Some random rants and coffee breaks

~Llarth — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:36:55 PDT

Greetings dearest DA people. Yes, it has been a while since I have updated but that is because this year at school has been the most stressful year and busy year yet (I almost snapped at work one day). There has been more to do this year and barely any time to sleep (which hasn't much of an issue anyway, but the lack of sleep is starting to make me a bit crazy).

But the good news is that I am going to the up-coming Motaku convention. I have the Kadaj costume (it looks crazy cool) and have the room reserved for a time of hopeful wildness. I also have Naka-kon planned too, so I hope to see you all there at both cons.

I have also bought Demon's souls recently. It is an odd game, but I like it. The graphics are pretty good for an online game and the gameplay is challenging, but can get repetitive. What do you all think? Feel free to post your thoughts. *motions below*

I am trying my best to get more art together, since most of it has been in the form of digital films. One of the ended up on youtube, but I hope to make plenty more and share them all with you. Until then, wish me luck.

PS - You just lost the game. Have a good day.

Mactastic

Well, I suppose it has been a while since I have journaled, but I have something to say now. I have finally attained a laptop of my own, and it is a Mac. This is a completely new system to me, and I have yet to fully learn it, but so far I am impressed with the settup the laptop has (especially the fact that World of Warcraft works faster on it than my desktop. :3) I also got an Ipod touch, but still have a bit of bugs to work out on the iTunes store. Still, not bad for an hour-and-a-half long wait in line in the hot sun, eh?

In other news, artist block still persists in the ways of work to be done, and part of that is lazyness, but I am doing my best to find cool stuff to draw. Give me time.

Other than that, school starts up soon, and this year should be interesting. It is the first year of my intended major and should have more intensive classes. So I have high hopes. Updates will be made as the year goes along.

That is really all I have to talk about right now, so until next time my friends. May the art gods share blessings with all of you and blessed be.

Naka-kon fun

~Llarth — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:11:24 PDT

I have returned from Naka-kon!!! *heroic pose* I wish that Naka-kon didn't have to end. I had such fun and spent a good chunk of money, but all in good taste (at least I hope). I say the crowning achievement was the Mokona plushie I recieved.

I was glad that my girlfriend and I were able to go together. It wouldn't have been the same without her. I am also thankful to her friends, who allowed me to crash with them and partake in their foods (we almost finished what we brought with us altogether, which was a lot). I was even able to get things for my parents.

In order, though:

Day 1 - waited 1 to 1-and-a-half hours in line for con badge. Unloaded things in room, changed into costume, Dark Link with my girlfriend was Vatii (collar included, since that is what my girlfriend was dragging me around on) and went to scope out vendors and other stuffs. I didn't do much else that day, since we got there kind of late, but I did go to the rave!!! So many glow sticks and so much dancing (not to mention the caramelldansen. Loved that one!!)

Day 2 - Checked out the vendors again just in case I missed something. I hope I didn't drag Vatii around too much, but the vendors room distracts me so. I attend several panels, like the "How to Draw and Not to Draw" with a hilarious artist/speaker. Gave out several hugs to those who wanted them, or asked for them, and got several pictures taken of the Vatii and Dark Link duo (I am tempted to do a couple picture of them later). I was even able to catch a "Basic Dance" panel, which was fun and cooky.

Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I made sure to get a mocha. If I don't have coffee in places like this, I may go crazy. :3 Anywho, I stayed for a Smash Bros. Brawl tournament, to which I promptly lost first round of said tournament. (again! Gah! I need to practice more) I made sure to go to the rave (or what was left of it, since it started late) and danced the night away with my girlfriend. We got back to the room and finished watching Death Note 2 before going to sleep.

Day 3 - Watched a friend do a Karaoke contest (he won an award on that evening's closing ceremonies) and cought what deals I could at the last-minute-shopping spree. Cought up with my mother who packed our stuff and watched the closing ceremonies. After this we went to Crown Center and got some ice-cream before heading home.

I have so many pictures to upload later, but that may take a while. I hope everyone's weekend was enjoyable.

At an end

~Llarth — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 20:34:14 PST

My how time flies. It seems like only a month ago that my break started. Well, actually it was roughly a month ago, but I will still miss the days. *sob*

As the wheel turns to yet another period of trial, we remember the things we learn during our quiet times to ourselves and our fun times with others. Look forward to the future and keep the past at heart, and all that.

