So far so awesome

So I managed to completely ignore the Internet so far (mainly social networking lol, still gotta job search and Wiki junk) and I feel surprisingly MUCH better for it 8'D

I've watched a few classic Disney movies, like, everyday, this week. Oh the nostalgiaaaaaaa!! <333 I missed obsessing over Disney, gotta admit X'D and Sonic. I'm a little crazy over Sonic The Hedgehog again too... not allowed to die until I get my hands on a Wii U and Lost world and play the crap outta it 8| <3

Though Colors will do for now. Asdfghjkl, anything!! I don't think anyone online realizes how much I actually love Sonic stuff OTL in fact, the first few pics I posted on dA were Sonic related. I was literally (and I mean LITERALLY) obsessed and infatuated with Sonic stuff from 2003 - 2006 ish... coz I was messed up like that :3

So err, anyway!!
God, I've only been 'gone' 4-5 days and it feels like ages XD... so I'm still on a work placement doing media and such, is so nice to get a taste of such a job *u* using super expensive computers and software, just amazing!!

A company actually text me, TEXT ME!! to say I was one of a select few being considered for an actual payed job ;u; will see how it goes~ (and that's what I get for working on my CV for, like, 3 hours XD)

Aaaaaaaaaaand!! I've finally had a breakthrough for EH >u> it's a comedy drama yes, but verging on a more Sitcom style now~ So I may rethink my season planning and such (not as complex) <u< and I really want more black humor in it X'D like, there's serious sh!t going on, sure, but most of them aren't taking it very seriously so YAY ouo

See ya soon!! Whoever you are and if anyone even reads this 8D... maybe Hayley is, she said she stalked this blog apparently XD

You're more skilled than you think~

I get down a lot when I over think my characters too much, I really do. I often think they're not unique enough or original enough, pffft. They may not be super original, but at least they're mine~ I felt like making a stamp with that quote lols.

Then sometimes, once I've drawn something, I feel better about myself and their designs. Mainly coz no matter how I pair them up and compare them to each other, they're actually all quite different 8') it made me proud, proud that I've came so far on my own and created pretty decent characters without even realising. I had the ideas, I always have, I was just never a good enough artist to portray those ideas fully. Little example of this is Krissie's always had a big-ish round nose lol, but I never drew it properly nor exaggerated it enough. It was all down to my cartooning skills. Skills of which sucked a mere year ago ;n;

I was a failure OTL but if I had to give any cartoonist out there advice, I'd simply say: Watch and copy your favorite ever cartoon characters!! Whether from your childhood, or now, you can learn soooo much if you simply copy, and copy gooood nya? ;D the most basic shapes make up the likes of TDI and Dexter's lab, but I opted for a more anime-ish style when I was 10, being highly influenced by the likes of Pokemon from a young age lol. Not the best example for a true cartoonist to follow, meh XP

Either way, draw in a style you're truly comfy and satisfied with <3
Not happy with your style yet?? Keep trying new things and practicing, you'll get there one day 8)
