Dang, almost 1 month from my first entry, that's not very good! But I'm back here and I think that's what matters. Instead of thinking "man I haven't worked on my blog in so long..." I am actually doing that RIGHT NOW! And I think that's cool. I think that's alright for now. Though I will try to be more consistent simply because I think this blog helps me keep things in order in my mind. It's nice to write down what you think from time to time.

Anyway, it's been a month since I started studying again, and so much has already happened… this is a really different study experience compared to the ones I had in the past. Feels a lot more interactive, and I love LOVEE the sensation of my brain feasting on more info to analyze. That, also accompanied by the fact that I spend a couple of hours everyday on the bus, seeing other people and listening to new music of different genres everyday, has really opened my eyes to just HOW MUCH stuff there is to learn... there is so much to see... so much to hear... so many creations all around the world that are a mirror of someone's beautiful little brain in all its complexity... that is so incredibly wonderful...

Graphic design lessons have also contributed to that. Our professor's not only teaching us how to use the programs [Can I be honest I LOVE using Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign god dammit Adobe], but he's also been recommending us websites where to look for other people's works and inspiration and... I think that's kind of when I realized that I can just. Do whatever I want. Change my entire drawing approach depending on the piece. That changing technique not only does not make my art not recognizable, but is fundamental to keep your mind fresh. This all sounds very silly [like... well yes!], but, since I've been mostly posting my art on social media for all my life, there's this sort of pressure [not necessarily because of other people OR even the algorithm. It's kind of hard to explain. General marketability? Who knows. Is it even pressure or was I just doing that because that's what most other artists did? I have no clue!] of feeling like you should have a definite artstyle, that's just Yours and No one else's and that's really just closing your mind to new opportunities. I have a feeling that, no matter how much you experiment and try out new stuff, including things that look kinda bad lmao, your "style" will always show because all of that gets filtered through your mind, which is going to apply your own preferences to it. Does that make sense? I hope so. Because god I am Not very good at explaining what goes on in my brain, but I sure do have lots of fun doing that.

I've also been listening to a lot of music lately, and that, paired with all the other art I've been looking at these days [mainly posters and typography] it feels like my mind is EXPLODING with ideas and creativity. I've never felt just... So much in my brain. It's astounding. I have to put those thoughts into actual creations, otherwise everything will start stagnating again. And do that I will! I have some ideas in mind, one pretty concrete project I've been thinking of making for a while, that I think could become something incredibly fun with all this new knowledge I have, another one that I literally just completely changed today because my brain decided to work all of a sudden, and a less concrete one derived from, of all things, my Spore creatures lol. The first one's not only the one that has a clearer, more defined identity, but it's also luckily probably the easiest one to make, so I'm really excited. I will make a schedule to work on it soon, tho I'll probably finish my zine piece first, so that I don't just pile up works. While the last two days have kind of been a disaster, I am starting to become more organized, and I'm learning how to catch my train of thought when my brain's tricking me into thinking that I'm tired and I should "take a break" [for the entire day. All week.] so I believe that I can do this. I have all the "materials" I need, though a more powerful computer would definitely be appreciated, so I just need to! Get to work!! You Goddamn idiot!!! Hell yeah!!!!

If you read all of this word vomit you are very beautiful. And also Smart! You are very smart. Here's a drawing I still have to choose while I am writing this doc on LibreOffice Writer EWWWWWW WHAT IS THAT oh thats my oc Victoria. This drawing's kinda old. Say hi to Victoria guys. Ok great, time to kill her with hammers Thanks for reading guys

AHHH FIRST BLOG POST!!!! Scary. Fun. Look at these.


I made these last week!! I used shrink plastic, acrylic markers and my awesome oven. I was sooo scared something would go wrong for some reason, but, aside from Max's slightly squished head, these came out really really nicely. Smiles.

More in general, I've been wanting to make some keychains for... a VERYYY long time, but I just never did, since I have a pretty bad problem of simply daydreaming, and never actually doing anything. I remember making so many designs to send them to Vograce, but then always giving up halfway through.

Lately, I've been trying to break my bad habits with more decisiveness!!!! So I decided to make some keychains again, but I wanted to fully make them myself. I felt like doing the entire process myself would help me more :^].To actually paint them with my own hands... [and also, after some thinking, I decided I'd just try to avoid using things like Vograce in general, but I'm stopping that thought here, since this is not the point of this post and I feel like I'd words things a bit badly right in this instant] So, with all of that in mind, I started to work!!!

I don't have many pics of the process, there's just these two wips here of the final designs as I drew them on clip studio, and the original drawings in full size! I'd never worked with acrylic markers before, so this was lots of fun.




Anyway if you read this wall of text you're awesome. Take this gif I made based on that one Eggman slapping a chao gif. Have a very very nice awesome day.
