Cosplay, ANIMATION, Work, School, etc.?

Hey guys!
It's been a while since I've written a journal and even longer about updating you guys huh? haha I'm so bad x'D
so let's start! I'll be fast! I promise

COSPLAY
Since it's a lot colder now, that means there's less cosplay stuff from me and less events. It picks back up in May xD haha
I bought a sewing machine early last month so I'm learning to sew to make my own costumes which I'm super excited about <3
So, sorry guys! You won't be seeing many cosplay photos for a while but I WILL tell you what I'm working on
V FLOWER V4x [My commissioner is late on this v.v]
Ventus [Kingdom Hearts]
Kagamine Len V4x [When appearance is revealed]
These are also the three cosplays I am doing for Anime North 2016. If you plan to go, let me know! heehee x3

ANIMATION
I don't know if you guys have been paying attention but I recently joined PokemonTownship which has gotten me stupidly active. Like every week I'm posting at least one to three pictures -- some are in my scraps or sta.sh though
It's a super fun group and I'm so glad it's getting me constantly flowing with art and IMPROVING like holy crap I can do backgrounds now?? and perspective?
yesterday I uploaded my first image with ANIMATION I'm so proud and happy with it! I know it's pretty crappy and blocky but for never animating before?? I'm pretty proud~~ This also gave me a huge boost confidence of "hey! I can do this!"
So I'm going to be fiddling around more with animation in the future xD Don't mind me~

WORK
So I started a small job back in September. Once, sometimes twice a week I work for a certain period of time. Which also has kept me busy.
I mean, I'm not making as much as if I was working retail or something but I mean, it's better then being broke, right? haha X'D I'm still looking for a full time job, at least until I start school again which brings me tooo

SCHOOL
With the animation being a success last night my confidence to go back to school has improved majorly! So with this confidence I'm going back to working on my portfolio and trying to get into the college program I want! Wish me luck <3

And I guess that's it~!
