ei ole huomista ei eilistä

Happy October/Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony Day! I'm still not getting much study done, hmm. Starting to worry a little...

Trying out watercolours on this sorta thing for the first time. It was frustrating at times, but still fun! The black dog is meant to be a Finnish Lapphund but I screwed up a bit there h-haha (there was also meant to be a hidden shape among the "foliage" but it's kinda hard to identify now..)

...I have to say that peeling off masking fluid is really, really fun


I love Wedge-Tailed Eagles! Even if they don't even look like birds sometimes.


And some quick animations that I did on DoInk (the second was done July last year)

ja maailma on sun

Studying is terrible asdf you would think I'd be getting a lot done in the time that it's taking me but I get so distracted...!

err...




I can never draw Finland's hat-thing seriously what is it even orz it always ends up looking like a deflated mochi...



Some requests for people that I took to de-stress a bit



Redrawing something (oh man Denmark's face)... the red undersketch here is from last year but I should've just redrawn the whole thing because it was hard as heck to work off an old sketch
...and then I lost patience anyway asdkfh

Some books from the library & a copy of the Kalevala that I bought haha...

I got distracted by a handwriting thing aha that's all

nej jag kan inte dansa

I'm gonna be really getting into study for school exams so if you see me around, tell me to go away! And I'll be 1000x slower replying to everything, I'm really sorry in advance. After exams I'll be finished with high school forever, hurrah :)

After I finished this I realised they kinda look like a sunfish. Then the next day I realised that the word 'sunfish' looks like 'sufin'. hahaha :'| This kinda creeps me out the more I look at it though ahh

okay, Finland. whatever you say, Finland...

omatunto anna minun olla

I think I decided I'm not pursuing art in uni next year and now I have far too much time! what do I do with it... and I also realised that I forgot how to draw :') Suddenly fanart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDRSmkmRYRI this song came on while I was drawing this ehe

There might have been a little frustration here. I find action poses 10000x easier than static ones but it still didn't help my art block


My hair is even more unmanageable than this shortly after a wash. (+Tegaki E progress stuff)


Nice book, Finland... the perspective/anatomy on this is probably all wrong ahh
Totoro was for my sister but I don't think she's even going to use it haha and I hate putting watermarks on my work too, I'm sorry.


I did this in February (read: when it was actually relevant) but for no reason at all I thought I'd just compile it. I only put in the frames that I drew over, so it probably won't make sense unless you've seen the original ad.

sä et voi nyt tulla

Just one thing today & some detail shots. I might still fix some things actually I always say this and never really change anything aha even though I'll probably wake up tomorrow and hate it orz
I think I originally envisioned it being smokier & slightly more dingy but I couldn't get it to look right



I thought it was normal for people to work on ridiculously huge files but apparently not?? These are at 100%

oh wait have some kanteles... kantele? kantelen? too which probably wouldn't be functional in real life (on a side note, Finnish grammar I will conquer you one day I swear it)

päästäkää minut pois kalliosta

I've kinda hit an art slump and I'm feeling pretty inadequate about my lack of creativity, and time is running out... aah (not to mention I just found out I have pretty severe anaemia and vitamin D deficiency h-haha how am I even functioning with those sorts of iron levels)


I don't think I like Aleksi's colours much, I'll need to keep experimenting








I need to do another one of these because I don't think this one is good enough for RMIT... I'm so nervous about getting in to the course, 30/500 is a crazy acceptance rate! It's either that course or science, pretty much.


An attempt at making her look somewhat decent...

Aaaand have some animations! The first one was from last summer (I posted it here before as a gif but I added a few extra frames) and the second I did yesterday in Photoshop just for relaxation \o/
