Add Another To The Herd

Well, add yet another Puella Magi to the growing cast stampede, this time Oriko Mikuni, the eponymous title character of the sidestory Puella Magi Oriko Magica. Let me tell you, drawing that full dress of hers was difficult for me, not for the design itself, but the messiness that preceded the finished sketch. All those …

Baselining

In the end, I settled for Yuma Chitose, Kyouko's sister-replacement from Puella Magi Oriko Magica. I was a little worried, as I don't have experience drawing kids. Her design was surprisingly easy to emulate though, and I think this one will need little clean-up when the time for giving it the line-art treatment comes. As …

Not As Promised

There really isn't much I could share about my day, aside from the fact that the pain in my left foot only bothered me slightly less than it did yesterday. The siesta I had this afternoon helped a bit, and it's possible that it'll be okay by mid-week. I hope that'll be the case, as …

Move Along Please

It's a little funny. The inner arch of my left foot had been aching since early this morning, to the point where it made me wince every time I placed my weight on it (which was every other step)... And yet I was till able to do a (very late afternoon) jog. In fact, this …

Rained In Again

Since I already mailed my final project last night, I didn't have to go to school today... Which was just as well, as it was raining almost nonstop since early this morning. This is normal for the season though, but this pretty much meant that wasn't able to go running during the afternoon. Yes, I …

One Less Worry

I just sent an email to my professor with my Translation project attached. That means that I no longer have to actually come to school tomorrow to turn in a physical copy. Hmm, which means I literally have tomorrow free to do whatever I want. Neat. Now all I have to do is decide which …

Fleeting Freedom

As of this writing I've completed my final project for my Literary Translation class. All I need to do now is email it to my professor and I'm pretty much done for the term. It's not as polished as I'd hoped, but then again this wasn't an ambitious effort to begin, so it all works …

Midweek Shuffle

It's Wednesday again, but after all those nights I'm this close to formally finishing my translation project. All that's missing are the footnotes for the actual translated text -- that'll take some work, but probably won't take a whole evening -- and the bibliography/references.  After that, I can just email the thing to my professor, and …

Wandering Eyes

Well that was certainly a mess of a day. I wasn't able to finish anything even remotely-related to my final project today. Ugh. Don't you just hate it when you get nothing productive done? I blame Blood Reaver. Truly I do.

Fear and Panicking

I should be writing the most important part of my project today, but I'm not. As with the usual case with me, I'm experiencing difficulty in actually phrasing my thoughts, nevermind doing so in a way that actually makes sense. Call it theoretical indigestion I suppose. What's actually annoying about this is the fact that …
