First week done and first DnD session!!!

Heya everyone! So I completed my first week of classes! It went really well :) I love all my classes ^_^ Just wishing that History of Photography wasn't an evening course -_- also, the guy is harsh! If he catches you doing anything but taking notes on your laptop you're automatically dropped from the class! At least my Typography teacher gives you a warning!

Also this week was my first session of my DnD campaign! It went super well ^_^ I'm doing a mythology/zodiac campaign. First session we spent the first two hours rolling up characters and general goofing off. Then the story started with them actually already on a quest. They go to the address of the person and who greets them at the door? A blue two-tailed fox! XD He needs to get his magic orb back because it contains his soul! I based this off of a real Japanese legend. Except in the legend the fox kills the thief >.> so he gives them tea and the first part of their payment and tells them it was a pack of wolves that took it and beat the snot outta him. So they go looking for the wolf pack. On the way they meet a squirrel which was inspired by the one from Emperor's New Groove. I even did the noises he made and gave Kellen and Sully acorns ^_^ (they do things later... >.>). They find the wolf pack, which is actually a Worg pack lead by a Winter Worg. I almost did a full party kill! It felt awesome for me as the GM ~^_^~ lol  FEAR ME MORTALS!!!! XD

So John got mauled by two of the Worgs and almost died, Caitlin was unconscious because she also got mauled by some worgs, Sully and Chris got mauled and were also unconscious, Kellen brought Caitlin and John back just enough for John to think up sticking a crowbar in the Winter Worg's mouth. So Caitlin took the crowbar, used Mage Hand to stick it in his mouth to keep it open, then john threw his bandoleer with two vials of alchemist fire and one vial of acid into its' mouth, doing some serious awesome damage. It was pretty awesome XD They got some healing items for treasure and used them to heal up. They got some other treasure items too :P And that's where we ended for the night! Technically the worgs should've killed a couple of them... but I let them off :P don't tell them that! XD

So, here's my work area for Senior Show:

Includes screen printing supplies, a fan for drying the water colors, plush animals, children's books for inspiration and reference, pokemon calendar that host family gave me, drawing MJ drew for me and SNACKS!!! XD

 A sneak-peak of my book:

*munch munch munch*

 And finally, meet the original Ludwig! :D

Hi guys! :D

My parents gave him to me last year and he inspired me to write Ludwig and the Quest for Color! I made him look quite a bit different in the book though. Still love him! :D He'll make a special guest appearance at the show! :D

That's all I've got for ya!

Go Pack Go!

So I had a pretty awesome weekend :) As in my other post I saw my parents ^_^ Then I ended up hanging out with Chris and MJ! We met up in Eau Claire to have dinner and do a little shopping XD I got this awesome tea pot set for $10 at Goodwill! It's so pretty too! I got a few children's books, some packaging labels for my Senior Show (they were only .10 a roll! so I bought them out and got all 32 that they had XD), got Pretty Pretty Princess for $3, and a few other things :) We also watched movies that night until 4am! ahhh!!!! XD We watched Fern Gully and The Hobbit. Good times :)

Sunday was spent wanking up to a cat in my lap then scurrying off to Eau Claire again for the Packer game!!! Oh man I'm so excited we got into the Super Bowl! That was an intense game!!! Can't wait to bake for the Super Bowl Party!!!!! It'll be my first one ever!!! XD

So today is my first day of classes. Started the day out working at the photo studio for Bill and the gang. Then I headed out to go to Yoga class with my fav prof ever <3 Then grabbed a to-go lunch from the Commons and now I'm working for Barb!

I finally have a story idea for my DnD campaign!!! Took me long enough XD I'd post it but I don't know who all from my group reads this >.> don't wanna spoil anything!!! :P

So here's my busy life this semester:

I'll try to fit some food and sleeps in there somehow...

Feel free to text me or anything. My evenings are looking ok at the moment... that might change though XD who knows >.> I still want to see people ;-; If you wanna do dinner sometime contact me! I'll mostly be living in APPA :P Gotta get my shit done!

Winterm Done! :D

Sorry for the lack of updates! BUT! I'm done with my Winterm class now!! :D Holy cow that was a really intense class! But I really enjoyed it and learned a lot ^_^


Take a look at my temporary portfolio site here! It only contains pieces from the class :P It'll be up for 2-weeks only!

