Dear Blog, I haven't forgotten about you...

It's just that I have nothing new to show right now :(

I've finished uni now, very busy at the end which is why I've not updated in a while but it's all complete and handed in now so expect something soon :) I had a right kick in the teeth when my USB was stolen, lost everything. All my W.I.Ps, some uni work and everything I've been collecting over the years I've been at uni. I almost lost my sketchbook too which would have made things much worse and I would have collapsed into a pool of frustration and cry away my life. But luckily I at least found my sketchbook :)

So since I've lost everything, I've decided to take the opportunity to experiment which some art styles and go back to just having fun drawing. I've gotten way to concerned with the finished line art and that's taking the life away from the drawing. I've been told that my finished pieces look stiff or wooden and that the sketchwork and planning looks a lot better. So I'm dropping the mechanical pencil and drawing in coloured pencils and pen.

I've also lost all the work I did for my fiance's bloodbowl club, the trophies, logo's, everything. So that's what I'm working on at the moment! I'll put them up once the current tournaments over and the winners have the trophies.

In other news (and it's pretty good news!), my Dad very very very VERY kindly bought me a new computer. My last one blew up a year ago right at the start of my last year at uni (helpful!) and I've had to live in the labs to work all year. I originally asked him what I needed to run the software I wanted, I told him the specs of the software and he told me he'd get back to me. An hour later he told me I needed to be in the next day because a computer's coming! I felt so so bad because my parents aren't in a great financial position at the moment but my Dad wouldn't let me put money towards it or anything. So I'm very grateful to him right now. Thanks Dad :')

So! tl:dr - Uni's done, lost USB therefore everything, life, pics soon :) kthxbai
