NOW I can get back to doing artwork, when I've had some sleep, nackered Joe is worn out ._.

Moral of the story ... if it aint broken, don't fix it.

I had my motorbike theory the other day, under the new rules. Despite going into the test centre, ready to fail and book it again ... I actually passed. I was very suprised with that too seeing as none of the questions that came up were based on anything I'd revised whatsoever.

I have my new motorbike waiting for me in the garage ... just gotta do the final part and pass before I'm let loose on the roads ... on a bigger bike

On that note, I think its time I cracked out the pencils for some sketching!

Another issue thats arisen for me is that I'm gonna try and go back to drawing the old way, and ... I intend to have a go at drawing people again. I used to have a semi defined style but I lost it somewhere and need to find it again.

I dunno how often I'll be updating my gallery with all of the little bits and bobs going on in my life right now but I'll try my best to keep on drawing away.

I have a Wacom digital tablet, lying under my bed, collecting dust and I'd like for it to go to a good home where its gonna actually get some use.

Its not very big, its about the size of a normal mouse mat.

I don't have the box for it, I do have :
Wacom Tablet
Wacom Digital Pen tool
Wacom Digital Mouse
Corel Painter Essentials Software (Painter 2)

Now I've asked Dynamo if she wants it and she would like it, however, giving out personal details on the net, such as address etc, to a stranger (me lol) is'nt always easy for some people.

If Dynamo can't take it from me, then its up for any other club member, so if you're interested or whatever, leave a comment and then anything else can proceeed via e-mails if need be.

Just seems a waste having it lying around, and I'm never going to use it, and I'm in a good mood lately.

Its not very often things go well for me so I'm waiting for a massive cloud of bad luck to come flying at me from nowhere sometime soon lol.

I finally got Infinite Justice done at last, I was also able to catch up on a load of lost sleep too. Thanks everyone for the nice comments on it, and thanks for putting it up in the club gallery

I will be doing more in a similar style, next on my list as decided with Gadget, is the Wing Zero (Endless Waltz version), so expect to see a WIP of that fairly soon.

I will soon be the proud owner of a new motorbike, much love to my family for helping me out with the money once again. All I have to do is take my motorbike test, pass it, and then sell my Honda CG125 while I blitz around on my pristine little Honda CBF250, can't wait !!!

We have a new boss at work, and despite hearing nothing but bad things about him, he's actually turned out to be very good, I was worried that I'd lose my managerial posistion with him being around but he's merely there to help keep everything back on track and take some load off of our shoulders.

I've had a great time this weekend.

I went over to my mates where we did the usual happy grass and randomness, coming up with crazy ideas and stuff as always. I then woke up stupidly realy in the morning and got on my motorbike and blitzed home after doing a few laps of the area.

As soon as I got home, I put my motorbike into the garage and wheeled out my old motorbike thats currently dead ... onto a trailer to take down to my nan and granddads.

My granddad is insanely good with machines and is adamant that he'll get my old motorbike running again ... I must admit, despite its old classic look, it would be nice to give it one last ride again, for old times sake hehe.

My granddad purchased a brand new 19" flatscreen monitor but sold it to me because he now uses a laptop rather than a desktop, so I got a new super awesome monitor for nearly nothing (goodbye old nearly dead dell monitor )

Then on the way home with my step dad, he gave me some of the best news I needed to hear.

When I pass my proper motorbike test, I have my eye on my next bike to move up to ... and it so happens his friend at work, has the very same bike I'm after, nearly new, done a mere 2000 odd miles on it, excellent condition, no longer used ... and my step dad is willing to lend me the extra money I'd need, assuming I get off my lazy ass and do my test >_<

So I can say goodbye to my CG125 and move on up to a nice CBF250

Man this weekend has been great, and despite how tired I am, and despite how much this monitor is blinding me (argh my eyes) ... I will now crack on with some artwork, I was on a roll this morning till I had to leave.

Laters Everyone //_^

Ok so today was'nt so bad at work, it was merely boring, we had too many staff and I had trouble finding work to pretend to do hehe.

Apparently on monday our big high up boss dude is employing a new manager ... I'm not looking forward to it and have a feeling we'll clash.

Either way atleast I'll be able to give him my trademarked "Death Glare O_O" and hopefully I can freak him out enough that he leaves.

Off to my nan and grandads on sunday to see if he can fix my old motorbike so I can sell it.

Now then, seeing as Dynamo filled this in and listed my name at the bottom, I guess its only polite I do the same //_^

-

1.What's a commonly used nickname people call you by?
It used to be Trowa, due to my love of heavy artillary, and the fact that in computer games online, I don't aim, I just shoot wildly till I'm out of ammo, like trowa......however these days I go by Strike.

2.What's your favorite color?
Tough choice, but I've pretty much always liked Blue, its my birthstone colour too.

8.Do you cry easily?
Depends on the situation, I aim to be pretty blank towards emotional stuff but sometimes personal things can upset me...however if its physical pain, I normally just say something along the lines of "ok this kinda hurts and I am now going to scream..." before screaming lol.

9.Do you generally have a good, loving family?
Its complicated...I have'nt seen my brother in six years, I've not seen a lot of my family for most of my life due to problems they caused me in the past. Those I do see are few in numbers, but they're always there.

Nope, last girl I was with tried to mess with my mind but failed. My personality does'nt do me any favours either ... too nice for my own good, but too quiet too.

16.Do you like school?
I only enjoyed art lessons and english lessons, other than that I could'nt wait for the bell to ring at home time hehe.

10: 18:15

19.Are you on the computer a lot?
Yes would be an understatement ... My computer is a part of me hehe.

20.Pet hermit crabs- a good thing or a bad thing?
Bad.

21.Lefty or righty?
Lefty, because I'm an awkward strange little person.

22.Do you have any scars/stretch marks/etc?
I have a scar from a microwave incinerating my arm, and I have two scars from a motorbike accident, but thats it.

Pointy I guess, I'm pretty slim so ... lol

24.Timmies or Starbucks?
None, because I don't drink hot drinks whatsoever.

I woke up sleepy as hell, trundled my way to work behind a seemingly never ending army of extremely slow drivers, and when I finally get to work, the phone rings with people calling in sick leaving me with very few staff.

Ontop of that we've only just got over the flood problems in our area so I had a lot of work to get sorted and caught up on, and with very few staff thats always difficult, so now I'm really tired and nackered.

I finally got out of work after finishing the paperwork and as I just get to where I park my motorbike, some guy comes around the corner and says "Hey, is that Honda CG 125 your bike"? with a worried look on his face.

My heart skipped a few beats, I feared that somebody had stolen it, or it had been knocked over ... lucky for me this was'nt the case, the bloke just wanted to ask me about the bike.

Unfortunately I'm too nice to people for my own good and I was there talking to some random guy about my bike for nearly two hours.

I'm trying to crack on with my Vector of the Infinite Justice Gundam, whilst trying to fend off sleep...in other news there is a rabbit at the bottom of our stairs //_^

I finally decided to set up an account here in order to keep all of my vector art in one nice tidy place. I'm very tired right now so I'll keep this post short because I tend to rant.

I look forward to getting to know this community in the future.

-

Current WIP : Infinite Justice Gundam, from the anime series, Gundam Seed Destiny.

I got a picture of my model and decided to try creating a vector of it in Inkscape. So far I have completed all of the lineart and added extra detail here and there aswell as fixed a few issues I had. I am aiming to get this coloured soon however I'm not sure what I'll do with it after its completed.

Here's to hoping the colouring turns out ok in the end, still getting used to vectoring to be honest.

Anyways, no rest for the wicked!

Bye for now //_^
