Hello everyone,

It's been an age since I have last posted anything on deviantart. I have even let my subscription run out.

I'm sad to say I have not at all been well. I was in a very bad place, went to a slump and I started to question myself. But the good thing that came out of my musings was that it gave me time to think what I want with my life and how to go about getting it and getting back some inspiration and vision and most of all drive!

As some of you may know I have moved to the big city of London and I have been hear almost a year now!! Gosh, how time flies.. I din't have the net and a PC for 5 months so that added to my meltdown. I'm all settled now, My day job takes most of my time but I'm just about managing some time for my art, the BF and other social things. I even managed to attend the London expo this year and met some amazing pros.

Anyhoo,

I'd like to thank everyone who continued to watch and fave my work. you guys are the best!

In The Works:

1. A lot of you might remember my Hybrid Fusions- the first was [link]
the others are still in the works but took a back seat as I lost quite a bit of work when my old PC died still trying to find a way to recover them.

2. I have been sketching a few comic book heroes lately and once I have finished painting them it will be posted.

3. I have a new upcoming project that is now in the works as well as a possible graphic novel (still early scripting/ story rough stage) you will learn more in the next months.

Note:

I have also joined the Imagine FX community as Lady-N. you might see some deviations from my contest/ challenge entries from IFX forums.


That's all for now, thank you for reading and thanks again for all your comments, fav and watch. sorry i can't send individual thank you messages as I usually do as there is just so many!! Thank you all

Again, thanks to my dearest friends:



for your encouraging comments... ]]> *Lady-Nihonto http://Lady-Nihonto.deviantart.com/journal/19964739/ http://Lady-Nihonto.deviantart.com/journal/19964739/ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:00:41 PDT

Hello all,

first of all I am so terribly sorry for not repliying to messages and posts.. Thanks for all you gys who fav my work and your nice comments.

The reason I have not been posting is that I don't have a net connection in my new place. As some of you already know I have moved to the big city and I have only managed to move the most crucial of my things, i.e. MY PC portfolio, some clothes and food. I haven't got a TV yet as as i dint not think it necessary as I got my PC for watching my films and music.. but now my PC broke, so I'm like without food and water, No net, no music or films!! Its ok though. this weekend I am going back to my folks to get the rest of my stuff so hopefully I'll get my TV and PS2!! I'm working on getting my PC fixed ASAP so I can arrange to get an internet connection set up. I'm in dire need of this as I have a commission to finish and I have been drawing lost as a result of no TV and I need to render them soon.. so many great IFX challenges and frustrating not being able to have entered!!

Anyway, thanks again for the messages and favs!! hopefully you will see more work from me soon!!

Again, thanks to my dearest friends:

I think you guys must have realised I'm not much of a blogger.

So This is the first Journal Post I've done for 2008!! yep.. partly cos I'm a lazy blogger and also there was not much interesting news to say until now...

~NEWS~

As some of you probably already know. After Graduating last year. I started working for a small production company for television as a production assistant a.k.a. runner. I started on January and now sadly I'm almost at an end with my contract. So I did a few design work but not much.. some mood boards, a little concept work which both projects still waiting to be commissioned. Mostly I have worked on the office. copying and printing scripts, phone answering etc.

But the biggest Highlight is definitely on Thursday 26th of June. My visit at the Shepperton Studios!!
I visited the set of a new comedy sitcom for BBC2 (UK channel) called "The Beautiful People" written by Jonathan Harvey. I got to meet some of the starts and the director and set designers which was so interesting and an amazing experience. After my very encouraging talk with the Art production department I have been encourage to go around the studios and see what other films and shows are being made right now and to my luck the next studio was shooting the last bits of HARRY POTTER : The Half Blood Prince!!!! I got to see the enormous model of Hogwarts as they dust snow on it. I was lucky enough to get an audience with the Art Director and he had a peek of a small version of my portfolio then proceed on taking my card!!

