- Something that I don't ask people much nowadays. The past few months, I've been growing more distant from people that I used to talk to everyday, people who I label as "People I cannot live without". I guess it's the change in lifestyle, maybe it's the lack of interaction opportunities. I don't really know. 

I find myself having difficulty in starting a conversation with them. I can't, there's nothing I can relate to. We all are in the military sure, but their training is leagues tougher than mine (and more importantly in this case, different.) So I can try to empathize, but not understand.

My hobbies, I seem to be losing the drive to push them further, I can't keep up with my card game playgroup. I don't have the drive to play my favorite MMO, the MMO my friends are playing, or any game in general. I've been trying to play something fresh in my library, but I end up putting it down in such a horrifyingly short time.

My projects, laying on my bed, collecting dust. So much stuff I have to learn before actually making progress. No more good editing programs, unmotivated to do digital art with my broken photoshop. 

I find myself living each day as it comes, no plans for tomorrow, just what I can do now, it's like I'm not in control of my own life anymore. I feel empty and I have felt nothing for weeks now.


It sucks, but I think it'll come to pass. I hope.

Life on Hold

2 min read


Henlo all

As some of you guys may know I am now currently serving my mandatory 2 years of national service, therefore I will not be active on deviantart as much (was I ever? LOL) But yeah I have not touched art or a computer in a week and I came back with withdrawal and a severely reduced vocabulary. But I will keep trying to draw when I have the inspiration or free time to do so while in camp, and if I get the vocation that I am gunning for maybe just maybe I'll even improve my standards within these two years.

but for now I guess




my art career "berhenti"

Hey everyone,


so a few months ago I said that I might have a chance to travel to Finland to do an exchange program with some of the students and lecturers here.

Well, turns out I got it, and here I am, writing a journal in my claustrophobic, quiet little dorm room. 
It feels really lonely, and I feel like I'm a hundred thousand miles away from my friends and loved ones.

I'll try making new friends overtime, but for now.. if anyone's up for a chat (could be as simple as a note) 




ehhh yeah.. thanks

So I have been keeping my eyes peeled for the release of this book for quite a while now.

And last year, near Christmas, I finally got my copy of The Silver Dolphins Saga.



For someone who rarely reads books, because of time constraint, I actually wanted to keep reading on the last page.


So here's the review itself


9.5/10

The 0.5 goes to how I missed morning class because the book was so immersive that I stayed up all night reading it and oversleeping XD 



This book was a really good read, characters are immersive and the emotions in this book are vivid and full of details. The plot has an even deeper meaning if you look into it a little deeper.

You can easily tell the extent of hatred or care one character shows to another, and how livid they get when shit hits the fan.

It has its dark, graphic, and sometimes edgy moments, but placed really tastefully during times of anger. 
At the same time though, placed in between the chaos are quiet and soft moments that will leave your eyes a bit moist. 

Towards the ending, it starts to get intense, and you cannot put the book down at this point, I found myself going to bed at 3 in the morning just because I want to read "one more chapter". GOOD  LIFE CHOICES

Would recommend it to readers who want a fantasy book that has good life lessons, as well as some bloody good action to boot.


After reading it a second time, think about some of the quotes and reflect on the characters in there, you'll find out that there's more than meets the eye.


The trailer for the book is pretty neat, and personally I feel like I want to DOOOOOOOO SOME CONTEEEENT for this series in the future, (fanart and projects)

But hey, school yo'





But in the meantime, I decided to make some fanart for one of the characters in there, Sara Phoenix,

I liked working with red and purple as I rarely ever touch those and I found it really satisfying to paint with a new color pallete

So would I recommend this to friends?

Yeah!



Would I want to read a sequel to this book

Yus!

A friend of mine, :iconmyemeraldtears: , is in need of some people to commission her, in order to foot her medication bills, and hospital bills, and given that she's about my age, that's a lot to cover, and I incredibly respect the fact that she's working for it. :salute:

So, I'll leave the link to her journal here, if you are interested.
But of course, spreading the word would be another way of helping, if you can't afford.

I don't often do this, but :iconmyemeraldtears: is a cool person, who does really incredible works, so I'll make dis an exception :^)
