Wow, it's been a while since I last updated my Journal. I've been busy with school, which has sort of become the centre of my life. I promised myself I'd start drawing more (I'm pretty good with the skeletal structure now, I need to work on muscles!), but really I haven't. I've also pretty much given up on digital art because drawing on my laptop is painful (imagine drawing on a piece of paper and your hand suddenly paralyzing for 3 minutes). When (IF :< ) I get a new laptop, I'll look into digital art again.

Exams are almost over. :la:
I only have one exam left, and it's a weird school subject which mixes ethics, morals, philosophy and other sciences... I'm excited nonetheless!
:iconhellyeahplz:

Oh yeah, and tomorrow's the first day of December and it's Christmas time! I haven't started doing the gifts I promised yet, and I said I'd bake a cake to my friend's pre-Christmas party. They are common in Finland, and there is no time set as to when you can have one, but most often their held in either towards the end of November or at the start of December. (bit of FINfo for :lol: ) Speaking of the cake, does anyone know any good vegan cake base recipes? I've found a plenty of good ones, but I thought I'd ask. ^^

+about commissions+

I'm open for traditional art commissions.

Pencil on paper - 1 Point, up to three characters. [fan art, OC]
background = +1 Point
Watercolour painting - 3 Points. 1 character and background. [fan art, OC]
Realistic portrait - 3 Points. 1 character [fan art, OCs, celebrities, your photos]
Realistic whole body - 5 Points. 1 character [fan art, OCs, celebrities, your photos]

Art trades are possible, as well. :)

These points will go to my future premium membership subscriptions and to charitable things such as competition prizes and such. :)

After I've finished your order, I'll send you a thumbnail image of the picture, after which you can send the Points to me. You can then do pretty much what you want with it, but please don't sell it to anyone else. Direct them to me instead.

I've got some time to spare so I thought I'd update this pathetic excuse of a journal ;)
I've been okay, but I'm in an art block of sorts... nothing I draw comes out the way I want it to.
So I "acquired" Angela Aki's LIFE album, if you know what I mean. I've also been listening to classical music (though I don't like the term), like Chopin and Wagner. I've even dared to try some opera - I have Pavarotti on my iPod. :la:

Hi again. I haven't updated my gallery a lot, but I've been drawing like crazy. I think I've improved a lot in anatomy and perspective; My faces have become better as well. Aside from that, I've been busy with maths! >v<
Damn equations!

:iconlegaspplz: Why are Angela Aki's albums so goddamn hard to find, let alone buy?

September 10th is the release date of KH: Birth By Sleep here in Europe. I'm so excited! I don't think I have time to play it though, Final Fantasy IX lies nigh untouched on my Memory Stick, and I've yet to play through FF 2 which, by the way, is The hardest. f*ing. game. EVER. Walk a few steps left than what you're supposed to, and BOOM! A tough foe kills you. If you're lucky enough to survive, their paralysing strikes WILL get you eventually. The PSP version has a few neat things though, such as Japanese text.

Hi all. The weather here is messed up, the lakes are almost 10 C above average temperature and we've had heat waves for 3 days in a row... I love it, but it's still weird. I might've actually tanned a little. :lol:

A self-portrait I made in school was selected by our PTA(?) for something. They'll pay me, though, so I don't really care what it is they are using it for. :la:

Hey all. I was just wondering if anyone's interested in trying out a theme-in-progress. My k800 doesn't show colours that well, so I want to check the quality on other cells. Also I need to check the tabs, highlights etc. Anyone with a Sony Ericsson, if you feel like trying themes out then Note me.

In other news, my birthday was last Monday. I got a NIKKOR f/1.8 35mm prime lens. I can't wait to use it tomorrow! I also got some frames to hang my prints.

... and I am already burned out. I wake up at 6:45 AM, eat and drink some coffee, leave to school at 7:20-30 and walk to school. After school my legs are so tired I can barely get myself back home >__>
Enough about that... :)

My Dissidia: Final Fantasy arrived! :dance: I've gotten through Destiney Odyssey with every character, and Firion is lv. 100 (Thanks to the Bonus Day). It's a really fun and addicting game, I've always wanted to kick Tidus' ass with Sephiroth.

Happy 2010. :party:
I took some photos of fireworks, I'll upload them today or tomorrow. :)
I haven't drawn much lately, I've been busy playing FFXII. :D I ordered Dissidia: Final Fantasy, I can't wait to get my hands on it. I downloaded the free demo and it's pretty much the only thing I'm playing on my PSP (not including LBP).

I BOUGHT A TABLET. So expect something once I get used to the weight of the damn pen it's so heavy it hurts my wrist.

