I haven't really spent a lot of time here, as of late. My focus has a tendency to shift a lot. So I have spent the last few months buried in work, figure drawing, painting and reading. I went back in today for some resources, and had a look at my gallery. And oh my, it's out of date. It's kind of crazy how much better my drawing has become since January... So I took the liberty of cleaning up a little. Hopefully I'll soon be able to make some real updates.
I have been reading A Song of Ice and Fire like a maniac, this last month. I'm halfway through A Dance with Dragons now... And to my big surprise, I have sucked the universe in like a big dry sponge. I've spent a lot of time studying medieval armor, weapons, landscape painting and horse drawing - and hopefully I'll soon be able to put up some paintings, of my own imagery of the books. I have limited my watching of the series a lot, because I have found reading so awarding.
Summer is here, and I'm soon going home to Denmark. I went home to work at the Eurovision and will be going home in a week to attend Copenhell, and it has struck me how much I've actually missed that little pile of sand in the ocean I call home. Sometimes you have to go east when you want to go west, I suppose. I have also finally found a line of study that I find interesting. Hopefully I'll be able to make an everyday possible, where I get the proper time to study both for university and drawing, after the holiday. I don't want to give up on all the lovely progress I have made since September... Maybe I should do one of those month-by-month memes, just to line it up.

All in my head
Why do I write here now and then? There's basically only one person I know of who reads this, so guess it's just for letting out steam. Which can be useful.
I'm in another art slump. Sucks like hell. There's a lot of stuff going on in my head right now, plus I'm busy like perkele with my studies. The teachers seem to take pleasure in bunching all the major assignments up in large clumps. I'm so behind it's embarrassing, and my goddamn mother is driving me insane with her talks about how I lack in study-morale. Everybody has bad phases, and I'm doing extra-curricular work by translating Korpiklaani texts! So, nu-uh mooom! (Yes, I'm 23.)

A weird weekend
It's been a really weird weekend. When I took the bus from the central station to the university this morning, all public institutions, including my university, had flags flying half. There was also police everywhere, some even visibly armed, which is super rare here. Everything else was almost distressingly normal. I have learned my approximately 15th way of conjugating a verb in Finnish today, I am still behind on my homework, I am waiting for my new tablet (not a Wacom kind, but a Samsung note), that I ordered last wednesday for my birthday-money and some of my savings, I am still planning on going to a concert on friday...

Finnish history sucks
Well, danish winter sucks. It's butt windy, humid and daaaark. It is, however, the best time to sit back and get some drawing done.
I have gotten into the most amazing habit ever, of drawing every day. I don't put a lot up here, because, well, I don't feel like it's good enough. I guess I have too high standarts. I just don't feel like I'm very consistent. One day I want to make a graphic novel, the next it's all about dat paint. I have a feeling, that I could benefit from making a folder here for my OC's and everything related. Too bad I have no idea where to begin.
I have signed up for a classical drawing class in Copenhagen, running over
Cracking an Art Block
I've been stuck in a really bad, soul crushing artist's block lately. It has just hurt to even lift a pencil, and I have wanted to break my tablet over my knee more than once. But I think I'm moving out of it... I am currently visiting Denmark, and found a place yesterday that sells Imagine FX Magazine (probably the only place in Scandinavia that does...) It was incredibly inspiring to read through it last night! Also, watching youtube-videos by Sycra (https://www.deviantart.com/sycra), HowlSeage (https://www.deviantart.com/howlseage) and Will Terrell the last couple of days, has helped me cope. My poor Cintiq had probably not been safe and in one piece, had I not had their good words of encouragement.

No really, I'm happy to hear that I won't be completely alone in going to Copenhell. I know you'll probably fall down some rum bottle with Ea, but I hope to share a beer with you at least one time
