I'm back... ish (I need to upload something...) But I wasn't really gone. I've been in on dA every day to check on all the arts by you wonderful people Although being a loser I don't always comment ^_^'
But yeah, so obviously I'm back from Spain (my god I haven't updated this in a while) and... well, stuff. Spain was great, we also went to London and I got loads of pictures everywhere (but I don't consider them art-quality and I don't want to flood my account with them)
So, yeah, what's new with me? (you might be wondering?)
I have my job, when I got back from my vacation I went on as Full-Time, and I got moved to a different team, where I have my own little projects to manage (which is so fun and stressful!)
Therefore I also got enough of my own money to get an apartment, which we've been in for almost the whole lease already and we're looking at another really cool place to move to when it runs out (closer to buses, more floor space)
The bilingual children's book I was working on has finally been completed (1st edition, at least) and is for sale! Available at Lulu.com (although it's pricey because of the Lulu markup >_< )
And I turned 23 on the 18th of November! So now I'm old! -ER!
It's been a pretty exciting time, but I have been drawing this whole time... it's just that the scanner doesn't quite work yet and there are more important things to do around here than to fix it... aheh.
But art! Soon! Hopefully!
Happy December, everyone! Hope it's a good month for all, especially with the way things went these last 2 months.

Hello all! So, update:
1. I graduated!!!! I now have my bachelors of arts in Architectural Studies! WOOT!
2. I got a job at an architecture firm I've been working at all quarter. It rocks.
3. In about 4 hours I'm headed to Spain for a month long vacation hopping around Europe (kinda, mostly just Spain)

When i get back I shall try to update with more art and stuff that I've actually done recently. I mean, seriously, gah!
Anyway, my typing sucks when i'm rushed, and i'm running out of time to make sure everything is place here at home. Take good care of the internets while I'm gone, try not to fill my Message box too full of deviations O_O (actually....)
MWAH!

Wow, I've almost got 13000 Pageviews. That's pretty cool!

I feel kindof bad for not posting anything really nice in a while. Heck, I never post anything really nice, it's usually just sketchdumps or doodles. ^_^' I guess I just never work superhard on any one thing that is not school (OH WHOA, which reminds me of something I really need to do after I submit this. WHOOPS.) since outside of school I have no time to work on any one thing for too long.

But! It is spring break, and I am le unoccupied and ze time stretches before me like a cat in a sunbeam. I am FINALLY almost caught up on my reading (well, at least one more book into it) and am full of awesome energy. It is time to draw!

(Hey guyz, if ya want some free music to work to, check out the free download of Nine Inch Nails' "Ghost I" at www.ghosts.NIN.com It's all instrumental and pretty good for drawing late at night in the dark. Oh yeah.)

I had to make my own website for class (for a couple classes in the past year, actually) and it's finally to the point where I should link it. It looks very WEB 1.0, but it has a load of PHP and stuff going on in the background that I am quite proud of. Anyway, check it out if you want to see what I am up to architecturally, since I never post any of that stuff here:
Stephanie's Online Portfolio
Looking at it, I realize I need to add some pictures that are not of the models. The models are totally not my strong point. Ugh.

I was just sick of seeing that old dAjournal entry.

Hallo!

I'm a busy busy busy bee lately. I am FINALLY being paid for my art! I'm so happy! Currently working on illustrations for bilingual children's books, it's a venture so hopefully it'll get published, and the authoresses buy the watercolours. XD it's happy joy! Unfortunately they're pretty big so I can't scan them at home.
Also doing graphic design and layout stuff for pamphlets and business cards.

On top of that, for school I'm working hard on my studio stuff and classes (including making a website! It is required to have frames.)

And THEN (busy bee!) organizing a fencing lecture sponsered by my club, all sorts of paperwork and reservations and fundraising. It's going to be so awesome.

So understandably I have had little time for messing around, even with my new tablet (<3! it's so tiny) and I can't even read lately, so audiobooks are my friends. I can't wait to get to the new Stephen King book I have sitting on top of my bookshelf, looking balefully down at me pleading to be opened.
(and yeah, watching an anime when I have time. But only Higurashi and Emma)

Bzzzzzz.

Oh wow, time has been flying. I turn 22 next weekend on the 18th. How crazy is that? I'm so old! And I'm still doodling little cartoon characters and stuff!
I should upload some of my more serious art (oh wait, I don't have any) and architecture projects...
Yes I have been studying! >_> usually.

*leans subtly towards her Devart wishlist... i still collect postcard sized prints... <_<*
