Gosh, how long has it been since I updated this thing? I'm sorry for keeping you guys wondering where I am, pondering whether or not I'd been dropped off the face of the Earth. My internet's been down for weeks, and I've only within the last few days regained access, so I've over 10 000 messages to sift through before I can reply, comment and fave, etc.  on anything. Meanwhile, I've also got news, some good, some bad, that's happened since my last entry back in January.

I finally have a tablet. I acquired it for my birthday a couple of months ago, and since then I've been playing around with different ways of blending, inking and all those other wonderful things you can do with Photoshop and a decent tablet. Of course, I'm too afraid to upload any of my sorry excuses for artworks until I've gotten a firmer grasp of digital art techniques, something which the numerous tutorials on here will aid. Any tips on blending techniques? It's an area I'm having a lot of trouble in.

Also, I've recently started picking up on my writing again. It's been hard, especially with some of the discouraging remarks I've gotten from some randoms. But my muse refuses to be boxed in by  illiterate idiots who can't even string together a sentence. I'm working on a combination of some fanfic and original writing, the former of which is heading towards 10,000 words now (phew!), and hopefully I'll be posting both on here soon. However, that's only if I can keep fueling my muse and not fall into the slump I did at the beginning of last year.

Oh, and hoorah for leaving behind my crappy school.
