I've been sort of dead on here...

I apologize so much to my followers (even though there aren't many - I love you all) for my lack of posting recently. College work and adjusting to living away from home and goodness! It's barely been a month since I've been here. It feels like it's been so much longer!
Anyway, I just wanted to talk a little bit about scarves. A few of you might know that I plan to open up a storevny store very soon. I'd really like to start selling really cool scarves & stuff on it. So dear followers, please tell me what you think of that idea? c:

The Beginning...

 She sits up high, surrounded by the sun. One million branches and she loves every one. ♥ Mom & Dad, did you search for me? I've been up here so long, I'm going crazy. Hold on till May

“A girl I used to date once told me that her parents neglected her as a child. She remembered climbing this tree in her backyard and hiding from them just to see if they would look for her, or even notice that she was gone. I always thought it was such a sad story and I wrote this song for her. It also talks about the ups and downs in the relationship we’ve had recently.”
— Vic Fuentes explaining the meaning behind ‘Hold On till May’



I'm really happy with how this came out so far. I found the acoustic version while browsing through posts on tumblr, and his explanation was in the description. I thought it was so beautiful, and couldn't believe that I didn't realize the deeper meaning behind this song despite listening to the entire album dozens and dozens of times on repeat. There is so much more that I want to do with this piece, the main thing is color it. Unfortunately, I'm so scared that I'm going to mess it up beyond recovery, since I don't have any photoshop programs on my computer. Well, I also need to ink it. That's going to take a lot of time. Probably more time than actually drawing it. The thing with ink is I have to be really careful to control the flow of it as best I can. Otherwise I'll get ink blots over the entire thing.

I HAVE A TABLE!!!!

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I would keep you guys informed about the Artist Alley table for the SacAnime Winter 2013 convention. The good news is.... I was able to reserve a table in time! (: I will be there with my friend Hailey and we will sell artwork and I also plan to sell t-shirts too! (: You can check out my deviantart and possibly add me to your watch list? I plan on uploading my drawings once I download GIMP to make it all nice and colorful! (:

SacAnime Summer 2012

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a FANTASTIC Labor Day weekend! I know I had a super amazing one! (: I went to SacAnime on Saturday with my two friends Hailey and Patrick. When we got there, there was hardly any parking so we were parked right in front of the plant waste dumpster where they drop all the dead tree limbs off at and stuff. I didn't really "cosplay", but I made my hair and makeup sort of "Visual Kei". Again, the quotations are used loosely so please don't judge me seriously on my hair and makeup. I didn't have exact "references" so I tried to mimic the basic style of it. Here's a picture of how I looked that day, taken in the car on the way to the convention. Because that's how I always take pictures. :D




Except for the last picture where I spotted a Pyramid Head cosplayer and desperately wanted to take a picture with him because I absolutely love Pyramid Head. I am a crazy Silent Hill fangirl.

Anyway so we spent most of our time at the artist alley and hanging out with another friend Sarah whom we met up with when we practically first got to the convention.We didn't really do much at this convention; we just met a lot of people and talked and made new friends and it was all happy and rainbows and unicorns and aaaahhhhhhh! Amazing! We also went around the vendor room, but, like all vendor rooms, it was super crowded & I only bought a couple things from there. I didn't take pictures of what I purchased.... sorry!

Okay well, thank you guys so much for reading this and if you plan on heading out to SacAnime in January I will hopefully have an art table with my friend Hailey!! So if you see us feel free to stop by and say hello! I will definitely post an update here on whether or not we get the art table since the last few times we've tried to, they were sold out and we felt like crying. So hopefully that doesn't happen but if it does we are still going to be there! It would just be more difficult to find us if you wanted to meet us. But hopefully we get it. Because that would be so nifty. (: Okay guys, I hope you all have a wonderful day! Byeeeeeee! <3
