I'm finally done with first semester since Monday.
I know I haven't updated in a while. School and work took most of my time and I got sick (again).
I still have a cold and terrible coughs. Pretty sure I got it from one of my customers since I started feeling light-headed two weeks ago.

I'm busy with my commission and I wish I could work on it as fast I could.


One of the characters I'm working on for a client

I also did a simple oil painting for my brother who needed help with his project. I'm not sure about the details but they're representing Japan and cherry blossom pretty much symbolizes Japan.



School will start in the next week. I need to finish at least half of the commission before then.
Hopefully my health turns for the better soon.

I will possibly use this as a welcome art for my new website.
I think I'm going to hire my friend to design my website just because I'm not too happy with wix.com just (for the reasons that I can't edit my site using html. Though I think that's the whole purpose of that website...).

I'm not happy with how they established the whole website link. It's too long:

「http://arlegoddess.wix.com/arlegoddess」 compared to 「http://arlegoddess.webs.com」

I really need to have my bangs fixed soon...

I'm sooooo tired of school! I mean, I still kind of like it. I'm actually enjoying some of my classes, especially when we write essays. I'm so weird. c:
I'm pretty busy though. Got so many tests especially since finals is just five weeks away. I'm so tired -__- Luckily, the green tea powder from TenRen went on sale (it was still crazily expensive but that's to be expected...). I went crazy with it as soon as I got home!



(How it looks like. And they have  the packaging for the powder and a...spoon. lol)



Now I don't have to spend five dollars everyday buying green tea frappucino from Starbucks! I can just make my own now （￣ー￣）

I tried drawing pixel art even though it's too much effort to do it. It's really nice to look at though and I totally respect pixel artists. How they do it, I will never know...I'm still working on the drawings for my client. I haven't been working on it lately, however, because of school. I'll try working on it tomorrow. I still have tests next week to study for, unfortunately. Oh, college.

Oh well, I have green tea to make me survive these coming weeks~!

The weapon she's holding is a hachiwari attached to a steel fan.
Done with mechanical pencil 0.7

Now to study for my Math test...

It's still snowing here in Toronto even though Spring is supposed to start this week. I'm so tired of seeing snow. I just want summer to come so I can wear my nice summer dresses and actually not wear layers of clothing.

I'm done with midterms last week, but as soon as I come back to school next week, three tests are waiting for me. Hurrah. >__>

I'm still working on my commission as of now. It's not going well so far because of school and work. Erk. The downside of working downtown. I lose 4 hours of my time going back and forth from my place : /

Since I'm not too sure if I'm allowed to post the drawings I'm working on, I'm just going to leave a very tiny WIP picture of it.



And here's a random doodle of Yukimura Seichi and my OC. xDDD



On a side note, I don't like my bangs :c
Lesson learned, don't cut your own hair (∩ `.)

So I'm going to put Ｓｉｒｅｎ’ｓ　Ｐｌｅａ on hold because I'm working on another project for someone. Granted I will try to draw the characters once in a while but with my busy schedule (and with my midterms this coming two weeks), it will take a very, very long time.

On another note, I recently watched the live action movie of Rurouni Kenshin. I have to say, I'm rather impressed with the movie when my expectations of it weren't entirely good at first. The choreography and setting are really magnificent and the actors did well for the characters. It's such a beautiful movie, in a grotesque way, I guess. It's worth the watch!



Anyway, here's a sketch art of my OC Kumiko, one of my oldest original characters since early high school.

So far, 2013 is not going so well for me.
First my portable harddrive broke, erasing all of my files for both of my laptops and then a few weeks later, my MacBook Pro's harddriver broke. AND GUESS WHAT, NONE OF MY FILES ARE BACKED UP BECAUSE DERP DERP, HARDDRIVE BROKE.

Ugh. I really have bad luck when it comes to technology. : /
Just upset all of my drawings and personal files and Hyun Joong music videos and Tenimyu videos are on it. I just hope my friend can recover my files because I sure ain't paying $1900 on data recovery. Blasted, scamming companies.

