I was in sequential class today working on sketches for my comic strip project when a series of small ideas hit me. I now have a new story I'm working on in my spare time (aside from the lolita bookmarks). It's called "Clockwork Queen" and its' a steampunk story X3 I'm so excited. More to come soon.
Also I'm pleased that the animated doll is working on the side of the page. I threw this one together for halloween <3 It's the closest I could get to make it look like me. If you click on it it takes you to the website to make your own. It's quite fun.

Yesterday
(originally posted Oct. 11th, 2007 on my DA)
Well today has been nothing short of tramatic.
In art history this morning I was just sitting down, taking notes from the lechture, and my back started to hurt. I tried to strech my arms and shoulders but it's wasn't helping and my back was suddenly overcome by horrendous pain. My eyes started to water and I kept trying to straighten my back, I had never felt pain in my back like this before. After a few minutes of struggling in my seat and I had to leave (I sit in the front row so it was impossible to leave without getting noticed which is why I tried to stay as long as possible. I think my TA and Teacher started to notice my discomfort) and I went to the bathroom to try to do stretches. The stretches didnt' work so I finally sat on the floor with my back straight against the door and the pain slowly crept away. I went back to class and was fine until we left. Lilly deducted that it was my bookbag filled with heavy books that was twisting my back. I now have to make sure to carry as little as possible (which won't be easy on monday when I have all my studio classes in the morning X_X ) We went to her room after class so she could show me her beautiful dolls and we hung out for a while and I had to sit down on the floor with my back against her wardrobe. Ravenged with hunger we then went to scafe' and my back started hurting on and off, until I couldnt' get up. Lilly and I parted and Bonnie and Brandon came to sit with me. Bonnie sympathised with my back problems and said she would lend me her medical corset so I can keep my posture and back straight. I know I will definately need this for class if this doesnt' get better this weekend. I'll call her about it soon.
Trama #2: I saw a car wreck as it happened. I was on a short bus on Liberty St. going past the convention center when I heard a noise and saw lots of movement to my left. (I had my headphones on but sliped them off) and I saw a silver Jeep turned completely upside down and crushed with shattered glass and the contents of the Jeep spilled over on the street. I remember seeing a coffee cup and thinking "Oh my god, I'm going to see if a dead body if I keep looking". Luckily the driver had their seat belt on and didn't fly out of the car. I still hope they're okay. I then turned to the bus driver and said "should we call 911?" but she pointed out that there happened to be a police officer there already, by complete chance. I then started to panic and my eyes started to water but no one was there to comfort me so I did my best to stop crying. No one noticed anyway. I then went to my teacher conference shook up and small aches in my back poping up (but my back was pretty good since I took some ibuprofen) My teacher asked me how I was and I told him 'shook up a bit' and told him about the accident. Otherwise my meeting went well and I am 'an excellent student'. because I rock.
I'm still shook up and I called Lilly and got her answering machine and told her about the accident and how shook up I was. She called me back just as I got to my dorm and told me to stay home and relax. (We were going to go to Sakura's tonight but we've decided to cancle and go to a tea house she found later this week. we get to dress up too I'm excited).
And that's my day...

Later that evening: Bonnie came over being the ray of sunshine that she is and brought me her medical corset. It's really big and bulky and is a bit big for me to wear but I can wear it in the dorm. I also have to make sure I sit up straight when not wearing it, and take ibuprofen so it doesn't hurt. We had a long chat at scafe' (like one of those movie scenes where two people are in one place but everyone around them moves really fast). It was awsome and made me feel better. I was also supposed to have dinner with Lilly at Sakura last night but we both cancled on account of me feeling bad. But we are going to a tea house this week so that will make up for it :) Gonna get lolified <3

Too many posts in one day
Too many posts today, I'm sorry but I wanted to write about my experience at the first Shoujo Phonebook club meeting tonight.
It was scary (at least to me)
Lilly drove us in her blue car (affectionatly known as "Chii"). Lilly herself was clad in BtSSB and Meta (if I'd known she was going in Lolita I would have too. I felt so plain in my converse and black shirt) :( When we got to the student center it was packed with students and was really noisey. Lilly found a seat (as her shoe had just broken and was hard to stand in) but I just stood next to a white collumb. Surrounded by so many loud and lively people my crowd anxiety started to kick in and I just wanted to go home. They then asked everyone to one by one, stand up and give their name, school year, major/minor, and name of their favorite comic book. It was soon made clear that the room was dominated by about 85% crazed Otaku girls, 5% mall goths, 5% RPG geeks, and misc. people. Whenever a manga like FMA or Naruto was named as a favorite there would be loud screams and shouts from other fans, which always caught me off guard and made me more nervous. When the time came to introduce myself I named Louie the Rune Solider as a comic I liked, and I got absolutely no responce.
After the 30-40 min of Otaku introductions and heads hitting tables in distain (mainly by non Otakus), the club officers proceeded to tell us about the club while people drew the newest instaulments of their webcomics, and talked to eachother. I stood there listening and waiting to sign the attendance sheet (or the club doesnt' get their money). After the meeting they were selling older editions of the SPbooks and making lots of 'one more anouncement's. Then a guy from Gamers Guild said something that made my night. He said the Gamers Guild was going to make their own RPG source book and needed writers/character artists. I did this in high school, here's a chance to draw interesting characters, while doing a better job of it, and maybe even get published! This friday I'll be there. Hopefully I can get a ride now... I'll let everyone know how that meeting goes too ^^ I'm really excited about it. However putting a book like that together is really a lot of work so I hope they are serious about it.
sorry if this sounded boring, I just hope it didnt' sound too emo 0_o I just didnt' feel very comfortable there. How do I ever make it alive out of cons?

Sequential Homework
I finally got photobucket to load something :/ Here is the lettering homework I had. The pencil art belongs to Andrew G. and the characters are from 'The Tick'. I wonder who's page I get to ink... I'll know tomorrow. Hopefully then I can upload more stuff to photoshop. (Please don't give any crit on the art, its' not mine. so there)
It was hard to letter this at first but it's a lot easier to do now ^_^ The Ames lettering guied is the rubix cube of sequential art. true story.
Bookmark update
Here are the sketches for the Hime (Princess) Lolita and Guro Lolita (still incomplete sketch).
I had some more things to show you but photobucket is being difficult -_-
My friend Lilly let me borrow two PostSecret books. I devoured them like candy. My heart feels heavy after reading them. I hope I can sleep better tonight. I haven't been sleeping very well and I don't know why, nor do I like it. I dont' want to take pills for it because it only started two or three days ago. Maybe I should drink more tea, it calms me down. If anyone has any tips for better sleep I really appreciate it ^^

Lolita Bookmarks Instaulment #1
Here is a preview of some of the lolita book marks I've done so far. I plan on doing Hime-Loli (Princess Lolita) one today. I'll keep posting when new ones are sketched/inked. I probably won't color them until I go home for winter break and order new inks for my copics/new prisma color markers.
These ones are Ero lolita, Kuro Lolita, Sweet (Pink) Lolita, and Steampunk Lolita (the style of which I am currently smitten with <3)
And I finally got to watch last friday's Avatar episode. (Thank you YouTube.com) I hope they do a soundtrack soon, this show has pretty good music so far.
And Meggers got one of these blogger blogs too :D So we be blogger buddies (LOLZ)
This one is for Meggers LOL
