Well I always like to start off with a little bit of music. Soo Spring Wind

Well, this summer has started off running and its been kind of enjoyable + or - a few parts. Worst part is I messed up my ear. I woke up and scratched my inner ear, and after that I have had just a bunch of pressure in that part of the ear. Weird, I've been taking NSAID's and some decongestants to see if that helps relieve symptoms its been doing ok, slowly getting better.update, just put a bunch of q tips down there and got enough wax to make a small candle... Gross...

Anyways, my brothers came and went, and it was fun to see them both mid year. We did the usual things and just hung out, nothing overly exciting but always fun. After that I drove down to LA to visit my brother...Yeah, I needed to get out of house and out from under my parents even if just for a little while. So I went to LA, and visited my brother. It was basically a staycation out of town. Yea, it was cool. Though I did get to go Arcade Infinity, and I would love to go back. There weren't any of the Blazblue or Super Street Fighter pro's there but there were people there, most of them around my level of play. Good but not great. Making it a lot of fun. I went 4-3 at super street fighter and 1-0 at blazblue Contium Shift (not yet released on consoles). Not bad for my first time :P (I was pretty nervous) . I only got a picture of the outside and no videos of me playing. But here it is, I got a video of my brother winning at Blazblue:CS but I forgot to give him my camera for when I went to play SF.

Arcade Infinity and the match

Ah, I finally got in part II of Clannad but I am not watching because of my messed up ear. Weird I know but I want to be able to just enjoy it, and take in the sights and sounds. With that I got in the Clannad OST (Notice I am in a Clannad phase in my life....) It really has been a great album. It was a wee bit expensive at 55$ but I could only find it at one vendor, so eh it was worth it. Its a great change of pace, with slower paced music, and a lot of emotional pieces.

Well since I was on vacation, I didn't get much drawing done, but I did start a picture and its taken me about a week in small 30 minute spurts to get this picture finalized. Its not perfect because I messed up the shading on the mid portion of the front section of hair, but it came out pretty solid. I'm actually pretty impressed with myself so far. I did another picture but that one was a lot of training and help me see what I was doing right and wrong. YOu can see on my photobuckeet if you choose to look for it. Catgirl

Ok we did lesson #2 and I think it came out well. With a little bit more guidance and some correction in what I am doing my pictures are beginning to look better. With his guidance I managed to do this picture. We are still focusing on the head of the body. We added in neck and shoulders to make a bust basically. So it was a little bit more this time and I got to ask a lot of question and show what I have been doing. So far progress is good. :3 I'm loving this.

Take care