On a good side, I am utterly in love with the game "Loren - The Amazon Princess". Rei is my favourite character and Mesphit comes a close second~!

I'll be busy with school for the next few weeks and midterms are coming soon. So not fun. :c

Let me just dump this stupid doodle with Itachi and supposedly lover/girlfriend.


And this is me attempting to try the Naruto art-style LMFAO failure

And I finally finalized the the main design for the main character of my upcoming otome/visual game.



Thoughts?

Finally finished this one a few days ago. Reenigrl seemed happy about it. I'm not too happy with it, but digital art has never been my forte and considering my patience with coloring, this turned out better than what I expected of myself. xD

I'm not much of a Naruto fan, but I am an avid Itachi, Haku, and Neji fan. Spoilers will be up ahead if you haven't read the recent chapters of the manga. So read at your own risk~!

I mentioned the game "Dandelion - Wishes Brought To You" on my last post. So I bought this game on my birthday from its official wbsite and I DO NOT REGRET IT ONE BIT. I still think that $30 is too expensive for this game but it was fun playing it. I had too much feels.

My favourite would be Jihae (the man in the picture above) and Jiwoo. Jihae because obviously he's the beautiful butler type and Jiwoo BECAUSE HE'S A CUTE TSUNDERE AND MAKING FUN OF HIM IS FUN. Ehem. It's the typical otome game, however. There's nothing really special about it except the breathtaking art and amazing voice acting. It's worth the play if you really want to play an otome game.

I also purchased Kim Hyun Joong's new album 「ＵＮＬＩＭＩＴＥＤ」. His songs are beautiful and some of his Korean songs are available in Japanese on this album. His voice is so beautiful~.



Here's an old lineart I drew two years ago and finally started coloring it now. LOL. Do ignore the coloring for the hair. I am too lazy to actually color it. It's Sesshomaru and reenigrl's OC. It's an art trade with her and as you can tell, it's overdue xD

I hope you guys have a lovely New Year~! May the year 2012 be a better year to both you and I!

It's been a while since my last update. I haven't really had any good stuff to share lately and if I did, I was just too lazy to post it up.
Lately, I've been playing free English Otome games online. I know I posted up one before and it was called "Star Project". I got hooked up on otome games once again and been playing them for the past few days. A few that I've played are "Frozen Essence", "(P)lanets", "Re-Alistair", "Heartstring Bugs", "Love Blossom", "Memoirs of an Angel", "Ristorante Amore", "That Cheap and Sacred Thing", and lastly, "Dandelion - Wishes Brought To You".

I'm going to say that "Frozen Essence" would be my favourite so far. Although the art isn't the most amazing thing I've seen, the story was good enough to hold my interest.


Caius - one of the Love Interest in the game and my personal favourite

Next would be "That Cheap and Scared Thing", which is a Visual Novel. All I'm going to say is that this story is really sad. Remember how I love angst? Yup, this visual novel certainly satisfied my angst needs.


This scene broke my heart.

And the one I'm willing to spend my money on (Hey, all the games I've listed above are free) is a Korean otome game called "Dandelion - Wishes Brought To You". The art is pretty and it has voice actors! The demo is available for both PC and MAC users.


Okay, if this didn't make your heart stop, I don't know what will. Eddie is my favourite~!

Okay, so this journal entry is not really a review of these games. There is a reason why I posted all those though. As I've mentioned before, because I've been playing these games for the past few days, I got a sudden inspiration and guess what is it?

I am making my own otome game.

Now you think I'm crazy (which I am), but seriously. I am just so hooked up on these games and I wanted to try it out for once! I already have the main character designed and the plot is in the makes. The love interests? Oh yeah, I already have some planned.

I'm still trying to figure out her colour scheme. So far, everyone from my facebook page likes the black and white version.

Now, the real question is if I'm actually going to do this or not. We'll see.
