*HALLOWEEN SPECIAL*

In upcoming celebration of Halloween, I have made two pieces that would (I think) would be pretty cute costumes. Even though, I like the candy and cavity inducing celebration, I don't really do anything the night of the great orange moon. ... If anyone was wondering.

Gretel Fights Back

After finding the candy house in the woods, Gretel loses Hansel and had to fight with the evil witch herself. Look who's won?

きき

Even if I didn't do anything for Halloween, wouldn't Kiki from Ghibli Studio's Kiki's Devilery Service be a sweet and cute costume to throw on? After watching the movie again, I thought about being Kiki. Anyways, here is a tribute to a darker looking, longer hair-side of the witch.

Since I've recently had two midterms out of the three classes I'm currently taking and I've started reading World War Z AND I've been trying to paint as much as I can, I've been trying to divide tasks... mainly putting off on the studies. So bad, I know but hey! I'm finally done with 2 and a half of my midterms this semester and have to wait till the beginning of November to completely finish them all.

If ever on my Tumblr, you'll see a lot of kawaii based things I reblog.

PAINT WITH ME #007

So I've been on my painting and coloring gane recently and took advantage of having a little portfolio. So, I was like "Hell, why not just put small illustrations in there?" So just by cutting up some watercolor paper, painting and detailing with color pencils--voila! :)

Watashi wa Hachiko desu~!

As much as I like brushing up on my Japanese outside of class, I really am getting hit by school. x_x Oh school, keeping me busy. Anyways, being 18 is cool so far... I don't need my parents to sign anything for me, nor do I need their consent to do anything. I just need to take the next step and do the whole driver's license/ permit thing to do... Boo!

On another note, I have been drawing a lot and will have more posts coming more consistently~!

Don't leave me now despite midterms and tests~

DOODLE #027

After watching Grave of the Fireflies again and having the brief obsession with gas masks, I sketched a lot of masks and still had the movie in mind. I drew up a character and basically based her off of Setsuko--patterned pants, yellow shirt, and even her little purse. I sketched her as if she grew out of her clothes.
Just the happening of war and being such a little girl is a crazy thing to think about, especially the struggles that she and her brother had to face. It's just something that anybody has to watch~
