its been awhile...

song of the day -  Rochelle Jordan - LOVE YOU GOOD (LSDXOXO Remix)

 

 hello all, it's been forever since I made another blog post. sorry about that, i deal with this thing called Life, crazy right? XDD

anyways, i have a part time job now! I was looking around for volunteer work so I can add some experience to my resume and what not, so I looked into my local state park (thanx to a friend who recommended i should into state parks for my major/potential major). a ranger there gave me a job offer instead which is went swell. he's a pretty nice guy, i found out he also worked with web designing back in the day which is super neato! as for my position, i work in the front office. it's a bit overwhelming bcz we are severely understaffed and working in the office comes with tons of responsibility/management @_@... my coworker has more experience than me, so shes been helping me around. she's pretty cool too, we share some things in common too like playing video games.

 hey, as long as i get paid, i can't really complain... plus working at a state park is gonna look so good on my resume >:]

i'm planning on signing up for my local zoo's internship too *crosses fingers* i hate cover letters...

enuff of that, what have i been watching lately? so, i recently finished watching rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles with my pal, genn; and i gotta say, i absolutely adore the pure chaos in this show! 

I guess you could say rottmnt would be my first actual introduction to tmnt, a fantastic start tbh. i was never really interested in the 2012 show. i love how they stylized the turtles' design and not to mention...the PERSONALITIES. everyone is so goofy and unique in this show. i love april, donnie, raph, and mikey especially. i love how everyone feels like a real family in this show, its so comforting. 

i also finished rewatching the og teen titans purely because i just wanted to see my favorite girl, terra again. This show was an insane nostalgia trip, i did not regret every minute watching it. i forgot how adorable terra and beast boy are, i love them so friggin much....even if they broke my heart into pieces lmao. terra is such a tragic character, and watching it as an adult now brings nothing but heartache. shes a very relatable and complex character/ she's still a honorary teen titan in my heart </3

I got splatoon 3! best splatoon game yet, nuff said. I love the new idols, music, and story mode. what can i say? i love squid games

alright, and with that, im ending this entry with some oxtail pho i got today! it was yammy 

uhhh

 yes i'm thinking about joining the animation industry

of course i can animate

witness.............................THIS

-nod nod nod-

actually, I have the animation skills of a flipnote studio creator (for example this is an old flipnote i made when i was like 12), and this was just me trying to figure out the animation feature in csp. i'll get the hang of this eventually...............

 Chicken ramen I got at a ramen place downtown :9 It was delicious!

 Outing a few days ago

godzilla figure obsession

For some reason, i've been a bit obsessed with godzilla toys for a while now. I find myself constantly checking mercari, bigbadtoystore, and endless amount of reviews on youtube...

It all started when I saw some NECA toys in a toy shop at my local mall, I picked out the 2003 goji just cuz it looks super smexy to me. Then I was like "dang...I want more...godzilla...and kaji in my room"

So, I went to pick up the target exclusive '89 biogoji and I absolutely love it. It looks like Godzilla got slimed by TKO lol

 Apparently, some people don't like the sculpt of it's head cuz' it looks "odd". I like it though. He looks cartoony and cute and even looks like a cat. Fun. I like messing around with this figure because it has really nice articulation on it, especially the tail.

 

I also ordered the '56 poster ver. because I like the paint and colors on it.

I really want to own a sh monsterarts figure...I just hate how pricey they are, most of em don't even come with accessories too like what gives? Regardless, I pre-ordered the sh monsterarts '89 biogoji because the 2021 godzilla was already sold out, but it's whatever, I don't really care for the monsterverse design. I'm a bit worried that it's articulation will be the same as the neca's. I mean sh monsterarts is known for it's good articulation, so it would be a shame if it operates the same just with an accurate sculpt. But, who knows!

I love heisei goji, it's my favorite design besides 2000. I'm sure i'll be pleased when it arrives, I just hate how expensive it is, the worst part is that it doesn't even come with anything!!!

Life updates

What's up y'all. I haven't been drawing for weeks because I nearly screwed up my arm and hand from drawing too much LOL. But don't worry, I am OK! I just need to be more careful next time and make sure to give myself some rest and plenty of stretches. 🐯💢

More thangs under the cut:

Site design update

So, I updated the site's layout once again. It turns out going ham with CSS is pretty fun! when it actually works

I think my site's look will never be set in stone cuz' I can only be satisfied for so long and I still need to tweak a few things. As of right now, I like how it came out. What, you don't? Well, idgaf...

Did I add any new links? Hmm, no not really, but in the future I plan to add some site buttons on here. 

PS: I'm super sorry to mobile users, I know there's like some weird things going on but i'll fix it soon..maybe...idk

Inspiration Tuesday

 

 

 

Gonna start a new thing where I try to post things that inspire me on Tuesdays.

To kick things off, here's a trip down memory lane for those who grew up watching Nicktoons in the early 2000's! I have such a soft spot for the wacky animations made in flash that used to air on Nicktoons network. Such unique and creative animations used to pave the way on the channel making it truly an experience for younger me. They even had an annual event called Nicktoons film festival where many different animators participated with their own animated shorts and the winners get their shorts aired on the channel, I wish nick still continued this.

こんにちは～！

 Recently I decided to learn a new language, and that language is, you guessed it....Japanese! I've always been highly fascinated about translating other languages into English, especially Japanese. So, I took the initiative to try learning how to do it myself and it only took Twisted wonderland to motivate me enough to do so. XD

Anyway, so far I have hiragana/katakana, the two basic alphabet systems in Japanese, memorized. Next in line is the dreaded kanji and grammar; I've already memorized some kanji and vocabulary with Wanikani, it's a very cool site that helps you memorize kanji with silly mnemonics. As for grammar, I watch this channel on Youtube called Japanese Ammo with Misa. She has very informative and entertaining videos which helps me learn, I recommend checking her out!  

In other news, I updated my resources page and added a new section where I dumped a bunch of my brushes I use in CSP under "My Art Resources". Enjoy ~

If you haven't figured it out already, the title just says "Hello" lol

Went out to eat today!

Got sum’ yummy food at a Mexican restaurant today. The food pictured above is called a Torta Azteca (torta bun, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and pulled pork topped with sour cream w/ a side of fries). I was full after I ate half of it...

I also got cheesecake. One being a cinnabon cheesecake and another cheesecake topped with strawberries! (Not pictured)

Tigers!

So back in 2017, I went to the Audubon Zoo and took pictures of the tigers I saw!

Sorry for the amateur photos, i’m not a photographer. I remember frantically taking pictures because I was just so excited to see my favorite big cat ever!

Bonus: Leopards!
