~UPDATE~
So yeah, i haven't been on here for quite a while sorry about that. 
Well anyway im here now and should be on and even if i don't seem to be on for the next month or two, i probably am but only scanning through my messages. Deviantart seems to be pretty dead at the moment and has been for a while for me, I don't get as much enjoyment out of it anymore most likely because i haven't been able to post up any work. I know i say this all the time but i really need to upload some work on here and the sooner the better, it sucks that i don't have a decent tablet and my Photoshop is very outdated (probably the worst version ever too), so i need to update that and find a way to set up paint tool sai on my Mac.
I might be able to use the collage photoshop after lessons or during lunch to try and get some practice again, since im a little rusty with digital art now. I won't make promises tho since im pretty bad at breaking them when it comes to doing anything soon (specially when having a brain fart and having no ideas), so all i can say is i will do my best!

Other than that things are doing ok, life seems good apart from catching the flu lol. Im also thinking about cleaning up my account, so quite a few things are gonna go since they are outdated or no longer wanted now.
I would rather make a fresh start.

~UNI~
Well uni is going great im managing to get a long with people (im so bad with social situations) and im enjoying may days at uni.
Unfortunately im a bit behind with work since i missed a week being ill, and it was the most important week for me since it was to do with artist research which is very difficult for me, oh wells now i have to do 4 artist study today and im still confused on how im ment to write it. Im a little annoyed at the fact that im ment to get help with the writing (learning difficulties) from someone at the uni but they haven't let me know whats happening -sobs-.
____________________________________________________

~ART~
Well i have decided to sell my 20inch screen Imac because i want a laptop that i can transport with me and work on projects where ever i go, plus i broke my wacom tablet so no digital art at all for now ;-; 
So i was wondering it anyone can recommend to me a laptop that runs well with photoshop, paint tool sai and manga studio, i have up to £400 to spend on a decent laptop and £100 to spend on a decent tablet (any recommendations for this too?)

Heya! well i think its time update since i have left it long enough ^^;
So my exams are finished now meaning IM FREE!! for the rest of the summer although i have to now find a job till i start college. But for now i have started drawing again i should start uploading more stuff soon once i have bought a new camera lead (needs to upload expo pics too), but for now i think i am going to start practicing how to use photoshop again, i swear i haven't used it in like 2 years now (feels like it anyway). 
Oh and art that i owe people i should be able to get done now, very sorry for the wait ^^;

Im planning to re-design a lot of my characters and possibly get rid of a few that i don't feel i can use or even draw the same, i may adopt them out if people really want the design but if not i will probs dump the designs. I have already redesigned Abyss, who is now called Squire :)

London Expo

5 min read
Omg! well I don't know what to say...the expo was AMAZING!!
This is by far the best expo i have been too, and I got to cosplay two of my favourite characters 8D
Saturday - Shizuo Heiwajima
Sunday - Trafalgar Law

So me, , and Megan all stayed at :iconanimebomb:'s house ready for saturday morning, we got a limo to the excel centre, yes a limo it was a late b-day gift for AnimeBomb. The trip to the expo was so fun, we kept rolling around the seats when going around sharp turns, balloon fights happened and then retarded pictures where taken (omg my derp face in some of them xD).
On the way to get our ticket we found AnimeBomb's friend who was cosplaying Grell (she was so awesome!), after tickets and walking around the hall buying what ever we wanted to buy, I got an Izaya, Shizuo and England badges that I just had to get (the England one went to :iconanimebomb: as a present).
After lunch we went off to the Kingdom Hearts meet and met BabySync, Nobody and Nobody who amazing and hilarious, the two heartless got into a lot of trouble xD
Then we had to walk around the excel centre to the other side, I got a piggy back from Nobody coz my feet started hurting from wearing high heels, it didn't last long so i just walked with out shoes on. I got some photos of the shoot, then me and Nobody had a quick wonder over too the Fairy Tail meet to take some pics, omg they were so cool, It made me want to do a Fairy Tail cosplay sooo much ^_^.
After dat we went to deh Durarara!! meet where I met the most awesome peeps evar, some how I ended up getting tackled to the floor by AnimeBomb as I attempted to run away. The shoot went really well and a lot of laughs were included xD (I miss you guys already!)
When the shoot ended me, AnimeBomb, Nobody, Nobody, BabySync and Nobody all stayed at the east entrance to mess about and dance to different songs.

On teh Sunday I woke up at 5am so that I could fix my sword in time for expo, coz i cut through it the night before (and actually cried). In the end I finally managed to fix it and paint it in time!!! Which actually surprised me. After the long drive to London I had to queue up to get my ticket on my own coz I was the last to get there, luckily I got to talk to some really nice people in the queue. Eventually I met up with the others and Grell!!
We went in the hall shopping, I got a new bag (a one piece luffy one which was on offer) since my D.grey-man one broke the day before. Me and Nobody sat outside waiting for AnimeBomb and Nobody to arrive, then we met some hetalia cosplayers and I completely freaked out when I saw the polar bear teddy (Bepo were are you ;-; ), we then went to the hetalia meet for AnimeBomb and had a sit down for a little while.
Eventually we just all went and took photos of different cosplayers and went shopping for stuff, I went and sat down for a while waiting for everyone with AnimeBomb's parents and even decided to have a lie down using my camera case as a pillow (as you do).
And just before leaving I finally got to meet after sooo long, I was so happy, we must meet up again next expo and speak more x3

I should start uploading the pics this week, and putting the videos on youtube.
Hope to see you all next expo or even before then depending on whats going on x3
Thank you everyone for being so awesome and friendly *hugs*
