My photobucket is being weird and hasn't been showing any of the years worth of *mostly crappy* pictures I've uploaded on my computer, but they show up on other computers? wtf? how does this make sense. oh right, it doesn't. It's annoying the piss out of me right now and it's been doing it all week!! definitely not thankful for you right now photobucket!

Also, I'm still unemployed and it's beginning to freak me the fuck out because I'll done with school Tuesday and while I love free time, I desperately need money and it's annoying the piss out of me that I can't find a job! like seriously, wtf. As far as retail jobs go (like Borders and Gamestop) I was apparently a week too late in applying which I couldn't really help because I had been putting everything off to finish all my med school applications and prepare for youmacon...so I didn't really have time to apply, but I feel like November 1st is still sort of early-ish for getting a job during the holiday season..but I was wrong, lol. so yeah... and wtf? don't places like walmart hire all the time, WHY WON'T THEY HIRE ME lol.
and what pisses me off even more is that I worked at a movie theatre for a year [and a summer a year later] three years ago and I talked to the new manager and he won't give me an interview? like I flat out asked if I could have one [which is what I always do because no places ever call me back, lol] and he was like "yeah, I'm still setting them up blah blah" and it's been 2 weeks...like wtf. I USED TO WORK THERE AND EVERYONE LOVED ME!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT!!! me need job.

How the hell do people get jobs? I always had to call a week or two later to ask if I could have an interview set up or whatever because I have NEVER been called back? Is that how it usually happens because I don't know why that's never happened to me...it's not like I'm applying to "real" jobs [where you need a degree n' such, etc.] WTF! maybe it's because they think I'm ugly and don't want my face representing their company, lol. damnnn

And on top of being unemployed and having to file for bankruptcy [that might be a slight exaggeration], I haven't heard back from med schools yet which AHHH. I just want to get in somewhere and be done so that I know I have a future secured, lol. If I'm not in med school next year then...I'm fucked :) lol

I need to chill out and watch 30 Rock for now, I think I'll go do that! peacee

Youmacon is in 3 days! I'm super excited for it. I don't have a job right now [which I'm looking to remedy for the winter] and I'm a full time student so...yeah, I need money and this con coming at the PERFECT time. Although I'll probably still spend half the money I make, oops. oh well.

I've been working on Dissidia keychains because I'm obsessed with that game right now [it's so fun!]

( Dissidia Keychains )

I colored the first 5, now I have 5 more to go! All of which I plan on doing tomorrow because I need to start cutting them out/laminating them asap.

In other news, I'm almost done with all my applications to med school! I have 3 left [although I'm still not sure I want to do the last one...but I might as well], two of which are pretty much done I just have to print everything out and mail them in. I'll probably get that done tomorrow or Wednesday. As for the third, I haven't looked at it yet and it's not due till january so waiting a few more days really shouldn't hurt, lol. but I do want to get all of them off my plate finally so...I'll work on it this week n' such.

Alas it looks like I will not have a halloween picture done by halloween AGAIN. I always tell myself I'll get one done and I would have this year...but Youmacon is halloween weekend and I've been preparing my keychains/prints so..probably ain't gonna happen...but I might draw some lineart at least *shrug*

Youmacon is this weekend! which I'm really excited for.
Unlike previous years, I finished all my prints a week over a week in advance...instead of like..the day before the con, but I'm still working on chibis for keychains/badges...since it's easier to just print and laminate them at home.

Here are two ( Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Prints )

yeah, fugggglly. *shudder*

Anyway, now I'm working on Dissidia chibis...which is kind of insane because I'm making 12 of them in less than 6 days, but it shouldn't be that difficult since they're just chibis...and I can always cut out/laminate the keychains n' such during the con [which is what I want to avoid doing at all costs because it's annoying and messy. lol]

but I'm not! I finished coloring ( Bayonetta )

as per usual, I hateee my art, but I sort of like how the wing on the right turned out, lol.

I also sketched( Serah + Lightning from FFXIII )

they also revealed the newest character in FFXIII, who is a total sex pot and I'm in loovveee with her, lol. Probably going to draw her a lot.
Her sexiness can be seen ( here )

and now instead of studying [like I should be] I'm going to play Dissidia! gotta level Terra and Cloud up more. *nerd attack*

It's been a while since I've updated/been on LJ at all. I've been suppperr busy filling out secondary applications for med school...which is tons of fun. Basically you have to apply to med school twice, lol. You fill out a primary application online [which takes foreverrr] and that is sent to all the medical schools in the U.S. that you apply to, then if they still like, the med school sends you their individual application [secondary] which is usually filling out MORE information and writing 2-3 [usually three, ugh fml.] essays! hooray! and I applied to 11 schools so that's somewhere between 22 and 33 essays, lol. I'm sure you're all super jealous.

oh, and on top of that, I have school! even more fun.

