8:21 Is a lie


Next time I set my own alarm to prevent waking my friends earlier than necessary... remind me to make sure the clock is current on daylight savings. Woke myself, and Sarah an hour earlier than necessary this morning.

I figured, no big deal, I'll catch the earlier bus!

The 8:21 bus i was banking on, apparently doesn't exist.

I just.. hurt something in my arm.

Alrighty then, a doodle I drew on Wednesday morning, during tea. I've settled on horns, cause they are fun. My two characters, Suka and.. Unnamed-as-of-yet. Pretty much lifted this scene right from an RP I'm in, because i had fun writing it and I think I'll have fun drawing it. When I get that far.

Still working out arrangements for saturday. It's sitting on either I get picked up in Brampton before six on saturday, or i spend the night at Chris's place (if the invite is still there) and get picked up sunday morning! Either way I'm good really, I'm just looking forward to a day in TO with my friends.

Hopefully I can finally check out that vegetarian restaurant on Oxford street I've always wanted to look at, but of course.. I'm always with the family and don't get the chance >< Brother sees "Vegetarian" and freaks out, unless it's on pizza.

Right then, I still need to hit up the bank and talk to my mom and dad about weekend arrangements!

Gonna have a shower and go play billards with the family. Wee!!

So i finished colouring that picture i was working on X3

I kinda miss all the pink =P

Well shes got a purple hood/scarf deal, and this scheme makes FAR more sense for the kind of life she has than the pink one did. Dye, pft, who can afford THAT?

Alright, Ima take off and work on scripting out that little blurb i made for the prologue. Oh wee, lets see how this turns out.

New outfit designs

Haha, been working on redesigning my characters outfit. Her old outfit just looked so.. young >< so I'm working on making it look less 12yr old and more eighteen year old, yet still show off that shes stupidly naive. Giving this one armed design a run, may doodle up some others but I'm rather happy with this one. I've got other characters in need of designing anyways, haha.

Right then, doodled most of these thursday while waiting at Andreas to surprise Sarah, the four on the far right I drew today.

Parents are a pain when I have company over =_=

Missed it!


By 45 minutes XD ah well, oh dear. Here's the sketch i was working on, I may add colour tonight, or I may be smart and go to bed ><

Nah, I'm never smart.

So.. I was brainstorming with Andrea... And.. THE END IS NEAR DEAR SUKA

Which.. for once I actually feel rather bad XD I typically kill off my characters in my stories, but I'm feeling a pang of guilt ;^; probably just because I play her role in RPs and stuff.

So yes, Andrea and I were bouncing ideas off each other, and now I have a lot to think on, and I'm pretty sure I've filled in a bunch of holes in my story i was looking to fill in.

Ta da, the end, now I have more work to do, bi biiiii

Just made it!


Just made my post today by... twenty minutes. So some character sketches i made today in imaging systems mostly.. The first one is patricia, the bottom two are vampires from my story that I.. haven't yet titled.

Took one of my oldest characters and finally started to work out the kinks in her story, just.. revamped it up a whole lot so it's actually worth writing and or reading X3

Originally I'm pretty sure the story consisted of like.. two characters... One who disappears at the beginning and one who the story follows on a rather short trip to one place or another to find the first character who went missing. I never fleshed out her story too much as she was my RP character, but lately I've been thinking about it a lot. I've added a lot of characters, because I want diversity! I want vampires, elves, fairies, social classes, oppresion, blah blah blah.

Been reading Terry Pratchett and RPing with my close friend and getting a lot of really good ideas that I'm more or less just collecting and sorting out what I like, what I don't, what are my ideas, and what would be a total rip off if i were to borrow them X3

Anyways, I kept the basic storyline exactly the same, but.. I changed the ending, as... happy endings are just all too common. Now it's more sad, I'm just trying to work out what kind of sad ending I want.

anyways, nine minutes left in the day, and I'm tired, been talking to my friends for a couple of hours XD which was enjoyable as we played pictograph.

Annie out 11:52

Today.. is empty


Visited my old high school today, as i promised my art teacher I would bring in my sketchbooks and show her what I was up to and how I was improving. Didn't draw much, didn't do much, said hey to my old friends, doodled up Renee, came home and coloured Renee, even though my computer decided it hated me.

