Phew. That was a close call with the entry for the Winter Contest. I submitted it Friday night and the clock was going to tick midnight~! I don't know when the winners will be announced. There's still missing some entries into the main post including mine. Like I said, I don't expect to win. Sure it would be cool to win one of the 3 prizes but... It's not like I'm going to be sad if I get nothing.

University has restarted 2 weeks ago, meaning that I won't have time to draw until...a few months? It makes me angry because I really feel like drawing recently. The artistic vibe is burning inside. I often get that specific mood that I need to draw my stronger pieces. I can't really do anything about it. If I do take the time to draw, my grades will suffer. What's more important? I think you can all answer that question.

I finally got my screencaps for my drawing that is either going to be called Cry... for your memory or simply And Cry.... I'm not quite sure for the name yet, but I tend to like more and more the second one. I was really happy that someone took the time to do the caps that I needed. I can't wait to start that drawing~! Another piece that I believe will be important for me. "Someday, I'll want to feel the pain of the words I tell you"

I found another reference that I felt in love with. I found it on Facebook. I often browse people's photo gallery. This one is going to be into the "hatred" theme. I called the reference "You make me sick" just to give you an idea of what it's going to be about. That's another one that I really anticipate to draw. "Someday, the words I want to tell you will hurt, I'll want to say them so badly"

Both italic sentences are associated with the idea surrounding those drawings.

I've started working last night on my entry for the Winter Contest!

I was aiming for a short and simple drawing. Hum... It didn't really turn out that way >.> I should have known that it can never be simple with me! Okay, it's more like it'll take me more time than I thought.

Deadline: January 15th. Today: January 10th.
= 5 days left.

On another note. This is one of the rare drawings that I don't have the title before making it. I absolutely have no idea how I'm going to name it. I have a few key words like, "wandering", "spirit", "winter", "snow", yet I don't find any mix of words that feels right.

I also have no whatsoever idea what I'm doing! Generally speaking. It's really a "free for all" drawing. I draw without really knowing where I'm going. My mind is still blurry about the idea, but I just keep going because I only have 5 days left! Make that only today and possibly Tuesday. I don't have the time to draw during the week =|

A drawing without a title and a new style! I'm very excited about it (^-^) It's completely different from what I normally do. COMPLETELY! I guess I could classify it into the "anime" or "manga" category? And the new style comes with a new medium! Charcoal. I haven't work a lot with charcoal in my life. It's so messy. I love the results, the contrast is beautiful. The black is so pure. However, I really don't like the messy and troublesome side. Troublesome, why? You can't really erase charcoal once your paper tasted it. It's printed there and you're kind of f*ck when an accident happens. It can be very frustrating, and stressing.

Conclusion with this entry, I need to hurry and finish this drawing soon! I know that I won't win, there much more better entries for the contest. But I don't really care. I got an occasion to experiment with a new style and medium. That's what matters in the end!