In other news, Youmacon is coming up! [Halloween weekend] which I'm super excited for, I plan to buy lots of goodies, lol...which for me mostly consist of figurines and art books. Unfortunately I will not have a lot of new prints/merchandise for this year...so everyone will be like "ugh, gtfo with you're old shit". yeahhh

But here are ( boring pictures )

Hooray, I'm done with summer school! and I'm very satisfied with my grades. woot woot. Now for fall classes in two weeks =x ugh. fml.

So I've been super busy this summer, but I try to draw every now and then!
Here's what I've been ( working on... )

I'm a final fantasy whore and I want to draw big posters of every final fantasy game ever. and by every final fantasy game ever I mean 6 and up...and maybe 4.
but that will probably never happen because I'm too lazy and I need to start drawing my own characters. like DAMN. I have no colored pictures of my own characters. How could this happen after having them for 3-8 years. So I definitely need to start working on that...but I enjoy drawing fanart...it's this problem I have. oh well!

Summer school/studying for the MCAT owns my life right now. One more month till freedom!!
in the mean time, here are some sketch commissions of 17th century characters for Sepia-Mortis from deviantArt.
( sketch comss )

in other news, I reread all the harry potter books in succession, LOL.
*super nerd*

As usual, I should by studying...but I'm not.
I'm just working on commissions, but in the mean time I thought I'd post more of the video game console tans that I drew a while ago [I was too lazy to post them all at the same time, lol....and I still haven't scanned two of them]
( tan-chamas )
I drew x-box and xbox360 as well...but the xbox was hideous so I scrapped it out of shame, and I'm just too lazy to scan 360 right now.

also, I hardly ever color pictures because I hate coloring. it's an awful process.

I started watching Six Feet Under. It's great! I've never liked a non-supernatural or sci-fi/fantasy-esque show this much before!
You should all watch it too :)

I should be studying, but after the blow of getting my MCAT score back, I need a day to recover before I do any of that nonsense.
In the mean time, I'll draw! woo.
( princesses + commission )

In other news, I'm devastated that I can't go to the Depeche Mode concert in toronto this weekend. I can't see my favorite band ever live =(. kill me.

I was bored today so I drew Hermione. My Harry Potter nerdiness is at an all time high right now.
( Hermione )
This is the first picture I've drawn completely in photoshop. Usually I draw the lines on paper first then digitally ink and/or color. I prefer drawing on paper first, I'm not used to drawing on my tablet as much =x. oh well.
I was going to draw something coming out of her wand too...but then I got lazy. Figures.

I've been going on a Harry Potter fan craze recently. Up until a few days ago I hadn't read the last books for some reason....which is especially weird because I worked at Border's for the release party for the seventh book [which, by the way, was a hectic nightmare I care not to revisit] and I bought the book that day too. Well, anyway, I read the 6th book before I saw the movie Wednesday...and the seventh book after that!
I'm a sentimental sap and like Harry Potter because I wish I could go to a school to learn magic, lol [although I wouldn't mind if it adopted a name aside from Hogwartz..seriously? nerdatron 5000]. so yeah, I started to draw a picture of Harry Potter...but I quickly abandoned it because it's le horrible.
( anticlimactic HP junk )

also...I here are some lines for other x-women I've drawn [mostly villains now]
( x-womenz )

I'm also fascinated by J.K.Rowling's life story. She was dirt poor then wrote this series about a wizard who is now one of the most iconic characters in the world and well worth over a billion dollars. like seriously J.K., let's trade places.

Why am I such a nerd, I'm too old to like Harry Potter lol.

I scanned some pictures that were in my sketchbook. Half of them were from before November, and the other half are more recent. Sorry they're all pretty huge, that's what she said. *I couldn't resist!*
( Older junk ) and some ( newer junk )

I need to stop drawing pretty, fanciful, magical girls. gah

Today is Father's Day and my sister's birthday. She turned 16 today...which I guess is a big deal for girls or something, or so I hear. Anyway, she likes to read and all that nonsense that I don't enjoy so I got her a gift card to borders and drew her a picture!

I slyly asked her what kind of picture I should draw a few weeks ago and she said I should draw a vampire [who's a girl] and a werewolf [who's a boy] and that they should be in love, lol. fuck that twilight bullshit. ugh, I hate Twilight. it's so ridiculous/STUPID. kill me. I've tried to turn her away from it but she's pretty obsessed. it's kind of a problem. Anyway, here's what I ended up ( drawing for her! )

so it's been 8 years [or months] since I've drawn anything, seriously...the last time I drew was in December...so not even this year! so...I'm super, super rusty and the whole picture was NOT TURNING OUT HOW I WANTED IT TO, so I finally just gave up trying to get out what I wanted and went with the flow, also known as crap. but whatever. It's done and she liked it, hooray. the end.

