First off, I'm finally done with university; graduated cum laude and will be picking up my diploma soon!
Will be rounding off my internship with a summer contract and then hopefully move on to the next goal I set for myself, which is to work abroad.

But while I was out graduating, and doing intern things, I was granted a Daily Deviation for Sakura Dance! 



I'm very grateful to everyone who has supported me so far and allowed me to get to this point. Looking back to my older journal entries there were quite some hurdles to get over, and I'm very happy I managed to stay strong and get over them.

I'm glad this is the last damn day of October, because goddamn. This was the lowest damn point of the year.

So what the hell happened:

Start of the month I get ditched by my now ex. Alright, that's cool, it fucking happens. I decide to focus on doing my commissions and schoolwork.
I go in to the docs since my asthma medication is giving me problems in the morning. It's working too slow, so I can't breathe as much as I'd like to in the morning. They still don't have a solution.
 
A week or 2 later I was stressing beyond what I normally can take, I'm on my ladytime, my meds are still dumb, so naturally I pass the fuck out, hit my damn head to the point of a concussion.
Low ass blood pressure, because my stupid ass forgot to eat as well.
I'm glad I dropped in a place with doctors, so I was immediately looked at. I was forced to rest or risk something like permanent headaches. It was not like I could do anything; I spent the week after completely lost. I kept forgetting simple shit, I kept getting very long headaches, I kept falling asleep.

I'll admit, I cheated out of resting and went to school a couple of times so I could get reviews and update them on my status, but outside of that I avoided anything that would force me to use my brain all too much, because permanent damage doesn't sound fun. I'm afraid I did too much already since I'm having light headaches up to today, but I'm hoping it's just stress.

I had a checkup recently and she stated I still need to be a bit careful, but I'm allowed to work as long as I don't overdo it and sleep normally. For me that's hard because I'm behind on everything and the deadlines still stand. My teachers understand, but I still feel crap about it. 

But of course, when I tried to pick myself up again, my Intuos gives out. I've been contacting wacom support for a week now (repeating all the info I gave them like 3 damn times already to the point where I wonder if I'm talking to a bot) and have yet to hear any solutions. I dug up an old shitty bamboo and I guess that'll have to do until I replace this one.

tl;dr: Please standby as I try to fix everything breaking including myself.

Update: Finally got the ok to send in my tablet for repairs. They said it'll be under warranty, so that's good.

Hi, I haven't posted in a while. So what's up?

I've been pretty busy with my first year in a Visual Art bachelor at the NHTV, which focuses mostly on 3D for the AAA entertainment industry.
Next to that I decided to pick up a bit of programming, so my free time is quite limited. 

Probably been sleeping 3 to 5 hours average the past couple of months, but I'm happy putting in my 50 hrs a week (of which 40 are mandatory anyway) towards my goals. 

Shit's been rough, sure. I took some commissions to keep myself floating and I'm slowly working through them whenever I get the chance (thank you for your patience!). Haven't done much art other than school work as you might've noticed.

Some wips of the commissions I'm working on:

 
 
 
 
 

Other than my studies I've been working on getting my health back together and sorting my medical bills.
They got me good last year, to the point of having to sit on an empty fridge and other bills being overdue.
At that moment I honestly felt like everybody wanted a piece of me while I was falling apart.. That was the first time I couldn't afford my rent at all, and this was in the middle of trying to apply for uni; my ass was beat. 
I started thinking the universe was telling me that studying wasn't for me or some shit. 

Luckily with the support of a couple of good friends I pushed through. I'm slowly crawling back up from that, and hopefully it'll all be settled by summer. I'm too much of a pessimist (paranoid maybe?) to actually believe that though, so I try to be careful. e we;

Anyway, I hope your new year started good, and thank you so much for being a watcher.
