When It Comes To Kicking Evil Very Hard In The Face, There's None More Talented Than A Certain Mr. Skulduggery

When it comes to kicking evil very hard in the face, there's none more talented than a certain Mr. Skulduggery Pleasant!

Merry 2014, everyone! :D 2013 has been such a great year - easily my favourite to date - and I'm so thankful for all the wonderful friendships and experiences that made it what it was. The biggest change to happen this year was moving to Dublin, where I began studying Animation at IADT! The first term was incredible and I got to meet and befriend so many amazingly talented, lovely people! I'm so excited about this new chapter of my life and how it's pushing me to develop my drawing and my self, and I can't wait to see what next year has in store. \(^∪^)/ New Year's Eve is always a good time for some retrospection, so I'm gonna take this chance to post a reeeally old drawing which has a special place in my heart. I drew this in late 2010, right around when I realised how important drawing is to me and that I wanted it to become a much bigger part of my life. Looking back over the past year, I feel like I've made some really important steps towards that goal. I've got a long way to go, but... it feels like I'm on the path towards becoming who I want to be! So, um... that's more than enough of my rambling, but I hope you all have the best and most super-pleasant New Year's celebrations! Here's to time, growth, and an awesome 2014! :3

Also, here's a sketchbook doodle of Merlin with some digital washes! I know I'll regret getting invested in this show because of the emotional onslaught that surely lies ahead, but dang I love these ridiculous Medieval boyfriends and their adventures. :3

Well, I heard back from IADT, and… I didn't get accepted. I don't yet know exactly why they turned me down, but it's either because my portfolio didn't meet the required standards or they simply don't have any places to offer. Apparently they'll be letting me know in detail quite soon, so hopefully I'll at least get some valuable feedback from it.

Now I really don't know what I'm going to do for the next year, all my plans hinged around getting admitted. I really wanted it, and I was so excited about the adventure of moving somewhere like Dublin. Hmm, better just finish this poster commission, sleep, and then maybe I'll start figuring things out anew in the morning. =/ #Text Posts #I have no idea what I'm doing with myself #Life is hard and full of disappointment #On the bright side I learned how to make GIFs so here's some George Michael! #Bluth that is... #Anyway. Sleep. Yes. Good.

Here's a model sheet for a fellow who appears in a storyboard I've been putting together. I think he might be called Alston, or possibly Poe? He doesn't get referred to by name, so I haven't quite figured out that detail. He's amiable, easily embarrassed, slightly smartly-dressed, and unfortunately ends up quite heart-broken. Sorry, guy! I wish things didn't have to be so tragic, but my hands are tied. D:

Ahhh! The new panda Pokémon that was unveiled a few days ago is the cutest thing ever, and resultantly I was compelled to draw one of 'em hanging out in a bamboo forest. I want one on my team, possibly accompanied by Teddiursa and Cubchoo so I'll have a whole gang of adorable ursine pals. :3
