hi

been a looooooongggg time, for any who still watches me

To be honest the enviroment on DA has become a bit tedious and I only check in from time to time to tame my inbox, BUT that is soley because how the website is run and due to my lack of time. sorry.

I still love you guys very much , and seeing your work on here makes my day I fave occasionaly, take that as a "I love it keep it up" comment XD

I've also come to the decision that I wont be continuing with art next year .

-because it would include masses and masses of work
-because due to lack of time my drawing skills have deteriorate severly
-and because art coursework more often than not annoys me highly more than it satisfys me.

All in all I've lost confidence in my work. And everytime I come here on DA reminds me of how undedicated ,unimporved, and uncreative I actually am.

That said I'll post ( hopefully , I said that last time and it never happened XD) everything I've drawn for the past god knows since I've posted something.

My exams start next week. GCSEs. Begging with art, and I have no idea what I'm doing. IM VERY VERY VERY behind in coursework. Im screwed. In every direction.

After my exams, from the 19th of June onwards, I should be FREE. So I may re- find the joys of drawing again, as a usualy do when I'm bored

Ive also been neglecting my 360. A lot. That should change with Final Fantasy 13, which looks... beyond awesome.

Facebook. Is. great. If you have one add me if you like ---> Ilaria marazzina

Youtube keeps me going.

I still enjoy my anime/manga , although a bit less than before... I've becoming more piccy, and look even more for good artsmanship and engaging plots, rather than settling for the constant clishe dribble that most animes produce.

uniqueness is key.

Hense,I found Afro Samurai very appealing.

This said I still watched my afternoon dose of animes during easter half term in Italy. I love my country, nerver changes Reruns of Naruto and One Piece and the eternally aired Dragon Ball for longer than Ive been alive brought a smile to my face.

Also in terms of art, it annoys me slightly that I am so used to draing in this style. I might take up life - drawing classes in the future, as I prefer figurative drawing ( I SUCK SO MUCH AT BACKGROUNDS IT HURTS XD) and drawing is something I dont think I'll ever entirely let go of, its what ive always done

Photshoo skills now > 0

Im also 16 now btw my birthday was in January, I got an I touch and a new Tv. ACE.

Recently saw the New Fast & Furious. Not bad, I need to go out to cinema's more often.

FireFox also =

um... pointless babbling...

Generally nothing absolutley life changing has happened, as it would take to long to recap 6 odd months of general living but life's cool. stressful but cool, its funny how friends and relationships change. I'm moderately happy

On another note and the main reason I decided to update:

THE LONDON EXPO IS SOON

23RD and 24TH OF MAY, EXCEL

Is anyone comming? :hopeful: (this is assuming any one cares enough to read this or would be interested enough to meet me )

If, as said, anyone is leave a comment, that would be great see you there.

Oh boy, where do I begin. I suppose a "hi i'm back and alive" is probably best.

Hi. I'm back, and alive.

My last journal entry here was..... In Febuary. Dear God, nearly an entire year

well you can all assume allot has happened within that time , so I'll keep it breif:

- no internt for 5 months, + my added lazyness = complete lack of participation on this site. I am very sorry.

-I did check in every now and then to tame my inbox under 1000 message alerts, and fav and comment breifly when i could.

- Like every student, I have been over run by school and course work and, you've heard this many times before, but i have very little time on my hands.

- consequently i haven't drawn anything for my own pleasure in a long time, though ill try to scan some of my art course work if youd like.

- I do , obviously, now have internet again. and A new laptop

- I also aquired Photoshop CS3 which I'm currently playing around with it

- after playing around ive realized ive forgotten what littel i learned how to do on photoshop. damn im out of practice.

- because of the lap top im offcialy broke.

- PC emulators are amazing

- getting back into internet social life is HARD

- I've been rick rolled a total of 12 times by my very immature friends.

- yu-gi-oh abriged has provided me with many laughs over the past months

- My autumn break last week sucked royal arse.

- DONT MESS WITH THE ZOHAN IS BRILLIANT

- I apologise for a very late Happy Haloween , im sure you all had fun I didnt.

- Neil Gaiman =

- I've also read the TWILIGHT series my Stephanie Meyer.

- Stephanie Meyer is awesome. Edward also = The film looks awful.

- Ive been neglecting my 360. that will soon change.

- GEARS OF WAR 2 is going to be my best aquisition this year. bloody amazing.

- MY brother went to New York, im wearing my "I New york shirt right now.

DEVIL MAY CRY 4 IS OUT TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY XD I SWEAR IM GONNA BUY IT AS SOON AS I GET OUT OF SCHOOL !!!!!

*hypervetalating*


okay , im okay , serious , but omg wow ive waited for so long and its finnaly out !!!!!!!!! yayayayaay!!!!

hi ya giys

Trying not to be so inactive so heres another update right so schools is same same , meant to be doing work now but oh well .

er drawing ... i'm getting there i've started touching a few random sketches dont know if theyre good enough to post but i might to a sketch dump or something. that last pick i did has pretty much just stayed as it is , i think of it more now as a sorta successful experiment, at least now ( if i can remember how) i should be able to do hair pretty damn sweetly.

Also writting , ive jotted down a few random pieces of *slightly em0* crap , which sounds good, and ive got a plot of sorts for a story which i might start. also managed to cat up on some fan fictions whihc i anit read in ages .

My bros gone to ~BARCELONA~ lucky bastard. lent him some money to spend there he better bring me mack something he should be back tomorow night he went with the school ( well college) so with his girlfriend and about 30 odd other people in his year. he bought his skate board, the idiot , but really barcelona is like skate mecca so he couldnt really pass up the chance to skate on all that beautiful marble.

he also got my tatoo touched up , the one on his neck of my name , since his skin didnt take the ink very well. meh should be alright.

I , on theother hand , might be going to see some band in a like a weeks time or something, i dont even know who the band are but my mates are dragging me so yeah. Might also be going to birmingham for some other gig too.

Ah yeah also doing some performance for my school , singing and drama crap , cuz we got a new kick ass theatre gonna have to break it in

now more importantly :~ L O N D O N __ M C M __E X PO ~:

Yeah i'm going , its on the 24th and 25th of MAY and it should be bloddy funny!!!1 irst expo ive ever been too so yeah , im going so i can blow out a whole load of cash on crap look at all the cool stuff and ... maybe laugh at some of the cosplayers ... well the really bad ones anyway, but not in a mean way I know it takes alot of effort to get/make cosplays and stuff, though I doubt id ever do it though i just really wanna meet some new people who are faintly intrested in anime/games like i am

going with a lil troop of my mates : my fantastic lil fan girl kelly, ( and by lil i mean shes really tiny) so called responsible adult but also fan girl jenny and her sister jackie. plus some friend of kelly's called jack and his lads.

anyways should be real fun! and the reason i posted this ~? to know if anyone else is going!!! please comment !!! i know i aint exactly popular on da so i dont expect a mass response but y'know its better than nothing

anyways hope your alll alright cya around~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
