My art work!

I noticed I don't really have any art work posted anywhere online to show people (my Deviantart doesn't count lol) and so I'll post some of it here, though most of it is several years old...

I need to find that newspaper article where I was interviewed about my art and scan it again!

My most recently worked on piece is 'The Darkness' with Jackie Estacado screaming in pain via Prismacolor markers on a dollar store thick poster board. I'm still sketching in the background to color in later when i buy more pens!

( As always, click to enlarge for detail )

Next I have 3 pieces from my last art class I took at Delta, just 3 basic pieces:

Top: (When Hell Freezes Over) - Watercolor. Bottom Left: (Daytona USA) -pencil. Bottom Right: (Bats pattern) -prismacolor pencils

Another 3 basic pieces from same class:

Top Right: (Mandala Prophecy Circle) - Acrylics. Top Left: (Pear Exercise) - Acrylics. Bottom: (Rainbow Dash & Prizm) -Prismacolors, markers, gel pen.

Best Colorwheel I ever did:

Dias Flac from Star Ocean 2 via Acrylics.

Now for stuff I did in High School!

Tornado Vs Tornado. This is the first AP art piece I did my senior year of High School and then I got stuck with a natural disaster concentration that I HATED! This was watercolor on a 30 X 22 poster board & I was well known by this piece. It was in the Lincoln 06 yearbook as well.

The Object Self Portrait I did as my first project in Art 2 that got me thrown straight into AP. I took pride in the Star Ocean logo which took forever to DRAW out, the rest looks bad to me.

Wolf surrounded by fire in the snow - oil pastels. I think this was also in the yearbook. This took like an hour or two? XD

When I was in Graphic Design. A CG of my cat Kavren. RIP Kavren! I had to show the WIP because some people didn't even believe it was my work. It's not even that great! Look at dat unfinished background! Cheap grass and lots of pen tablet strokes for fur lol

Now for some W T F pieces xD

My best friend told me I should make a tornado of birds. She meant the birds would FORM the tornado itself. I decided to just do a random tornado with birds in it because the other concept sounded too hard. Plus I was lazy for half of AP. So I half assed this a lot towards the end. Look at dat color lololol Prismacolor pencils were my favorite thing senior year

An angel with bondage trapped in an Earthquake type scene. Yeah, I really didn't know what to do for my concentration, nor did i care anymore. I got a lot of heat for this.

Its me, supposedly. Walking by colored rocks that would make you believe your on acid on the beach. With a Tsunami coming up in the background. This picture's ugly but I like the coloring detail/mixture in small sections. Especially the reflection of the moon in the water.

A watercolor of me and one of my ex best friends. This was derived from a photo and some colors were changed to make it complimentary. And someone in class spilled water on my forehead on this pic as I worked on it. Betch. 

It's one of those 'grab a picture from a magazine, sketch it out, then charcoal shade it in, then turpentine to spread it around and make it look messy and cool all within 20 minutes' type of picture ;D

WHY OH WHY DID I PUT A THICK BLACK LINE AROUND THE PAPER THE DRAGON IS COMING OUT OF? Why are the sphere's arranged so badly that it's hard to tell that's a hand? WHY DID I OUTLINE SO MUCH IN MY YOUNGER DAYS? Haha I love the watercolor background though but this could have turned out a LOT BETTER if I had known what i knew today about making art.

And this is what you do in early high school when you are bored /failed drawings kept for whatever reason

ANYWAYS, I know I have done more art but nothing big. I was thinking about it earlier, how I miss drawing and how I should start drawing again and not on photoshop ( I hate the feeling and technique of doing digital art for whatever reason, photoshop is used for photographs for me ;D ) So time to bust out the sketch book, some nice pencils and pens and start drawing again.

I have stuff brainstormed to draw out!!!

Healing scars with my guitar

Last week, I went to downtown Sac to hang out with my friend Cory You. We met on the Fanime forums/Myspace years ago but never took the time to actually hang out. So Cory showed me all the little weird shops in Downtown Sacramento.

We visited a shop that was kinda like Rasputin but more expensive lol

An oddly colored vintage thrift store

 That had a bunch of Rainbow Brite stuff xD

We also went to Arden Fair mall and Forever 21 in Roseville.

We visited Urban Outfitters and made fun of how expensive some t-shirts were for "hipster" designs. Then Cory and I went to his apartment and he made me one of those similar designs on Photoshop for me:

Then he got me addicted to Grimes and Empire of the Sun's odd music and I went home about 2am xD

A few nights later, Edwin randomly messaged me and asked me what kinda pizza I wanted, then took me to see Snow White. Except I chose to see Avengers for the second time (still not in 3D though xP). 

A night or so later after I got off work, we went bike riding. I took the lead and we biked around Spanos Park, although I told him to make sure that I wasn't leading us into the more ghetto area's haha. Then we went to the park and swung on the swings and talked. Then a Domino's car came by and his coworkers delivered us Pasta and desserts. It was delicious. Then we just sat on the benches talking until the sprinklers came on and tried to spray us. Then we gazed at the stars.

On Sunday, Edwin took me to Buffalo Wild wings (first time I'd eaten there) and I pwned on BlackJack. Cause that's like the only card game I really like.

Kazumi, Kate and I booted up Pokemon Stadium on N64, the other day. It was sweet! ;D

And I have 3 day off in a row so I'm relaxing. My shoulders and pecs are really sore from the gym! I need to start getting ready to go to my coworkers last day party tonight and buy some drinks.

