Need some motivation to keep drawing ( I am supa dupa lazy :< ) So I am gonna start writing a manga, for fun. The story is just something quick I have pulled out of my head, based on my favourite style of anime manga: MAGIC GIRL MANGA. !! <3

Anyway here is the plot, I will flesh it out more on paper so I don't ruin the story if anyone gets into it.

Aria loves music, her grandfather was a famous violinist and she used to spend her childhood at his farm in the mountains listening to him play, and learning to play herself, until suddenly her parents got into a disagreement when she was still quite young and she was banned from visiting anymore. One day she gets a letter in the mail, she is sad to learn that her grandfather recently died, and she has been gifted with his antique violin. At first she thinks it is an ordinary violin, however as she begins lessons to relearn the violin after so long, she finds out that it is actually a magic violin, and that playing the violin allows her to see spirits, and make friends with them. As she discovers more about these new spirit friends, she begins to suspect there is more to her parents disagreement with her grandfather than she initially thought, and worse now that her grandfather is passed away she needs to become the new protectors of the spirits!

RAWR!!! more to come !! lol xD

something like this anyway.... :< its hard to put together a story that works

I'd love to be able to draw digital art as well as my favourite artists here on deviantart in the future.

It's really funny reading my journals from almost a year ago.

I am finally on the other side of the line, working fulltime at the job i worked so hard for four years at uni to get.

I feel a little bit nostalgic when I read about 'the stress of exams'. It's funny how I thought work would be more peaceful, when now I am probably worrying about 'the stress of my next deadline'.

hehe

It's also funny that instead of drawing anything or doing anything that I said, I started playing wow and got addicted to that for a long time.

Hopefully I can post more and improve from here...

I would really like to work on some low-poly 3d modelling. Let's see how it goes!

...which remind me, deviant art has change a lot too, taking me a bit of time to get used to the new layout...

Yeah so I am in exam period now but I'm not too worried.

I am finding after the stress of the assignment period I am fairly burnt out. I should be getting on with things, study, drawing etc. But still haven't... well 1 week isn't so bad is it? ;

I will upload that other drawing soon...........

On another note im playing with the CSS... this is just five minutes of playing around with [link]
I plan to do a better version in the future when I have more time

*side note: the image was something my bf drew for me on the fly and i thought it was cute and decided to use it as a standin til i make something proper*

I used to play Ragnarok Online, but I got to a really high level in that game and . I don't think I can be bothered trying to get to a high level again. :3

I went browsing around to try and find something fun and I found this game Trickster
[link]

The graphics are really colourful and cute, and the game play seems to be similar to RO.

I think I am going to make a Sheep at first since they seem really cute, and they are casters too which I usually find really fun in games.

I am almost finished the book I have been reading, The Immortal Prince, which has been taking up a lot of my free time lately, so I haven't drawn anything recently
I really want to but university is really busy at the moment and I am struggling to get all my assignments done.

*Evilness is that I am sending my boyfriend to the bookstore tomorrow to buy the next book!! I better draw something tomorrow before I get it! lolz*

One of my worst problems with 'doing anything' is that I am only good at 'doing anything' for a short while before I get bored.

I guess thats because I have a frivolous and impulsive nature.

If i related this to games, basically I enjoy level 1-10 of 'doing anything', and then I start to get bored and lose motivation, so I 'cheat' by splurging on some overpriced items that I don't really need in a shameless attempt to reach the max level... and then when I have ... I get bored and move onto my next 'anything' with an overall feeling of dissatisfaction.

You can probably see why this is a problem... I never master anything, I am always getting bored of 'doing anything', my failure to succeed at 'doing anything' makes me lose confidence and it really hurts BOYFRIEND'S BANK BALANCE. *poor him*

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

My solution...?

Well erm... I don't really know what the solution is to my problems
I am sure lots of people have these issues...

It is probably how God succeeds in giving us 'talented' and 'untalented' people.

I guess I have some thoughts on what I want to try so i can be more organized and not lose motivation, but I guess I don't feel confident enough to share them here yet
