School's Out!

Oh look! I post art for a change :0
 School kept me busy. Now it is over, so I will hopefully draw every now and again. This was supposed to be just a test for the extra tasty silver-colour I bought from Nara (in the upper right corner), but things got out of hand.
 This baby is a character from that comic I used to draw, haven't drawn him in years... I missed you so, Keeper of The Lightless Flame, Sleeper in the Dark and Lord of All Things Black Metal. But fear not friends, even if I'd start drawing the comic again today and would draw a page per week it would still take me ten years to get anywhere near this darling -____-

Looking back

 First my apologies for the prolonged silence in the blog, school has indeed kept me quite busy in the past few months. But apart from that, I feel like this has been the best art year I've had since I graduated Hyvinkään Taidekoulu! I mean look at all these bootsies:

(From left to right Shura & Maelener, Maelener again, Mizane, the yet nameless Sorcerer and my lovely Vandir)

I wish to thank everyone who has been a part of my life this year, and I hope next year will also be prosperous to us all!
And I haven't been completely dead artwise, I've had time to doodle up crappy pictures of cat-boys:

Sketching~

 Pens, markers and brush pens are so ridiculously cheap here in Japan that I can't even. At all.

 Well, I've been drawing and buying tons of them though... My lectures haven't started yet so I've had lot of time for reading manga and then, inspired by the tasty arts, doodle.

 For the last one I used a stock photo by Null-Entity for helpings :3

WIP

It saddens me greatly to admit, that I simply won't be able to finish this new print of mine in time for Tracon, now that I've packed all my art stuff for the move tomorrow... There's just never time for me to draw, moving abroad is surprisingly complicated business :'D
 But yeah, I decided to upload this wip version of the piece so that when I get back I will feel obliged to actually finish it and not just let it slide into oblivion.

 After this my blog might fall silent for a while, but fear not, come spring, I shall also return.

Japan tiems~

 So I guess it is official that I am going to Japan as an exchange student this autumn, I got the confirmation a few days back. So exciting :'D
 In order to keep this blog dedicated to my artistic stuff I decided to make a separate place to keep people posted on my exchange tiems. I couldn't decide whether to make a tumblr or a blogspot... so I made both :'D Fear not I will endeavour to keep them exactly alike so there won't be any need to follow both. So here they are, woo:

Blogguspottu and tumblor

 Also, this artsy blog will probably suffer from my very potential lack of a scanner and other tools to keep posting, but I will do what I can and try to sketch as much as I can while I'm there!

...And I got a new strike of inspirations suddenly, I'll try to make a new print for Finncon next month! I'll keep you darlings posted <3
