My apologies for not being on here at all since the fall, as I've been crazy busy with life and work and things, but mainly because now I've been posting my art on my new tumblr art blog, a-rich-metaphor.tumblr.com, and not on here anymore. Save for things that need to be uploaded here so I have a reference to upload it elsewhere. I still love you guys, but I am horrible at keeping up with people, as you can probably tell D: If you ever want to chat, feel free to send me an ask on my art blog! :)

I hope you all had a great winter, and I hope to talk with you sometime!! <3

Heyooooooo, everybody! 

SO first things first, I have an new art blog on tumblr, a-rich-metaphor.tumblr.com/ ! My old one wasn't getting much use, so I decided to scrap it and start new! I will still be posting here, of course, but mainly the new art blog is focused more around my original works and improvements(such as challenges) and the like, whereas my main blog holds most of my fanart(mainly Trek art), and on here it's a mix of everything! :) 

AND I HAVE GREAT GREAT FABULOUS NEWS THAT IS NOT DECIDED YET BUT IS A VERY HIGH POSSIBILITY. Okay so, in my last journal, I said something about not being able to take classes this semester because of reasons, but THERE IS A 95% CHANCE I WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CLASSES AFTER ALL, MEANING /THREE/ ANIMATION CLASSES THAT I AM SUPER HYPED FOR!!! So yes, expect to see things from there, because it is a thing that will be happening. :3 If not, oh well, more time for art and I'll take it later haha

But anyways, yes, these are things that are going on. Thank you for your time!

LLAP!

So I'm pretty sure I've talked with someone about this before, but every now and then I'll be drawing something, and I'll just quickly draw a line, and it comes out wayyy better than all the other ones that I spent more time on. I mean, I get the thing with the flow of the wrist but like /yo/ it's happening a lot more now. Which is good, just confusing a bit. Like in that one drawing I did of running(tripping) McCoy with asleep legs, the lines of his torso/shirt happened like that. And it came out a million times better and I loved it.

From what I remember from that conversation was that sometimes when you think too hard about drawing and what line and where, it's not as good as if you just let it flow, I think, which has definitely proven itself for me. It's probably unrelated, but I ALWAYS used to do random scribbles with my eyes closed and then look within the scribbles to see certain forms like "oh there's a fish" or "oh hey, an alien". Most to all came out obscure, but I think that was all flow? Idk. It's late for me rn lol. XD But yes. Things.

(On a separate note I made a really bad mistake with financial aid, and I may not be able to go to school until the spring semester. It is completely my fault and well, poopy. :/ It especially stinks because I had THREE animation classes and CREATIVE WRITING all lined up and I was so excited about it... ): )

Night, all! LLAP!

Vacation!

Hey, all!

I know it's kinda short notice since I spaced, but I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go to on a trip to Disney for about a week, then back for 4 days, then camping for half a week! I won't be posting anything in the first week(or, if I do, it'll probably be doodle dumps), however I will see what will be posted when I return! I know I'm hyped up on Guardians of the galaxy right now, so we'll see what happens!

Thank you, and I hope you all have wonderful days! :"D

LLAP!

Commissions?

1 min read
So, I've had a few people contact me about if I do commissions or requests. I haven't really done them before, but I think I'm open to the idea of doing them now that I'm a bit more comfortable with my art. However, as I said, I've never done them before or requested any before and don't know exactly how they work. Thus begging the question, if anyone knows, of how to do the whole commissions thing? I'm grateful for any and all answers/advice anyone can give on this subject! Thank you for your time! :)

LLAP!
