Getting it over with

A promise is a promise

The following is what my recent strike of inspiration has bore fruit to

Also, I apologize for my scanner's shit quality...

So first up i drew this dude
and i was quite happy with him 
though he isn't perfect since i wasn't taking my time 

I haven't named him yet but if you have a suggestion let me know 
i think he's cute do you think he's cute? 
i was actually so happy with him that i thought
that i could with my amateur skills recreate something good again
and so...
Failed attempt at recreation #1

It's Okay to laugh
I laughed
This was expected
I guess in the end i just can't do the transition 
from full body
to close-up 
or whatever
not unless their hairstyle is unique
and they have some special feature like a scar or something
maybe...
just a theory...
is this colour hard to read? 

ANYWAY Failed attempt at recreation #2 


He's cute. 
He doesn't look like no name 
but he could be no name's little brother
i just really think he's cute
i like his face
way to go me -pats back-
After that one went in a completely different direction i decided to take a break
and i was just trying to keep a consistent face
and hairstyle
w/ different expressions and head angles
as you can see
it proved difficult
but i actually think i made progress don't you? 
*Ignore the ballerina girl*

In the end 
I decided that it would be best
to draw another full body
if i wanted to get anywhere close
to a recreation 
and SO!

Look at him! 
He looks like No Name doesn't he? 
*cough*
only cuz half his face is covered
*cough*
but srsly 
I think i finally got somewhere
I call this progress 
I think he likes sports 
He seems like the serious hard working athletic senpai y'kno? 
But i also think he sucks at social stuff and love 

Moving on to the next OC i sketched

Now there isn't much to say about this guy
he is also still nameless 
A friend of the previous <3 
He plays guitar 
megane! 
I think he's more outgoing and social 
probably a wise guy 
very funny and kind
but maybe he also has his own dark demons
suffering inside quietly
and he's so kind and happy 
cuz he's distracting himself from the pain
omf i suddenly love him more o-o
he must be named! 

now this one clearly isn't done 
and if you can't tell
it was supposed to be the both of them 
but i stopped because there were too many things i didn't like
but for some reason whenever i tried to change them
it just got worse
like megane looks too old 
he reminds me of France 
and No name was meant to be sitting at first
to megane's back 
and turning back slightly to glance at him play
but apparently i don't have the skills for that yet
and i didn't want to accept anything but my original vision
and so 
i stopped 

i haven't given up tho
imma keep drawing these to until i can do them naturally 
in any position 
i'll use them as my basis to improve my skills 
then i will finally be able to draw 
the OCs that are the most important to me
with no regret T^T 

haha yeah
okay
that ends show and tell 
just tell me and i'll do one of these
again some time 
keep you updated 
if i decide to actually write a short story 
behind them 
i'll post it up here too 
just cuz 

Man this is it
My holiday ends in less than an hour 
i'm going to bed
Love sleep day isn't over after all! <3 
ENJOY YOUR BEDS!
ENJOY EM!

Happy Love Sleep Day


so i decided to update once more 

haha did i tell you my phone died 
of course i didn't 
but yeah 

at first i didn't mind so much but then...
i started noticing these little things 
like i can't use iMessage anymore 
I can't play tap tap revenge anymore
i just lost all the manga titles i'd been saving up to read later
and my source of knowing when a manga has been updated

it was pretty depressing to think about for a bit
and no i do not care about using my phone for the basic calling and texting 
i have no friends who need me to contact them that much

How did my phone die? 
Years of abuse and misuse maybe 
It's partly my fault it met it's end so i take the blame
but i really want another iPhone 
i can't just quit apple cold turkey like that
i might have minor withdrawal effects

ahh...it's started raining

that reminds me of a website i discovered recently 

Man independence day was like...yesterday? I don't even know 
(Fun Fact: The Commonwealth of Dominica observes it's independence on November 3rd) 
It's Monday and still no school
not complaining 
i wish it would last forever
school resumes on Wednesday though 

I'm actually getting a bit tired now

i'm going to bed readers 
you guys should too 
whether it's 3 AM or 3 PM 
let's
sleep

I hereby dub today (whatever day it is 5th or 4th idk) LOVE SLEEP DAY 
I would mark it down but i don't have a phone calender anymore 
i hope i remember to do it later 

Good thing i have no school 
I can enjoy today for all it's worth
well no 
i can't 
i have to finish the homework i didn't finish today
and study for the tests i didn't study for today
and clean the room i didn't clean today 

Isn't procrastination grand? 

ON THAT NOTE 

HAPPY LOVE SLEEP DAY
and GOOD BYE
Don't let anyone stop you from celebrating 



ranting about drawing

I AM UPSET RIGHT NOW
SO UPSET

so listen up readers
today i basically wasted my life away and coupled that with doing a bit but still not all my homework
then at around 10 pm
i suddenly decided to get my stuff and just draw
now this isn't why i'm upset
i'm upset because i'm proud of the new oc i drew
he looks cool in my opinion
but whenever i try to redraw him it looks like someone else
it's. so. frustrating.
i've been sketching this guy for the past 2 hours and none of them look like the original idk what to do
and it's getting late so my emotions are more easily riled
i just want a second opinion on this
but i can't scan right now because it's late and i don't want to wake my parents w/ the printer
also it's cold and i don't want to get out from under the covers
sigh....
SIGH...
i'll post the sketches tomorrow
by then i would have finally have had a breakthrough
or given up

wish me of the luckiness IF YOU DON'T I'LL BLAME YOU WHEN I FAIL
BYE~
