So the last time I wrote a journal entry was back in October?  

I'm still around, still here.  Just, it's been crazy busy, Christmas, New Years, waiting for the extension to finish.  Waiting for Uni to start.  

Ever since I uploaded my last image, I really haven't done much art work even though I said I wanted to try and do at least 5 environment designs a week.  But without a proper work space (i.e. lack of a bed room/desk) it has been hard.  However, I have done some small sketches in my note book.  

I'm also in the midst of waiting for Uni to start.  Starting a brand new degree, Bachelor of Media majoring in Game Art, so when I'm not slaving away at my homework I'm going to try and create some new designs.  

I promise I'll try and be around here more.

Long time no see

It's been awhile since I've been on Deviantart.   Only recently got internet installed at my house and I've had a major artist block too.  But I am working on that! I've got quite a few things that I've sketched out but haven't been able to upload, but I'll get there.  Slowly working it all out! :D

I'll write a proper journal thingy soon

Getting things together

2 min read
So, it's been decided that I shall study a Bachelor of Science.  I was looking at switching to a Bachelor of Media or Visual Arts, but from all the research I've been doing it is not a major requirement if you wish to be a concept artist.  

What now? 

I'm in the process of setting up my laptop and eventually my desktop so I can start doing commissions.  This requires me downloading and acquiring various artistic programs such a Photoshop and Gimp etc. so that I can begin my work.  I'm a poor person so purchasing such programs are out of the question, at least until such I time when I'll able to afford them and I am working constantly with the programs.   I also need to set up my bedroom more efficiently so that I can get a desk in there and my desktop.  Acquiring an internet connection is also next on the list.  I can't do commissions if I can't contact my clients and up-load my work, I mooch of my parents and university's WiFi at the moment. 

I'm also trying to get my website together and my Facebook page. Tumblr: vaerepirestudios.tumblr.com/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/VaerepireStud… It's been a while since I've worked with HTML and website design, but with DreamWeaver I think I'll be okay. 

I'm actually finding this really exciting so I'm hoping it all goes well.  This is my new adventure for 2013.  I want to be stable and able to support myself on my own by the end of the year and when the lease for the house runs out so I can get my own small place.  Currently living with my best friend and her fiance so I'd really like to move out on my own, not back in with my parents.  That is the last possible option and it will not be a pleasant one. 

I do get internet on my phone, so I'll be able to up-date my Tumblr and Facebook more frequently than I will my deviantART, so keep an eye on them!

Yes I'm still alive

4 min read
It's been an awful long time since I jumped on DeviantART.  Last time I spoke to you guys was just before I left China.

A lot of things have happened since I returned back home.  I've moved out, I'm back at Uni and looking for work.  I would take up commissions part-time if it wasn't for the fact that my housemates and I can't afford internet at the moment.  It's a sad notion but one that i'm dealing with.

To be frank I've hit another artist block, everything I start ends up in the trash, though I'm thinking that I should do a sketch dump soon. 

But anyway...Hopefully my housemates and I will be able to get internet soon and maybe I'll find myself a nice little scanner.  But I think it'll take awhile before I'm able to set myself up as an artist.  I did get myself a laptop though.  It's a nice 15.6" screen, windows 8--which I'm finding tolerable. I'm thinking I should reopen some of my old stories I started writing and finish them.  At least then I could get them self published and earn a little bit of cash.  I think if 50 Shades of Grey can be a big hit I'm sure I could write something equally as good or even better.  I'll post what drabble I come up with here, and on my tumblr, and maybe even fanfiction.net if I get the time (and remember).  I think posting bits of my writing and my ideas will at least help me gain an audience and maybe even a fanbase so that when I do publish a novel at least people will--hopefully--buy it.  Just a thought.

At least the money I'd get will help me pay for my university studies.  I'm studying environmental science at the moment, but I want to talk to someone and see if it's possible for me to do a diploma in languages so I can study German and/or change my degree so I can combine it with an arts degree focusing on painting/literature.  My ideal career would be an environmental children's author/illustrator writing novels like Colin Thiele did about certain environmental issues.  

One of my strongest beliefs is that prevention is better than cure.  I believe that if we want to change the world, we need to change the minds of the current and future generations so that they have empathy and a love for our environment and a desire to preserve it.  That is something I would like to do. 

At least then I can combine my love for the arts with my love for science and animals/insects and everything else.  Everything is still so unclear.

But if I do manage to change my degree, I'll wait till next year,since this year is a bit chaotic due to my visit to China.   However, it'll be worth it, though I need to get my head screwed on straight and get my head back in the game.  

To be honesty my mind's been off with the fairy's lately.  A lot, has happened and it's all complicated and my mind isn't right at the moment.  I'm coping but things could be better.  Also, I broke my ankle playing basketball with some of the students while I was in China.  Didn't find out till I got home, but I'm getting it treated now. 

Anywho...

I'm going to bugga off now.  Things to do etc.

STAMPS

YGOTAS: Hug :Stamp: by LauNachtyr


So tomorrow I head off to the airport at 7am.  Which means that tonight is my last night in Zhangzhou.   I fly to Kunming and have to wait 24hrs at the airport before my next flight to Bangkok, then I fly to Melbourne and then back to Adelaide.  

Four planes, three days of travel and it's going to be so tiring.  Plus I'm going to rugged up as China is really cold at the moment but when I get to Australia is going to be so stinking hot.  

I'm probably going look like a freak when I walk into Melbourne airport in several layers.  But at least I can strip those layers off.  

I'm also not going to have the Internet until I get back home.  I might be able to connect if there's wireless.  But it all depends on whether or not there's a place for me to plug my laptop in.

I'm going to miss China.  I'm going to miss the friends I made and I'm going to  miss my students so much too.   I've had such a wonderful time here in China that it's sad to think that my time here has come to an end.