I ran three miles today, or..suffered through three miles. fuck, my ass got fat, aha. All I did for the past month was study...and eat my sorrows away... so trying to run for the first time in ages was torture, but hopefully I can whip myself back into shape, I really need to. ugh. fml.

SO YEAH, FUCK TWILIGHT. it's awful/camp. If you want a good vampire story, watch True Blood <33333. heart forever. I'm so psyched about season 2.

watch that shit, it's amazing.
[kiddies probably shouldn't watch it considering there are nudie people, blood and guts every other..[or every] episode..whatever, it's awesome.]

I took the MCAT[admissions exam for medical schools]today!! I'm so glad I finally got that over with...now to wait for a month in anticipation to see whether or not I need to take it again, aha. hopefully not. *crosses fingers*. It went pretty well for the most part...except the second essay I had to write in the writing portion was kind of a disaster, oh well. I don't want to think about it right now, haha. At least I'm free for the next month!

So it's been a long, long time since I've updated. Basically I haven't been busy with academics and such related things...and then I spend my free time with my friends instead of...drawing. A shame, I know.

I graduated from college in May! which is kind of exciting except for that whole..."you're a part of the real world now!" thing...and finding a job...ahh yeah. I'm applying to med school for fall 2010, aha. We'll see how that goes.

so yeah, I graduated, took the MCAT, I've been studying for it like nonstop for the past 5 weeks...but I did manage to draw a little bit during this time! It's been a while though so I'm rusty/horrible, lol. ahh.

I was a nerd and drew tan-chama-chans of various game systems...although I'm too lazy to scan all of them right now.
( Tan-Chama-Chans! )

In other news, my parents were AMAZING and got me a new laptop for my birthday -- a Toshiba Satellite. I love it and I definitely NEEDED it since the hinge on my old craptop like..broke off so the screen wouldn't stand up on its own.....yeah.

I definitely need a job asap.
the end.

I'm moving back to school this Saturday!!! which is CRAZY. I already have a quiz the first day of class ;__; but I'm living in a house with 6 of my friends, so...I'm sure this years will be awesome, except for all the hard classes I'm taking. Great senior year that will prove to be! Anyway, before moving back in, I've been working on a ( commission + personal art! )
Also, your help would be very appreciated in this issue! -- which color scheme do you prefer for my rendition of ( Storm )

the end.

I know I haven't updated in 4 million years, but that's okay.
I drew some ( x-men ) maybe I'll color them eventually.

Today I failed my bio quiz :3
so to console myself for my terrible academic performance, I finished up a batch of ( D.Gray-Man badges )

I've never really made badges for a con before <__<; and I'm thoroughly incompetent/confused when it comes to the whole laminating thing, lol. I've had people explain it to me like 50 times and I still don't understand ;__; *failure* at any rate, I guess I'll learn now! woo hoo if all else fails, I'll sell these as postcard things :3 blargh! school is going to be the death of me.

Hooray! I went home for the extended weekend, and I've finally had time to draw/color! *school has pretty much been eating up all of my time ;x* so I managed to finish coloring a ( picture of my character - Ophylia )
I have this *what most people think is* bad habit of redesigning my characters all the time *I like to call it giving them alternate outfits! who wears the same thing everyday? come on!* the only time I get really annoyed with doing that is when I'm designing a different character, then I think to myself "OOO! this would like good on ______. screw having you wear this!" so yeah.

anyway, school has been going pretty well! I mean, I'm crazy busy, but I guess that's what happens when you're trying to get an education! that and I'm a fool and do extracurricular activities...and had the presidency position thrown on me basically. fun stuff.

and may I end by saying I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the music from Nana <333 *movies and anime*
*geeks all over Nana*

*3*

so while drawing today, I've been watching the flavor of love marathon.
New York is fucking INSANE....and why are people interested in dating Flavor Flav again? what's going on? huh? anyway...!
( new pictures )

Ok so AX was over a month ago...but being the lazy crapola I am, I haven't gotten around to saying anything about it until now! I'll keep it short and simple: it rocked! :D It was really great getting to meet all the cactus peeps in person *finally*. I shared my table with emoxic for most of our time in the artists' alley. Our group (six of us) split three tables, so shilane was with us too! We played some killer rounds of singstar, because seriously - it's the best karaoke game...EVAR. I can't sing worth shit and I'm sure everyone despised my liking it so much, but it was tons of fun!
I met some sweet ass artists in the alley and we traded, it was amazing <3. I want to go again next year!!

*I apologize if I didn't mention names! I'm just um...lazy, haha*

in other news, since AX I have been drawing!
