Update...

yay! I completed the birthday comic series for Lil Z-bot! Z and Miss Hillaire (inspirations for Lil Z-bot and Rude Rudy) saw the website today and gave it their stamp of approval. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy...and makes me want to do more! ^^ I promised Z that I would make more for him. ^__^

Now time for some rest... NOT! Well sort of..I need to start concentrating on school since this is my last quarter. I started my practicum at an urgent care site and I LOVE IT. I was really scared the first day, but now I'm starting to get a hang of things. ^__^

But for my downtime, (or when I don't want to do school work time) I'm going to work one some smaller Lil Z-bot comics and some "commissioned" requests. I say "commissioned" because I probably won't charge them. MEH, what are friends for. I take donations though!! *cough cough, hint hint*

Here's what I'm working on now. A night elf huntard..I mean hunter. :P My little warlock chibi was my first attempt, this second attempt is coming along nicely...



Yes yes, she is indeed naked (hence why I didn't post the full pic), but I'm still working on designing the gear. AND, my friend still needs to send me screenshots of his toon and his huntard's (sorry! I can't help it!) pet kitty. So far I'm pleased with what I've line out so far. The hair is from my chibi app, I just copied one of the styles. I like the colors I used so far, but we'll have to see when I draw out the gear. ^^

Well, it's time for me to get my butt to bed.. work, school, practicum, lil z-bot, drawing.... yeah, I need some sleep!!

Little Warcraft Chibis!!!!

I know, not exactly chibi characters, but still small anime looking, right? I was bored yesterday at work and a little burnt out with Lil Z-bot sketching.


And I thought, hey, I should upload and make a clean lineart. Dillon helped me with the colors..warlocks look good in greens and purples. Charnos even looks cute ^^ I figured a voidwalker is easier than drawing a imp.



I'm thinking about making one for all the people in my guild. Wouldn't that be cute? I'll start with Dillon's little gnome. Hehehe..

I want to be...EVERYTHING

I know I’m not the first person to wonder what they are going to do when they grow up. I might be a little old to still be thinking that way, but I always think of myself as a forever child. I think it’s because of the trauma I went through growing up; I feel like I lost my childhood. I go through periods of knowing what I want to do with my life…I want to be a nurse! I want to be a cartoonist! I want to be a stay at home mom (4-legged kids)! I want, I want, I want, I want!!!
And then there are the periods where I just want to do nothing. I just want to crawl into bed and shut my eyes and sleep until forever.
Or at least until one of the things I want to do magically appears.
 I go to sleep one night and BAM!! I’m a nurse. No studying, no exams, no waiting 2 years…
Or I go to sleep one night and BAM!!! Lil Z-bot and friends is a popular animated series, comic book…t-shirts, mugs, plushes, and figurines. Pixar taps us to make a full featured film. 21-Century Fox wants to make a live action movie. Disney wants to make a Z-botLAND inside Disneyland. Khols wants to make a line of children clothes with the Lil Z-bot characters.
Sigh. Yeah, after writing this blog post, I’m still no closer to knowing what I want to do. The search continues.

oh! it's my birthday....

HAHAHAHA.. amazing how stress and life worries make you forget things....





....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Ain't too proud to beg

Seriously, I am feeling so overwhelmed. I was excited about my last quarter of school a few weeks ago, but not so much now. After all the issues that have been coming up, money, car problems and the worry of how am I suppose to do 160 hours of externship in 12 weeks when I work full time.... OY.

I just want to shut down a cry.

Or sleep till forever. :|

So yeah, I ain't too proud to beg..so I'm begging for one of the three miracles to happen:

  1. I win the lottery. The only problem is, I don't even have a freakin' dollar to spend on a lottery ticket. I think, oh yes, I can spare a dollar for a ticket.. no, I can't.. that dollar can go into my gas tank.... *cry*
  2. I get a bah-zillion page views on my blogs for both this blog and my Lil Z-bot site. Then I can finish up school AND help my sister pay for her legal fees (another story.........).
  3. My Go Fund Me attracts enough donors that are willing to help me fund my last quarter of school. Perks would be that I exceed my goal and I can still help my sister.

SIGH.

I don't know...I just don't know. I hope some good luck comes my way.

Epic dream

Dillon and I are standing on a platform that is on top of a cliff. The cliff overlooks the beach and the Pacific Ocean. I get the feeling we are standing on a cliff in Big Sur, California.

All of a sudden a great, big glacier falls from the sky. It's falling into a spot in the ocean a couple of miles from the beach. Dillon is trying to explain to me all the scientific reasons why this could never happen. Of course when he goes into his rants it just sounds like jibberish to me.

While I'm half listening to him and half in awe of the glacier falling into the ocean..now in serious slow motion..I notice that there are little people running around on the sand dunes. I squint my eyes to see who they are, but suddenly Dillon starts shouting and pointing towards the ocean.

I look towards the glacier (still falling into the ocean in slow-mo) and see that there's a pod of dolphins dancing near the vortex that has appeared to swallow the glacier. Dillon starts running down the stairs on the side of the cliff that leads to the sand dunes yelling, "QUICK! We must save the dolphins!"

We run down the stairs and when we get to the sand dunes I realize the little people on the dunes are actually Sabina and all her childhood friends. Heather, Diva, Laura...and a bunch of her other friends are there. They are all six years old, odd, I know..since all her friends are actually different ages, and are not currently six years old...but in my dream they are. They are all running around the sand dunes screaming, "QUICK! Help us save the monkeys!!!" I see that they were all chasing after monkeys.

Dillon shouts, "NO! The dolphins!!"

I shout, " NO! We must save the bunnies!!"

Suddenly there's hundreds of bunnies hopping around the dune and I dive into one of the rabbit holes to save one. Save from what..? I have no idea.

Dillon is frantically trying to get my attention so I turn to look at the vortex that's sucking the glacier in slow-mo. I see that a chorus of unicorns have joined the dolphins and are dancing with them. Rainbows and butterflies and flying cupcakes appear all around them.

I look back at the glacier and I see it is gone and in its place is a giant circle of foam. The vortex is now just moving in slow-mo. Six-year old Sabina is holding 5 monkeys, Dillon is speaking jibberish again, and the bunnies have encircled me. They are joining hands and singing a song about dolphins and unicorns.

I know what you are thinking..what the hell is all that suppose to mean?? Well, the moral of the story, from what I gather..is, never, never, ever take your sleeping pills with pain meds and emergen-C.

update, school, work....just a blog post

I have two weeks left of this quarter to go and I'm suppose to start my externship at the end of June. The problem is that I work two jobs and I can't afford to not work. So when do I do my externship? See this is the problem with me, I NEVER ever finish anything. I didn't finish college the first go, never finish any of the TV series I watch...I think I need to watch the last episode of at least 5 shows. I go on a diet or a "lifestyle" change and that never seems to pan out.. UGH. Why am I like that?

No, I need to change my way of thinking. I keep saying "I HAVE to.." I need to change that to "I WANT to..."

Which brings me to the project my sister and I are working on, lil Z-bot. That little character was inspired by my nephew and now we are trying to make something out of it. I am like the most insecure person and I feel like things that I create and find amusing might not be what other people like. But whatever, the bottom line is that this little project is helping me stay a little less crazy and I'm doing this for Sabina and little Z. ^__^

Oy vey, I guess I should get back to work. Yup it's a Saturday.. but the good news is that I get to work from home and I'm making more an hour than my regular job. YER..momma needs some new shoes.

No really.. I do need new shoes. >.<
