Hey, everyone! :) My art is in a game! :D A visual novel to be more specific. I did the CG art for the game Pinewood Island. Check it out on  itch.io if you're interested ^_^

So, for a while my wrist had been getting sore from drawing/using the computer. I didn't think it was that bad though, but I decided to to make sure I took more breaks. However, that wasn't enough, and looking back I realize why. Mainly my breaks were bad because it mostly involved me not actually giving my wrist a break, such as playing video games, or just browsing the web or whatever. I wasn't giving my wrist enough support either, so that was also a problem. It didn't help too that I didn't take any breaks whenever I was doing 3D modeling homework.

Anyways, what ended up happening was I hurt my wrist really bad (a repetitive stress injury). I ended up getting tingling in my hand and lost partial feeling in my fingers (not a lot though, but still not good). So I took a break from drawing and also tried to not use my right hand for anything else, or at least as much as I could. I also bought a wrist brace and took some anti-inflammatory medication. I'm at about 2 weeks now since I hurt it bad (my doctor said to give it 2 weeks). It's feeling better now. Well, I don't feel any tingling really, and my fingers don't feel any numbness, but my wrist still hurts quite a bit so that worries me :/ I'm definitely going to be careful and not rush back into using it a bunch. I'll probably just draw simple sketches to start and only draw for a short time, and give myself lots of breaks when doing my homework (though I'm kind of worried about falling behind >__<). This week I'm off though so I'm trying to give it as much rest as I can.

Well, hopefully it heals up soon. I really want to get back to arting. Making art is like therapy for me ;o; I keep seeing really cool stuff that inspires me and then I want to draw but I can't :'( And whenever I'm feeling bad I often draw to get rid of my frustration, buuuut I can't really do that >___< Eating good food helps keep my spirits up though '0' which I should be doing anyways so I heal faster >.> Playing video games is also a nice distraction. My left hand has been getting a workout from having to pick up all the slack :p (actually it's been getting a bit sore sometimes too, but not too bad <.<) I think I should be able to get back to work soon though :>

Yusss!! :V I finished school for this year. I'm so excited o.o I have a lot of projects and art planned for the break. You guys should be seeing some more ambitious pieces from me in the near future as I try and build up my portfolio, so look forward to that b: I'm probably going to do a few more Ocarina of Time environments as well as some character and creature design challenges b: I wanna increase a bunch of my skills :u 

Well, that's all... Woop, woop! 8U *hops away*

Hey, everyone! '0' I just felt like making a journal entry. Things have been going pretty good lately. Ever since Christmas break I've been feeling really good and really energized, and I think I know one of the reasons why. I've been getting lots of sleep. '____'

Last semester was really intense. I think I handled it better than most of my previous semesters though. I actually kept a scheduler for once o.O And I didn't lose all motivation when exam time came around. b: However, I was always really exhausted and a bit moody and it was really hard to get any creative work done. :/ Buuut, in my new semester almost all my classes are late classes! '0' Which means I can get plenty of sleep, because I am a major night owl and it's really hard to break the habit. >.>  

Anyways, with getting enough sleep I've been feeling really energized and awesome! *dances* I've been having lots of fun working on creative projects too and it's great. :D

Also, another improvement to my life that I've had is that I got a lovely new software for art :B Ever since I got Manga Studio/Clip Studio Paint doing art has been sooo much easier (ESPECIALLY INKING!!!). I love it so much. ;o; It's made working on comic work so much easier >:D (you can read the comic here~ part-timevillains.thecomicseri…)

Overall, stuff is pretty sweet. ^_^

Hello everyone! Guess what!?

Today I finally published my webcomic! :dummy: I've been working on it over the summer with my boyfriend (he does the writing while I do the art).

There isn't a lot of it yet, but you can read the first five pages here. part-timevillains.webcomic.ws/

I hope you enjoy :nod:
