Today is my "anniversary": Exactly two years ago, Dec 20th 2004, after I started the Seven Deadly Sins with my Vanity and now, I finish the project by releasing Wrath on Dec 20th 2006.

Honestly, I feel accomplished but yet... a bit sad and empty inside. :/ It's a huge chapter of my life, now closed. *sighs*

I was thinking of submitting this piece to the gallery, but finally decided not to: To keep the series consistent technique wise, I had to lower my usual quality.. And so, I was scared people would poke my eyes out for it :P

Well anyway! I have been constantly working to improve my technique, and here's a preview of my newest soon-to-come piece. It's a commission, a painting depicting an angel. Not my usual colour theme, nor stylization, but I think it's coming out rather okay...

Here's a preview:


And for a very irrelevant note: I'm starting to learn guitar playing (classical) :P I'm very excited!

Well, that's it for now. Bye bye and see you soon in the 2D section!

Oh, how I hate painting on tight deadlines, while I am ill. My "Tea Time" I had to finish in like 3 days with a bad bad flu and a fever. :(
Right now I have thankfully finished it, so I can recover in peace....

Anyway, I am very sorry for not updating and my blog being generally boring. I promise I will post some WIPs here, as soon as I start working on anything new.

My next work will probably be something done for fun, like an autoportrait, which I have been planning to do for *ages*. After that, it's some commercial work, art nouveau style, and afterwards the last of my Deadly Sins serie - Wrath.

That's it for now, I'm off to bed to get some rest.

Take care, guys.

Hello guys

Wee, that's my first journal entry in here

I will use it to share some WIPs most probably, or osme images I don't wnat published yet and so on. I will try to update it regularly, too

On to the topic though:
Ever had the problem that your head is filled with so many idea. but none captivating enough, that you don't know what to put your hands into, and you end up with painting little, even though you want to paint a lot? That's what is happening to me now, it's so frustrating!

I think I will take a few days off and just read a lot, go to a museum or something, to gain my inspiration back

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer
