Bro just my thoughts (comic stuff)

 


working on my senior thesis is a lot of work ! Also last night I was thinking about the fact that my story Little Dreamer Kyandi is rather a bit personal because when I originally wrote it, I was having a hard time, it was a difficult time in my life. So I’m considering sharing it when I’m done but just not making $ of it. I think I don’t want to make money off my art sometimes. But yes, I want to share it among people who’d like to see, may be interested, like the idea etc. :-)

Kyandi and Aka’s dynamic as a starting point is very funny to read looking back at my story 



But for senior thesis class I’ve been adapting it into a comic anyway, just because it’s easiest for me to use what I already have instead of coming up with something new on the spot lol (which I could if I wanted but I was gonna make Little Dreamer Kyandi into a comic anyway! So why not)

But um so I have ideas for other story concepts. One is the Bunny story but that is very different from what I’ve been writing and my writing style— because it is a horror story. I don’t usually write horror, so it’s different. It’s similar concept wise to something like Elfen Lied or Jennifer’s body as those were some inspirations for it. 


trigger warning- there is some blood in my Bunny drawings.  (She is a dangerous woman haha)





But yea I don’t know. I’m just considering my options at this point. Going to SVA, going to art school is one thing but putting these elements into practice is another. I guess that’s the way it goes.


Anyway I’m gonna sign off but I’ll write more later!

Thanks! Also Halloween is coming up!

 (I still haven’t thought of what I want my costume to be lol) (I’m considering making my own costume from scratch like sewing an outfit of a character but IDK that would take a while and time is ticking!)


SEE YOU ON HALLOWEEN!!!!! :-D

Finished my lesbian frog plush :-)

 Finally finished!!!!  My lesbian froggy = COMPLETE!





Bro I am so happy with how she turned out! She has freckles so I think I’m gonna name her Freckles… haha :•) sort of like the animal crossing villager who is a pink duck named Freckles, lol


^^^ that be Freckles from animal crossing heh


Anyway I’m very satisfied and I will keep crocheting. She’s much cuter if you see in person, she’s squishy and soft too… very nice on the hands :-) a soft froggy, she’s amazing!


Also, since she’s a lesbian froggy maybe I’ll make her a girlfriend hehe :-) in another color or something maybe pink or red or yellow, as ideas! 


Thanks for reading! Byeee

MY DESK BUDDY :-)

 Hi !!!!! Asuka nendo came. I want to get the clothes for her, that are already available. 

Though I could also sew some myself…haha :-)




…also I drew Crona 💜



…also I finished the first tapestry crochet project— my first finished tapestry crochet 🧶 



…also I made a cool stop motion animation for a Charlie XCX song “spring breakers” with my awesome Harley Quinn crochet doll hehe


…also some new doodles





















Mkay so otherwise I’ve been thinking of ideas for more crochet dolls, I have a list I’ve been going off of yea :-) I’m almost done with my recent stuff and then I can move on and start new projects! 


Later I may post better more consistent photos of all my crochet dolls, amigurumi + plushies, and even some other things like clothes, doll clothes, patchwork squares/granny squares, blanket/tapestry/image to crochet grids, or even household items + Zakka?  

…In Japan there’s a crochet trend called Zakka and it’s essentially household goods or items you use everyday, but CUTE :-) cute + functional :-D if you’re not sure what I mean, you can look up on google “Zakka crochet” and you can find articles, even Pinterest boards on some ideas for Zakka. It’s great!


When I do post my crochet collection of stuff I’ve made it’ll be organized mostly, so feel free to look out for it, if you want! 


Ok that’s it for now, see ya!

idk . I want to find the fun in making art again-


Hi. This is a bit of a rant  post or feelings post, whatever you may call it

 I’ve given it some thought and I don’t like using instagram. 


For me art is about the fun of doing it, not the possibility of people asking for favors, asking for free requests (which is a problem on its own), looking at your art, finding your art and sending whatever comments (positive or negative). Art to me is the enjoyment of doing the art and feeling comfortable with your hands, exploring your ideas, and feeling love and passion for actually doing it. The act of doing art alone is enough. So why I use instagram or try to at least, I don’t know. I feel pressured. Social media is pressuring. Making people feel like they NEED to get attention. To be heard. To share. Why can’t you share your art with  your friends? Why do you NEED an audience? Can’t having some close art friends be enough?


