Just updating cause I haven't for a billion years.
Been with a high fever and a flu for the last few days, the fever is gone now, but still the silly cough and clogged sinuses. I was thinking I'll be plenty productive but I'm just too braindead to pull off anything creative X3
Also, I haven't been all that active and arting lately, cause I've been looking for a place to move out to (kinda getting kicked out). A friend's family's place recently freed up a room, so I'll most likely move in there, though I don't have enough to pay my first month of rent with, so I'll try to get a job down there before I move in (which I was planning to do this week, but the flu was a bit of a setback D: ).

Anyway, I think that's it for current events, sorry I don't have anything more interesting to share X3 I was thinking I'll share a new movie or something, but I haven't seen any since "9" X3

And oh yes, 10 free sketches, I haven't forgotten about those. One down, and plenty more to go X3


And how are all ye doing?

I just got back from seeing it, and AH! I Really really enjoyed it! Just the overall grim look of the movie is worth a watch in theater if you can, just loved it so much. I Doubt I'll have a chance to see it again, but I just can't wait for a DVD release.

I'd just love to draw some "stitch punk" fan art for the movie when I get a chance.
And oh yes, if you are just as big an orchestral soundtrack geek as I am, Danny Elfman never disappoints! I've listened to the score many times over, and I really enjoy it.

Anyway, check out the movie if you can!

OH NOES 10 FREE SKETCHES
I can't resist anymore, and I'll blame for offering free sketches, lolz. But I really need the practice, so I need to force myself to draw way more.

Yes, I still owe a trade, and some gift art, but I'll try to get everything done this upcoming week.

So dee rulez=
-Whoever wants a free sketch from me, has to post a journal also offering 10 free sketches; and you gotto link me to that journal entry if you want the free sketch from me.
-I do not draw pronz, drugs, alcohol, explosions, or profanity. Well ok, I can draw drugs, alcohol, explosions, and profanity; but no hairy naked old people for you.
-I'm a bit iffy and unskilled at drawing humanz, though I guess I'm up for the challenge.

So, lets keep it simple, just a B/W sketchy of a char you request

Well I'm just putting this here cause i should update my journals a lot more often, haha. So yeah, my Bday on the 25th which is like this following Tuesday (I actually had to check my birth certificate, because I thought it was on the 24th, isn't that just pathetic? rofl).
But yus, my parents & sisters are going camping the day before my Bday. But camping isn't what I had in mind for my Bday, plus I can't really afford to spare like 3 days right now, considering I have only a few weeks to get my portfolio done. So do I want to go on this camping trip? Or just like chill at home alone on my bday? I still can't make up my mind.
My friend want me to go down to Vancouver with them and get drunk, but I think getting drunk is retarded and a waste of money, so I don't think I'd go with that option, haha.

And hmmm hmmm, other updates? I haven't gone to the theater since Batman Dark Knight. But recently I went and watched the new Harry Potter with my sisters, and went and watched District 9 with my friends on the 14th.

I thought HP was a good watch. Some people complained they left out too much, and they DID leave out some stuff from the book, but all the same it was an enjoyable movie.

As for District 9, I was originally going to wait till it came out on video. But after seeing the second trailer, I was just too intrigued to pass it up after my friends said they were all going off to see it on opening (and Peter Jackson Producing it, only meant great things, haha). The movie starts out in documentary form, but has a slow transition into more of a film, which I thought was really well done. But yeah, I REALLY found that movie entertaining. It's pretty much just a sifi movie, but it's pretty unique. Even though it was a low budget movie (30 million) everything still looked really awesome, the aliens were really well rendered and animated, Weta Workshop ftw. I've seen the directors original short film this movie was based on, so it was really neat seeing his vision in a feature length, and considering this was his first ever full length film, 9 high fives to him! Haha, if you don't mind humans splattering, and other gruesome little things, then I'd recommend you at least gave it a rent! I doubt I'll have the chance to see it in theater again, so I can't wait till it comes out on video.

As for movies I'm anticipating, there is an animated film coming out called "9" this September. I REALLY can't wait to see that one. And again, that is also a film based on a short fil done by the director a few years ago. but I shall shut up because I've babbled quite enough in this journal, haha.

Hope everyone is doing well! And forgive me for being behind on comments and such!

I'm just putting this up cause my last journal is ancient.

As for life, I'm just exhausted these days, but I'm sure everyone else is too. Please forgive me with late lag on commission and journal comments and such! I'm just usually too busy and braindead these days to properly keep up with DA.

As for workloads, I finished up with a huge deadline last friday, and i just finished up with a long ass overdue commission. I'm behind on one trade (that's you sparkle&sunshine ^^). Behind on coloring two Bday pics (yes, Otolemur and Zah XD). And I owe someone some "giftart" on my other account, but I'm just going to put that off for various reasons. And then the missOC contest I had to forfeit unfortunately, i just didn't have the time to finish my second entry for the deadline.
Other then that, less then a month to finish my portfolio, it's getting a bit scary and frustrating. Luckily no one else in the house for almost a week, so I can finally work in some peace and quiet, without any bloody interruptions.

So yuss... busy busy busy.
