eternal under appreciation

Not the hat silly!
Fantasy Earth Zero is making a contest at deviantart, which I'm joining.
Though my entry will really take all time it needs to get finished... ouch.

Here's a peek:

Totally missed it this year, wasn't as much fun when Sweden got kicked out before finals. (Ah well, hated our song anyway, pfff.)

Victor and Joseph are totally giving their coins for their country's song tho:



IRELAAANDD! XDD

(Ireland's song was so cheezy, I couldn't hate it,,, it was... so much fun I died. Wish our song was as epic.)

Sorry for the low updates this week! m(___)m

Well, it've been a calm yet interesting week. Came by this butterfly exibition at the library the other day.


This was just a small part of the owner's collection.
Some of the butterflies were REALLy big. Scary but pretty on the same time, scary!

I've also been busy studying.



Like handsome Charles *COUGH* here. Playing in the laboratory is lots of fun, tho having to write reports afterwards..... COME ON! I want fredoommm, it's like, 2 weeks left of my highs chool life.... Ah well, maybe I shoudle njoy it best i can.

One week left of school... i've still some few things to finnish, but mostly everything is done. I really look forward to being free... for at least two months.


-My poor Aegis've lost her head... (It snapped when i tried to turn it a bit too much while trying to make one of the promo poses). But with some fixing paste it you can't even tell. And her head can turn in the most dynamic poses now. But i do NOT reccomend you to snap the heads of your figmas. XD

I'm thinking of making a small art book containing lots of the sketches I've posted here as well as other, more epic pencil works.
This is a progress of the cover... you can say:

 

It've been so rainy of late, not that I mind; really enjoy playing Chopin's op. 28-15 (Raindrops) during days like theese. Also a good day for Zelda games! *laughs*

Thank you everyone who came and watched me paint details of this one yesterday by the way!
I'll uppload a work in process here, enjoy! <3

Had chem test today, it went really well! So now imma gonna spend the rest of the evening sketching stupid stuff.

It seems like that dude broke the world record after all! Horray! Though... all my friends who saw him do it live says it was all just a joke; the guy didn't even run! He was just hauled town to the ground like a bunge jumper. Ah well, I guess... 

I've been a bit sick/busy of late, got a really big test coming up on Wednessday.... All i can manage to draw are those 3 minute thumbs... Yeah, they look really weird. XDD

 
Pfff whut?

Something tragic happened yesterda in my town; a 16 year old girl got murdered by a aquintance; he was the same age on top of that. I felt so horrible and disgusted I had to skip my planned study streak at the library and go home. Dunno, but there was this cold mood in town, so if I'd stayed I'd just start thinking about the discussions we had about it in class.

On another note, a world record is about to be beaten in town this very week!



A man is going to (or at least try) beat the current record for 100 meters "vertical run" this saturday, preparations could be seen around Skrapan (the only real sky scraper in my town, lul). This seems so cool, sadly I can't see it since I'm having my school bal the same day. *sobs*

Whoa, a real LIFE entry for once! This is strating to feel like a real blog, haha.

Man, finally! May is here, and with it a brilliant blue sky and shining sun! And the buds are finally blooming! I've missed the feeling of true spring, I feel so touched, haha.

Not much drawing have been done this week end, mostly I've just worked on the comic, eagerly avaiting the arrival of my brand new Wacom Bamboo Fun: Pen and Touch tablet! I sure hope I'll get more reasons to use CG once I get it, thanks to everyone who brought my books at SPX, if it weren't for you i wouldn't be able to afford it. <3


Updated this one.


+ a redesign of an old character, shiding is such a handful.

Jacoobb

And finally, my Maochao busou shinki managed to get past the volcano ash and arrive home! (Had brought her before the previous doll actually. But due to you know what Murmeliter got to me first because it was sent within the country!)
Here's some epic shots! <3








Some epic pics on Mur too.

It's over now, and man if I had a goood time. XD

Disclaimer - SPX (Small press Expo) is an anually held messe where comic artists from the whole nation assemble to sell, buy and mingle togheter with other artists. 

 

- Friday.
I went to the expo area to drop some loot at the table and register my table. I got to hear that many people came by and stared at them...



- Saturday-
When me and Ai arrived we discovered that a bit remodelling of the room had been made before we got there. Happilly, our neighbors, Elin and Oscar recognized my style and made sure nothing happened to the books. thank you so much guys!

Speaking of which, I just HAD to buy Elin's book, Umbra! The picture doesn't give it the justice it deserves. TwT



And so the noon went on, consisting of lots of walking, shopping, selling and... some sneaky shots. Here's Nosebleed's table, including the Balista sisters!



I also started doing those... 'epic signings' on the ADKOS vol 2 books I sold....



This is Ai's copy btw.

For lunch we went down the street to Kungsträdgården where a Japanese spring festival was being held. There was some tents selling delicious Japanese food and snacks. *w*



And also lots of Japanese people! You heard people talk japanese everywhere. I managed to stumble on three of them... haha, fail.

We brought a bento and some other stuffs to eat, and then went on to the merch. tents where Ai brought a really thick native Manga mag. We kept laughing at the comics in it, save us from boredom.



 



-Sunday-

The last day of the messe!
Today the last book was sold, so as you can see we only had some prints left for sale, though sale didn't go as well as yesterday it didn't get us down. Instead we used today to look around and talk, I also took the chance to search some publishers up.

We then returned home from a weekedn filled with comics, money, furry fighting games (lol) and random jokes with a great smile on our faces, just like those two:



- Oscar and Elin, CHEERS! Can't wait to meet you again in the next SPX!! <3

Wohoo, got my first Shinki doll today! 8D





more pics + info later, gotta rush now!

It really starts feeling like summer's on it's way up here! The weather is getting really hot, and the people on the street are all stripped, seriously. I'm thinking of getting myself a new spring jacket, guess I'll need to go do some research around the ones they have in town. 



Haven't had much time to work on this one... been a whole week since i touched it! *regret* D8
But it's slowly coming togheter, hehe.

Man, i hate getting sick in the start of the week because it'll linger on through the whole week since I've NO TIME to heal during school days.

Sitting in school while writing this.
Showed my teacher the Mauritz preview I had printed, she seemed really hyped for some reason, haha. Though it made me really happy when she todl me she had great beliefes in the comic due to it's quality in both visuals and story.

I really do hope the publishers I'm about to show the book to will agree with her.

More peeks:

Yay! Almost 40 pages done!
