Triptych-Schift

Hey, it's been quite a while since I've updated anything on here (feels like years). A lot has been going on in life and I haven't been able to pay much attention to my dA. To be honest I haven't been drawing or doing much to sustain my creativity unfortunately. But it's a new year and as cliche as it is, I hope to get my life in order, spend some time getting back into art and fashion, and pursue some goals. In all honesty I can't promise I will update here as often as I did way back when but I do have some art/fashion related plans rolling for the future. I will be doing another j-fashion photo shoot and I've plans to vend at artist alley at a local convention but I'll reveal more info on that when the time comes!

But anyway I hope everyone had a great holiday/break, thankful that 2017 is over, and cheers to a better and more enriching 2018!

Like I said I'm not as active on here anymore but that is not to say I won't update anymore. I still periodically check up on notifications and post, just not as often. If you're interested in following me on other platforms/social media here is my tumblr and instagram where I'm more active.

Yooo brahhs, how's everyone? Hope you're all swell. I've been pretty inactive here but I'm not dead yet just ridiculously busy hahaahhhhh! Just to put it out there (totally not spamming just kidding this is spam) I will be hosting my first artist alley table at Sun Devil Fan Fair with the one and only . It's a super small (1st ever) comicon held at my uni but it's FREE ADMISSION!!!! WHOAHHOAHA WHAT FREE??!!!! Yeah son! It is a one day event from 11am-5pm on April 13th, so for those of you living near the Tempe area feel free to attend and maybe say hi! I'll be selling prints and doing small commissions HOPEFULLY....at least that's the plan LOL. (If you couldn't tell I wasn't prepared for this at all but HEY-...............uh...yeah I got nothing.)

\(i-i)/ yehhh excitement!

Yoooo what's up, it's that time of year again! My account's been pretty dead but hey summer's about to start and I'm reopening commissions! Alongside that I've planned many things to catch up on the following months. One…well… _{not art related but I'm building a robotic hand for a competition...} so YES SCIENCE!! That's exciting. You know what else is exciting? PCC2013! I haven't bought a ticket yet hah T_T but I plan to go Fri. or Sat! After 2 years OTL. Another is I hope to have a fashion shoot where I'll have some people model the clothes/concepts I've made but never had time to do myself. They've been accumulating and if I do it myself it'll just be the same lame location/variants over again. so lame But IT'LL BE FUN. I've done absolutely no planning for it yet whatsoever…like where, when, who, how?!?, it's going to be sweltering hot outside BUT I'M GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN….. _HOPEFULLY. So locals, if you have any ideas for some punk/v-kei shoot locations…hit me up lol.

Hello everyone!!!!!
Oh man, I'm still alive 0-0!!! I sincerely apologize. I've been so busy the past several months that I haven't been able to log on here until just now. So all those replies I haven't responded until now since like...........6 months I am so SO SORRY.

Some news that may/may not be disappointing: If it wasn't evident enough I haven't been as active on here as I was before . I just haven't had any time to create anything and it feels like it's taken its toll on me. I don't mean to spew my troubles on here. I'm sure many of you, like me, use art as an outlet. Not being able to draw anything or do any sort of personal project, for almost half a year. Overall I feel quite drained, out of spirit, anxious, uninspired, unproductive, and unmotivated. The past several months, I guess school has really taken a lot of my time and drained me of energy. LOL what is sleep. It really saddens me. Meanwhile I still want to keep on doing the things I used to do, improve, become inspired again as well as maintain balance with school ... but I must first improve my health. I'm not saying that I won't post on here anymore but as of late I haven't been posting as much as I'd like to. Hopefully before the new year I will recover from this horrid funk and definitely become my old self again. I'm more active on Tumblr though OTL wth.

But enough with that. I'm late but MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! At least I'm not too late to wish everyone a happy new year ! I hope everyone's holiday is going well. I'd like to hear how everyone's holiday went! Mine could've been better but it ended up being quite alright. I lost my phone right as my break began ;__; but got a new-ish one for Christmas LOL. T_T Man, phones are so expensive.

I log onto this site after freaking 6 months of dormancy and what do I find? THIS --> magnificent creature has bestowed me a years membership to dA. *HOORAY!!!!! CAKE!!! EVERYWHERE!!! _{not really but that's okay}* All the more reason to hurry and recover. ALL MY THANKS!!! Thank you so much!! You spoil me too much lol.

Oh and after two years of missing out, I will be attending a local anime/comic convention Taiyou Con ! Although I think I may only be there Friday, if you are also attending, feel free to say hello! I will be participating in the J-Fashion show by helping with 's line in the show.

Hey everyone Hope everyone is faring well especially with final exams quickly approaching XD. Which also means summer break is also quickly approaching afterwards ! YEEEAAAHHH! I haven't made any plans yet OTL. But I've heard from a few others their plans and it sounds like everyone has fun plans .

Originally I was planning on going to PCC 2012 this year but the possibility has quickly been reduced to "may not even happen". Last year I went to PCC which was a fiasco and only spent a few hours there. I got maybe at most 1 hour to explore before I had to leave. The place is huge, an hour isn't enough lol. During that time I was consistently monitored by my father. My family is extremely overprotective. I'm mean it was neat to bring my dad there and expose him to this sort of pop culture. He enjoyed going but I felt I didn't really get a lot of time to experience PCC2011. I ended up following him most of the time OTL. This year's PCC 2012 is what I hear even larger than last year. However for several reasons, it's a slim possibility I'll be going this year :I which is quite disappointing. A first in the past 3 years.  Not to mention I haven't been paying attention to the program this year since I've been so busy with school OTL.

Ahhh well besides that I guess there has been a somewhat funny/interesting development in my personal life. It's usually boring most of the time XD. I've spent a lot of my life running away from drama usually for good reasons but it's unavoidable somehow T_T.
Recently a friend I haven't seen in almost a year invites me to hang out with other friends. Of course I agree. It was fun for the most part but everyone was acting really suspicious. Random snippets of conversation about an unnamed individual who decided not to come that night would constantly pop up the entire evening. It was suspicious because I felt like they wouldn't mention details when I was in the room T__T. I felt paranoid like they were trying to keep a secret from me. SO CONFUSED ALL NIGHT but I ignore it thinking it wasn't any of my business.
When it was time to go home suddenly EVERYONE admits to me "This was not the original plan." ....wait what do you mean 'this was not the original plan'??? I thought the plan was play cards, eat dinner, play games, just hang out, objective achieved right??? RIGHT??? What was the original plan O_O???? Suspicious indeed...

Me and this friend have a history. She would egg me into trying to start something with a certain individual but I always declined. It didn't bother me much and I didn't do anything about it since I didn't really care.
At that point of the evening I already thought of an explanation which made sense and I didn't like it :I. I thought she was trying to set me up with that individual who ended up not coming XDD!!! I could've been jumping to conclusions but I couldn't think of anything else that made sense and knowing how my friend was >:I HOW MEDDLESOME!!!! The moment I start asking for explanations though everyone plays dumb even after they just admitted to planning something. BUT THE IMPLICATIONS DEAR GOD. If everyone that was invited that evening was IN ON THIS....HOMG FML it's over...game over. everything. . I am mortified. That's jumping to conclusions though. But I never learned the truth that night. I will find out eventually >:I HRRRRGGGGGGGG WHHHHYYYYY?!?!??!?!????? Safe to say this friend is draining, she's quite difficult to deal with LOL. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?! I'm so tired T___T.
Well just something funny that happened recently that I thought you'd all find amusing XD. I talked about this in more detail on tumblr.
