Hey all, I'm back on the weekly upload schedule it seems!
I still do things during the week, but lately with the weather (yay for grey winter days :c bleh) I don't find the motivation to draw much. I might sketch or color something here and there but I tend to be really lazy in the week ;; whoops. I've got a BUNCH of resin things I need to finish putting straps and stuff on, then I'll get those posted hopefully this coming weekend?
And I've also started studying basic Japanese in preparation for a trip Zephur and I are planning for the future (whenever travel is a thing again at least)! I'm not very good but am making a decent bit of progress so far! He still had his textbook and a workbook from his college courses and let me borrow them c: He took three levels of Japanese while in school so he's helping me learn too. I can read hiragana and some katakana so far, and recognize a lot of nouns, numbers, etc. but am starting verbs too! So I'm hoping to keep studying and be conversational enough to get around Aomori without relying toooo much on Google Translate haha;;
Something I've kinda picked up as a result of us planning that trip is journaling, at least as a sort of planning for the trip! There's a shop that's opened up in one of our local malls that, in short, is basically like a mini dealer's room at an anime con. They have plushes, figures, blindboxes, snacks, etc. but they also have a table just for stationary and school supplies! So I'm using a notebook from there for my Japanese study and using a second bigger notebook as a trip planning journal! I've also fallen in love with all the different stationaries that exist out there and I may or may not have ordered a looot of sets ;; I might occasionally post pages from the journal here as well. The writing might not be super legible, but the writing also isn't super important as it's mostly background info on things to do with Japan, trip planning, ideas, etc. I'm just kinda proud of how I can lay out the pages and set things up c:
I've also started/returned to collecting blindbox/gacha/mystery bag type things again. Blindboxes and lucky bags are some of my favorite things to get at cons, but obviously with current events, cons haven't been happening. Luckily I've been able to find things in local shops and on Etsy and while it's not quite the same, it's still really fun to try my luck c: I currently collect whatever catches my attention, but specifically I like Sumikko Gurashi, Tokidoki, anything cat themed, and Cinnamoroll! But tbh I like a LOT of San-x and Sanrio characters! Those are just some of my favorites c: I'm still collecting enamel pins and Fursona pins as well, maybe I should post a picture of my boards at some point!
Last thing I promise! If anyone would ever be interested in trading items for art/adopts, please feel free to reach out to me! I'd be more than willing to provide an Amazon or Etsy wishlist to work with c: I'm also willing to trade art for enamel pins or other merch, especially anything Vulpix related that I don't already have c:
This got a bit longwinded, but I wanted to post at least SOMETHING this week so you guys know what's up! Hopefully it's not too boring c:
