And then there's more!

Lordy, lordy, where does the time go? In the past couple of days I made two custom cards for regular exchanges, and yesterday I got a request for a private swap. Then again the weather has been really bad lately (the snow is everywhere...) better off staying inside, making and sending postcards instead of geocaching...wow I can't believe I said that.

"Johnlock" 

For the record, I know zilch about "Sherlock" so I have no idea if this would ever happen between these two, but a guy can dream can't he? Or at least, try to please his recipient. She's into certain fandoms and the johnlock one was the only one I really enjoyed on her tumblr so yeah, long story short, here is me proving I talk too much and can't draw realism. Ja.

"Owl"

And another one for a person who is probably going to hate it, oh well. I gave her stamps and an awesome envelope, you can't complain with that can you? (Well you can but...but...DX) My first time drawing an owl, I think it turned out rather splendid, and it's been so long since I made paper snowflakes. Ah memories, snow is really on my brain lately...

"A Posh Ostrich"

And the one I just finished say, oh half an hour ago? I was requested to make a card for a direct swap, so someone might potentially like my card! Either way, Fancy McFancington Ostrich is his name, I think...I don't know why he's so posh, it just happened. It's tea time somewhere in the world (and 2:35 am here.) So many firsts, first time drawing an ostrich.

More SM (self-made! XD) Postcards

More self-made (SM) stuff |D Just mailed these two yesterday too, so hopefully they both arrive around the same time. (First one going to Germany and the second going to the Netherlands, so... |D ) 

"Winter is Coming" 

This card was also SM too but it was more me cutting and pasting then it was me drawing. But the recipient  didn't mind if someone wanted to draw on their postcard so I did just that. I really love how it turned out too *_* 

"秋"(Fall) 

I found some old Japanese notes of mine, knowing these wouldn't be coming in handy any time soon (and I needed something to draw on) I used the list of countries as my medium so to speak. I was in a bit of a "Japanese mood" either way, I even started to listen to Japanese music again to get the thoughts going and I somehow ended up with this |D I intended to only draw the woman and not everything else, well it looks nice and I hope the recipient likes it DX 

More postcards

So far with postcrossing, I've been having a blast that I started another blog about it. I wonder how long this will last lol

I made 2 more cards, one that I just threw into the post about 20-30 mins ago. Hopefully he likes it, the 2nd person didn't seem to like it lol

"Wild Rose"

This one is supposed to be a wild rose, something this part of Canada is known for...I'm telling you, she didn't like it |D 

"What a Quack!"

So this is the one I just mailed, I hope he likes it. It was interesting to make but the puns are really terrible I'm almost sorry I wrote them... 

These might be the last custom cards I make in awhile since classes are back and I still have to finish the sketchbook...yup this is the last year I swear |D

Post-Animethon '12

Ah animethon is finally over, it was a great weekend and I enjoyed myself immensely. I ended up beating my sales record yet again, so I'm very happy about that. I plan to get a paypal "buy" button up and running soon to make things so much easier for anyone who is interested in purchasing anything.

Also before animethon my sketchbook arrived...it arrived the day before my birthday (Aug 7) but I ordered it back on July 8...does it really take a month to go from the US to Canada? Seriously? T_T As I say every year, this will be the last time! And then I join again next year lol

So here it is, I already penciled in two pages. My experiment this year, isn't going as planned as the book arrived much too late and once September hits all I will be caring about is school.

Also back at the end of July I started something cool called "Postcrossing" so far I got two postcards circulating. Hope I receive one soon |D That being said, any custom ones I make will be uploaded here. (I doubt there will be many since people don't like hand-made cards for some odd reason.) Here is my first one I made, which was received on Aug 13 =D

"Day of the Dead"

Isn't it just shizzy? That's all the news for now. 

APH buttons are ready for sale!

Holy flying tofu Strudel, what happened?! My buttons arrived in the mail yesterday, say what?! Yeah that made no sense, do not worry about it. But yes my buttons that I will be selling at Animethon (and online) have arrived, and they look fa-bu-lous!  Here is the DA link, each button is 1.25" and $2.00 USD. See more at the "For Sale" page at the top.

I apologize this isn't star quality...

Repost: Axis Powers Hetalia dj~ GermanyxPrussia

Not surprisingly it is HungaryxPrussia...sort of. After introducing Romania, I went nuts over HungaryxRomania XD HungaryxPrussia is still uber awesome though! ...well here's some old BL.

The sketchbook...IT LIVES!!!

It has happened! I finally finished my sketchbook! And haven't mailed it yet...

I finished back in December, but for once I actually liked my own work so I was busy documenting it like crazy since I'll never see it again. I'm kinda sad that when it comes back to Canada, it won't be going anywhere near me, or the UK or Australia like promised >|

Anyways here is the front and back covers, I have it all up on deviantart, and here is the rar file too just because the photos I took were nicer looking then the scans I posted on deviantart.

And to re-cap, here is last year's not so awesome sketchbook.