So my parents were awesome and came out to see me today! Took me to Culver's and to see Black Swan. Holy cow that movie was...awkward, intense and amazing x_x wow, I don't even know how exactly to respond to that movie...


So today... I don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of it... just kick back and relax I s'pose :) we'll see what happens.

When my parents came to see me today they brought along a package I got from Japan! It happened to be from my 2nd host family I stayed with and, unfortunately, I hadn't heard from them since I left Japan! So I was really surprised to even get something! He got me the Pokemon poster and 2011 calendar that they have at McDonald's over there XD They also have a 3rd daughter now!!! She's so cute! <3 I have the calendar up in my room but I don't know where to put the poster... maybe I'll just save it so it stays nice for when I get my new place :P

These are sooo awesome!!!

So tomorrow I got invited to go watch the Packer game with a few peoples so yeah should be fun :P I don't know where we're going or anything x_x I was just told a time frame >.> haha it'll work out I'm sure XD

Classes start on Monday!!! AHHHHHH!!!! I hoping for an awesome semester!!! My classes: Yoga, Typography Design, Senior Show, Class Piano and History of Photography! And yes, I'm taking piano XD I miss playing an instrument and I only needed 1 credit to have a full semester! So I thought why not?

So yup, life has been good so far :)

I'll just leave this here....

Since I'll be insanely busy for the next few days I'll just give a sneak peak of my final project:

 

Flower Dragons!!! :D

Epic Battles

Hi all! This last weekend I went home for a little bit. Had a -delicious- homemade mac and cheese made by mom :) Grabbed some stuff I need for senior show and yeah, relaxed a bit. Saturday I attempted to get other supplies I need but failed miserably -.-

I also spent Saturday evening watching my first full Packers game! Haha I never thought that'd ever happen! I had a ton of fun though :)

So here's my current wip from class:

Theme is "Modern Heroes." Obviously not nearly done with this :P but it's getting there!

I really can't wait for senior show to start! I've got sooo many things I want to do!!! Great plans, great ideas, I'm so pumped!!! Plus, these guys can't wait to join me at my work station:

That's about all I have for now :) Gotta work my butt off this week!!!

Lil' Hoots and Photo Shoots!

First: PUPPIES!!! <-- WATCH THIS NOW

This logo is awesome!

So yesterday I was greeted with a fantastic sunrise (will post a pic later). Pretty good start to my day :

For class we did a photo shoot for photo composite purposes. We had to do a self portrait and a multiple photo composite. For my group one I'm doing this like "Modern Heroes" thing where I have 2 guys that got thrown into the fantasy realm fighting off a dragon or something. The one guy brought in his guitar so I'm going to have a hard-core Metal Bard XD Then for my self one I'm doing this sort of "beast within" thing so we'll see how that turns out.

Last night I made brownies with MaryJo :) they're yummy! I made these awesome creamcheese brownies and I always food-color the creamcheese. So we made them green in honor of the Packers game this weekend :P I got to cuddle with their puppy :) she's such a cutie!!!!! I ended up spending the night over there and the cat decided to sleep with me XD

So there's been this huge hullabaloo over the Astrology signs. Now there's 13 of them? Apparently I'm the new sign, Ophiuchus, which is a Snake Holder. I refuse to accept this and will always be Sagittarius!!! It's like Pluto all over again. Leave things alone people!!! Are you -that- bored?!

So I'm heading home tonight after class. Going to have supper with the family tonight then tomorrow I'm going shopping for supplies for Senior Show tomorrow :) I'm so looking forward to Senior Show now!!! :D I know everything that I'm doing and my Prof likes my ideas! I just gotta do it now!! :P

Here's the dragon with more stuff done to it:

And here's a new piece I'm working on:

I wouldn't touch this guys' cookies...

I'm having too much fun with this next piece XD

 

Ain't he cute? <3

So yeah, I can't believe I'm drawing something this creepy! It's also probably one of the most intricate drawings I've ever done! And I'm not even near done with the line art!!! x_x I've spent....3 hours doing just this much? Yeah, a lot of time :P

Class is still going well. I was able to go back to work today! I guess everyone was really happy I was finally able to start working again, made me feel needed <3

I think I'm going to get my computer reimaged so I can get Premier on it and stuff. I'll definitely need it next semester!
