I've recently rediscovered how much I enjoy Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame's soundtrack. I had an orange cassette tape when I was younger with a sing-a-long book, and I listened to it all the time. I should get that on CD...

Well, I wanted to update on what I've been up to lately. Unfortunately, the art has been lagging behind just a bit. But that's because I've been focusing my creative energies on trying to finish a cosplay in time for a convention on the 19th. It's about 75% done, and I've got just over a week left.
It's Prof. Claus F. Lester from Tales of Phantasia, by the way. This is my first time making legit clothes from scratch but I think it's coming out pretty nicely. Hopefully it all comes together like I plan.

So between cosplay making and on-the-side art projects, my work schedule should be finalized soon. I need one more training session (hopefully this week) and then I can start regular shifts. That'll take up even more time, but I'm making sure I get off for the convention weekend.

I think after the con is over I'm going to treat myself to some Super Sculpey clay and try my hand at model-sized sculpturing. I have original Sculpey at the moment that I use to make small charms, but it's not very easy to make large, detailed models out of. I have tentative plans to make maybe an 8-inch tall character model, just for fun. 8D

In between, I also need to finish my Avatar group project XD I will get it done eventually, even if it waits till school starts again. I'm trying to get it done before that, though.

Alrighty, I'm off. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!

Greetings from ImagiNation Land!

Just thought it was time to update my journal. Might I point out that at the moment I also have an even 3,700 pageviews. All of which are much appreciated! (at some point I hope to start doing kiriban thank-you art >.< )

I have a bunch of projects on my to-do list. I think my first priority will be to design a shirt for my hall- which I still have very little idea of how to go about it. After that (or during or before) I should really finish coloring the logo for my friends' band. But I don't know how I feel about the design so I have no motivation to finish it if it's not going to look good. Ah well.

Then finally, with the completion of our Avatar: The Last Airbender series marathon I shall get started on a special pic for my Avatard friends. We're all going to be benders in the Avatar universe 83 That'll be a lot of fun, I just have to get it done in the next month.

That's all for now!
Peace.

Where else will you find Uryuu Ishida playing his heart out on first chair violin while Rukia Kuchiki plays piano, Zelos Wilder on symbals, Ryuk on cello, Link on oboe, and Kratos Aurion on trumpet (next to Captain Jean-Luc Picard)?

Hahaha I am having such a great time with Wii music XD

I JUST UNLOCKED THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!! yayyyyy!
