed that program so I colored this image with it.

( More under cut ... )

Also, a small WIP between commissions and art-trades sketchings .. Something random that was meant to be for another community's catboy club but since I quit that site, I'll just keep him to myself 8D

And this is all.
I feel very good these days and I think whatever I draw turn out unexpectedly ok lol. I hope this mood lasts for a long while.
Maybe it's an effect of the good weather nowadays ? So much rain showers and beautiful cold breeze ;3;
Seeing fluffy clouds in the clear blue sky makes me super happy :DDD

I've always been wanting to share some of my favorite mp3s but I always either forget or get troubles with my internet connection. This morning I managed to upload some of my most most favorite songs, ones that I listen to on repeat and thought it'd be cool to share it with you people. I hope you'll like them. Actually, I'm sure you'll like them 8DDDD

GazettE - Guren [Auditory Impression] - 12.44 MB
Guren is one of the very very few songs by The GazettE that I actually enjoy listening to. The other two being Cassis and Defective Tragedy. I loved both the PV and the lyrics of this song and for once, the vocals are very addicting. Lovelovelove it to bits <333333

Ayur - Children of the Earth (Ness's original re-edit) [Beautiful Field] - 3.7 MB
I don't much about who sings this song or where is it from since it was e-mailed to me by a friend but it's super sweet and cute at the same time. I love the kids talking in the beginning and the piano melodies. Wonderful song. A must listen to if you like sweet music.

E.S.Posthumus - Nara (Theme to Cold Case) [Unearthed] - 5.55 MB
I remember I used to make sure I don't miss the OP theme of one of my favorite t.v. shows "Cold Case" because I loved the opening theme very much. I loved this song so much I'd skip watching the show if I had missed the op song lol. A year later while testing a site called seeqpod.com I stumbled upon this song and I found out that it's called Nara by the amazing E.S.Posthumus. I remember I listened to it on repeat for about 5 days when I first downloaded it lol.
In short, this is one amazing piece of music. You really can't miss it.

Ryan Farish - Pacific wind [From the Sky] - 9.97 MB
I've got no words for this song. It always makes me happy when I listen to it and lol, I probably will come out as crazy but when I listen to this music it reminds me that there is always good times after a hardship. Don't ask me why I think of this. I just feel so 8D
All of Ryan Farish's music makes me happy. He is one of my most favorite music composers <333

Scott Matthew - Psychedelic Soul [Stand Alone Complex O.S.T.2]
I accidentally found this song while reading it's lyrics in an image description by an artist in dA. I found the lyrics very moving and decided to give the song a try. I'm glad I did because despite the song being emo and all, it's still so nice to listen to.

Download these, listen to them till the end and let me know what you think XD
I hope someone out there likes some of these.

And because I haven't uploaded any artworks since my return, I'll upload some sketches for now.
A couple of them are old ones and some of you might have seen them on my site but the remaining are ones I drew while in Afghanistan.





And a work in progress screenshot ...



This was supposed to be a giftart for a friend for her original character's birthday on 07.07 but I got busy with finishing commissions I didn't get time to work on it ;3; Hopefully, I'll get to finish it tonight. Ahaha XD I wish I could make original characters of my own. I just suck at assigning stories and names to random guys I draw lol.

That's all for now 8D
p.s.: I love these clever ads. X3