Anyway, I’m not going to pressure myself to conform to this and use instagram when I often feel depressed or shitty. I need to take better care of my mental health. I haven’t updated my instagram in a long time, and you know what? I’m okay with that.  It’s not like anybody asked. I can take a break if I need to. 


I need to appreciate the fact that I am struggling and I have a lot of stress from other things. Past thoughts and conflicts, overthinking the bad experiences in the past. Remembering my shitty high school experience even though it’s already been more than 10 years. recalling being insulted, being sexually assaulted and being made fun of and laughed at. It all burns my brain. I need to realize I am a person first. I’m trying to accept even though i’m an artist, that’s not all I am. People are PEOPLE. If you’re an artist, you have to try to separate yourself from your art. You have reasons why you feel certain things, draw or tell certain stories. So just because you are an artist, you have to remember you still have a body  


Ok this was a rant post. I’m sorry if it was a bit personal. I have a lot more I’d like to express, but I’ll save it for another time. This blog serves me well. Journaling is healthy and important . Thanks for reading. I may make more interesting posts but for now I just needed to express this. Feelings I have that I don’t talk about much, still need to be written on occasion.   Thanks for understanding :,)



I hope you remember regardless of your art, if you are a beginner, if you are a seasoned artist, if you draw one thing more than the other, if you struggle with a certain skill in art, if you’re getting better, if you’re confident, if you like colors or not, if you draw a lot or just sometimes, whatever at all, no matter what type of artist you are— you are a person who matters. Don’t forget to take care of yourself. 

❤️❤️❤️

Recent crochet/sewing projects + some wip(work in progress)

 Hiiiii! It’s tiny apples and I am tired

I have had 5 hour class today and I am exhausted and am so glad I’m back at home resting and not doing anything else important ;; phew


Here are my recent crochet projects! I’ve been crocheting a LOT (mostly from patterns, but tweaking the projects based off patterns for my own ideas, or occasionally making something from scratch completely without a pattern, I buy WAY too many patterns though LOL)



Dino cat in progress! From Maikoko studio, have to get safety eyes and finish the project, the dino cat looks so cute so far, I used pretty soft yarn in a coral pink sort of color :-) wanna make a blue one too at some point haha




Lesbian frog !! She’s so cute so far. The pattern is from LyraLuneSofties! It’s a very nice pattern by the way. Feel free to check it out, but yea I modified it so the belly has the lesbian flag! In the original it’s just a cream colored belly. :-) 

You could also do other flags or make pictures, I was thinking of looking up circular tapestry crochet but I didn’t find much. But that’s okay. It’s totally possible to sew some words on, phrases, embroider a design, I am thinking of many ideas of ways you could customize a frog! But I think mines really cute too so far, I hope to make more, I’m still working on this one tho, specially her eye sockets/eyes. She’ll be so cute when she’s done ❤️




Made this cute bra, also have to make the panties that come with it. The pattern is great! It’s from Saravah on Etsy. I think it’s called “High beach set”.  After I made it, I realized I had to modify it to help it fit me best. I didn’t realize it would be so small. I need to basically remove the sides by gently seam-ripping the stitches on the sides, crochet an additional piece in same color that’ll be attached to the side area. Also maybe make a waistband. And I’m considering gently seam-ripping the purple gingham inner lining fabric and adding a stretchier version of the same fabric, I’ve had it in my stash for a while. Hopefully I can pull this off well. Haha!  But yeah I’m sure I can do it. Don’t even worry about it, modifying stuff is something I do a lot and am comfortable doing. 

Finally I just wanna show you my Arthur plush I made cause I LOVE HIM AHAHA


he’s so soft :-) ^3^
I made his clothes separate from him so you can put other clothes on him- I usually do that with most of my plushies :-3

Also here are some short vids of him just vibing, and close ups


He’s in the car with me :-)



I added some designs to the backs of his feet, just for fun



I have a lot more I’m working on, but I’ll share more soon!  When I’m not too busy obv :-) life can get busy, sometimes, but yea!

Ok that’s all! Thanks for reading my blog and have a great week :-) see you next time!
