Like I mentioned last time… I moved today to a new apartment with my boyfriend! :D

I’m really excited about it! It feels kind of weird to leave the nest, though… there are so many things I’ll miss! (note: over here people usually don’t leave their parent’s home when they go to college, but when they get married or just whenever they feel like it and they can afford it xD).

I don’t have a desk yet, I need to buy one, since my old one is too old and big and it doesn’t fit ^^; I’ll do that sometime next week. I have all my work stuff, though, so I’ll be able to work even without a desk (:

The apartment is a mess and we’re still missing a few things (like food xD), but we’re happy ^^
I miss my cat and my puppy though >_< I’m bringing them next week, though!

I’ll leave you some pictures here. I took a bunch, but most of them are super ugly, I suck at taking pictures “Orz.

I haven’t posted in a while, sorry about that ^^
I’ve been idiotically busy with stuff Dx

From working on this local game I can’t talk about yet, the project for my VG course (I passed! yay! :D I need to go fetch my diploma <3), and then TPF, commissioned stuff and of course life! So many things going on @_@

So about my life, if you follow me on twitter you’re probably up to date xD;

I adopted a new puppy a month after Vriska passed away, her name is Martina and she’s adorable and mischievous <3 I’ve had her for a month now ^^ I want to take her with me to the new place I’ll be living in, but I’m told she’ll grow bigger than I expected, so I may have to return her to my mom’s place later >: I’m still taking my cat Serafin with me, though.

Then, last week, I found this really injured boxer on the street that I just couldn’t leave there >>; So I took her to the vet for surgeries and I’m taking care of her at home now until she recovers so I can find her a new home (:  She’s really sweet! Her name is Antonia :P (I get complaints because I name the dogs with people’s names xD; ) She’ got her left eye removed, though, maybe that’ll be a con for people looking to adopt a dog >: Still, it’s been a complicated but very rewarding experience to rescue her and take care of her ^^

On top of that, I’ve been apartment hunting with my boyfriend for about 3 weeks. And it’s been awful Dx We got our hopes up with many apts.  and then a couple of days they’d call us to tell us they rented it already to somebody else or they gave us a lot of grief because my bf’s dad would be renting in our name since we didn’t have enough job antiquity or the 4 x rent income they asked for X_x
But we finally found and apartment! This Saturday our parents will go sign all the papers and we’ll move in by the 15th.
We’re so excited! :D
I can’t wait to furnish that apartment already >w< *loves looking at furniture and stuff xD*
I’ll take and post pictures when we move there C:

And I’ll also be teaching some classes in June and then later on in… August I think? Its for a VG course, i’ll be in charge of the art module, hehe ^^

Project-wise, TPF is almost done art-wise for real this time xD;
I resumed work on and off on Blue Rose coloring and next week I’ll resume Yousei sprite work.
I’m looking forward to moving to the new apt. and have a peaceful corner to work <3
Other than that, I need to finish some *really* overdue commissioned sprites from LSF @_@, find time to get the Swan’s Melody art done (I’m so sorry for not being able to do that yet ;___;) and then find some more time to work on Hope~

Lots of work to do! XD I just need to organize my time better! Lately, with the puppy, the apartment hunt and the rescued dog I’ve had my time reduced dramatically and I lose momentum quickly due unexpected interruptions through the day >_< But I’m sure everything will return to normal in a few day, I just need to focus and work hard! (:

Desk pictures

Category: General Talk, Life

I thought it’d be nice to take some updated pictures of my workstation in the corner of the living room (:

(please forgive my crappy photographing skills >>; )

Don’t like this corner so much anymore, though XD; Hopefully, when I move out, I’ll have a nicer corner!

*goes back to work on TPF’s title screen”

Watercolor GUI~

Category: Projects, VN, Work

I’ve been doing this for a few days (sketching, color testing, arranging, printing, tracing, painting…).
The faces you see there are for an event illustration that needed extra emotions/faces.

I’m currently tracing the last sheet to be painted for GUI (and then scan, separate and clean the GUI stuff), and then I’m done with everything on the “Round 1″ list! Meanign the game could work perfectly with what we have now C:

Then comes “Round 2″, with a couple of extra sprites, an extra event and some other stuff.

I’m hoping everything will look beautiful when it’s all put together! :D

Some painting progress pictures~

Category: Life, Projects, VN, Work

What the title says~

I’m done with most the higher priority painting for TPF, I need to properly scan them now! Now I’m missing the Logo and the GUI, which still need some work… that and a new Watercolor pad ^^;

I thought I’d show you some progress pictures I took with my camera and the webcam the past days (:

I got the MacBook Pro. BEST. INVESTMENT. EVER. <3
I also have a new puppy dog mom rescued the other day. She was sniffing the garbage near the house a week ago and was infested with ticks, hungry and scarred. She got treated and now she’s healthy! Her name is Vriska and she’s a really sweet little thing (:

In other news, the alpha of this other non-VN game I was doing the art for is complete, but we’re waiting some feedback before making an announcement about it.
Now, I need to work some more on TPF and go into turbo working mode for FoT, so we can meet the deadlines >O

Thanks for reading! ^^
