Some change

Rejoice People!
It is thundering outside and I more or less just finished a quick gift-art thing for the ever so lovely choke. A vector made 0,5L cola bottle. I'm still a bit unused to working with vectors, especially when it's lineless.

Any other news? Nah, not really. I was doodling some last night, or this morning (which is night for me) but nothing worth showing.

I should be gettin' it on with the ponies I have left, but I needed some rest in general. The cola bottle just snuck in between. 6 hours it took me, in two sittings.

I had a nice shower yesterday and felt pretty productive although I wasn't.

Should try to get some exercise and move my legs and arms more, the arms hurt when I lay still and the lags have begun to swell around the knees. Not nice. And even though my ass is very jiggly, without muscles, it's a PAIN to sit on. I can really tell that I used to walk a lot before, now that the muscles are gone, but still pretty usable.

The other day we took a walk downtown and home, which is about 6km walk. I was completely exhausted when I got home, it's uphill all the way home, and we had the foods with us. Energy; completely used up, but the muscles had plenty more to give, the only thing hurting the next day was my feet that aren't used to being put pressure on, let alone those extra 8kg I gained last summer.

Now I'm gonna learn how to sing "Don't talk to strangers".

Take care nao,
Aizic out.

Practice

Well, today I decided to go shoe shopping again, dragging my poor little victim with me. Of course I couldn't find any shoes I wanted (why would I? Things aren't supposed to be easy you know...) but we found some sales on expensive socks, that my company so desperately needed. And of course it was a minor snowstorm this time as well. I think I have been cursed when it comes to shopping. Now I have to put my hopes to when I'll go shop with Yonas. If not, I'll just have to wait until the after Christmas sale.

After napping some (being out in the cold cold winter is very tiresome for poor little me) I took up upon practising some realism and portrait. Can't say I'm happy with my current skill level (the girl I'm supposed to have drawn is MUCH cuter) but I guess all I can do is keep at it.

Well... off I go...
G'night.

Unicorns! :3

This is kinda how I feel today. Except I haven't started drawing yet. I hope once I do I'll feel happy tingly inspired joy! Or at least not as bored and dull as I am feeling right now. (The comic strip is made by: http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/)

And in other news; I've gotten my first real commission that's not a Guild Wars Commission for in game money. I am completely psyched about it and am gonna put down as much effort into it as I can :3 Wish me luck!

I'm considering going to buy the computer parts for the computer I am going to build tomorrow. Those they have in stock at least; seems like they have the parts I want scattered over the stores and the internet shop. We'll see what I do. I'm in a discussion with my "computer expert" about switching to other parts that they have in stock.

Now I'm off to doodle away!

New tablet!

Today I bought myself a nice little tablet. A cheap nice little thing that really worth it's price! At first I thought it might have been compromised and may is better only for light non drawing stuff, but as I used it, I just loved it! No squiggly lines! And it's so much easer to handle! I la-la-love it!!!

I also found a cheap multi printer, and I'm thinking about buying it, but I'm not sure... it's "only" 300, but I just spent 600 today, and I don't really have money...

I'll give it some more thought though.

I installed CS5 today, and MAN was that a hassle! I had to do some serious business haxxing. I enjoyed it though, and because the one helping me was really awesome it was more fun than frustrating.

G'night y'all.

Shopping

So, today I went into the store on my way home to "buy something to drink" with ice-tea in mind. I came out with a grocery bag full of healthy foods. No "noms" at all. I have plenty of that at home.

Every time I shop, especially when I go to a manned register (as opposed to the do it your self registers) I look down into my shopping basket of what kind of person it gives the impression I am. Mostly I just seem like a lonely young person who likes tuna and cheese doodles. Today my basket actually made sense! Low lactose sour milk, müsli with nuts in it, lettuce, cucumber, paprika, tuna, creme fraishe, tomatoes... Seemed like a healthy shopping list. Not much has happened by then so it kinda made my day. Silly psychological thing most of us do. I'm not the only one who likes to feel healthy. I'm trying to as well but...

And on the note of food... I really don't want to count calories! It's such a pain in the hind and it's hard to "guess" how much I eat. I usually end up eating the entire package of everything, just to be sure of how many calories I got, and it's still not a precise count. Like; today I had a microwave popcorn bag for snacks. I have no idea how many/few calories there is in that, but I'm sure I got my salt all right.

These passed few days I've put more calories into my mouth that I should have, so I can feed off of that extra little layer if things go bad eating wise.

And I hope to do some stretching too. If I get to hang out with Yonas more I get to have more fun, laugh more and some kinda exercise since we never stay in one spot! That man's never still! It's quite fun actually. I'd like to put on a step-counter and spend a day with him just to see how much he actually walks around. My feet were hurting when I came home the other day, but I blame my shoes mostly.

Well... guess that's all for now.

Bai.

A trip to the store, and some hard work!

Some mornings I wake up almost like with a "ping", and then there is no way I could possibly continue sleeping, regardless how little I have slept or how tired I am. Today was one of those "mornings" (got up at 14, which is the earliest in a long time) and I spent most of the day trying to draw the picture attached to this entry.

I have absolutely no idea about how to paint and color, without using sharp edges at least, and I generally do very poor on coloring. I used a picture someone else made on DeviantArt to help get inspired in how to create the color blends. I know it looks nothing alike eachother, not even in the coloring, but I AM a newbie in this; I usually ONLY use pencils. And now I had to use a mouse only. The one I used to help me, I know the owner had a drawing board to attach to the computer, so it is not really fair to compare. But I do anyway.

Somewhere in the middle of the day me and my neighbor Akira went downtown to the store buying me some food and a mouse pad and two black plastic mugs, the later three being on sale - lucky me - but the store I was in did not have the ink pens I wanted to buy.

After the store I spent the rest of the day drawing, and I have NEVER spent so much time on a picture before. I guess I will have to get used to it.

And last night/this morning I was talking to a very sweet japanese girl on skype. I really need to polish my japanese; I am loosing what I already know.

*takes a deep breath*

Now, as it is in the middle of the night I will apply for jobs again; jobs I have not a sigh of a chance to perform, if I got them.