This dream will last forever. This dream will never die.

Purikura with my besties at the beginning of my last Vacation.

So how is everyone? I can't exactly say how the New Year is turning out so far, it's been a mix of up's and downs. I am however looking forward to my Birthday next Tuesday on the 24th! I'll be 24. Jajaja. I don't look 24 right? I get that comment all the timeeee.

Robby bought me a supposed Japan Exclusive Hello Kitty bag from The San Francisco mall when we took a trip up there last Monday. I lurves it. <3 It has side pockets for holding water bottles ;D and a pouch inside for money.

I'm enrolled in Art and I can't wait to start drawing again. I used to draw all the time but I haven't in ages. I'll probably upload my works this semester here. I need to go get my sketch book :] Perhaps a trip to Office Max on break at work tonight.

So take me back in time, to another world.

Soo Kayla made me a much better Tiger design.

I'm gonna take that to Tony tomorrow and I would get it exactly the way it is, but we needa figure out a color scheme and then I have to save money to get it @_@

Yesterday I went up to the mountain area with Kayla and her family, watched her aunt get married and we hung out in a tent while it rained a lot. I got a foxy tail ^^ 

We went to Denny's later on, Kayla's brother had the Bacon Sundae X_X

Vlog >_> 

I'm exhausted lately haha but I've been excited for the upcoming month. Only 11 out of 60 math hw's left! The semester is coming to a close soon. I'll take an English class over Summer school I suppose and maybe a criminal justice course if I feel like it?

Applying to schools on August 1st if the state budget allows it. All I have to take next semester is my final math and basically any art class. Also plan to take weight training with Kayla to get more in shape. I felt like I rushed getting out of weight training in the past, but this time I wanna stay and use the full time to gain muscle.

My work out plan for the summer includes DDR! xD I need to look for a small nice bike.

Random Confessions:

People who walk slow, really really annoy me. Like ok, fine, you have nothing important to do or no where to be but I have somewhere to be and a life and if you and your friends are walking in front of me down some aisle in a grocery store or in front of me at Delta or the mall and there's a ton of space in front of you and I can't squeeze by you or go around you, then I tend to get pissy xD I like to walk fast most of the time.

Gamerscore and seeing your friends online on Xbox Live made gaming more exciting but also made me dislike gaming more at the same time. Now on any console I expect to see friends online but that's not the case...

I grew up with trance/techno, electronica and ambient sounds, thanks to my brother so those genre's of music will always stick with me n__n

Avenged Sevenfold is my boyfriends favorite band and one of my favorite bands.  I didn't automatically like A7X right away.  I had already stored all of A7X music in my iriver and I'd always skip their songs at first cause I didn't feel like listening to them. Then walking to the bus stop one day, my iriver was about to die and I knew if I lit up the screen to change the song, the battery would die. So I walked to 'a little piece of heaven' and thought...'this is really catchy.' I listened to it all and my iriver died. Then i couldn't wait to get home so I could listen to it again and eventually other songs and that was when I started to really like Avenged Sevenfold. :] I've seen them in concert twice, almost three times.

I love being creative, doing art and drawing! I HATE art classes most of the time. I don't mind having guidelines for a project but I just hate being demanded to draw something by a deadline and having it graded so harshly when I just like to do my own thing, in my own time and it comes out a lot better than what I had to make in class.

^Not to brag but for example, I'm supposedly so good at art, that in Art 2, I was put straight into AP art and I had a crazy teacher who demanded I make 35 high quality art pieces by May for the AP test. Ugh.

5 hour energy's make me hyper and happy. No energy drink can do that and no other food has done that to me. I can be REALLY EFFING LOUD and off the wall on a 5 hr so i try to drink them on the days where I'm just worn out and still gotta work. I would drink them more often but I don't wanna grow immune to them.

I have tried every flavor of Vitamin water, the only one I can not stand is the Acai blueberry.

Tigers are my favorite animal and I plan to get a tiger tattoo soon as my first tat.

Berlin Wall is my favorite map on Black Ops.

My favorite Pokemon has to be Arcanine or Growlithe. Others I really like are Pikachu, Entei and Espeon. And that new crocodile with the sunglasses.

I blame our current economy on almost everything money related or job related.

I really wish that Imag-E could be a manga or anime. It would prolly be like 80 books long and a huge Dvd box set.

After being at Delta for god knows how long, I am actually enjoying Delta more now than ever (I still wanna leave it though but I enjoy learning more now) and just this past year, i actually see myself able to transfer soon instead of just loosely hoping to do so.

I love animals! I hella want a Pomeranian, Balinese cat, German Shepherd, Fennec Fox, Ferret or a hedgehog, those glow in the dark tetra fish and several other cute animals though prolly not all at the same time lol; Even though I really love tigers, I'm not gonna be one of those stupid people who live in a house and try to keep one illegally as a pet and end up getting mauled by it like the people on Animal Planet.

The past couple Thursday nights, I have been snuggling up with Robby and we watch Jersey Shore. YES, I know that show is stupid but idk can't help but watch this season of it. Snooki is my favorite, only because she is so dumb.

I feel like I will never be a complete person till I'm completely out on my own, supporting my own self for every little thing I do. Even though I have a job and a car and pay my own bills and buy my own food, clothes, gas, anything I need basically and even though I go to school and pay for that and have a sweet boyfriend and the awesomest best friend, I still feel like I'm not as far as I should be in life.
