yay for stuff!
Classical @ 05:52 pm CST
so! stuff has happened.
i have to leave for the lake conference art show in about thirty-five minutes, so while i have a bunch of inking to do, it's not worth getting the supplies out to do it right now.
but, wow. i'm actually having my artwork displayed in a real showcase?
i'm not really sure how to feel on this one. i think that the only reason i got into the showcase in the first place, representing our school ('yo), is because all the great senior artists graduated last year. XD; i'm going to be up against so much talent from around the greater metro area, man... i highly doubt that i'll win anything. i have a feeling this conference is probably a little more conservative anyway, so they'll be all "fine arts, whoo" and think of my stuff as cartoony scribbles.
and the dispalyed image isn't my favorite, anyway... it just had a helluva lot of work put into it.
but i guess it's still an honor to be in it in the first place. something to put on my resume, anyway.
i gotta get caught up on homework, or i'll be so stressed come sunday night. i just realized that after today, i only have three days left of my spring break. x_x
i need to get started on some powerpoint i was going to put together, because i have a group counting on me for that one. and then read two books, which is no huge hurdle besides the fact that i actually have to sit and read for a long period of time. and then read a bunch of annoying short stories... then perhaps start on my english paper.
but, man... i will be all busy on saturday, it seems, watching movies with friends and stuff that homework is going to come crashing down on me pretty quickly if i don't get to it.
but i want to drawww. D: i just got all this bristol and markers yesterday and i want to use them. i started something yesterday (omg, crappy preview!) and i'm going to be redrawing something i started last week, but also at a bigger size.
i've realized how i love drawing big. D; i can make so many mistakes with my inking and still get away with it, because i'm inking to a much larger scale and it's easier to hide them. plus it's not such a killer on my wrist, because i make my lines so much thicker when it's this large. plus there's way more room for detail!
though i have no idea how i'm going to stuff this thing in my scanner when i'm done with it. blah.
but! if this comes out (i can't decide on pencil shading or markers... though maybe i could do a combination of both?), i think i will sell the original at CONvergence this summer. and make prints to maybe sell at art for earth or something. i mean, i'm liking this, and it's bigger, so it's...like...worthy of selling. because i don't know many people who would buy art the size of printer paper, on average.
still haven't even started on my comic when i said i would. XD; oh well.
anyway, it's time to go and fix myself up before i leave here, so that's about it for this entry. for closure, i managed to pick up goblet of fire and i have howl's moving castle coming. i watched the first last night... gahhh, puberty did ron wonders. <33
and i got my act thing in the mail. i had signed up for the wrong date, but there wasn't much i could do about it until i got my thing in the mail... so i got that fixed (at the expense of a fee of $18... but it was really my stupid mistake).
AND i have my tax returns coming, but i may not be spending them on a playstation 2. since i brought up the interest, my mother is working on my father to buy a "family" playstation 2. which means i'd have to share, but it would save me the troubles of fighting with my siblings.
all that money would end up going to games and other various things, though. XD i wanna get katamari damacy (and probably we <3 katamari), kingdom hearts, final fantasy X and maybe taiko drum master along with some of the silent hill games, because i've only heard such good about them. but i would probably also have to try to get my hands on a copy of the first silent hill for my old playstation.
plus i'm really...uhh, relieved that my mother and i are seeing a bit more eye-to-eye right now on colleges. i explained stuff to her and i think we got back on track. i think disagreements were happening because we weren't really understanding everything as the other did. for now, anyway.
i will still probably get dragged to lots of colleges i don't want to go to, but they won't be the full tour thing.
however, i will also probably get to spend four or five days in new york this summer, basically on my own, exploring the city, because my mother will be over there for some convention and i wanna visit a couple of colleges there.
...
ANYWAY. i'm off, for real now.
