2 min read
It's been more than a year since my last journal.
Lel.

I do know that I've kinda left the place like a thief, but, here "the sentence":
I am not deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

My life took a weird road from middle 2015 onward.
I worked for some months for an important electrical retailer, just to explode after little time because of impossible working conditions. So i decided I needed a break from shops and people in general so I officially turned into a freelancer. Currently I'm working from home for a company as a 3d generalist, so there are periods where I work too much and periods where I do nothing at all.
I've spent most of my freetime on 3d tutorials, got to learn a lot of new stuff (especially about realistic renders and such), but producing very few things. Actually, I have been drawing less and less for unknown reasons (I want to draw but then never get to finish anything, just like teenagers lol)
And as of now, I'm into indie games, animals and critters, and nothing else..not really. I can't even seem to bring myself to fanart anything anymore because I badly need to come up with something that is 100% mine.
Ohwell.
I hope to find something to post here soon, mostly because I really need to focus on my own stuff to relax I bit. I was tempted to let this account die but for some reasons I cannot. So here I am again. 
Maybe I will open commissions just to have a break from this kind of 3d works and be forced to work on something different for once @_@
That's it for now.

I bet no one cared anyway but I felt like writing all of that anyway

Cya!

Hello there, people of deviantart.
How are you all doing? °3°
I've finally returned, and I know you've been crying and hoping for this moment to come soon (?) 
And I'm sorry I haven't replied to anyone in the meanwhile - I barely had time to clean my room twice a week
Anyway, I should have left Germany in October, but for a couple of reasons I won't explain here - I'm back in Italy. 
I must still say that it's been an interesting, USEFUL experience that has kind of changed me. Guess that's what happens when a life long student jumps in the world of workers and adults.
Being a waitress for 4 months in a different country did let me to see a lot more, so much more of what you can experience outside this ridiculously closed minded valley, and if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I won't stay here at home for a long time, or in Italy at all. I'm already looking for another country to go living for a while ╰( ・ ᗜ ・ )╯

In the meanwhile, I'm probably having a 270° turn as things have changed on the artistic (?) side too.
I've probably lost my interest for the Sonic franchise, at least for now. I'm still a bit into TMNT but I'm posting those things on a sideblog in tumblr as I don't feel like dropping them here for some reasons :V
I'm currently using fanarts to practice and explore a bit more my style, but I'm looking forward something more original and new for my future works. 
And being forced to live with a laptop, no desk and very little free time made me enjoy traditional art a lot more than I used to.
I was tempted to ditch this account and create a new one for a 100% fresh start, like, getting rid of the sonic fanartist status I'm mostly famous for (I think), but that would be kinda pointless, since maybe one day I'll draw Sonic stuff again, and I'm kinda attached to this old, rusty account. I'm probably just changing route, and you'll be able to decide if you want to keep following me or not, that's it.
Still, to sum stuff up, I want to find a stupid job in MY  field. Dunno how long or how much it will take, that's the only thing - beside running away from Italy - I'm sure of. So I'm currently practicing a LOT in both 2d and 3d.
Also, Konstanz is so colorful and full of weird things, it was deadly inspiring.

Maybe I'll post some photos and some wips, dunno.

Tschüss zusammen! ^_^

Hello DA world! How's everyone doing over there? D:

I know I haven't been active at all recently (I can't bring myself to finish anything, ANYTHING, plus I've been spending my time trying to find a job and learning how to zbrush on my own and my style is changing again so I'm in a complicated period of my artistic (?) career (????)), so it's a bit pointless to notice you know about this, but whatever: next week I'll move to Germany to work and I'll get back home in October. I will most likely have no time to draw anything, and I think I won't even have a tablet or a scanner, so I'm probably entering a 7 months long hiatus....but I'm still not sure since I'll have my laptop with me.

I'll still check messages and stuff. I think.

Commissions are, for obvious reasons, closed til then.

Cyaz ;w; !

They really love to fall from their nest and ask me to pick them up and raise them.

Mr. Swallow, ladies and gentlemen.
He demands to be fed every hour from 6 am to 11 pm, to have his box perfectly cleaned and to watch out he doesn't splat himself somewhere. When he'll grow a bit older he will need to learn how to fly and I'll need to be 200% more careful....hopefully he'll be able to fly away on his own after a while.

So yap I might be kinda busy for the next two weeks or so. I'm still going to do everything that's needed to do but maybe with some extra delay. 
Wish me good luck with this critter D:


UPDATE
Baby swallow is growiiiiiiiiiing
It's finally flying around a bit, mostly trying to get on my head for some weird reason. Even if I try to put it back in my hand, my hair is still his favourite place and will get back there sooner or later. Dropping poop everywhere. Had to package my whole bedroom in plastic wrap to avoid bird poop on books. HELP

Pollo by Goophou


The thing is finally gone!
Put him out of the window where all the swallows were flying around, he looked at them for a while then it seemed that he wanted to get back in, but nope, he threw himself in da void and joined his relatives :iconyayzplz:!
Now his poop is their business, not mine anymore :V
Here's video, even if it's a bit suckish but still better than nothing I suppose :la:



Sorry for the birdy spam but it was necessary k bye :dummy:!

Have you ever thought of redesigning your character? If so, you must have faced the challenge of finding the right color scheme for him/her/it/what.

:iconsteamystefano: asked in a poll which color suited his character better since he's redesigning him, and gave those two options.
<da:thumb id="469906490"/><da:thumb id="469911428"/>
Most people answered that they liked the first option, the brown one, better.

But I'm here to disagree and tell you why.

First of all, the brown one:




While brown may look more "masculine" (more than the other option at least), it blends too much with the shoes and there is too much contrast with the white bangs on the forehead. The overall design looks a bit too saturated, and brown is a very common color that doesn't stand out too much in terms of originality.


In the second scheme color instead, the slighty pinked tonality of the fur is definitely closer to the white of the bands, making it a better match. Also, being ligther and less saturated, the color of the shoes stands out much more, adding some contrast between fur and fabric. And in the end, it's a slightly less common color, giving the character a hint of extra originality.

So, don't be afraid of using pink for your beefcakes. It's gonna make them manly and better looking overall.


Ps. this is just my cute way of telling you that you made the wrong choice and you should be blamed for that. 
No really, I just wanted to show why I like the second one better lol

and I wrote this journal because I like pink
