Also, I started using Corel Painter instead of PS, however it's Painter 3. Essentials. Not too happy about it, but I guess it'll do. Still trying to get the hang of it, trying to find those brushes that suit my style of drawing. haven't quite found 'em yet, but I'm gettin' there.

Other good news is that the second season of Heroes is starting soon over here. I remember seeing the first episode, I went just nuts. Damn I love that show.

Went and saw Watchmen. Was a bit disappointed, having read the comic before seeing the movie. I mean, I guess it was an okay film, but next to the comic, it was nothing. I was quite disappointed with Spirit as well. As much as I love Frank Miller, I think they coulda done better hiring someone else. The movie looked too much like Sin City, which I love, but it really didn't do justice to the original comic.

Oh, and I might be seen on iScribble also. I signed up for the FM-club's iScribble thingie, not sure quite how the thing works, but anyway.

And that's about it I guess.

Another holiday to remind me just how hopelessly pathetic I am.

We had a party the other day, 'cause lukio (=finnish equivalent of high school, I'd reckon) is over for good now. I got kinda wasted, had a good time, partied and got even more drunk with all the guys from school. And then my friends, with whom I was s'osed ta go home with, decided to head home, and leave me freezing my ass off outside. Needless to say, I wasn't very thrilled about that. Got home though.

On a brighter note, tomorrow we're having another party. At a boat this time. We'll see how that turns out. At least the prospect of alcohol being available is always a good sign.

And, I think I got over my bi-annual depression period. It usually leaves me pretty unable to function much, which is why I haven't drawn anything in a while. Working out seems to be doing the trick. The problem is that even though I eat more now, I still lost weight recently. Which isn't all too healthy if you weigh 50 kg, me'thinks.

Anyway, sorry for ranting, but I just needed to let off some steam, an' shit. Damn, I'm such an emo.

It's about damn time.

As it has shown over the years, the situation in America affects the whole world. The economy is declining, back here in Finland as well (at a smaller rate than America, but still.).

Still, I doubt that one man can turn the situation upside down, at least not overnight. But after hearing Obama's speech yesterday, I found myself having hope. Besides, if Sam Jackson and Bono believe in him, goddammit, so will I.

I hope Obama does a good job, because I'm planning on moving to America and I don't want him to fuck it up, before I get there.

...yup.

Had mah 18th birthday yesterday. It went pretty well, even though I won't go boozin till next weekend. Didn't feel like getting a hangover on a Monday.

Anyway, now I'm like legally adult. I can like vote and drink and stuff. ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

...

Anywhoo, just decided to tell this.

I was sick for about a week. 40 'grees Celsius.

Ugh-ness.

But I'm all better now, and I can return to my daily functions an' school an' shit. I got a few deviations coming along pretty nicely, I'm actually really pleased with the way they are starting look, improvement can be seen.

Toodles, mofos.

I'm having a hard time getting used to DA's new look. Navigating, messages and general managing of mah account are still giving me a hard time, but I think I'll get the hang of this some time soon.

At least now I can check my account weekly, and submit stuff. But still, it's gonna take some time before I really can get back into the groove of things.

All in good tíme I guess.

Finally I'm able to check my DA-account regularly again. Quite a surprise, though, when I checked the account after such a long time away, everything's changed so much. And I have about 269 Deviations on my watch list. My eyes hurt already.

Anyway, without any further chit-chat, I'll be off now to update mah account an' drop some comments.

Be seein' ya'll.

The worst part is, I'm still gonna have to struggle trough an unknown time without internet, so I won't be in touch for a while.

Please, don't forget me just yet. As the Governator so articulately said; "I'll be back."

Bis bald, hoffentlich.

So check Scraps for latest deviations.

Thank you for your attention.

...

Yup.

I've started on some preliminary sketches on Femuscle Club's new club activity. I doubt I'll start working on it very soon, I'm kinda busy with a comic I've been doing, and the inking is killing me. Thank god I don't have to color it.

I also started a side project, when I found this old fighting game on my old computer called Little Fighter 2 (Mighty Final Fight bears the most resemblance.) and I've started to make a FM character to it by copying one of the sprites and altering it. If I ever get bored and want the original character back, I just delete the altered version and bring back the copy of the old sprite. How surprisingly logical of me. Anywhoo...

A friend of mine brought me a Chun-Li figure from Helsinki. And it's supahcool.

