Blegh, screw blogging weekly. Schedules are hard to keep to. Blog whenever you want, how often you want! Yup!
Midyears in 2 weeks time... And yet here Claire is, blogging instead of studying. But since when have I EVER studied anyways... I mean, WTH I PASSED MY PSLE AND SEC 2 STREAMING WITHOUT EVEN BREATHING ON THE BOOKS UNTIL THE DAY OF THAT SUBJECT SPECIFIC EXAM ITSELF. ...I'm not a good role model. But I'm really gonna die this year at this rate... Just, try to study. At least a little. I highly believe I'm a GENIUS if only I try a little.
Anyways... Practising with tablet. Gotta improve if I ever wanna do any memes and art. So... Just a little something to show that Claire isn't dead yet.
Problems I have with it: 1. Lines waaaay too thick. And feathery. But it looks like charcoal pencil, which is A LITTLE nice. 2. HEAD. Specifically top of hair. 3. PROPORTIONS. THE BANE OF MY ARTIST LIFE. But surprisingly I always get perfect/near-perfect marks for proportion in my Fashion Design HW? O____o; Anyways, THE UPPER ARMS ARE WAY TOO STICK-THIN! 4. Is this... really my style...? Fail drawing due to noobness aside, I think my style changed... again. Damn. I liked my previous style... Okay so maybe this could be a pwnsome style with some practise, but.
By the way, something random I'm pretty sure no one noticed, 'cos it's being half-obstructed by the hair, but the way I drew the eye this time is different from how I normally do. XD
Claire IS still alive. You can do it, Claire, and you'd better improve quickly cos there's a whole PILE of memes waiting for you in order to test your skills on a tablet.
Anyways, I think I'll sign up for a tablet-usage-and-along-the-way-manga-drawing class. Gotta master my tablet... and Photoshop. Photoshop's being a major pain in the butt since the only 2 tools I actually know and use are only Brush and Eraser. ._______. Thing is, my mom's being stingy and insists I'll have to pay the full fee for the classes myself. Even though I'm telling her that it's an investment for my future. This is going to make me poor.
So, in an attempt to raise money, Gina and I have come up with a plan! Actually Gina came up with it and suggested it to me. Realized that all my Grand Plans which very seldom ever even work out are all interconnected yet? Anyone knows Dou Hao? The weekly Chinese mini-newspaper? There's a drawing corner, right? Apparently, if you submit entries in and your art gets chosen, you get money. Although how much money you get exactly we don't know. Sooo... The plan is... Submit art, get money (hopefully), and use the money to fund my classes! (*>w0)/ Yepyep. I've got no idea what Gina's going to do with whatever money she gets, though. So if anyone sees an artwork that looks like it's in my style in the papers, chances are, it's me. Upcoming week's theme... Legend, apparently, from Gina's translation. JY Claire, you an do it if you try!
And for fun, peace and laughter, just a super random video my brother and I were watching last night. We were literally laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. XDDDD
BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM, REMIX!!!!
XDDDDD If you play the game, or watch someone play it, you'll get why this is so hilarious. Oh at least laugh at the randomness of it all. But for best results, understand what's all the stunts about. This is all real, btw, not staged. As in, the guy's really doing it to total strangers. SO MUCH FOR STEALHINESS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love the last one, btw. The one where he went to spray the Batman symbol on the floor. I wonder how he made it explode. ORIGIN: In the game, you mostly use the detonating gel to explode walls so you can pass. But you can also spray it on say, floors, then when the bad guys walk and step on it, it automatically goes BOOOOOOOOOM!!!! and they get permanantly whacked out for the count. SO HOW DOES THE GUY MAKE IT REALLY EXPLODE IN REAL LIFE?!!! XDDD
This guy, is officially awesome. XDDD He has a heck lot more vids parodying other games. LIKE TETRIS HAHAHAHA I never knew it was possible to cosplay a Tetris block XDDDD There's another one, Metal Gear Solid 4, WHERE APPARENTLY HE AND HIS FELLOW COSPLAYER GOT THE REAL CREATOR OF THE GAME TO JOIN THEM FOR A WHILE IN THEIR RANDOM BOUTS OF AWESOME O___________O I'm seriously impressed. Are they THAT awesome? That the creator would actually join them to film 15 seconds of LOL?!!
The Elite Beats Agents one, honestly never heard of it before, but total WIN TO THEM DANCING RANDOMLY IN PLACES. ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHERE THEY INTENTIONALLY DANCED IN FRONT OF A CAR XD And got honked at XDDDDDDDD
You can laugh your butt off watching their vids.