Anywho, my biggest headache will be the part-time job, but many have done so before and so can I. (I like being a starving artist, but not too starving I guess. Can't have ribs every night, ya? :3) Hopefully the optimism I have whilst I am writing this will not betray me later this year. *prays*

Otherwise, I will try to update my journal and DA page once in a blue moon so stay tuned for more randomness.

Post New Year

~Llarth — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:20:03 PST

Yes, this is very much overdue, but the journal should be updated once in a blue moon. :3

A quiet Christmas and a fun New Years gathering I had. I love the hat my girlfriend got me. Is so snug and warm and stylish, just need to go outside of house more (yes, procrastination and all that). I still need to play Smash Bros. Melee more (can't believe I lost again) and am playing less World of Warcraft now, which is good. That game can be such a time killer.

Semi-dreading the start of school, but have until the 26th of this month, so is still all good. I still hope to draw at least one more deviation before I go back, so I shall see what my brain comes up with. (be scared mortals.. *evil laugh*)

Otherwise, hoping you are all well and had wonderful celebrations.

Yours truly,
Llarth

Nearing half-end

~Llarth — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:50:55 PST

I suppose I should change my journal every once in a while, since it is far overdue.

Firstly, I no longer have a job, to which I can explain to the curious personally.

Second, it is near the end of the first semester of KCAI and the final project is going to be a doozy. -_- Still, I look forward to what will come at the end of all the hard work we put into this first run.

I don't really have much to rant about, but I will say that I send my best wishes to everyone and sending my love to my girlfriend. ;3

Yours truly,
Llarth

Working again

~Llarth — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 19:48:45 PDT

Well, I finally have re-acquired a job. Tis fortunate, and I am very thankful for the opportunity.I am starting to get back in the drawing habit again, so I hope to put several more deviations online soon. Keep up the great art, everyone.

Best wishes,

Llarth

P.S. - Help the eggs hatch, yes?

Not dead yet

~Llarth — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:43:15 PDT

To all those who take time to read my journals and view my page,

No, I haven't completely fallen off the face of the earth, although my art time has become limited due to college (I believe I mentioned that in one of my art pieces). Still, I am doing what I can to put deviations on this account, although it might take me a bit longer than I thought. I have several in the works, I just need more time. Still, I hope you are all doing well and keep up the great art work that you all do so well.

Sincerely,

Llarth

Vacation is over... sob

~Llarth — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 08:23:09 PDT

Well, by the time this is read, I will be back from Thailand and into the regular life once more. I have several deviation ideas in the works, one which is almost done. And another goal of mine is to find out how to work with watercolors. I can't paint; I will say that right now, so it will be quite a challenge.

Otherwise, got some souviniers (hope I spelled that right), had some great times, and will hopefully survive college round 2.

On another random note, I can't believe I have recieved over 1500 page views. I never thought I would get that many. Thank you all of you for your caring *sobs*

Otherwise, *back to straight face* nothing else to report.

Blessed be

Woot! First year done

~Llarth — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:02:17 PDT

At last, my first year of college at NWMSU is now complete. In retrospect, though, it seemed so short. It felt like a sardine can WITHIN a sardine can, but many things were learned and hopefully we become a little wiser from the experience. Admittedly, I thought I would be relieved and smiling at this point, but it really isn't that big of a deal now. I just want some time to draw and read and play WOW for a while. (In short, vegetate. ;3)

Still unsure as to what I will do for next year's college plans. I want to go to Devry and see if I can get some more training there, but we will see, what with scholarships and all that. Anyway, that is all for now. i will try to update more often, if anything key happens.

PS - I might not be online that often from May 11th through mid-June because of annual vacation, but I will try to log on whenever I can.

Waaaaay Overdue update

~Llarth — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 07:40:44 PST

Well, I suppose I should post some news once and a while on DA, so here it is while I have the time.

College is not at all helping me to learn how to manage free time. I tend to force myself to study, and that is a horrible idea to do so. But, I still find time to read and hang with friends. I do have one deviation done and one in the works. That shall, however, be done with consideration to Naka-con this weekend (I hope I spelled that right). I can't wait! I haven't been to a con in ages. (I seriously need a better costime too - I mean Miroku from InuYasha can only go so far).

