Hi everybody!
Thought it's probably time to update. I haven't necessarily done much in the way of arting, but the seed is germinating again and I'll be back at it-- Especially because I really need to update my portfolio for applying to school. xD
But, anyway... I've had so much support here, that I thought it could only be fair if I update everybody on where I'm at in my life.
So, without further ado, here's what's going on:
1) Lovelife. So, I've ended up in a fairy tale romance of happiness, which is truly amazing and exactly the opposite of the abuse/control that I'd been dealing with for 6 years... I really feel like I'm with a guy who I can be around for a long time, and be myself with, and it's amazing and weird how wonderful it is. So, that turned out great for me!
2) School. I've decided to go back to school, for sure, for game art and design. Probably will end up going to Toronto for a 2 year course, and it comes with an internship-like opportunity at the end, which is awesome. But, of course-- You get what you put in. The curriculum was ideal, though, and the price is right, AND it's a college I've actually been to before for an unrelated program (Journalism), so it's kinda like coming back full circle, which is neat. Just need to
3) Work. I'm working at a call centre now with tech support for Apple. You'd think that'd be scary, and it was for the first couple of months. But, I've started getting into it and I'm a) Really good at talking to people. b) Extremely patient. C) Really good at working with computers. So, yeah. That's awesome.
4) Art. Uh... When I do screenshares with people at work, I tend to doodle a bit to entertain them while we're waiting for things to load. Beyond that, I've done a portrait in pen of my boyfriend, which I left at his parent's place, and little things here and there. I'm going to be ordering some new pencils. Any advice on good ones?
And that's about it. xD So, I'm alive, and everything is fine. I just need to start updating my actual artwork soon. I might just start by looking at other people's and commenting on it for awhile. xD
Anyway.. Peace in.
