Yet another infrequent journal post - yay me.

Anywho, school is wrapping up for the semester and my trials with my new school are just about worked out (hopefully).

My semester was pretty light, with just two classes and both Independent Study. So I had the opportunity to basically decide what I'd be doing with my semester. A valuable lesson in how I don't thrive in unstructured environments or with self-imposed deadlines.

This past April, I got to return to the Rainy Kingdom and I dragged with me. We took in the sights of Sakura-con and generally practiced bad consumerism at the many, many vendor booths. It was glorious. But that may just be because I was hopped up on lattes the whole time. Soooo glorious.

Also working on some new inking techniques/tools. I've extolled the virtues of brush pens to my friends for a while, but never really took the time to figure them out in any real depth. I just liked how they had a nice variable line quality, but I had no control over it.

Now I'm working on getting that control. And its brutal. I'm spazzing all over my art work and making a terrible mess of what I considered fairly decent pencil work. Its killing me on the inside, but I'm going to learn these pens even it kills someone. Preferably other than me.

Working on some PShop goodness too, but I've never really embraced technology in my art to the extent that just about everyone else has. I should work on that.

Well, seems I've made a list of stuff to work on, so I'm getting to that now.
