Blog EntryI'd like you all to meet my kittyMar 9, '08 7:25 AM
for everyone
Presenting to you, protoype AKA mini version of "Bronzed Goddess", topless, sunbathing, cat-headed babe of the Nile.

The teacher didn't like the earrings I put on her ears on my technical drawing of her, so I put them on her nipples instead.

I took time to light her properly with two desk lamps. She took about 3 days to make, working in 3-4 hour "shifts". She looks so nice under the lights! And don't you love her tan-line? Inspired by all the topless women at Bondi Beach.

Here's a full-body shot.

The hole in her belly is where my face will be coming out. I'll be manipulating her arms with those rods. Her ankles will be strapped to mine so that she'll look as if she's walking.

This is how big she is.

Bow.


Also finished my gray-scale project for my color theory class. We were asked to pick a reference picture and make a gray-scale interpretation out of it using collage and gouache.

I picked Gustav Klimt's "Danae". I think she turned out quite well.

I think I am beginning to find some sort of balance. I went out twice this weekend. Well, I didn't really "go out", like get home drunk at 3am. But I left my house twice to hang out with friends, and I wasn't in a big rush. And I just watched a DVD, too. That's pretty special given how busy I am nowadays. So long as I stay in my area, having a life is manageable.

Although, I did spend literally the whole day doing homework.

Still... getting there.

Back to the daily grind tomorrow.

how bout you?
margababy1120 wrote on Mar 11
me too. work and school. it's really hard. i changed my major from comm arts (ust) to nursing (california) to liberal studies (calstate san bernardino, ca) to be an elementary school teacher. I work at bank of america but will be laid-off in may. nako don't say that. finish school muna and then work more and make more... if you work more, you take fewer classes and then itll take you longer to finish school. i actually regret working a lot right now. im takin 15 units and working 28-30 hours a week. it's so stressful :( i don't know nga how i make it e. how long will you be goin to art school? it's great tho coz you're pursuing something you like. i sing pero hobby nalang :) and make lil youtube series with friends when i have time in my hands. LOL
