I' m going to be restarting an old project of mine for practicing. I have not uploaded anything on here in forever! Jeebus! I'm going to be uploading some of my more recent artwork, as well as some new stuff.

I've been mostly writing lately, but I've been in a drawing mood, so I figured it would be a good time. I have a TON to upload. OMG. TONS! Many of them need finishing and I may be doing finishing touching on the computer first to make them cleaner and such. Or I may be doing other things. We'll see...

I've been drawing my character Adrienne a lot. Who has gone from a Potter-verse fanfic character to a full main character in her own right. She now has her own story.

I'm also going to update my 'Faces of Fantasy' series. It HAD been only NWN2 characters when I started it, but I'm extending it to NWN (HoU), DA: O, DA:A and DA2 at least. Maybe more. We'll see.

So the 'Face of Fantasy' series is going to include these 'sets' for characters:
*Armored/Action: Most of these characters will naturally be armored in the game/book. Some will not be, and will be seen doing something instead.
*Casual: Casual clothing fitting of the setting.
*Modern: Modern clothing if they lived in out world.
*Costume: They get to dress up as some other random fictional character! :D
*Nude: Non-erotic, for the most part.
*Chibi: Chibi Versions of them! Yay!

So lately I've been trying to draw some comics, but have been somewhat unsuccessful and I realized one important thing. There is a major difference in the way you draw portraits (etc.) and the way you draw comics. Don't ask me exactly what that is, because I don't exactly know. I'm a good artist, but I don't know how to draw comics. I can draw detailed pictures with backgrounds and everything, but I can't draw comics. Something about cutting them off at the waist is a bit hard for me. I'm going to have to figure out what it takes to draw comics compared to drawing simple portraits and scenes.

So, I must say, my recent discovery and what not has got me thinking a lot about my weight and my health. I'm not really a "fat acceptance" type, as I don't think people who are 400lbs should simply accept their weight (if it means compromising their health). I realize people can be big and healthy. I have a friend who is more active than me and she weighs more than me.
But I realized my biggest issue with being skinny: I like my boobs, thank you very much. I like having a butt too. As a matter of fact, my three favourite things about a woman are the three B's. Boobs, Butt and Boots. :)
And the skinniest I've been was 125 lb.s, and I actually liked it. Well, not so much then because I struggled with an eating disorder, but I usually like my body. At least compared to since. Yes, yes, I should accept my body and all that, but my extra weight is because I'm unhealthy. First the Depo shot added hormones that super-charged my weight gain. Aside from that (aka lately), it's been laziness, really.
I'm not saying I wouldn't be happy with at 140lb.s or something, but I don't like being 190lb.s.
I FEEL heavy. I feel the weight when I move and I just in general don't like having a belly bigger than my boobs. Haha.

At 5'3" and only 20 I've come to a revelation that will stick with me for the rest of my life and a lot of women would cringe at. I'm a plus size girl. With stats of 41-33-42 (and aiming through corsety and dislike of having a big tummy at 42-24-42 at smallest, I'm built more like Maryling Monroe (who ranged from range of 36-24-34 to 38-23-36) than Twiggy or Kate Moss (whose stats I don't have, but they lead the thin obsessed trend we see now).
On top, I'll always be plus size with my chest, and on bottom I'll always be on the border and always be plus size if I want to keep my hourglass. Now, this kind of bothers me because of all of the sterotypes that our society pushes, but I realize... That's how I'm built. Broad shoulders, curvy and soft. My biggest problem I have with being big isn't the actual number on the pants. It's two-fold. The first is finding clothes that fit. Add my stats to my height and that problem is doubly hard. The second is the jiggle. I don't want to have a body that doesn't have any jiggle, but I want to not jiggle with every movement, my biggest worry about this is stomach and thighs, as with most women, and I rarely worry about arms or anything else.
My jiggley-ness, of course, is the easy one to fix. I love to move and planned on taking classes for various things such as martial arts (preferably muay thai, kendo and tae kwon do) and belly dancing, so I suppose the biggest issue would be that of clothes not fitting.
Despite that plus size clothing is becoming more and more common (once again, as before women were preferred to be my size or only a bit smaller rather than 5 sizes smaller).
Finding clothes I LIKE in my size is I suppose currently the biggest problem. I like feeling pretty and sexy, not like I'm wearing guy's clothes. I don't want to hide my bust or hips or make them look smaller. I like the hourglass look I have. Department store plus sizes are boring, and some places don't count it as plus size until it's 16W or above. (I'm a 1x, 14w.) I don't like tunic-type flowing top, which is the most popular among plus size fashion.
Oh, and I think I should add... 80% of body shapers are NOT built for plus-size women. There larges are too tight and create their own rolls where they cut off, not to mention being uncomfortable.

This revelation, however, has reignited my desire for my fashion design 'career'. For those who I haven't told, it's Gothic, Lolita, Punk and other alternative clothing designed for those who have curves. Mostly because, as odd as it may sound, alternative fashion is perhaps the hardest to find clothing that isn't just 'plus size', but MADE for curvy girls, much less finding plus size clothing in general, as the skinny minnie look is popular with almost all of them, and Lolita was in mind when I started my designs.

I get so side tracked from my artsy things.
Le Sigh.
But I'm determined to make me some cosplay outfits for the Sakuracon. I don't know if I'm going or anything, but damn it, I want to make the costumes! I keep putting off making cosplay outfits because I don't know if I'm going ever, but I might as well make them. I mean, worse comes to worse I can sell them or something.

Outfits I want to do:
Lulu
Tifa
