Hey everyone
I log into DA and constantly see my annoying outdated journal. So I thought I might as well tell you what I am up to
I started uni at the end of last month, and I have spent a lot of time in the past two weeks on the Art Society (at Birmingham Uni) in our recruitment campaign. I'm glad to say it paid off We got over 100 members, and workshops are up and running very well In our new members' meeting the room was packed and people were standing outside in the corridor On the other hand, I am behind with my studies already Although today's presentation was jittery but I managed to stumble through the questioning
Sorry if I seem to have lag times for commenting these days - but I am still around! Hopefully I will cook up some proper art in spare intervals before the really busy times, but I am determined to study well this year so I have no regrets
Take care xxchr0ma
ART PROFILE ROUND-UP
Currently painting: senoBDEC's kiriban - really really sorry about the wait
Current style: Aesthetic, with manga/game art influences (hmmm... for some reason that sounds lame >_> well, a style is a style), trying to be a bit more realistic and rough-brushed
Currently wishing: To paint RoT fan art (not enough ppl do this); to learn more about lighting; to learn more about facial expressions; to paint from general to specific; backgrounds were easier to draw
Next kiriban: I'll decide later
Oekaki haunts: TACo, my laptop oekaki board, Anime-Artists-UK Oekaki
Website for the artistically inclined: Rey Bustos Anatomy

Change of creative outlet
I have decided to do some writing as well! This I find somewhat easier than drawing, so keep tuned!
My style is mainly fantasy, but I do some related genre work as well, such as science fiction, alternative reality, medieval. I love writing long stories, but sometimes short stories are more accessible to online readers.
Ever since I have learnt to touchtype I have managed to do all sorts of wonderful things with text on a computer. Some time I must play typershark again, just to see how good I am.
All of my public writing I do on sta.sh, which has this awesome autosave function. Evidently the disk that they have the work stored on is
New work in Scraps
I got reminded today of how important it is to have the right tools when painting. Finally today I have produced something worthy to show my family, it's in scraps because it looks hurried, but it could have gone into my main gallery, and I'm happy with it. I plan to digitally paint every day, even if it's only for an hour, I'm very busy but art keeps me going. Also wouldn't it be cool to become a concept artist and get paid for doing something you really like. Though my current job is fascinating enough, the grass always seems to be greener on the other side. If I ever become a concept artist I will probably daydream of being something else
I'll comment on yours if you comment on mine
Repeating the last bit of my last journal entry, if you comment on any of my pictures I'll comment on your pictures. I'm currently waiting for the contest results to the Kiseki contest 31st July, the Zen Master Challenge 11th July, Draw Hoshi contest 30th July, Snowy-Ninja's contest 21st July, The Lost Kids Art Contest 8th August. Also I have just discovered a great way of copying pictures when the canvas goes off the screen - simply start off with a canvas within the screen, then later enlarge the canvas and continue the picture. I'm practising my colouring with openCanvas, which at the moment seems to fall short of its objective.

I'm drawing one a day
At the moment my current strategy of pencil outlines and digital colouring appear to be coming on nicely, with the pictures done in a reasonable length of time. If I had known I would have improved so fast I would have delayed my contest entry to the Kiseki contest 31st July, but I suppose I'll have a better chance of winning the next contest I enter. My ArtRage work files for drawings done this way are huge, so I'm not keeping them, just the lineart and the finished piece.
I did fleetingly have an idea last night of drawing finished pieces using pencil, complete with shading, but that is beyond me at the moment, I am rather cautious of chan