Enjoy =)

Sketchbook Project 2012

Oh yeah it's backkkkk. I had to join this year since this puppy is going worldwide! Too bad it doesn't stop anywhere near me though T_T The theme this year is "I remember you" as a sequel to "I'm sorry I forgot you." I signed up I think maybe 3 days ago? But with the Canada Post strike (these people, really how many times has it been now?) I wonder when it will get here

In other news, in a month I'll have that new house smell all to myself...ah new house |3

Posting up photos once it eventually gets here. I'm sad no colour choices this year

*Update*

I finally got the skebu yesterday, funny postmarked on the 22nd. Either way I kinda feel a little cheated with what I received, glad they got rid of that weird library card, didn't quite get that. Again I feel cheated with the book cuz unlike last year which was a nice moleskin book (those are rather pricey too) we have a simplistic notebook with a cardboard cover. And we still pay the same price? Really? Just cause it's recycled, is it even really recycled? Unlike last year this book has only 32 pages, double-sided so much less then last year which was about 50 pages single sided. Well less "work" I guess.

Ota gone and done

I finished the HungaryxPrussia dj I was talking about a couple of months ago. Unfortunately it wasn't well received. Though if anyone is interested I have copies up for sale just contact me via my deviantart account.

That and my caching blog was a disaster. Oh well.

今日は…

...und so...I have been watching too much of the English dub of Hetalia. Germany is amazing, he is sehr gut lol (er ist sehr gut?) My German is horrible, how on earth does my prof tolerate me?

I started another HungaryxPrussia, this time with words. I'll do my best to finish in time for Otafest (sometime in May.) It would be nice to sell a book~ well if there are leftovers (most likely everything) I'll sell them online, hopefully someone is interested |D I attempted a semi-page, but me and my need to have historical accuracy (which hetalia is not most of the time) I got stuck drawing Prussia. WHY IS PRUSSIA'S EYES SO HARD TO DRAW?! ...really now.

That is all.

*useless post*

I listen to too much German music. Now I'm forcing the world to listen to it too *evil laugh*, nah just hit mute. I won't hate you for it.

For the love of geocaching! Not another MIAT!

MIAT = Micro in a tree.

Have I mentioned my love for geocaching? Maybe, maybe not. I'm updating this entry, as the old entry was about a geocaching blog I failed to keep up. It was dedicated to all the interesting hides out there. If you've never heard of geocaching or tried it I guarantee you will enjoy it unless of course for some reason there is something wrong with you and you just don't like it...but either way, once you've done it a couple of times you will notice the same old boring hides over and over again. Some people have wracked their brains to create interesting hides along with brilliant containers. I encourage you to check out what I've posted so far =) And hopefully I will convert some of you "muggles" into cachers lol.

And thus in place of the old blog, I ended up posting them to pinterest, here is the link of the so far incomplete list of interesting geocaches I have found. Also here is the geocaching site so you can check out this great "sport" for yourself. [I seriously don't think geocaching is a sport...it's like golf almost. How on earth is golf a sport?!]

I have yet to update the geocoin folder...that's another great thing about geocaching. Geocoins! Another fun thing that is all explained on geocaching.com.

Sweet Mother of Toast! I'm done!

Today is Saturday! Well at least on my side of the world it finally is.

I finally finished up the editing of my sketchbook pages, yeah when I mean editing, I mean cropping and make the images a bit easier to see. In general everything is 100% photoshopped lol

Anyways, I had to break down the folders into 3, since skydrive's file upload limit is 50 MB, the entire folder was about 100MB or something like that. Sure I could have went to another online storage site, but I work with what I have I suppose.

I uploaded the front and back cover on the arthouse site plus character summaries of the 3 characters that appear through out the book. Honestly...wish I saw the fiction project first!

Later today, after a session of pho with one of my mates, I'll finally mail this thing off. I feel slightly paranoid about the post times...after checking Canada Post's site, I'm even more paranoid...oh well Monday is another day.

Well more about my sketchbook, I do realize my handwriting can be complete rubbish, so please feel free to ask about what on earth does the text say, or anything of the sort. I did include in the last folder a txt file with the wording of certain pages since some of it is nearly impossible to make out.

Ok no more jabber here are the links (sorry for such tedious conversation):

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

und profile link on arthouse as well as a link to the complete project on deviantart |D

Skebu progress

If someone actually cared that I updated...that would be scary.

Its been quite busy lately and I managed to get the sketchbook done for shipping this Saturday! Finally! I'll upload a zip file with all the pages in it since displaying them all at once would be a pain. Look for me on arthouse's profile, same name.

I also un-officially joined the pockets project too and plan on sending that off the same day as the sketchbook. Can't wait for this thing to start.

Today I got an email about the fiction project...son of a bitch...my sketchbook pretty much fits in that category!

Whatever uploading sketchbook stuff this week.

PS. Japanese isn't good enough yet to start scanning djs. I gave up on Chinese as well.

Bad news =(

Yes bad news indeed, as of this forum entry from MU, it has gotten a bit more risky to be in the scanlation business. Therefore even after only two chapters of scanning, me and Lysen decided to call it quits. Grimms, we think is a manga that may not even make it into English publication, but you never know right? Regardless neither of us are looking for trouble, it was a short affair but a fun one. Thank you to all of those who have read our two chapters of scanlation.  

Well I suppose the good news is, expect doujinshi in the future [no I don't mean the crap I draw.] Doujinshi does violate copyright to an extent, nevertheless the complications behind scanning those and scanning manga done by the pros are far less. So please look forward to that.
