I made this blog for my senior year in high school, and it’s been a couple of years since then.

I have too many accounts in too many places. Half the time, I forget where; the other half is not keeping them updated.

/stares at other accounts I forgot
/stares at accounts I haven’t forgotten, just not posted in for a while

Well…oh well.

Been working on costumes for KumoriCon 2010 for the past week or so. Derp, I procrastinated again.

Well, at least I’m almost done with one of them (as in, 97%) and the others are at 50% or more. TOO BAD THERE ARE ONLY SIX DAYS LEFT dohohoho.

I remain the best.

KumoriCon Lineup:

Kitamori Reiko (Yu-Gi-Oh! R) – 97%
Izayoi Aki (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s) – 80%
Dark Signer Kiryu Kyosuke (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s) – 60%

I also need to do my friend’s Yuusei wig, but they said if we don’t get the yellow highlights in it’ll be fine for now. They’ll just be Yuusei’s dad. xD

In other news, I might be part of a Pacific Northwest Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplay group soon. The friend who suggested it (lives in Seattle) will be the leader of the Washington division and they asked if I wanted to head the Oregon division, so…I might have a gaggle of card game nerds on my hands. ♥

Anyhow, I haven’t been doing a whole lot of drawing since school got out (which sucks but is normal. I only draw when I have other, important things to do. What) but I did just get into this huge sewing kick (mostly because KumoriCon is only two weeks away now, ack) so I might get pictures up here of them if I remember.

I’m making Kiryu Kyosuke of YGO 5D’s (Team Satisfaction version.), Rally Dawson of YGO 5D’s, and Izayoi Aki of YGO 5D’s.
I’ve wanted to make Aki for a year, Rally for half a year, and I was talked into Kiryu on the forums because there would be other TeamSat members there. Except not that era…oh, whatever. I’ll be the only one in the vest.

Ironically, the progress is nearly opposite of what I want: Rally’s at 60%, Kiryu’s at 56%, and Aki is still only at 10%. Then again, she is the most elaborate, considering the other two live in an abandoned subway tunnel and the bad side of town, respectively.

So I should probably go work a bit more after updating my to-do list.

I haven’t been doodling much lately, but I only graduated a week ago, so that should change. I’ve mostly been hanging around the internet and watching 5D’s. =]

I got some little hexagonal boxes to paint as the Arcadia Movement logo (from 5D’s) because I’m a nerd and what else would I paint on a hexagonal box, anyway?

Such is the life of an unemployed 18-year-old graduate. Heh.

Okay, so I didn’t really have enough time to completely finish the contest entry for Sargent, but I got far enough along to remember why I don’t like working with markers. They’re kind of sticky and unpleasant.

I’ll put a picture of what I do have, however, once I get home and scan it.

It has sunflowers. C:

Axis Powers Hetalia, to be exact.

Now it started out as the Austro-Hungarian civil ensign and just…grew uncontrollably.

Now it’s the Austro-Hungarian civil ensign with the German and Hungarian names for it along the top and the Axis Powers Hetalia logo at the bottom.

orz

At least it’s still three colors? (If printed on white, anyway.)

=]

Just a few, but it’s something.

More Epic Doodles and costume pictures will be coming your way soon, so look out for those~ :D

Art with a Heart

So! One assignment was to enter an art project into a charity auction~ I made this for it:

And here are detail shots:

I learned how to make origami roses for this project. C:

Art Show!

Another assignment of mine was to enter something in an upcoming art show at the Bush Barn~
I’m supposed to post pictures, but…
I don’t have any. orz

I forgot to take some before turning it in. Hopefully I can get some soon…

Anyway, I turned in some fused glass platebowlthings/dishes that I made in Advanced Stained Glass – I’ve heard the design called both bamboo and palm trees. Either one’s fine with me, really~ I like both.

And apparently that sandblasted bottle was entered, too – awesome! I really like how it turned out. C:

Now, to finish my senior portfolio so I can graduate…

Oh! Before I forget, I’m thinking about entering a contest held by Tokyopop and Pocky…it sounds like fun! (And I love Pocky, so there’s a bonus!) Also, I’m going to add some things to the epic doodles page relating to a certain 100 Theme Challenge list.

Sorry! D:
