hello, I have no idea whether anybody is still here or going to read this. I haven't posted any drawings I've made because for the most part they were either practice, sprite edits or stuff that I quite simply didn't think was good enough. but uh. I've been making plushies in this time. quite a few in fact. so I plan to post them eventually.
I hope somebody likes them.
in the meantime I'm way more active on Twitter and Tumblr. I've also been getting back into Twitch streaming recently as a hobby and posting the VODs on Youtube. check those out if they're more your speed, I'm going to be playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time in October.

Haven't written a journal for a few months, so I may as well write something to get the other one off my page.
Yes, I went to Queensland for about six weeks in February. The weather was nearly unbearable, but hey I wasn't there for my sake. And I got paid for it, so it was all worthwhile.
So since then I've gone right back into the depressing cycle of trying to find a job, talking to a potential employer and then never hearing from them again. Haaaah.
I'm in a trial employment at a factory which I can almost guarantee you won't last after the end of the month. At least I'm not being skimped on the pay.
There's something of a recurring theme here, and yes I do value money quite a bit. It makes the world go round and if I had enough of it, it would solve all my problems. Call me as shallow as you like, it don't mean shit.
Art is not a thing that's happening with me atm, but like anybody here cares. I'm trying to get my Youtube running again tho, so do check that out if you've got the time.
That's about all I have to say that anybody's interested in knowing. I'm gonna go eat something before I get sick and cry.

An Immodest Proposal

So 2015 is upon us already. About goddamn time. And yet a mere 15 hours into the new year I find myself with quite a dilemma.
WARNING: This is a long journal. If you don't give a shit, you may stop reading here and go pet your puppy or check Facebook or something instead.
So a couple of days ago, my grandma got an infection in her eye after getting a routine treatment for her macular degeneration. Her life's not ebbing away like my grandad was about the same time 3 years ago, but my mum is really worried and going up to be with her all the same. Don't know when, but it'll probably be within the next couple of days. Anyway, not important.
My dad, just about 15 minutes ago, asked me if mum had spoken to me yet about going up there (far north Queensland). On elaborating, it turns out that there's a proposition being made to me to go and stay with grandma for a couple of months, being emotional support more than anything.
Normally I'm all for any opportunity for me to gain independence, but this idea makes me nervous.
If you aren't familiar with Australia's geography, the land has two points with a big square-ish gap at the northern end, and Queensland occupies the eastern point, with the city grandma lives in being pretty close to this northern point. I live in the ACT, a small island floating in the great sea that is the NSW about three hours away from the south-eastern coastline. Also, Australia is fucking huge. These two points are literally thousands of kilometres away from each other. Accepting this proposal means I'll be whisked far away from everything and everyone that I know.
Nothing's set in stone and I don't even know any specific details, but if it's going ahead it'd happen in the next couple of weeks. I just... I really don't know what to do. Helping my grandma is the right and decent thing to do, but if I say yes then I'll find myself almost totally isolated. Yeah I'll be surrounded by members of my extended family, but I won't get to hang out with my friends anytime I want to. Not to mention that even though my job gives only the tiniest and most unreliable amount of income, not being able to go to work means I don't get to earn my own money. I might be compensated financially and may be eligible for carer payments but somehow it just doesn't sound the same.
Sooo yeah. Maybe when I talk it out more I might be able to decide. But 3 months is a long time and there are lots of things I'm going to miss. I really need to think, but for now just getting this out there helps.
Hmm.

It's been a while, dudes

Uh. Hi. Sup. I haven't updated this damn thing in forever.
After realising that university was too much for me to handle, I've settled into a pattern of doing chores or fuck all while searching for a job or something to fill my time. And it's boring.
I've got some artworks that I should have uploaded by now, and a few unfinished ones that need attention, but I haven't done either of those things because I'm lazy.
Pretty much any updates about my life are under the #konaru's boring life tag on my Tumblr. This is where dumb digital sketches go as well because otherwise I'd just be putting more crap you don't need in your inboxes.
I want to try more traditional painting because I did a bit of that last year and the results were actually sort of decent. I guess you'll find out how that goes in time, maybe.
So, yeah. I still come onto dA pretty much every day to check my feedback and roll my eyes at the fucktards that think posting in the forums without any clue of how to fit in is the best idea they've ever had, then wail about he regs not giving them asspats. So if you want or need to send me a message then I'll definitely see it. Unless there's a technical error and I don't get it at all, then I won't. But that usually doesn't happen. I also have a 3DS (lookit me, bein' all hip and down with the kids) and I'm willing to give my Friend Code to people if you're looking for a fight on Pokemon. And I have a Psychic type Friend Safari apparently but I dunno if that's an incentive so feel free to ignore that~
You'd be better off following my Tumblr for updates, since as you may have noticed I've kinda neglected this site. But I'm not leaving dA completely...not at the moment.
Anyway, I hope you're all doing well and I hope to haul my ass into gear in the near future and actually be more proactive like I used to be.

p.s If anyone knows some good human plush artists, do tell me. I'm looking for people to make my Saints Row Boss and I've already got a couple of artists in mind.
