Abyssal Refuge

Alright, I don't plan on sleeping tonight either, so I'll just try to finish this up. SO...Digital 3D Animation... I hated 3D modeling. Now we have to animate this stuff. lol I'm sure if I had more time to learn and appreciate this kinda thing, it wouldn't be half as bad. But this class is just ugly. It's the only course I'm behind in so far. There are SO MANY things to learn about Autodesk Maya, and it's incredibly fast-paced. Learning takes a long time, modeling takes even longer, and figuring out how to smoothly animate takes even longer than that. I literally do not have the time of day for all the homework we're assigned in addition to everything else I have to do. I asked Ms. R (yes, she teaches 3 of my classes this semester) how much my grade would lower if the assignments are late. She told me she was willing to be lenient with me, and me only due to my workload. I'm so grateful for that, but I'm still afraid I'm going to get too ...

Well...I'm holding a poll to see what fanart people wanna see next from me on DeviantART, and it's overwhelmingly Zelda at the time I'm writing this. I started wondering why that is since I draw Sailor Moon/ Uni stuff more than anything... Why do I have so many Zelda fanatics? xD I think it may be because I've done some pretty big things with the Zelda stuff. I've been recognized by some people famous in the Zelda community for it, and on IGN.com. So. I guess. :v But still. It got me curious just how much more SM art I do than Zelda, and since I'm a professional procrastinator... :D I went through my whole gallery and made tallies. I made tallies for everything Uni/Sailor Moon related, and everything Zelda related...from personal fanart to commissions, requests, cosplay...anything. Here're the results: It was overwhelmingly SM at first, and then I got into all the Zelda commissions I've had. Tons.  And I may have missed one or two here ...

There's a LOT to cover in this entry. I hesitated to write it 'cause I know I'll be here a while and there's still so much to get done even though I'm finished with the semester. I will be working on school projects while on "vacation" this winter so that my workload next semester won't kill me. And it does have the potential to. I've been very, very sleep deprived these last couple months due to schoolwork, and it will get much worse. I will be swamped with so much work next semester it's making me ill just thinking about it. My professors are worried about it and my classmates were speechless when I told them what'd I'd be doing, but I don't have a choice. I'll be taking the Video Art class, btw. They found a way to offer it, so I'll be taking that instead of Figure Drawing. Which is a bittersweet thing, I guess. Ms. S was reeeally looking forward to having me in that course. She said she'd already begun planning t...
