Scanny is ressurected! I can actually start posting art again! DD

...Would be better if I actually had something of worth to post...

Ah, will try to rectify this at the weekend - I have grand plans, grand plans indeed. *pseudo-ebil laughter alert*

Or you could give me ideas - ideas are good!

So...good morning to everybody. ^_^;

Manifest is in just over a fortnights time! And yes, I am going again. Third year running. Sounds dorky, but this is the highlight of my year, and the only thing I really look forward to. Gonna buy up a storm hopefully - I have a nice little amount of money I have alloted to buying stuff, and shopping just makes me...happy.

So who's going to be there this year? To all those going, hopefully will see you there! ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/8771849/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/8771849/ Sun, 14 May 2006 19:07:09 PDT
So it may be a while before I submit any new works. At least until I (a) get the scanner repaired (but methinks it may be unrepairable T_T), (b) buy a new scanner, or (c) finally suck my breath in and get a proper drawing tablet. Not that I've been really doing anything lately to warrant putting anything up anyway. ^_^;

Goodbye Scanny (1998-2006). We had a short time but a good time. Rest in peace, my friend. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/8013276/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/8013276/ Sun, 26 Feb 2006 21:43:26 PST
Have a nice day, y'all. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/7877717/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/7877717/ Sun, 12 Feb 2006 20:17:24 PST
Working on four pieces - two cg coloured versions of older works, another fantasy-based work, plus a majorly inticate piece that will probably take forever to draw, plus another eternity to colour in. But I'm determined to only post it on here when it is perfect. I suck at colouring. ^_^;

Other than that, nothing. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/7840883/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/7840883/ Wed, 08 Feb 2006 19:20:07 PST
The journal, however, is still going to be getting a BIG overhaul. I've sent almost all of my sketches (apart from the ones I'm really happy with) into Scraps. The rest that were kept in my main gallery will only have a short lifespan though. I've decided to completely do away with any pencil sketches in the future, as I feel cging and inking works will be my main focus. Besides, pencil pieces mess my hands up like whoa. XDDD ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/7830352/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/7830352/ Tue, 07 Feb 2006 16:09:31 PST
I guess it's the feeling of inadequacy on my part. I go through so many accounts and see some gorgeous pieces, then look at their entire gallery and see that they look like they've been drawing and colouring pieces so well, seemingly from the very beginning. And it makes me feel like my skills suck in comparison. ;_;

In other news, work is going fine. For all those who don't know, I got meself a promotion of sorts in the last few weeks. Yes, now I am the co-manager of volunteers and Work For The Dole participants. Which basically means...well, just paperwork. But it kind of feels good to be somebody of semi-authority.

New submission uploaded. Part of a series of sketches experimenting with different expressions. More of a reference for myself, but maybe, just maybe, there will be some colouring involved in the future, hmmm?

New sketch - possible coloured one - will be submitted in the next few days. God I wish I had copic markers. ;_; ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6949473/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6949473/ Thu, 03 Nov 2005 22:34:47 PST
Well, I'm off to mums now so hopefully I'll be more active in the next few weeks. *dies as she realises it's been 6 months since her last submission, ouch* ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6719633/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6719633/ Sun, 09 Oct 2005 09:32:37 PDT
Especially if it involves Sasame.

Lol, loser am I.

Looks like my Pretear kick is gaining strength, getting huger and huger...it's insane! XD ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6357458/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6357458/ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 06:51:00 PDT
Speaking of which, who's going to the con? And is anyone cosplaying this year? I'll be going as Sound Pretear from Pretear (duh!), first cosplay outfit as well, so I'm kind of nervous...

Hope you all have a great day. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6249851/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/6249851/ Wed, 17 Aug 2005 05:56:48 PDT
I'll probably throw up tomorrow out of sheer nervousness as well.

For those who don't know, I'm going to a job interview tomorrow morning, the first one I've had in many a year. Only now it seems, after finishing TAFE, am I even remotely employable. XD

Well, wish me luck. And hopefully I may just put pencil to paper and draw something in celebration. Or disappointment. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/5761831/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/5761831/ Sun, 26 Jun 2005 11:56:18 PDT
TAFE is almost over, so that means hopefully I can go back to drawing and stuff, and actually putting something up on this gallery. But I need inspiration! C'mon people, tell me what I should draw!

Now I return you to your regular scheduled programming. And my regular scheduled sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/5325373/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/5325373/ Tue, 10 May 2005 22:55:51 PDT Listening to: m-flo loves EMYLI - DOPAMINE

*sigh*

I wish I didn't have to do TAFE so that I can get back to my art.

I really wish I had chosen an art subject rather than IT - that would've helped heaps.

Looks like I won't really be submitting anything new until I finish my course. That bites.

*sighs again and goes back to studying*

Lol, I need to start posting piccies of my bishies! Or at least start drawing piccies of bishies.

Later guys. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/5094450/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/5094450/ Fri, 15 Apr 2005 10:31:43 PDT
Aurgh, I still haven't finished that cute lil lolli inspired girl yet, I just haven't been motivated, nor have the time, to continue drawing her. Until now.

<3 cookie dough. ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/4950064/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/4950064/ Wed, 30 Mar 2005 07:11:09 PST
...

...especially since I've been neglecting the homework, OH THE SHAME! >_<

So I haven't been able to do much drawing, OH MY GOD. >_<

I have begun on a new piece, I'm hoping to finish it soon. It's probably the cutest piece I've done for a while. Inspired by gothic lolita! Well, sweet lolitas...ah well, you'll see it when I'm finished with it.

Must go to sleep now, homework has really tired me out. Later.

And yes, as promised, I updated! I may put another piece up in the next few days, 'kay? ]]> ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/4886998/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/4886998/ Wed, 23 Mar 2005 01:27:40 PST ~sweetxia http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/3337446/ http://sweetxia.deviantart.com/journal/3337446/ Sat, 11 Sep 2004 05:58:56 PDT
