Yoooo, friends! Yes you heard that right!

There's not much to offer yet but if you're interested, check out for more details here!

Alright, first of all I just want to say that ANIMATING IS VERY MUCH HARDER THAN I ANTICIPATED.

I MEAN--

I think I excelled well enough because I knew the basics of the human anatomy, got pretty much used to the basics of the basics and had an animation professor than formerly worked in Disney and I feel super lucky to have her because she has the right amount of strictness. 

But that being said, despite of the high grades that I got in all of our activities (when she showed me my grades I actually scored all of them perfectly and she said that I'm the only one who had done that bUT NOT TO BRAG THO I MEAN IM JUST FEELING SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF an d my grades got pulled back anyway in my midterm exam because i didn't follow the instructions of submitting my works properly that time) I am now being tormented because right now, my finals are coming and I'm feeling really burdened because I'm in charge of animating our short film. I never thought how hard animating would actually be until I had to create the actions myself.

Yep, I'm a complete noob people.

So, to some animation veterans out there, what programs/tutorials would you recommend for beginners? Like, you know, Paint Tool SAI basic-ish as compared to Adobe Photoshop or IllustrSubmit Journalator.

And now, to some other updates... it's actually my birthday today woo! Just turned freakin' 18 _{yep i'm legal nowand still single after all these years} 

I actually feel kind of old but I don't actually feel the 18/now-legal-age spirit, y'know? And my friends were actually more excited than I was because I'm older than them and they're the ones who can't wait to be 18.

An d yep, that's about it for now, and I think I'll be posting another deviation very soon _{as soon as i finish my 2d animation finals}

Hey, guys! I'm still alive! _woo!

Anyway, recently I've been thinking that it's about time that I've earned some real cash so I decided to finally do art commissions (but not atm). 

However, I'm still feeling confused about how much my drawings should cost so I wanted to ask you guys (especially those commissioners out there) about it. Based from what you've seen in my stuff, how much do you think they would cost? I've tried looking into other artists commission infos and they look really pricey and I kind of want to stay humble for starters and then maybe gradually increase them as my style and skills improve.

Also, some tips and advice on what and what not 

Again, I'm not commissioning right now, but I'll probably start around December or next year. Right now I just want to keep my head up and prepare myself so I don't get too much complications when I finally do it.

All advice, big or small, are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Here in my place, it's already so hot like the abyss and it's been affecting my motivation to make art.

I promised myself that in my term break, I'd make tons of artworks. In fact, I have a lot of ideas on my mind, but I just can't get myself to work them out because of the hot weather.

So, if it's alright with you guys, can you share some stuff that gives you inspiration to make art? Maybe they'll be able to inspire me as well?>

The last thing that I've posted as a journal was a story about my first day in college. Now I'm posting this as my last day as a freshman.

I never expected myself to be friends with a lot of people but it was really fun because unlike in my highschool life, the people were a lot more diverse.

Anyway, I'm really sorry that I haven't been so active here for such a long time. I was really busy with a lot of school works (college is totally different from highschool), but I was mostly active in tumblr because reblogging stuff was a lot easier. So, since my first three terms are finally finished (the third term was by far the longest term of my life so far, it was really damn hard to keep up with the school works), we were given a month's break before the next one starts and with that given time, I'll try my best to be active again in here and contribute more works as much as possible!

And by the way, some of you may have found out my facebook account, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ignore your request because I have way too much personal stuff in there that are only meant for the people who are close to me and know me personally. Sorry

And so, with that I have decided to finally use my twitter account which have gone unused for four years. I suppose at least in that one, I'll be able to rant about stuff without my friends complaining or people whom I barely know anymore judging me like I'm an attention-seeking potato. I just really like to talk about a lot of stuff ok, and I guess twitter is actually the perfect place for that.

So, yeah, if you guys are interested in updates or WIPs you're more than welcome to follow me on twitter! (whop self-promotion)

Just click here.

And that's what's going on so far, I'll see you around kids.
