I just needed to clear my head...


So things will be rather quiet for the next couple of months, but that doesn't mean it's time to slack off! With no conventions to be ready for until February/March there is plenty of time to get to work on big projects for next year.

Art-wise I'm seriously trying to get back into drawing more! I have a birthday dragon to make for which I will start on as soon as I get a description for it. Also have some other unfinished pieces lying around that I want to get done and posted on here. I am trying guys, really REALLY trying! I miss being able to sit back and just let go in a sketchbook, I can't motivate myself to do it anymore!

Moneywise, I'm starting to look for a new job. I've been at Dollarama now for two and a half years and I really need a change of pace! It's now time to start paying off some debts and getting them out of the way so I can start saving (or attempt to start saving) for going back to school next year and for conventions. I will be going on a road trip with a group of freinds next August to attend Dragon*con in Atlanta Georgia. I'm very excited!!

Cosplay-wise I have two very elaborate costumes to worry about. For Anime North 2010 and I will be doing the new Final Fantasy 13 version of the Shiva Sisters. [link] That's right, we're going to be a motorcycle for AN! I'll be doing the white version. It's going to be a tedious, but extremely fun project and I'm really looking forward to start asap! Other costumes to get done include finishing Grace from Granado Espada [link] and then a few small cosplays including Heine from Dogs, Oz from Pandora Hearts and an original Steampunk version of Alice in Wonderland. Still holding on to Dragoon Dart as well, hopefully for August for Dragon*con, my first US con!

Also looking forward to doing some photoshoots with while the beautiful fall scenery is in effect. That means I'll soon have some great pictures to post of some of my smaller costumes like Spyro, Girafarig and Angela!

With all this said, first on the to do list is Pandora Hearts and Dogs for Naru2U. If I can get Granado Espada done for that too it would be great, but she's no big rush until Ad Astra in March, I just don't want her to end up forgotten in the closet so I'll work on it in small doses. For G-Anime in Feb (my birthday con, yay!) I plan to wear my Helmet Girl again and finally enter it in the masquerade!

To anyone going to Naru2U next month, hope to see you there!
