Character #23 + Dreyfly

Well, it's mid-semester break obviously, and I think I'm taking it a bit too lax. Should be getting hyped on my thesis again in the coming days - should probably get that professional practicum report written up as well.

Anyhow, tonight (today's) first edition was a miniature collaboration with a new found artist buddy also hailing from Australia. Could do with more Aussies at Niko's I think! The latter is obviously my dose of machinery for the week.

That aside, the only other news I was rather confused to hear was the passing of Michael Jackson. Though he may have had a few awkward moments along life, he was a legend in his field of music I think, and always will be -respect for the man.

Peace.

Character #22

And that's the last exam for semester one complete today (er, yesterday). Now if my insomnia magically disappears I'll be back to square one.

Peace.

Character #21

Some late night mischief with Merv, bragging on and on about how cool old 80's style police series were. The theory was that putting a pair of aviator sunnies on anything makes it instantly cooler! On that lighter note, here's a link: 西部警察

Anyway, trying to get more than 3 hours sleep tonight! Being a bit ambitious I know, but alas, the last week or so I've been dreaded with insomnia for some reason. I wish I could just pass out in slumber. @_@

Victory (?) march towards end of exams this Friday.

Peace.

Character #20

Seven days to study for my last exam - a bit excessive. Could have done with some extra days on the one I just had yesterday. Oh well, no use pondering about that now! Latest addition is dedicated to Leaf, because he smells.

Peace.

Alchemy: Art Block's New Enemy

Title says it all - Alchemy. Been sidetracked off study since I discovered this nifty experimental drawing program. At first glance, I literally opened the program and started scribbling, surprising myself in the process. It's not built to produce finished artwork per se... but there's no reason why you can't make a finished piece straight from Alchemy alone. However, the concept of the program seems geared towards smacking down shapes and having your brain derive inspiration instead - which it does really well! So kiss good bye to all those art block days, go have a try!

By the way, it took a total of three whole minutes to draw both those demos I posted above (minus post-processing in elements). Anyway, four days till first exam. @_@

Peace.

Sluodon

Fast-forwarding a bit, it's exam season... hurray! That means doing things that I like doing instead of studying, right? It's a very notorious habit after all.

Just paid Niko's a visit today and found out I had to re-register my account because of a new redesign of some sort. Leafie-boy told me he was hanging around lately. Anyway, tonight's effort has put me back schedule for tomorrow's... uh, today's study.

Peace.
