Oh hai.

*looks at previous journal*
Well, that didn't last, did it? Oh well.
I'll admit I've been drawing scarcely again, mainly due to game addiction. Especially now that I've discovered a market whose goal is to addict you as much as possible: mobile games. And also "microtransact" you to the bone, as I learned early this month. Argh.
But there's pics coming. Namely, a commission and two "artsong" things, one of which I'm attempting something...different. Decided to do that after seeing a few hundred digital art instructional videos, as I've finally got off my lazy ass and download a couple hundred GBs of those out of a torrent site specifically for that. Though there's a lot of skipping (some videos treat you as a retard), enduring (most of the artists sound utterly depressed or bored beyond human limits) and frustrating (You know, the classic "Oh, this seems easy...Oh wait, it's not." moments). So yeah.

Also, as per the journal title, I'm turning 27 tomorrow, while also having rowing in the morning and gamedev class by afternoon. It'll be an...interesting day.
By the way, by Doge, I feel old. e__e

Lastly, some random crap:

-Teacher decided to teach us Photoshop. Even allowed us to use a miniature, cheap wacom tablet. While everyone was learning about brushes and layers, I did this in about 1h30m: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j0odcrcs3...../lolz.png?dl=0

-The next "artsong" piece, in 3 stages: 3D, sketch, values:
