HAPPY BDAYYY end of summer..

 

it's been such a fun summer.. and my birthday RULED.. I ate good hotpot and then went home to play ddr with family since my luv bought a dance pad recently ^ 3 ^

we have been SO invested in DDR lately......... and I don't see this ending anytime soon LOL in both cali and pennsylvania, we cannot stop playing...

a mall in my hometown is dying and DDR in particularly cheap to play.. I will be SO sad once it's gone kfdsjkfdsjk next year.. 

on another note, it's been really amazing to watch my nephew grow up.. TToTT he loves to play ddr and punch-out (like me, like his uncle ...).. and chao racing/karate :-) he has been seeing us play SA2's chao garden AHAHAHA 

in sonic, we have sooo many chao.. the highlight so far for me is "EggBabie", which is an egg chao that is very rare LOL.. I am also trying to raise a hero swim/power chao.. I think the shape is like a chunky bunny's and it's cute!! 

 
 

o ya I turned 28 this year!! I feel like I am at an age where I'm having a lot of fun learning different things.. I do look forward to when I can be as cool as my favorite artists and customizers are once I enter my 30s * 3 *  

my mama inlaw is so kind thinking of strawberry flavor for me..

I need to keep learning new things in the meantime.. gotta prep my brain and keep practicing my current skills 

  
Keyboard cleaning warrior.. (I will not say how long I haven't cleaned my own keyboard Kdfsjkjfkdsfsd my grody self)

IN OTHER NEWS there are quite a few exciting things I am very excited about.. LGTS releases next month and I've always looked forward to Halloween! 

 
Cute cicada and beatmap creation.....  

I'm juggling two desires at the moment HMM..  I am either considering:

 participating in a horror game jam/make a teeny horror rpgmaker game.. honestly I don't think I'll have time KDSFKJFDS, but I do at least want to raincheck it for later

 challenge myself to complete a halloween themed blythe custom before the month ends..

which will I do..?? WELP find out ^p^ I've been quite busy so my blog posts are always sparse but I'll try to update regarding this.. 

I never remember to take pix till we are in the car Lolz

I've been keeping busy with work, but I do have a few random art things to share!!

for jen EW

inspired by my friend roby's robo digital pet dogs.. I want to sculpt her someday..

ANYWAY till next time.... 

petit malison COMPLETE

Baby Maliceson.. IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!! I think she turned out beyond sweet >_Q.. I think despite this being my second (finished) doll, I improved a LOT when it comes to 3D facial depth ^p^ 

she is a emo/scene child who doubles as a witch (meant to be a friend of my vampire child oc Raison).. 

my favorite eyes are the brown and blue!! I used justin stickers for one of the chips..!! I want to use more miniSUPER stickers for diy :-D I am also pleased with her eyelid painting YAY

already plotting my next project.. really want to be more consistent with working on them 

using resin, I made cute little locket keychains.. ^p^ SMFJ and Maliceson herself

while I consider her to be a great success, I was taught a lesson about how finicky Mr. Super Clear is......... customizing dolls in mid-summer is a curing fail, east coast humidity xDDD Unavoidable.. 

 

general critique to self : 

•   carve even more depth even tho it's risky lol.... specifically around eyelid/labial fold
  
  
•  careful with shading with too-desaturated/gray of colors for skin hmmmm..... 
  
  
•  spray mr. super clear while holding plate directly in front of you instead of from above/downward so it lays evenly 
  
  
•  be aware of accidentally carving a hole into the faceplate.. had to airbrush her because of this LMFAO

 
thank god for epoxy.. Saving my tail every tim..e.... o(-< I use "fixit sculpt" specifically!

I kept sitting her on my desk every evening to glance at and figure out what might be off with her face LOL

her red cheeks got a little lost..

I think in a few months time, I can retouch her blushies when it's closer to fall!! 

I'm happy she looks good next to cottontail's popcorn ^ 3 ^ 

I had purchased a different wig for her initial design, but the quality of it ended up being cheap-looking .. wut shall I do with it now I wonder.. 

always luv fooling around with leftover acrylic in my airbrush .. Hampters

think I will feature SMFJ on faceplates from now on :-) *lazy*

Here is a final photo celebration!! 

 

unrelated exciting news, but my friend Justin and Claire interviewed me! ^o^ very fun and revamped some old stickers~ I am so excited for future interviews LOL I love learning about artists personal interests..

 

 

sUmMeR DaYyYzz.....  I am enjoying it :-)
