Mnnnuurrggh. Idontwannagraduate!*sobwhinesniffle* I'm not readyyyyyy..... My demo reel is gonna suck (okayokay, it won't suck but it's not going to measure up to my exceedingly high standards. It just isn't. Because I expect too much of myself.) >:( Aaaand it also doesn't help that I suffered from an attack of the INSUFFERABLE LAZINESS last quarter....<---WHICH IS SO NOT AN EXCUSE.

Augh. This should not be so difficult. Digital Portfolio is my only class this quarter, and yet, what do I have done for it? Forty measly seconds. Forty. (It's supposed to be ninety seconds to two minutes). Some of the other people's reels are looking pretty sweet. They all have waaayy more stuff than I do. (Okay, most of them do, not all.) Then I get to thinking, (a dangerous pastime) and I wonder if maybe my laziness is just my subconscious trying to tell me something. Like maybe animation isn't for me after all. But! I don't wanna do anything else! I know that some people who like to draw are all like, "Wow, I could not stand drawing the same thing over and over and over. That's why I'm in Graphic design/photography etc." I may be unique in this, but I actually enjoy animating when I get off my lazy ass and DO it. I work best with motivation. And by motivation, I mean competition. But, like, what if my best isn't good enough? I want a job where I can just draw ALL DAY. And get paid. For drawing. I don't care if I have to start out as a lowly inbetweener. Dammit. I PAID for four years of freaking training in animation and I'll be dammed if I'm going to spend the rest of my life flipping burgers or something. Burger-flipping's fine for a part-time job, but I don't wanna make a CAREER out of it. Sheesh.

*Deep breath*

And I NEED to get out of this house. It feels like I'm stagnating. Stagnating like water left too long in one of those old tires. (You know the ones I'm talking about. Nurseries for mosquito-larvae?) I don't wanna stagnate! I hate mosquitoes! But I'm afraid if I don't jump in RIGHT NOW I'll never have the courage to do it! Real world: why do you have to frighten me so? Bah. You can always gauge how emotional I am by the gratuitous use of italics. And horrible grammar. More-so than usual.

Okay, yeah. I feel better after venting about it. And probably making it seem worse than it really is.

*We interrupt your regularly-scheduled emo-post to bring you an art-dump. *



Hey let's see if the centaur-girl shows up this time!
Hey. Let's see if centaur-girl will show up this time!




Trying a different style. 



Some more random sketch-things. 



This is my RPG-character, River. She's a Werewolf (Why, yes, I am a geek. :D)




Okay, so a certain video game series often features outfits for their  characters that make absolutely no logical sense. Other than looking cool, of course. So I thought "I wanna draw something non-practical too!"
So this is the first in a "Fantasy-RPG-costumes-that-make-no-sense-but-still-look-really-cool" series. A series of one.

And now a meme for anyone who's interested:

Comment and I'll:

1 - Tell you why I friended you.
2 - Associate you with a song/film.
3 - Tell a random fact about you.
4 - Tell a first memory about you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours [if it pertains].
8 - In retort, you must spread this disease in your journal.

Mngh. It's not just graduation, but all the stress related to it. Like, paying back student loans. (Which, since I'm currently a part-time student, I have to start paying back now...) Gah. And finding a job, and dealing with people...D:

Don't worry, you'll find a job 'cause your stuff's awesome. :D

And now:
1. Because you're eyo. XD
2. I'm gonna bend the rules and say Slayers. :O
3. You're a pirate! :P
4. Um...I think it was Theories of Personal Communication and you told me Wisconsin sucked. >:|
5. Your character Eyodius. Duh.<3

And you commented so:
1. Well, it's because you're evil. Obviously.
2. "When You're Evil"-Voltaire. Also, Shaun of the Dead.
3. You're a role-playing geek like me.
4. Oh! In Fundamentals of Design! "It looks like the Earth!" Inside jokes FTW. XD
5. Nicolai/Digs Piper.
6. Are you ever going to finish that comic you started like, last quarter? The one with Shelby and the golems? I want to reeeaaaad it~
7. "That's Rick James, Bitch"-Oh wait, YOU HAVEN'T MADE THAT ONE YET. >:o

Sorry Charlie, burger flipping isn't even okay as a part-time FIRST job. Which is why I avoided even thinking about applying at Wendy's until my completely desperate last week when nobody wanted to hire me and I felt horrible. Then Kinko's, Valley Fair, Cub Foods, Office Max, and the $10 Spot all called back and wanted to set up interviews in the Thursday/Friday period. So HAHAHA.

Be full of CHEER, Dusky. And whatever you do, DO NOT END UP LIKE ME.

Psssht. The only burgers I intend to flip are the ones I make for MYSELF. Seriously.

1. moose punter.
2. "When You're Evil" suits you too.
3. YOU'RE A LIAR.
4. Uh. I think...it was...third quarter. You had drawn a robot-looking-type-thing and I commented with "Hey! A robot! :B" Or something.
5. Paolini/that one guy from that forum you go to. You know what I'm talking about. *CoughcoughPUMPKINcough*
6. What's your favorite color?
7. I think you only have the one...I'll have to check.

3 - GOD!!! I really do hate fake hair.
5 - I do love me some Kenpachi <3
6 - Yeah I explained this in my most resent post, but in all just to get a better job is all I really want at the moment. I guess my plan is to send resumes to every animation, advertising, graphic design place in all of minnesota and colorado, then to califonia and florida, then to the rest of the country, and after that I guess the rest of the world. So I pretty much want to take over the world with my resume. I dunno know sounds like a good plan to me...

4. You~ were drawing a character and I was like, "Hey! That looks kinda like Nataku from X." Either that, or it was, "Hey! Your style reminds me of CLAMP." Anyway. It was in the lounge circa second quarter.
5. Uh. That crazy cat-thing from Trigun.
6. What's your favorite manga? Or at least, top 5?
