Letting go...

Hey guys =D
Just said goodbye to my Sumy on the phone and it's occurred to me that DAMN...I should be in the car behind her going to Bath too. Sad times.
BUT. no regrets. no regrets allowed in this life. It's too short for that. Only look forward and pray this detour on the straight path I was travelling on leads me to a better, more exciting place. This reminds me of the game, Snakes and Ladders. You gus still have the old board game from decades ago?? haha. Landed on the wrong box and steped foward one while taking 2 steps back.

The laptop is about to burn a hole into my mattress.....>_<"

I've been having a mega Disney saga lately. Downloaded the sountracks of the classics and it's actually given me so much inspiration. Done quite a lot of sketches....coming up with new compositions.
Now all I need is to improve my anatomy and background work and I'm set. So cross fingers?? I'm still trying to sieve out a style that I'm fairly comfortable with and work it all out from there. Then I can start selling and stuff. HOPEFULLY. That is afterall the plan for the rest of the year.

NOTE. I'm slowly withering away. The personal statement has never been more a monster in my entire life. It's actually come back with more rigour and fight in it than I last remembered. It's haunting me. O_O"
I don't know why I'm finding it so difficult to lay down what I want to say. I guess I'm not good at expressing myself formally to others. sigh.
I WANT TO GO TO BATH. I swear down..I said I wouldn't regret...but bloody hell it's getting harder everyday. But I guess the good part is I have  free year (half year cause of retakes) and I can concentrate on the art that I've been negleting for these last few years. Soooo bare haps there =D

Well...I guess it's time I get back to it. It's late...but I've been procrastinating again and damn I just wanna send it off ASAP. So ta my lovelies.

Update soon....I promise...hopefully haha.

Teach that baby.

Ah man..I think my wrist is about to fall off. Was revising today and ya know me, can't stay focused for more than 20 mins, which is quite dismal actually....but mehh.
So went to watch Step Up 2, and got in the groove to do some break. I ain't practiced since May before exams...and I'm a REAL beginner so thought I would never see the lights of simple baby again but WOH. After a few practice runs I managed to do it once more EEE. Got my SLOW 6 step and some CC's...some stuff I thought would never come back to me cause my balance and top body strength has tumbled down hill...(I can't do even one pressup.....I know..0_0)

Haha I've been damn excited all day.
Wanna see the failures?? BLEH. check it out.

Failure 1:                                              Collapse 2:


Failure 3:


AND OMG FINALLY:



hmm I'm pretty much self teach by watching mates and them youtube tuts...so if I'm doing something wrong please tell me...I hardly know any of the safety measures...so for all I know I could be really damaging my  wrist and neck.

haha just thought I'd share my amazement with you all xD ...=]
Right..well I guess I'm gonna catch some shut eye. Everyones off to uni now and there's only a few stranglers left, I'm feeling butt lonely sulking at home. Might as well make the most of it I guess...."sighh".

Nights then my lovelies.

Righty hoo.

Yo dudes! how've you all been doing?? I've been a little disheartened today since I heard one my family members say that, and I quote, "not getting even one A when I go to the almighty Henrietta Barnett was a tad crap/bad."

Gee thanks. Much appreciated. Way to boost a gal's self esteem. I can take lectures and crap from my parents because that's just they're way of showing they care but dude..you ain't even an immediate family member. It just really saddens me when I hear people say that. As if they're implying that I've been spoonfed information from a gold plate (allow silver) on how to pass exams since I could walk.

Gah ANYWAYS. That slap in the face aside.

I was browsing pdf files on the internet looking for some inspirational art viewpoints and came across "Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes volume 1 by Walt Stanchfield", and gosh, I definitely recommend this book to amateur and professional artists looking for guidance, or just as a reference point really. Specialising in Disney's animation studio, he's got such great advice on story telling and graphic communication. I'm really sorry that I don't have the link to the pdf...my computer decided to end it's life while I was still reading through the file GAH. TT__TT and I can't seem to locate it again.
But thank god I wrote the name down. Searched it up on Amazon and new copies of the book cost a whopping £20...but the used and abused section slashed it to just below a tenner I think. If I'm wrong...I'm sorry =S.

However, if your strapped for cash no pro. Central London accomodates for all ;] haha. Nah, there's loadsa comic book stores that you could hit up, but the one I go to is called 'Forbidden Planet'. Closest station..hmm Leicester sq? I usually just walk from there. Google map it. 179 Shaftesbury Av. Bottom floor is the one you want.

THIS is what I want to get my hands on..been time since I've seen spidy and spider-woman together. =]Good composition. <3

PLUS. I've been working on a few sketches and cleaned up this one a tad:

Hmm...I'm not sure what's wrong..but she just seems a bit stumpy to me..but ahh a sketch right ;]. heh =]

Anyways...though it is late in the night I've got to get back to stats. =_=. goddamn that unit. Makes my head hurts every time I see it.

So ciao for now.

Kick in the right direction.

Hello my lovelies <3 I just spent the last hour finishing this pic off. I've had the sketch for yonks and never got round to doing the proper lines. heh =P


Koukou Debut: Kiss by ~Kaywaii-T on deviantART

Prints are welcomed...though I'm still searching for good deals...someone hook me up with a good print shop?? =] pretty please =} it'll be very much appreciated.

Sigh...I've been going mad on twitter HA...and my personal statement is STILL hanging by threads TT__TT. I hate writing that thing, WHYY OH WHYYY do we have to do it. But hopefully all goes well this time round ehh.

BY THE WAY. Tune in to J.S.Campbell's LIVE draw here. It's just like an insight into how he thinks, his compositions, how he basically goes about doing what he does best. --> from the world of MARVEL COMICS. <3

Hope you're all well, I've not been in the mood to entertain today, dunno why, sorry m'dears. So I guess it's goodbye for now. =]
Muchooooo amor

Oh September...

Bloody Hellll!!!!. =_=" For the past 2 hours I've been trying to push my new WIP title up there to the left so it spans out the width of the screen...but no..blogger has decided that today was the day it would make my life difficult.
I won't even begin to explain how much I hate html right now and how it won't do my bidding. *sigh* someone please help me...I think Ive gone through enough trail and error to last for a long while. Ive managed to push it to the left when I edit the 'outter wrap' in 'Edit html', but then the ENTIRE page is pushed to the left =_=. how DUMB. I can't seem to shift the posts right after that!! GAHHHH! I want the posts to remain in their CURRENT position and for the header to start off completely to the left. No outter wrappig business going down or, padding...or what ever crap they have decided to name it.
*breathe*

*pheww*

right.
Can you believe it's september??..TT__TT" I can't either. Why is time flying so quicly when I don't want it to?? It's not like I'm even trying to preoccupy myself with anything at home. I thought time was supposed to go SLOWLY when you're bored??...hmm guess not then =S.
Well...it's almost 3 AM ..internet signal's been giving me the finger lately...it's clearly had enough of me..haha
so ciao while this still works. =]
much love
