Squiggly Wiggly

Hello hello!

Havent had time to do more japanese sketches lately, although i would like to participate to the charity book CFSL is making. All proceeds would go to help the victims of the tsunami :). I still have to make the drawing, although i dont even know if ill have time to do it -_-!! Too many deadlines, all falling around the same date.

Despite having a lot of work, went to the d&d and managed to produce this

Although there's a lot of nonsense in there, what happens when im tired i suppose. I begin to draw pokeballs and chairs with sexy legs as well as men with squiggly wiggly arms. Also drew Ratchet in there, that you might remember from my animation film Uno :). I've been thinking about her story a lot. Again, when i have more time i would like to write it down properly :)

Expensive boots

Most of my time i spend waiting for checks :>... that is the life of a freelancer *yay*. Because of that i need to plan my expenses very carefully! Like recently, i had to throw away my converse boots that ive had for nearly 4 years... loved these boots to death. Nothing lasts forever unfortunately. I have another pair of boots, but my new rocks arent always kind to me. If i walk long distances i get bad bruises on the back of my ankles. SO ive been window-shopping for boots, looking at stuff online. There's this one pair id love to have but i dont have the money for it, hopefully i will soon :>.

SO today's jap sketch is about this :). 'Yasukute kaou kashira' 'It's quite expensive, I wonder if i should buy it'

Merveilleuse bday

Since Ika was away i was able to work on his bday present without fear of him seeing it :), which is good considering this stuff wasnt exactly easy to hide. My roommate was nice enough to cut up 37 tiny 2X2cm blocks for me so i could make a wooden pixel art character as a gift!

Stained all 37 blocks with acrylic, then glued them all together and voila!

I wasnt sure if i was going to be able to do this, since i needed cubes and didnt have the tools to actually cut them myself. This second gift was actually a backup gift hehe, but since my original idea worked out Ika now had two Merveilles presents :)! I still need to trim and polish the board :D, but you get the idea.

You reap what you sow

In light of all of the stupidities people have said about the disaster in japan, i decided to make an image with a Japanese proverb that basically resumes my feelings towards all this hatred.

'akuin akka' 'You reap what you sow'

Youre all in my heart

This is probably no news to anyone, but yes there was indeed a very bad earthquake in Japan today. I have some friends there right now, who i know are fine, but it breaks my heart to see houses being ravaged by tsunamis like that. Not that its more tragic because its in Japan, its tragic if it happens anywhere. I just have a lot of love for that country, so in a way it kinda hits home.

So today, my heart is with the people of japan

'anatatachi wa watashi no kokoro no naka ni iru' 'you're all in my heart'

i know french

My illustrations for bayard are advancing well :), completed 10 out of 27! Had a bit of free time so i did another jap practice doodle!

'furansugo ga dekimasu' 'i know french'
