Just making a few adjustments. Sucks to have a personality that's never satisfied much with anything. LOL. But yeah, I'm keeping the things I posted in the past for myself...for now. I think it's time to start anew.

It's probably just me being critical...but I feel like the past posts were obvious evidences of my aimlessness and "cluelessness" as to what to do with my yuppie life. Hahah, hopefully this time I'll be more structured...and my posts will have more direction than before. We'll see. Sorry...I really tend to be self-conscious about the stuff I do, and sometimes it's not even funny anymore. Bleh.

Let's just see... :)

For now check out some of the stuff I'm practicing on at DeviantArt!

Being tired gives you angry thoughts

what if i've finally failed more than seven times???

pano na??

i really think that seventy times seven thing has a catch.

like, for every forgiveness you asked for...you will pay the price for this setback you did last time, and pay with health problems for this thing you did the other time, etc etc etc.

you are forgiven, but the consequences will never go away.

never.

not ever. whatever they say, you will feel good, yeah, but you still have those damn scars. something like what happened to kenshin when he finally died in the end after killing all those people and he got some disease that ate his flesh away so he was forced to live in solitary confinement and have a bitter son and a sad wife.

/end rant.

just really pissed off I never get to finish anything at all. Any. Thing. Pfft. Also, I just want to do something I can call my own, but stuff just happens and decides that you should never have anything done by yourself. What happened to creative license??


Seriously.


Ugh.

Sorry.

I'll make up for this.

Below the Clouds

"The sky rarely clears up in this area, and if ever it does, you barely see the things beyond. There are things up above that aren't stars, and there are actually people who live there among the eyries."

The boy just nods, even when he finds everything the old man says as simply stories and never a fact. I mean come on, people on floating cities called 'eyries'...pfft. Really?

Attempted a bit of matte painting...but I fail. Since I didn't even use any picture as reference material for the background. Haha.

Been researching on things related to flight and aviation...and some legendary flyers like Amelia Earhart and the Wright Brothers.  Now I'm having serious information overload and I should get some sleep.

The long holiday's over sadly. :(

Quiet times

Still thinking of names and ideas. Maybe you can suggest a name for the girl? LOL

On afternoons, after spending most of her days doing flight exercises and other stuff about aviation, she likes to climb up to the highest peaks of their eyrie...sometimes just to watch the sunset paint the clouds and her floating town in majestic colors, other times to sketch out ideas for the next design for her glider, and/or probably just to catch a glimpse of the cloud sprites.

Cloud sprites are cute floating creatures with a bit of spark and fizzle in them. They are made from clouds and lightning. When touched, they do give a bit of buzz perhaps to keep you alert and from being drowsy so as not to fall from the tall peaks. I wouldn't exactly say they're living creatures...but they do seem to have moods portrayed by the colors of their center -- just like the huge clouds that they hail from. :)

A little back story on this piece...

I almost thought I'd never be able to post it since my PSCS6 crashed on me...but alas! Lo and behold!!!

It apparently has a new autosave feature or recovery feature that catches your image in the nick of time lest the program dies out on you. Hah! Ingenuity at its finest I must say. I doff my hat to you, Adobe. Yes, yes.

The Prodigy

I think I'll just develop a story throughout the Thirty Days Project.

For the next 28 days you'll see a development in the characters, world, etc. of this story that's been on my brain for almost 2 years now. Hopefully I'll be able to define the important aspects of it soon, and to get this thing going full speed ahead.

discern what is true from false. so as not to hope on things that aren't certain.

Hello.

It's been a while since I was here. Haha. Still don't know what to do, really. Since last I've been here I'm just going through the motions, putting up a face and all that just to get by.

Sometimes I wonder if the internet has made everything all too familiar that the sense of wonder and satisfaction in discovery is gone. But maybe that's just me...I mean, I'm sure if I went out to the real world, I'd end up going back to my cave to type it all in and share it about for the world wide web to see and take part in the joy I'm having.

And yet, it still makes me think that from an audience's perspective...seeing something shared on the net makes it lose the element of surprise on discovering it on your own (not to mention proving something to yourself that what you heard was actually real and ten times better in person). That, plus the excitement and the memory of it being burned into your brain until your time comes to pass.

Everything's just so easy now that everybody's easily tired.

...

I really should get out more. Heh.