Rakkaudesta.

I finally got my Wacom today. FINALLY. I waited for it for a damn-long time, but it was worth the wait. The installation was a bit of a melon-scratcher but I managed, even though I totally suck at computer-y stuff.

Wacom Intuos3 A4. And it's made of pure love. Well, love and shiny bitz.

I think I'll name her (Yes, I do consider it a "her") Bonnie. And yeah, named after a character of mine, to whom I've developed a long affection for.

But yeah, I'll propably start working on a few deviations, once I get the hang of drawing with a tablet. Requests can be done also.

I've posted a few new deviations lately and two others are coming along. Even though, working with an optical mouse is totally killing my wrist, and it's nearly impossible to post anything but quick sketches. I did manage to use the scanner in our art class to post a pencil-drawing. Not that it looks much different than my works with mouse, though it's easier to squeeze in details with pencils.

But now I gotta go, schoolwork is killing me, especially when I'm having like 5 exams in 3 days.

Peace out.

There are some other things that've been bringing me down lately, but I kinda don't feel like explaining, since they are kinda personal and all that shit. Besides, I only made a new journal entry just to get rid of the old one, it was starting to annoy me. So now i should come up with something smart and witty to say.

Bollocks, I'm too pissed for that. I just can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm just totally haunted by an image in my head, I've been trying to get it on paper, but then I just fail miserably and I get more frustrated.

I guess I am a weird asshole.

I don't have anything better to do so I decided to write another journal entry. Not like anybodys going to read this anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

So let's go~

Not much new stuff going on right now, art-wise, just waiting to get that Wacom. Until then, I guess I have to stick to my hard-back, A4-sketchbook. I love it. Too bad the paper doesn't work well with pencils, it's designed to be used with fountain pens an' shit.
But I'm too lazy to buy me a decent drawing pen, that isn't a pencil. I like pencils. I also like boxing gloves /such, but that is totally irrelevant.

Been consuming a lot of Frank Miller and 2000 A.D.-comics, since I'm trying to cut back on my manga reading and -drawing, since it's really popular these days back here in north, and I don't want to seem like I'm into it just because it's popular. Damn I hate it that manga is popular. Why can't it be a nice elitistic hobby, like it used to be when I started, when I was like, 10 or something?

Arrg, and I hate people who like, learn how to draw by reading Katy Coope's books/whatever. (No offense Katy Coope, but I hate you AND your stupid spawnings, that can't even spell the goddamn word 'manga'. Well, some at least. But don't worry, I'll hate ya'll evenly even if can spell the word.) I guess I should be the good samaritan and slam into those kids's skulls, that one truth that was once said in Ikkitousen, that filosophical master-piece, that is true, no matter what.

"BASICS!"

And I'm drinking coffee. Bad mix.

Anywhoo, I'm starting up a comic, after a looong break. It's gonna be somewhat-like Iron Virgin Jun meets Dragonball meets Street Fighter. And it's going to feature some Godzilla-kind of women (well, one so far, but I've only started sketching the first few characters), and I'm kinda lost, and I'd really aprreciate if I could talk to some of you guys who know any tricks to use to draw muscular (wo)men. Or if you just wanna talk about stuff/comics, I don't mind.

But yeah, I'll try to get that Wacom tablet ASAP. Right now, I guess I'll just have to ask my friends for comments on my drawings. Some of them have really given me a hard time, whining to see my art, but I'm kinda not in the mood. But yeah, it's a long story.

Peace out.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to recruit a friend to find me a decent drawing tablet-thingy, seeing as I know nothing about computer stuff (To be honest, I know, I just don't give a damn about computers and their guts, just what you can do with 'em.). Anywhoo, if you guys can tolerate me for one more month, I can finally show what I'm capable of. Or as Kakashi said it, "Let me show you my own true art." In my case, it's quite literal.

Mebbe I'll get more pageviews an' comments, once I start submitting REAL deviations. Until then, just bear with me.

Submit poetry. I have no idea, where I got the perception that I was any good as an poet, seeing as I totally suck at writing. But hey, might as well try.
You never know.

And, I just totally had to submit SOMETHING. I was feeling very guilty for commenting and dishing out critique, and not having posted anything. Now my heart is at ease.

Don't think I'll be posting any more poetry here, once I get my scanner up and running. That may take a while. What to do, what to do?

If you see me writing a book, hit me.