I guess this is a lesson that hard work does pay in the end.. there were times at the production office I felt like giving up. the pay was low, I wasn't doing what I wanted to do but I stuck by it and I know I've got a long way to go but I know I will get there.

On another note,
I managed to sell a canvas print of the 1st of my Hybrid Fusion series "Butterfly". I'm currently working on the next installment. I'm also opening up an ebay store to sell more prints if anyone is interested but more on that on a later date once I have set everything up.

I'm in the process of moving into the big city of London!! yep. I have 2 job interviews tomorrow so peoples, wish me luck!!

~THANKS~

I know this is a it late but. Thanks for everyones pageviews and continued watch, comment and favourites.
Thanks for the 5K hits!!

all of your lovely comments, encouragement and support is much appreciated!

Thank you to....

Listening to: my favourite game by the cardigans
Reading: hero of a thousand faces
Watching: City of Angels

oki its the first time i've done this sorta thing so bear with me please.

these apparently are the rules for this thing:

Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours....

-------------------------

*sighs* rite uhm....

1) I sometimes say something really deep and meaningful then ruin the moment buy adding " yeah some shit like that" or .. " or somethin like that... i think" at the end of what i just said!

2) .....i like dipping my fries in vanilla ice cream

3)i sometimes sing when im doind things i i don't realise that i do it!

4)wen i was little i used to make noises.. like sound effects while i was drawing.. of whatever i was drawing..

5) ok .. in the philippines whe have this tradition that children are told that when new year comes one should jup as high as they can so they would grow. well im not a kid anymore but i still jump every new year's so i would grow taller.. maybe i should give up on the notion!!

6)i sometimes could have 2 different conversations with different ppl at the same time.

there!! finally.. man i never know what to write in these things... it seems like when your writing up a list the more u cant think of something and once your done.. you'll remember really good stuff you could have written down or in this case type!... sorry not so interesting as i would hope..
dint mean to bore u ppls!
thanks for taking the time to read anyways...

I was having a deep conversation with a friend a few weeks ago. we talked about life and death and what we thought our purpose was... I wont bore you guys with the details but he told me to read this tiny paper from his wallet.. really old i was afraid it will fall to pieces lol. But it contained a list of things he wished to do in life before he gets too old.. it ranges from really silly small things to really big serious ones and he constantly adds to it every now and again. Anyhoo.. I felt really inspired by this.. it made me think about the things i want to do also and places that i would wanna see. so i decided to make my own list.

THE LIST
1. learn to ride a bike - yes i dunno how

2. learn to play a musical instrument - i cant play any

3. to go fishing - i heard its a good hobby

4. to go camping - i nevr done real camping before with tents and a bonfire

5. to bungee jump or sky dive - weeeeeeee

6. to hike a beautiful mountain trail - i heard alberta canada is a beautiful place

7. to fall inlove - yeah i know.. but i am a romantic at heart

8. to go strawberry picking - omg i loooove strawberries he he

9. to make asand castle - dont laugh. i seriously never made one.

10. to see a whale - man it would be so nice

11. to meet a real life PANDA - yes i love pandas so much. i have adopted a panda from WWF (no not wrestling)

12. i'd like to visit:

the rain forest

the great wall of china

japan and all its glory - wann go again i was too young for my firts visit.

the pyramids and i wanna see the hieroglyphs

wanna go to palawan or cebu in the philippines really beautiful places

wanna go to Saipan in nothern mariana islands - i was born there and i would like to see it

13. I would like to shake Yoshitaka Amano's hand

14: I would like to make something that I am really proud of and content with

15. to make snow angels - i had never had the chance

16. hmm to make love in the rain - yeah now that is romantic

17. I want to INSPIRE someone - i believe that to inspire someone is to touch their soul.


well i guess its apretty short list so far but i will keep adding to it more and more if i think aboutr it.

well i hope i gots you ppl thinking about what you want to achieve in life.. go on think about your goals.. (^_^)
