Hey deviantart! One of my new year's resolutions is to start posting my art online more, and also to try and reply to comments and such, something I've always been very bad at haha. So, hopefully you guys will be seeing more of my artwork and more activity from me on here.

Okay, so I'm really not use to getting so much attention on my stuff as my last couple of deviations have gotten me, so thanks! I'd like to reply to all the comments and notes but unfortunately I'm super busy these days, reason being that I moved to Halifax and started a new job! I am now an animator at Copernicus Studios in Halifax, and I'm loving it! But I've been super caught up in improving my work quality and speed, plus the move alone was a lot to prepare for, etc, so I probably wont get to replying to much right away. I'd like to start updating my blog again with all my sketch work, but I gotta walk before I can run. I'm planning on painting a lot more in the coming months, hopefully, so till then! 

HEY well I haven't been very active on here the past while, decided I should update the place. I want to start networking my stuff a lot more so I'll be updating with some of my rough work from now on (well, ALL my work is rough work these days anyways).

YEP. Life is good, doing my first year in animation at NBCC Miramichi, loving it! Really feel like I've found where I belong in the world. It's a good feeling.


So I've been active on my Blogger , Tumblr and my new Twitter , again just really trying to get my work out there. So if anyone is on any of those places hit me up! I'd love to have some new peeps to stalk/follow.


Anyways, I've really lost touch with everyone on DA these days but I'm going to try and catch up as much as I can. So what's new with you guys?

Just an update to say that I've been accepted into art school! Super pumped, I'll be studying animation at NBCC Miramichi for two years starting in september! I can't believe I'm FINALLY going to start studying art. This is my 3rd year out of high school doing nothing but working, I am jut ITCHING to get my foot in the door!

Obviously my main focus is going to be to do really well in my course, I think I have it in me to do so, but I'd also like to make lots of new artist friends and work on not being such an awkward person haha. I've been told I can seem stuck up or even intimidating because I don't always talk much, I'm just shy though! Not very good with words either but hey, practice makes perfect.

AAAAAHHH I'm just so excited! I'm working full time as a waitress right now, I'll be done work at the start of august, going on a trip to New York with my girl friends and then its off to Miramichi! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG august cannot come soon enough!


Anyways, I've decided to focus on my drawing skills over all else, so there wont be much art activity on here just because I'm too lazy to make sketch dumps and I wont be painting much, but you can follow my progress over on my blog at natsmallpants.blogspot.ca/ or my tumblr at nattypants.tumblr.com/


Yep, that's it for now!

Sooo randomly felt like updating, uploaded a few things in a short amount of time so hey, why not!

Once summer ended I found myself a full time job! I'm a waitress at a cute little french bakery/cafe, the hours are sweet and the job is fun (minus bitchy customers but hey, that's life!) plus I get tips! So I'll be putting lots of money away for next year because, alert the media, I actually decided on a school to go to! Finally! Hopefully this one will stick. I'm looking at an animation program in Miramichi, looks promising and would be a good start for starting animation, its inexpensive, not too far from home, projects look fun, though I plan on going to other schools afterwards to learn some 3d.

As for artwork, I'm still updating my blog(natsmallpants.blogspot.com/) frequently, so you can find all my rough works and works in progress there. Maaan I am so overdue for a sketch dump! I'll get to that someday... maybe. I also started a sketchbook over on conceptart.org (www.conceptart.org/forums/show…), its such a great place to get some good critique and some feedback, haven't been getting ANY on here anymore so I opted for there.

I'm feel like I'm teetering on two extremities, one side being a break through in my art and the other being a giant art block. I'm changing styles AGAIN but it just never looks like what I want it to look like.... does it look pretty good or like shit? I just cant tell, and its very unnerving. I'm trying to keep my chin up and keep moving forward, but my chin is so high up in denial I'm losing site of my feet and I'm not sure what direction I'm really going in..... o-or something.

Uh this wasn't meant to be a very long journal entry, but okay I guess, I usually have trouble finding anything to write about so may as well embrace it! Haping to have some more paintings up sooon!
