Busy Busy Busy

...By, you know, myself.

30 DAY CHALLENGES


Day 10: Favorite candy

I adore hi-chews. I haven't gotten to eat a good variety, but the ones I have are like chewy, sweet rave parties in my mouth.

Making this gif was also a huge pain in the buttocks. I couldn't figure out at first what I was doing wrong and was really close to head-desking the keyboard. Eventually, it all worked out, but wow, my stress levels....


Day 11: Turning point in your life

I..tried to do a loose style with several colors so that I could make some kind of cohesive kaleidoscope effect, but this ended up a lot messier than I had expected. In the end, I got really tired trying to figure out how to do what I was trying to do, forgot in the end, and just let my eyes flip out on the rainbow. Hahaha. I have mixed feelings on how it came out, buuuuut for now eh.

The turning point in my life was when I was in elementary school (maybe 2nd grade?) and my school district had its once-every-four-years Circle of the Arts where all the public schools would showcase music and art. I remember wandering a bit away from my 2nd grade art section and I found my way to the senior high school student art section all the way at the end. I don't even remember what I saw, but I just felt incredibly awed seeing all the work of the students that were done seriously and honestly. I could see even at that age all the hard work (and quality, of course) that was levels higher than mine. Haha. At that time, I think I made my first long-term goal that I wanted to be up there, too. 

I was lucky to fall into the four-year mark for the event when I did become a senior and it's the strangest feeling of seeing a half-thought promise actually come to fruition. It was even stranger when I saw little kids staring at my stuff like I had done. It felt a little bittersweet then.


Day 12: Most recent accomplishment

Exercising every morning so far for thirty minutes. I am so not fit, it's actually a little scary...? 

Also, I am getting the hang of this gif business. 


Haha, as you probably noticed, I made a new BG since I had scrapped the old on and had been meaning to make a new one. I thought I'd be funny again and designed this little thing. It's based off this:




I was sick of a lot of people yesterday and just drew this to steam in the only way I really knew how besides procrastination. I'm sorry I have a low EQ, world.