Hi. It's almost Christmas but I'm not really in the mood. >: I have an annoying cough and my nose is all runny. Also I couldn't get much sleep last night and I felt like throwing up this morning. :( I'm tired of being at home all the time, hopefully I'll get over this and get back to school soon. :/

I'm probably getting a graphics tablet for Christmas! It's a Trust tablet. Now if I could only get some free space on my hard drive so I could install PS, I have less than 1Gb left XD

Heya. Just wanted to say that I've been busy painting with watercolours which turned out to be half pans. Funny, I bought them under the name watercolours. :/ So anyway, I'm recharging my camera battery so I can't upload any paintings yet. I just drew my first successful realistic drawing of a person, too. :D

I still haven't gotten the new Kingdom Hearts on Nintendo DS, I can't find it anywhere and play-asia.com didn't accept our card. >:

Autumn falls...

Journal Entry: Fri Sep 18, 2009, 1:16 PM


Autumn coming and it's a lot colder outside now... It's annoying because it's not cold enough to wear a thicker coat but not warm enough not to. :| I don't have any "winter" shoes, either. I'll just have to endure the cold for a while, I guess. P:


I'm waiting for the new Kingdom Hearts and that new Zelda game. The Kingdom Hearts seems really interesting, multiplayer KH sounds awesome! And I can't wait to command a Phantom in Spirit Tracks :D Argh, that Dissidia seems awesome, too! Too many games to buy C:


I'm still accepting those sketch requests. I've finished one, and I'm still working on one. I'll finish that iguana soon! :D I'd really like to practice my drawing skills, so you'd be doing me a favour!


Oh, and I lost all my Adobe installs, so no vectors for my 6,000th pageview. :cries: Sorry.

So, we had a running test today. We had to run 2km (1.2 miles) >: I ran it in 13 minutes, which is bad. :/ I'm just glad it's over. Only one running test left, ever! :D

I've been planning a wallpaper pack! I thought of designing them to match the iPod Nano's new colours but I'm not sure if it's possible to change it. :| So until I get an answer I won't start anything.

I'm still working on a theme I was supposed to congratulate my 5,000th pageview with!! >__> I just don't have any inspiration... I have no ideas for wallpapers :>
Also, the contest for my 6,000th pageview is still on! The prize is a kewl vector of any image you like! Isn't that nice? :)

Thank you, my loyal and ever-so-friendly watchers! I know I've been really inactive for a while, but I'm back from my holiday trip now. I promise more art and maybe finally a kiriban deviation! You deserve it. XD Also, I'd like to start a small competition. The person who takes a screenshot of my 6000th pageview wins a great prize! The "winner" will receive a vector image of their preference :>

I suggest you go take a look at Graphics Cat (Not to be confused with graphic scat :|). It's a new ART (not GFX, ART) forum that has place for photography and traditional art, too. Check it out. ;)

I started working on my portfolio (at last :lol:). It's very basic at the moment, [link] , but I'm still learning HTML so once I get better it'll be awesome. :)

School starts next Monday. :eager: I can't wait to see my friends again. I made a promise to myself to take school more seriously this year, last year I had a really laid-back attitude. I left 2 essays unwritten so I got 8 in Finnish even though my test scores were perfect and I would've gotten a 10. :/ So, study to the extreme! :lmao:

I got my Nikon D60 today! It came with an objective and a flashlight, plus we bought a camera bag for it.  :)
I was so sad when I heard that it might arrive after I've gone to Turkey. I was very lucky to get it today.
Some shots:

I also bought Pokémon Platinum. I'm at Veilstone City, and I went to the Game Corner and the new Game Machines are so lame. >__<

I'm going to Turkey on June 17th. :)

SUMMER VACATION
I CAN SLEEP LATE AND DO WHATEVER I WANT!!


I'm getting a Nikon D60. :) The place we ordered it from didn't have any left, but they are ordering me one. They're sending the camera bag first XD I can show off with my brand new Nikon camera bag XD I'm going to Kokkola on June 3rd, and to Turkey on the 17th. >___> I would rather not go, and stay in Finland with my friends and go visit Animecon or something. C: That's not gonna happen, though. :roll: (On a side note, it seems I've reached way over 4,000 pageviews! yay!) I also thought of getting one of those Nanochromatic iPod Nano's. I've lots of money to spend. :lol:

So, I've been doing that kiriban theme for a little while now. I'm done with the wallpaper, I just need to create the tabs and stuff like that. XD

We have a small class trip at Billnäs tomorrow. We have a nice 1½ hour  busride. We'll play Paskahousu (A Finnish card game, similar to Shithead and Bullshit) with my friends, but I'm also taking my DS so I can play with my other friend. Yes, I know it's kinda sad. :)
It sounds like a trip only our teacher will fully enjoy, but at least I don't have to do any homework for tomorrow and we don't have any lessons (except for that image-manipulation short course that lasts one hour >__< )
