The Child of Light

The Child of Light fanart. Also submitted in my deviantart account.

Hello again. Sorry for not updating! I made a blog with my friends, you can check it out here. I'm trying (again) to be active online. Maybe cross-post some posts I made at our group blog, and maybe update my deviantart and tumblr from time to time as well. I need some routine in my life hahaha. 

I made this fanart with markers and very light lineweights. I'm trying to emulate my friend's style on this one. Unfortunately, my stubborn messy style took over HAHA. Oh well. It looks okay to me!

Applause / Allergy

 Uh... hi. This piece is inspired from Lady Gaga's new single "Applause" / upcoming album "Artpop". So excited! This does not look like Lady Gaga at all! Just made a quick sketch so I could copy the makeup style with watercolor. When I finished this piece I was sooo satisfied with my work. Days later: meh. Hahaha.

I was supposed to upload a different artwork but I threw it away. Why? I'm apparently allergic to chalk and charcoal! My eyes and hands were itchy and I kept on sneezing, ugh. I tried doing another artwork using oil pastels : NOPE. Still allergic (or maybe because of the dust? I used my 10 year old oil pastel set). Oh well~ I miss using my messy art materials. Maybe I should do this everyday so I could relax. Hmm.

Mother.

    
Sorry for not updating.
I've been practicing realistic style since last year. Any improvements? Maybe. 
I don't draw as much as I would like anymore.
Reasons? No time, boredom, busy with review and board exams (I passed btw~).
Now looking for a job related to my course.
I'm still thinking if I should update this blog more. (or not).
Mmm.

A drawing for a friend whom we call mother. Reference: her fb profile picture.
Posted it on deviantart.   

That's all for now I guess? 

Terra

Terra Branford from FF6

An art trade with a friend of mine. She requested Terra from FF6. I used bockingford paper and prang watercolor set for this one. I also used my etude house nail polish for the sparkly areas HAHAHA. Hmmm... still not satisfied with it. I want to retouch the hair some more, create a background, add more details on the details, etc. Sigh. I would always look at the `finished` piece and say "Ah, looks good, pwede na to!" then after a while I would go "wtf is this sh*t!? It must be improved!".

Anyway. Here's Terra on my deviantart

Scanning

Good Morning? I just woke up haha. Since I've left the workforce a couple of days ago I've been lazy so I decided to scan my doodles. (Also the fact that I'm on my pc now instead of my laptop). Sooooooo, yea.

Manila Ocean Park

(mmm, seahorse)

We went to Manila Ocean Park the other day. Commuting there was actually an adventure itself. Went on 2 trains and a long walk in Rizal Park to Manila Ocean Park. The last time I went to MOP was 2 years ago. It was inspiring and I could see that they were really trying their best for the conservation of the marine life there. The signs regarding the fishes were readable and really...informative. Now? It seems that there are less fishes than 2 years ago, I wonder why? Some fishes which were shown on the signs were also not present in the said aquarium. I also noticed that some of the signs are not readable now.

(Shark napping?)

Besides, the only reason we went here was because of their summer promo! Which included the trip to antartica / penguin exhibit. I was really excited on seeing penguins for the first time! Penguin is my favorite animal ♥

PENGUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN.

We also took pictures with them for 400php♥. Expensive yes but really worth it for me to see them up close and feed them ♥. After the exhibit, we had dinner at Makan Makan. Interesting place! Not a lot of customers though, due to the interior design and ~feel~ of the place? Hmm. Beautiful view of Manila Bay + delicious food + violin/guitar ensemble + with Ram = worth walking from Rizal Park to M.O.P. ♥

Teh Tarik !

The interior design of Makan Makan. It was supposed to look like an asian street market of some sort.

Sorry for the awful writing and thank you for reading!

Birthday

My Chocolate toffee birthday cake from Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee.

(I bought this yesterday at their Tomas Morato branch with my dog after work. Yeah, I brought my dog at work. It's because they wanted to see him plus the fact that it was my last day there. I'm sure I will miss their company. Walking with Taba is fun, he understands my commands whenever we cross the street or walking at the right place. He's not scared of cars also, which is a plus. Also very friendly with people. Brought him inside KoCCo - thank you for letting him stay inside! He was well behaved, I'm so proud ♥ ).

Sooooooooooo. I sang `Happy birthday to me` around 10pm on April 4 because I wanted to eat my cake early, haha.

Spent the day with mama and a friend at Ace Water Spa. I really love swimming!

As for the doodles, will upload soon since I have a lot of time now.
