I finished this drawing a while back, and I’m not quite sure why I didn’t post it here. I posted it on Instagram, but damnit (!!!) I’m STILL trying to get my life together. Excuses, excuses per usual, but I think I might move up to FOUR posts annually without breaking a sweat.
Here’s my OC Jin. He’s one of many without much of a backstory, but he does have some minor details I thought about whilst drawing/painting him. He hails from a border area/desert area and he’s rather wild/active…and that’s all I got. He’s also part of my series of sexy guys with fruit colored hair š

I know I kind of promised more frequent updates in 2021, but ya know…2021 was a busy time for me, and well, the rest of the world >.> Here are the current list of excuses why I haven’t updated this website:
- Real world work was really making me hate existence itself
- Trying to get a handle on new house/home purchases
- Maybe just plain laziness?
But I think there’s only one good reason: I had a love/hate relationship with my work space. I LOVED having my own area to type and play in, but I HATED said space. I’m not big on sharing, and when the other occupant was a complete and total mess hog, I couldn’t bear down and live with it. Not to mention my desk didn’t exactly have the real estate I could spread out in (OKAY, I admit I am a sprawler…sue me :D)
Then again, now that I think about it…does anybody really read this blog? Who am I giving all these explanations to? Like I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, laying it all out just feels so damned good š

Yep, that’s it. I’ve decided to draw and color a series of guys with candy colored hair because there are too many candy colored women all over the place. I want candy coated -ahem- colored men, damnit! I get it that his hair isn’t as bright as a green M&M, but I think it suits him fine š
I will probably draw/color more now because my favorite show of 2018/2019 “The Story of Ming Lan” is over with ;_; Feng Shaofeng and Zhao Yi Ling are SO CUTE together on screen and I adore them as a couple. I especially love Feng Shaofeng as Gu Ting Ye; I mean, he’s the perfect man – powerful, funny, honorable, detailed in all things (especially with his wife) and just….damn, he is just manly. Le sigh.
Just look at the way he sweeps his hands over her arms and pulls her close; so gentle and meticulous -swooooon- SO SWEET! The show ended last week at 73 episodes so maybe in a few more weeks I’ll start a binge watching session.

I can’t believe it has been three four months since my last blog post. I mean, nobody really reads this, but boy does it feel good to lay it all out – the good, the bad, and the fugly. Since it’s nearing Christmas, I will give a fair warning to all, I WILL NOT BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA during “the holidays.” I’m not really big on social media anyway, but don’t expect a family Christmas photo nor expect a Merry Christmas SMS (but I do enjoy my little sister’s Christmas photos featuring her legion of dogs). I’m just not a holiday person a horrible person. Damn, just bait me with adorable dog photos/videos and I turn into the Christmas saint…if such a thing exists.
So what will I be doing during the holidays? Working my 12 hour/day job, catching up on some reading (I finished Hollywood Dead finally), hopefully draw on some cute anime guys, and PLAY SPLATOON 2! I’m not really sure why I’m in love with Splatoon 2, but there are certain aspects of the game everybody should love. It’s colorful, the character designs are refreshing, and it’s just nice, clean fun. Now EVERYONE run out, buy a Nintendo Switch (if you don’t already own one) and Splatoon 2, and let’s battle it out online š

After trying to finish school with a “passing” grade and squeezing in 400+ obsessive hours of Splatoon 2 since July 2017 (not to mention the highly addictive Monster Hunter World in March of this year), Iām finally back to catch up on my list of books, anime, and games. Hereās a semi-exhaustive list. Iāll have to add onto this list or make a separate page to house my āto do listā since itās a little difficult to concentrate while trying to type a blog post and watch Shokugeki no Soma s03e23 (I meanā¦who IS this Morpheus looking dude and WTF is umami?!). Perhaps Iāll post mini reviews after I finish each item.
Stuff I’ve been OBSESSED with FOR AGES

Just finished this profile of another miscellaneous guy, and surprise surprise I’m all about schmexy anime guys. Although this particular image was drawn just so I can practice painting in Procreate on an iPad Pro (1st gen…which is, surprisingly, still quick on the go with minimal hiccups), I decided to post it because it turned out…okay. I just need to work on it being more “painterly.”

Hello 2018! This website is probably ten years old and hasnāt received an update for just about that long. Sad, I know. But the good news is that Iām finished with school, probably wonāt have to study for the next five years or so, and Itās Always Sunny in Philadelphia is such an amazing show. What does that mean though? I have a lot more time on my hands to draw, read, game, and to nerd out completely. Itās the year for the newness to beginā¦or something like that?
Enjoy!
