Sorry about the complete lack of attention. I'm doing the senior project thing at school, attempting to make an (incredibly overcomplicated) illustration every week. So until the eighth of April, it looks like i'll be about as scatterbrained as it can possibly get.

No really, I think I'm afraid of the Internet. But whatever, life goes on. EXCITINGLY! A lot's left to happen for the semester to be done and done, but I'm excited for at least three of my finals so far and that's a pretty good ratio.

Anyhoo! Summers coming, grab your flipflops! I'm looking forward to getting back into taking on commissions during the break, so i'll have more information on that probably once it kicks off. In the meantime, school is going to continue to divide my attention like an amoeba, and I am going to continue to be tragically awful at multitasking.

I suck. seriously Im just going to come out and say i suck for not having any updates in like forever, and for letting my gallery implode. awwwggghhhhh =_=.

I have to be quick, but basically this here's Shiro just letting everyone know that nope, im not dead. I'm just seriously up to my armpits in homework an baby unicorns for the time being.

SO art updates here are probably going to slow down for a while.. or I should probably say remain slow, given my latest levels of activity. The good news is I've located a great venue for personal sketching - BEFORE CLASS! Other than that it's not been too promising, as usual, but it's something and it's wonderful all the same!

Whew. Well, time to try and jump back in. Sorry everyone, it's been.. actually pretty awful. In all honesty. I kinda hit a weird funk and everything esploded.. I suppose it was due to happen. But i'm gonna pull it together, one piccu at a time, and hopefully be better at keeping up with everything this time.

I love Yume Nikki. Iiiits probably my favorite thing right now. And I made a lot of really retarded doodles about it, and I'm going to clean them up and post them later. HEE. Yume Nikki is a scary little free-downloadable game about a little girl who wanders around in her subconscious, collecting abilities for some purpouse that I have not discovered yet.