Need to catch up on sleep and all that, but that can be done later. Oh! Actually, since it is around 9:38 am when I am typing this, I have class in a couple of minutes, I got to go. Hope everyone is doing well.

College #2

~Llarth — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:30:14 PDT

I am sooooo bogged down with work right now that my deviations are very back-logged. Still, I do what I can and intend to catch up! My apologies for not being active on DA for a while, but my social life is quite strained.

Anyway, I shall post other works very soon, and hopefully a new avatar/symbol/thingy.

College

~Llarth — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 13:38:46 PDT

Sometimes, I do feel like hurting some of my instructors, yes? I try to get time to work on my art for a good hour or so, but there is simply too much reading to do in that much time. The history class is bad enough, but then the speech class comes around and adds to the weight of it all. Grrrr....

*sigh* Still, I am still trying to find time to draw and work on my story, which I hope to turn into a game someday. (In relation to that, any suggestions to the story would be VERY much appreaciated). Give me a bit more time to finish the one I am doing, and I will hopefully be back in the art swing very soon.

Graduation

~Llarth — Mon, 21 May 2007 21:01:50 PDT

Goodness. After graduating from high school, everything seems so slow! Sure, sleeping in is great and all, but it only goes so far. *sigh* Oh, well.

Also, my apologies for the double entry of the Scion skin. I wasn't aware of that until 11:00 p.m. on May 21, but a great thank you for all the comments from everyone.

My return

~Llarth — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 20:21:20 PDT

I am back! My computer is finally fixed and now has Photoshop re-installed! I can now do my art again! Huzzah! *looks around, clears throat* sorry, just happy that I am back.

Valentines

~Llarth — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 19:57:57 PST

Ah, valentines day. A day where lovers rejoice and bonds are deepened. A day where passion is tangible in the air and in one's heart. My best wishes of valentines to you all.

MP3

~Llarth — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 14:15:42 PST

Huzzah! My MP3 is back in operating condition. Never again shall I trust a Sony disc, unless it is only to be played on my computer.

Anywho, school is almost to the winter breakness, and I cannot wait. I might actually get a chance to catch up on sleep and other random stuff.

Time

~Llarth — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 18:50:24 PST

I have finally had time to draw some good, emphasis on good, ideas, though I am still looking for some passionate image to go off of. I'll try to get some more cloud shots or something unique. Once I complete my obligatory 7-10 page paper, that is. Anyway, my best wishes to you all.

Dirge

~Llarth — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 13:06:17 PDT

Goodness, Dirge of Cerberus is addictive! You don't really notice the time pass until you look at the clock. The graphics aren't that finalized, but the gameplay has good action.

It's time

~Llarth — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 19:41:17 PDT

The time has come for the beginning of high school once more... a new year with new possibilities. Let us see what lies beyond the veil of uncertainty.

But, on a less serious note, if all things go as the school has told me, I might end up spending the first three hours of the day sitting in the school library. I guess I should take a book, ya? Tee Hee

A long summer

~Llarth — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 11:34:25 PDT

This summer has seemed long. Longer than usual. I don't dread the coming of my Senior year, but I will miss it once it's gone.

This isn't really an official journal entry but it's better than my previous one, which is no longer true.

Arrrgh!

~Llarth — Sun, 21 May 2006 17:29:29 PDT

My f***kin computer won't load any images! Grrrrrr! Give me some time, everyone. I'll have it fixed.

Lost

~Llarth — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 19:59:51 PDT

I find myself more and more inside the world of my mind, wanting to stay there forever. Why can't I be there?

And in other news, I've had some drawing time now, that is if my job doesn't take that precious time away.

My birthday is in 20 days. *thumbs up* Can't wait until then.

Anyone who wants to check out a funny music video, go to youtube.com and type in Ozone. Then, search for the song Ozone - Dragostea Din Tei. It's an awesome song and funny video.

On the way

~Llarth — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 12:21:43 PST

After much computer hastles, I am up to speed on my art.(I finally had some time to draw but I am VERY BORED!!!) Nothing much to say so I'll leave it at that.

Devious Journal Entry

~Llarth — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 17:19:02 PST

I'm having some computer issues right now, but give me some time and I'll submit some stuff.