Damn you E-Vain

So.. I was looking for something to draw, and Andrea was like.. "Draw a rodent!" and I was like.. I should practice drawing animals. So i googled rats, and now I'm all sad faced and feeling lonely because of all the little adorable baby rats and just adorable rat pictures in general.

Can't wait until I can own my own again.. If mom wasn't so terribly allergic and put her foot down on getting more, I would have gotten a pet rat a long time ago... Anyhow, i really need to draw something worthy of putting up. Some line practice or something XD yay practice.

And just an edit.. something i made a couple days ago and never put up cause.. It's my dp and is redundant XD Yay redundancy!!

Practice makes.. better art.


So.. i was waiting at school today for my friend Sarah, kinda.. hovering around, listening to music and sitting (i assumed) out of the way. It was inevitable that I would pull out my sketch book and start doodling XD

I was having a hard time with inspirations yesterday, but i think that's just because I was blue. Being inside Sheridan made everything better =3 Anyhow, I doodled a couple faces, then i just drew myself being all bored, and then i drew... Patricia.

I was thinking about alter egos and how people interpret them in characters.. And I wondered what my alter ego would look like! So here I bring you Patricia, the exaggerated persona I adapt when I have the mask of Anonymity.

Pretty much, she's a bit like me (hence alter ego) Only missing that filter from brain to mouth. She's a blunt vengeful bitch, and loves it. She tends to come out when I'm dealing with guys, usually in a relationship sense, and usually when they don't know who I am. Once a guy who my friend dumped and he became stalker-esque, another who was trying to use my friend for her car, another when some random person got a hold of my email and asked me to marry them, another time telling my sister how to deal with an ex'es bitch of a gf.

As much as I admire her gall XD Patricia never comes out in my real life. Only on msn.. or cell phones.. or when people don't know who I am and can't see my face. Oh the bravery of a coward. Annie is too much of a wuss to talk to people like that when (oh heavens!) they know who I am. Anyways, thanks to Sarah for giving me some pointers after class today =3 was very helpful!

The anatomy is totally off, but i will ask you to ignore that X3 it was practice in line variety and then colour practice anyways, but I'm fond of her concept.

And I am tired with a headache. So long!

First art post 09!


Okay so technically it is not, but it is my first art post HERE of 09.

So weeee!! i was playing around with my new red pencil thinger (even though my dad bought me like.. every colour of the rainbow, including green) and i doodled.. Suka, again. So much as i love her, i really need some more ideas to doodle X3

So i wanted to try out this colouring technique my friend showed me yesterday, which skips the whole inking step and you just colour the original sketch, which i thought was rather nifty.

So.. i want to try and draw something every day (cause that totally wasn't my goal in the first place) so here i am with my first doodle. And hey, i coloured it! Much happier with my painting style now than i was last year, guess i was just trying too hard. too many shades and colours and eeeeewyness. Went back to school yesterday, and man did it feel good X3 after a month at home with my family, that really was great to see my friends again, because i missed them a lot. It was actually rather depressing that after a month away from them, i finally get to see them, and then just a few short hours later, I'm on the Go, heading back.. home.

I feel traaaaapped here!

Gotta move out @_@ for real. Not that i don't love my family, but.. this town just seems so stifling.

Anyways, got some portfolio stuff to do, a script to attempt to write, so.. I'm out!

Falling behind

Okay so.. It totally hasn't been a week since i last posted a blog XD but whatever.

So, I'm feeling a little.. behind here. So i got done a lot of what i planned to do over the Christmas break, but here I am, tomorrow marking the halfway point of our final week off.. and i still need to complete

two animal life drawings, one imaginative composition, and one composition from observation.

And then i still have stuff i want to touch up.

And the original artworks.

Sooo I'm a wee bit frazzled, but hey! I can do this!

Keeping in touch

So.. I am on yet another journaling site! Wow i thought i sucked at this sorta deal. So pretty much, I joined blog spot so i can drag over my friends who are moving away, and this is kinda going to be our way of keeping in touch =] Seems a good day to start, a sunday and all.

So, now to send the link to my friends and set up some sort of updating schedule, so we can all keep in touch and know whats happening in everyone's life =3
